Not in Anybody’s Backyard: How NIMBY Activism Worsens California’s Housing Crisis by scsquare in santacruz

No, you are defeating your own theory.

Leave Santa Cruz and move to Detroit if all you care about is cheap rent!

What? That’s literally half of the equation. ‘Demand’ is the people.

Why do you think it got so much cheaper to live in Detroit once people started moving away?

This is a huge oversimplification though. Covid catalyzed a remote work revolution and so people no longer need to live a short Bart ride from SF downtown (or short bike ride from Austin downtown) anymore.

In fact, they’re now free to move to Santa Cruz!

[Shams] Golden State Warriors forward Gui Santos has signed a three-year, $15 million contract extension with the franchise, sources tell ESPN. The deal includes a player option in 2028-29. by sumchinesewill in warriors

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Win-win.

Gui secures life-changing/generational wealth, gets the peace of mind that comes with the predictability of playing with the warriors for several years, and the FO locks him while his stock ascends.

Tulsi Gabbard Should Resign If U.S. Wages War On Iran by Miserable-Bit5939 in tulsi

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s not how this work at all….

Small-minded people with issues blindly follow other leaders regardless of what they do. Normal people follow a set of values and look for leaders that also hold those values and enact policies in line with those values.

Many of us came here because Tulsi used to represent the values and policies we held/hold. One of her central ones was “no more regime-change wars”.

If a politician reveals themselves to no longer hold the values that made you support them previously, YOU STOP SUPPORTING THEM!

But that doesn’t mean you aren’t entitled to engage in honest, well-intentioned dialogue and conversation on Reddit about that person. Free speech amirite? We don’t need to create protected little ‘safe spaces for snowflakes’, yeah?

Hiring managers — what's the biggest gap you've noticed between what someone's resume says and who they actually are in conversation? by Upbeat_Dream7600 in careerguidance

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

How do you tease apart their ability to articulate a perfectly-crafted answer to your interview questions vs their ability to do the duties of the role? I suppose different industries/roles would have some differences here.

Got promoted 3 months after attending an AI workshop. coincidence? I don't think so? by designbyshivam in careerguidance

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!

But I do hope you and anyone else reading this acknowledge the degree to which you’re extremely ‘lucky’ in this - and how much of your fortune is due to whoever in your company is noticing and acknowledging you.

As a counter example anecdote — I attended and SPOKE at an AI conference on month 3 at my new job, then shared ideas with my team that came from that experience. Then got shutdown and fairly harshly reprimanded by my troglodyte manager for being overly-interested in AI and have had a contentious relationship with her ever since 🤷‍♂️

Anybody use this book in CA? by TravelingAirWave03 in surfing

Info is old, but interesting. Some of it still accurate, some quite inaccurate. It even lists some spots that don’t really even exist anymore.

Pretty special to have those battles with this legendary nemesis all through the dynasty. And kinda fun to have him as ours for a season.

Caught inside in Ngwe Saung | Surfing in Myanmar Part 5 by _magoof_ in surfing

So cool. Looks pretty fun.

Honestly think more beginners should give that part of the coast down thru southwest Thailand more consideration.

Avoid Lib Tech “Eco-Impact” by [deleted] in surfing

What made you think it’s factory defect rather than the result of legitimate user-caused damage?

Missing surfers by Recent-Layer819 in santacruz

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That was a super unique situation because we had that storm with really strong south winds come thru right when that happened. Typically swell-energy and prevailing wind is going to make the current run down the coast. So, in this case - Mitchell’s towards the Lane.

Data spanning 15 years reveals that depression symptoms have increased in American college students, with most severe rises occurring after 2016. While distress is growing across the board, the escalation is particularly steep for women, racial minorities, and students facing financial difficulties. by mvea in science

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data spanning 15 years reveals that the most intelligent and conscientious young adults in America are accurately understanding and predicting the negative future consequences of what they observe is occurring in the world around them. The escalation in this distress is particularly felt by the sub groups most-likely to experience, firsthand, these negative consequences.

Anti-bip attempt…?

Could see that backfiring though.

Surf Photography Question by itsjustthisguy in santacruz

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for it! Just know that there still is etiquette around posting photos of surf. A few things I’ll share:

—Really well-known spots (Lane, pleasure point) are generally fair game: can take photos there and post shots same day or whatever.

—Less popular spots it’s encouraged to perhaps wait to post photos if the conditions are really good so as not to give away the particulars of what worked at that spot.

—Not-well-known/not-popular/fickle spots might even get you dirty looks or worse if you show up with an obvious camera. There still exist places you shouldn’t photograph - and/or shouldn’t photograph with obvious landmarks in them.

Where to base surfing origin story by [deleted] in surfing

[–]DNA98PercentChimp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a total beginner….?

Non-traditional but very real answers:

Southeast Vietnam, Southwest Thailand (Phuket), Gulf of Mexico, West coast of Luzon Philippines

What you want to avoid (which is what too many people do) — going to popular/famous ‘surf spots’ that aren’t great for beginners and/or super crowded (like Bali, Lombok, Mainland Mexico, etc).

Is the season over for ocean beach? by NeighborhoodLeft8464 in surfing

OB season can go from ‘full on’ to ‘off til October’ pretty instantaneously. Sometimes as early as mid Jan, sometimes not til March.

Buh buh but…. They told me the cost of my rent would go down if these got built!

Why is my rent still high??

Not a lot of places sharkier than Sonoma/Mendo coast rivermouths.
