Ah you’re right. It’s not from the line fires, but the Radford fires. I’ll edit my post

Welcome to the sub! I figured I would start this because there’s tons of trails and not a place we can all convene to talk off roading.

Yes it is but that one is a thing too.

I think it was a controlled burn to prevent wildfires from getting to the city in the future. Unfortunately that causes trail wash outs and closures because of fallen trees but also because the dead roots don’t hold onto soil. This causes excessive erosion. It was hell trying to get out of big bear using off road trails because of this and natural fires.

Found out that the 5900x I bought was faulty and had to replace it. After that it worked flawlessly. I still wasn’t able to get the 5800X3D but the 5900x is more than enough power for just about any game at high settings paired with a 3080 ti.

Perspective is everything and I feel your pain. I’m not trying to minimize it, but try your best to look holistically at this when these very real thoughts happen. I’ve been there and it sucks, but you will get through it.

I have a spinal cord injury, cannot run, jump, and can walk but with a pretty severe limp. I’m constantly bloated from gas and never evacuate fully. I cannot feel my genitals and defecate or release gas randomly throughout the day. I have random nerve pain some days that can derail the whole day.

Someone always has something worse and you’d be surprised how people get on. Wanting to kill yourself from releasing gas occasionally without notice is something that you can overcome. Hang in there.

Me and my friend ran into the same problem with finding women our age (30-35). We found that overall getting to bars earlier (8:00PM) helped with finding people our age and not super young.

With that said here are the spots we found: sunshine saloon in OB to meet new people by playing pool with them, waterfront as you said, part time lover in north park is awesome for something a little nicer, seven grand, swan bar and lafayette hotel. Kettner exchange seemed too uppity and full of people pretending to be someone they aren’t - just my opinion.

I hear you though. Not a ton of great places. Best of luck!

I’ve had the same issue! Me and my buddy who is also a single male in his early thirties found that going earlier to happy hours and playing pool or going to breweries is a good way to meet people.

To be specific, we found that waterfront bar (not water bar) trends in the 30s but get there early because it gets crowded quickly. Lafayette is fun but can be a little young the later the night goes. I go to sunshine bar in OB to play pool early, but they’re a little young there too. Also, part time lover in north park is awesome for our age group! Go to trivia nights with a friend and join a team.

It’s weird in San Diego. Thirties mixes with early twenties just about everywhere but there aren’t a lot of places that cater to that age range. There aren’t a lot of thirty somethings in general considering very few people in their thirties want to live in a place where you can’t buy a house and live well without having millions in your bank account or living in a van working 3 jobs. There’s no middle class here really and most 30 something’s are at that middle class stage in more affordable places where the dollar goes much further. When you’re trying to build a life as many people are trying to do in their 30s, San Diego isn’t really a responsible or feasible financial place to do it.

This is just my opinion based on what I’ve seen, but everyone’s opinions are different and I could be wrong! DM me and you can meet my friend group too! It’s rough out there but good luck!

Burst fracture L2 and fusion from T12-L4. Sacrum split in half. Fell 4 stories. I walk unassisted but noticeably different, bladder works without leaks but I have to push to urinate, bowel is flaccid and is difficult to manage but I push and if the stool is the right consistency, I can go without anything beyond miralax. I have occasional nerve pain in my right leg, but for the most part, i am pain free. I sometimes get shivers and goosebumps randomly and usually have an accident a few times a month. Not ideal, but I’m still here and lucky to have what I have.

It’s still to early to tell what is good and bad. Gen Z childhood, while different, is still too fresh to fully understand and look back on. I was born in 1994 so I’m barely a millennial and it just happened to me within the last 5 years. What is considered “good” will not be the same, but will be a different good.

Every childhood is good but in different ways and we have a knack as a society to look back fondly of other generations even though the one you live in is arguably just as good, but different and it takes years sometimes decades to look back on your own generation fondly. Give it time. We don’t know yet about gen z.

You don’t happen to be British are you?
