LOL, what now? Are you claiming countries are experiencing significantly higher temperatures than forecasted due to having or being in deserts?

I'm sorry, I agree 100%. I forgot my /s.

Ok, but it's not gonna happen.

Certainly not with that attitude.

Do you realize how hard you deflect or is your normal MO just a constant red herring fishing expedition?

I'm going to break this down in summary for the audience, then I'm disengaging to preserve my mental health.

You: these people just want to live in Portland because it's fun. They should move. Jobs are everywhere. I work from home.

Me: that's an awfully privileged thing to say (as in, jobs aren't everywhere for everyone and not everyone can work from home, including the electrician husband in the article).

You: The woman in the article is privileged too.

Me: what does that matter?

You: she could work from home like me.

Like any of that has any bearing on anything. You're just stretching hard to justify being judgmental and are cranking out bad faith arguments to support that.

But so do the folks in the article (also have privilege):

And that is relevant to my comment how?

I suspect you're just deflecting now as that's not what your comment communicated or suggested. You said they're making their decision to stay in Portland because they want to live somewhere fun, something that isn't even suggested in the article.

When you make a statement with no evidence to support it, it's often referred to as "making shit up". If you can cite a reference in the article that explicitly states that they're staying in Portland because they want "fun", I'll eat my words and issue a public apology (edit: as a post, not a comment, on .world for all to see.)

Wow, a critical comment that adds nothing of value to the conversation, attacking the commenter instead of the comment. Even more shocking!

I work from home. Everywhere has a job.

Someone here clearly hasn't checked their privilege or even just thought about it.

But, no, these folks weren’t complaining about jobs. They were complaining about not having stuff to do.

If you actually read the article, you'll see this is also just made up.

Or maybe where their friends and family live? Where their kids have friends and support groups? Maybe where they've lived much of their life and don't want to leave?

The previous poster is just making shit up so they can cast shade. It's sad, really.

Assuming they're referring to the Christian God, a selfish, emotionally unstable mega toddler, their behavior would be appropriate.

Big oof here. Maybe make sure you understand what you're talking about before criticizing others?

I think you meant gambling, but gamboling is probably disallowed by these nitwits too.
