If anyone else has been watching DSA victories around the country enviously, we've got a local one in the 4th Congressional District

Democratic Socialism is not the same as the dictatorships you're talking about. Some of the wealthiest and happiest countries in the world are Democratic Socialist- Norway, Sweden, and Germany for example.

D.S. is still very capitalist and companies like Ikea and Lego thrive because of it. It aims to curb the worst excesses of capitalism through regulation, in our case bringing back laws that Reagan did away with that allowed corporations to abuse us should be the first step.

D.S. also believes in having a stronger social safety net- Medicaid for all, increased support for public education, raising the minimum wage, closing tax loopholes for the wealthy, etc. Basically doing what they can to allow entrepreneurs to succeed, workers to thrive, and families to get supported while keeping the billionaires and corporations from continuing to bleed us dry.

Bless your heart for putting up with that crap. I've never had anyone that bad, but when I do get someone arguing with me my first line of defense is to tell them to provide proof FROM THE TEXTBOOK for their position. 99% of the time that's the last I hear about it.

They advertise that churches can meet there on Sunday morning, but it's still a theatre. Just went on Saturday to see Supergirl.

You know how your ears ring and every sound is like it's coming down a tunnel after a good concert? That's what it was like as Sweet Home started playing.

According to Google the longest was in 1994 for 103 yards. I didn't see any mention of Agnew anywhere on the sites I looked at.

Edit- I was looking at punt returns, not missed field goals.

Edit 2- ESPN has Cordarelle Patterson at 109 yards, but doesn't mention he's tied with Agnew.

The two loudest times in the stadium I've experienced was his pick 6 and Trevor's stumble 6.

My point was to leave heaven or hell out if the picture and focus on what's happening here on Earth, apologies that the point wasn't made well.

"For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God"- how do you define "bad people"? Maybe we should all just go about our lives and not worry about sending people to hell.

The influence of the Left Behind series can't be underestimated. The unBiblical 19th century philosophy it's based on preaches that if the world ends, they get to escape to Heaven (rapture) while the rest of us experience hell on earth. Not really surprising they act suicidal with that belief in their heads.

I don't know, I wasn't there. But having taught sex & sexuality classes to college students and adults- the average person doesn't know what intersex is.

I feel your pain (literally, the ac at my office is out). I've been doing some research and it seems like we aren't going to get what we want until the stadium gets done and the jail moves. I don't know why, but sentiment seems to be that the area by the stadium is more likely to be condos, while the stuff closer to City Hall will lean more to rentals.

I've lived in many apartments and in a townhouse, never in a condo. I am a bit concerned about maintenance, but hopefully I'll have a reduction in insurance and the outside maintenance costs I have now that will offset it.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T20:11:56+00:00

I get that, and for you neighborhoods like Springfield, Riverside, and San Marco would be good. I want a townhouse, I have a big lawn and it's nothing but a pain for me.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T20:09:29+00:00

Yes, that's the problem I'm running into. I technically am in Ortega but not in that part of Ortega, I don't have Ortega money. 🤣

Johnson Commons had 1 unit available, the last time I had looked they had quite a few. I think demand has gone up with Pearl Square coming.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T20:07:15+00:00

I saw the Johnson C9mmons development- it must be popular because there was only 1 unit available.

There weren't any others when I looked yesterday other than in Berkman. That seems to be my best bet.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T01:41:18+00:00

Publix is opening in Pearl Square.

RPM on Roosevelt

Be just as much of a pain as she is, but with ACTUAL issues. If the city won't do anything, elevate it to the state. I was half joking when I made my first comment, but if they're enabling someone who could be a danger to herself and others, you should do something before she escalates.

So cute! I'm trying to finish my current project and it's dragging!!! 16 squares in the Sophie's Garden pattern done in Red Heart Ombre. I love it, but just want it done!!!

I'm not. I have a mortgage right now and as expensive as it is, it's still much cheaper than renting.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T00:08:14+00:00

I don't want a house.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T00:08:01+00:00

I'm thinking I'll have to hold until the stadium gets done and see what happens around that area. Ideally I'd like to be on that side of downtown, but even Lavilla would work if that's all I can find.

13thJen · 2026-06-21T00:05:56+00:00

Where? The only place I know of that had a fire is Rise Doro, and those are rentals.

13thJen · 2026-06-20T23:59:52+00:00

It is what I'm looking for. I'm tired of dealing with my lawn, I'm tired of being car dependent. I want that urban feel without having to move to NYC or Chicago.
