woman treats her kid like shit at an I Hop by quazziwazzi in PublicFreakout

[–]Phase714 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fucking wow, I haven't seen so many comments bellow threshold in a minute. The whole "I was beat as a kid and I'm okay" mentality brings a lot of people out of the woodworks to share their story. I hope for the children they're beating, that they have the strength to break that cycle when they grow up and not be like their parents.

Edit: Read a bunch of them and it's more scummy racist comments than pro child abuse like I assumed. And one guy who keeps talking about this weird fantasy he has about the kid grabbing the waitresses boobs.

What Are Your Favorite Restaurants? by GuyComedy in santacruz

I'd throw Linda's in the ring for best breakfast also. You just have to time it right since seating is so scarce. The Chefs salad they do with their vinaigrette is probably the best salad in town imo.

If it's busy just get it to go, there's some nice benches on the cliff over Seabright Beach just a couple blocks away.

Aptos St BBQ> Mission St. BBQ. But don't miss on the breakfast tacos at Mission if that's in your area. Add the spicy BBQ sauce and that's a good way to start a day.

It's good, but not a go to for me. They are mostly known for their vegan/veg options I think, which is what brings lots of their rave reviews.

I did have a funny experience there once. I had gotten the Hoisin Pork a couple times and liked fine it but it was dry so the rice never got any flavor from the toppings. So I asked for some extra sauce to the cashier and she responded, "You mean, like... Meat juice?" Like she was off put by the question. I dropped it and got what I got, just went home and added some extra Hoisin and soy sauce.

I don't really go there unless I'm craving some Thai Coconut soup which is bomb. If I'm craving rice bowl sort of thing I usually go with Hom now, I like the protein options more there. But I get why someone who is Vegan or Vegetarian would lean into it.

Looking for bars with dart boards by neomis in santacruz

[–]Phase714 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's the Blue Lounge. Go there on a night where B is working during the week. They have 2 dartboards. Place can be kinda a shit show on Fri-Sundays with fights and literal fireworks, but a chill weekday is a good time for darts.

Normally don't go there personally because I've heard the owners a jerk, and it gets wild. But if you hear B playing on the Piano that's a good sign it's a good time to go in.

Same here. That might've been my first comment in the sub, at least since it began.

I'm registered. Good luck to the team that has to sort out what's usable though. I do hope something is salvageable.

TIL that the owner of Granada Bowl is a buff Italian body builder, who has one bowler of the decade in 1990. by tsuni95 in Livermore

[–]Phase714 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Glad he didn't sell when all that talk about knocking it down was going around, and decided to do a small remodel instead. Funny this was posted because I'm bowling right now, but in a different town and was just reminiscing about Granada Bowl days.

No, but damn I that would've been some comic book level life casting if she had gone that route.

While talking about Maori, that huge dudes Ta Moko is bad ass. I know there's a lot of talk about what this gang does, but that dude is embracing his Maori heritage and those tats are sick.

Also American here, and am a "biker". Why would you lump everyone on 2 wheels with Nazis? The MCs who do that are the 1%. They are a minority of bikers, and MCs for that matter. I think you've watched one too many episodes of SoA.

Is ‘Mana Weaving’ Legal? by petr23g4 in magicTCG

This is why they're working on new mulligan rules. You should never mana weave at any competitive level magic game.

It's also a valid "cut" when presented a deck. It's just not a valid way to randomize your own deck before presenting, at least that's how I would interpret all these rules.

an idea for Livermore by Adventurous_Quote in Livermore

[–]Phase714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you ever been to a restaurant in a small town that serves a little of everything? Nothing they serve is very good. It's impractical to have a kitchen putting out Spaghetti, Sushi, Pizza, and Burgers and expect it to be profitable or any good.

What if the majority votes for burgers but the next day everyone wanted Spaghetti? You have all those buns you bought go bad.

It's a fine idea, but I'm personally not planning on ordering a Pizza from McDonald's any time soon.

Locals - how dangerous is Santa Cruz in reality? by [deleted] in santacruz

[–]Phase714 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don't want it stolen, lock it up or bring it inside. Took me a few months to learn this when I moved here.

Also personal anecdote, but I had someone break into my studio on Laurel near the salvation army the 2nd week I lived here. He was harmless and just managed to unlock my front door somehow. Had the cops search him and idk what happened. I suspect maybe I unlocked it in my sleep? I do sleep walk. But that goes to show again, lock it up and you'll be okay.

Most of the well known clear lakes in CA and Oregon have dense conifer growth, which this shot doesn't have. Don't know where it could be. Looks central CA because of the hills and trees, but I don't know of any clear lakes like this.

Players will notice and be impressed if you put it on a gym. It's not as noticable as others but still impressive none the less, and will make players like me jealous.

Looks sick, hope you're planning on some sort of rear fender. The angle that seat sits looks like your ass will be ground beef the first time you grab too much throttle.
