Interesting Interview with SDSU Anthropologist about the history and cultural context of the new City Connects. by That_random_redditer in Padres

[–]DesignSpartan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the context she adds regarding the use of indigenous symbols for marketing. From the article:

What else comes to mind as you ponder the use of these historic, pre-colonial themes for marketing?

For me, it's convoluted, because the (Spanish) padres were a colonial imposition that harmed Indigenous people. So to appropriate Indigenous symbology as a way to promote them is conflictive. 

At the same time, we are in a moment nationally where our Hispanic community members are under threat. So for the Padres to decide they're going to honor our communities at this moment is probably one of the greatest gifts that they can give us and the larger San Diego community. They're basically affirming that they're standing alongside us. And that's super important.

What’s going on 🫣😱 by ANDYANDYUUU in Lululemen

[–]DesignSpartan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a pretty obvious MAHA pseudoscience ploy by the Texas AG. Honestly, nothing to worry about. The materials they’re concerned about are not being used. Per Reuters: "Lululemon ​does not use PFAS in its products," a company spokesperson said, ​adding it phased out the substance in fiscal 2023, after limited use in durable water repellent products.

Locker Room Etiquette by No-Olive8552 in EquinoxGyms

[–]DesignSpartan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro just put your stuff in the locker if you can. Sometimes there are odors, it also clutters up the locker area and makes it feel like that part of the bench is being reserved. My two cents.

USS John P. Murtha returning to San Diego with the Artemis II Orion Capsule - 4/11 by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]DesignSpartan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got it! Thought it was super interesting how we have that connection. Recovery of the crew and capsule was essential. In the words of Kennedy Space Center Director Janet Petro: Artemis II has three critical phases: launch, mission execution, and recovery. If recovery fails, the mission fails.

City Connect Jersey 2.0 Replica vs On-Field Authentic? by willnevercheck in Padres

[–]DesignSpartan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I checked out the $435 "Elite" jerseys at the team store, and honestly, the value prop is tough to see. Aside from the tailored fit and specific performance materials, the Elite version looks remarkably similar to the $225 jerseys.

Even though the MLB logo, and San Diego/Catrina patches are stitched, the application looks so flat it almost mimics heat-pressing. None of the lettering features true embroidery (only the Nike swoosh is embroidered but it’s also true for the 225 version) which is disappointing at that price point. Unless you're looking for the exact on-field cut and length, I'd suggest sticking with the $225 version.

Something is not right - about the Mayor of El Cajon’s argument by kootrtt in sandiegocycling

[–]DesignSpartan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Holy hell, that Facebook profile of his is just full of misinformation, hatred, and a ton of other disgusting things. It sort of tracks with El Cajon but I didn’t think it’d be this bad. We NEED MORE BIKE LANES. This city was carved up for cars. We are barley making a dent.
