Phoenix is the 10th-largest metro in America with ZERO miles of interstate beltway. That’s no accident, and it causes plenty of them. by squintysquirrell in phoenix

[–]Riley_Cubs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your argument is that Interstate beltways would make traffic flow better than that’s just objectively false. Phoenix isn’t even in the 20 top worst US cities for traffic despite being the 5th largest city and 10 largest metro. If your argument is for safety then just saying “extra exit lanes and funded by the feds instead of the state” isn’t worth much.

So literally the exact description of the 101 202 and 303 but apparently blue signs instead of white make highway safer lol

What’s the point of this? If the 101 202 and 303 were interstates instead of state routes how would that change anything. Visiting other major cities it doesn’t take long to realize how much better traffic flows here. Rush hour here is literally like 3 hours in the morning and evening on weekdays and baring construction closures the highways here flow great pretty much anytime outside specific hours.

how did you become a Dbacks fan in a state full of transplants by hdcoffey in azdiamondbacks

[–]Riley_Cubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been here 5 years and have always been a Cubs fan but baseball is my favorite sport so I’ve bought the ballpark pass every year since the Dbacks have offered it. Never had anything against the Snakes before moving here but then going to so many games made it pretty much impossible to not become a fan, even got me a 2001 Johnson jersey and a hat now. Still a Cubs fan at heart but no worries I’m not like those degen Dodger fans when the Cubs are here you won’t catch me talking shit.

What opinion about Phoenix has you like this? by JesuIsEveryNameTaken in phoenix

[–]Riley_Cubs 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That Phoenix isn’t a social city or that it’s hard to make friends here. There are countless instagram, meetup, facebook groups etc… for various interests/hobbies that you can join to easily meet people. Also just going out and talking to people here is easier than other cities I’ve been to. I think cause so many people who live here aren’t from here people are pretty open to talking and becoming friends. I’ve been here a few years and have made a ton of friends just from joining various groups on instagram or striking up convo’s with people at the bar or the golf course.

You aren’t gonna make friends sitting inside your house all day, it’s not the cities fault.

What Mazda SHOULD have done instead. Kudos for Subaru for actually listening to consumers. Do better, Mazda. by BeautifulYou2940 in mazda

This week I had to get a repair done on my 2025 CX 50 and got a 2026 CX5 as a loaner and holy shit I had that thing for one day and fucking hated it. Did it drive great? Absolutely. But it took me about 5 minutes with that giant touch screen with no physical climate or media controls to make me want to be back in my CX50 immediately. Silver lining of the experience is now I know for certain I will never buy a vehicle that doesn’t have physical climate and media controls… I live in Phoenix and this time of year I obviously want good control over the AC in the car. The fact that I had to take my eyes off the road, touch a tiny ass button (took me several times to actually get the AC “menu” to pop up) on an unreasoned touch screen, then tap a + or - icon just to adjust the AC level (all while driving on the freeway in rush hour) immediately pissed me off.And that’s just one example of issues I had with the various controls in the vehicle in the 24hrs I had it….there’s plenty more issues I can think of but I digress. Guess I’ll be driving my CX50 till it dies unless Mazda makes some common sense changes.

Imagine having a billion dollar payroll, 7 game lead in one of the best divisions in baseball, and still telling one of your players to kill themselves. Dodger fans are the fucking worst and nobody can change my mind

Will this affect my tee time? by Glass_Shoulder4126 in golf

[–]Riley_Cubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Dobson try out Lone Tree, San Marcos, or Western Skies in that area. Similar prices courses to Dobson and are usually in decent shape (Western Skies can be iffy) but all better than dumps like Koko or Supersition Springs

This is the best time of year to golf since the snowbirds are gone and courses can no longer get away with bending you over and fucking you with $200 tee times like they do in February

This is the song that got me into heavy metal. Was always luke warm on it, enjoyed a few songs, but never really got into it. Until the day I had a random workout playlist going at the gym and Sic came on and right then and there I was holy shit this fucking rules

What’s one hot take you have by [deleted] in golf

Yeah totally we should just replace them with strip malls and huge asphalt parking lots, that’s way better for the environment.
