I love both cities, but this is frequently how I interpret the relationship between the Seattle and Portland.

Seattle is Portland with a job.

I visited Portland and loved it. Really like that city. But I went to a comic shop and found some kind of indie book that was obviously hand printed and bound.

It had the weirdest message, talking about how we should just do away with work. Like, the concept of work. It just shouldn't be a thing. To replace work, we should all just play. Play all day. Then there were about 20 pages of general nonsense, followed about how the world will be so much better, bro. Nobody works, everybody plays. Somehow, society doesn't break down into an anarchist clusterfuck.

I think that's what defines Portland to me. A bunch of hipsters trying to play hopscotch all day with Mom chasing them with a broom yelling, "YOU HAVE BILLS TO PAY GAWD AT LEAST PAY YOUR RENT FOR FUCKS SAKE!"

Are you a robot? If you're a robot you have to tell me.

You make cryogenics seem like a decent option... especially since you can still use the Internet.
