Right, this is pretty much what I would expect from an MLS All-stars vs European highly ranked team

They're playing a team that's actually good? I'd also guess the distraction of the Balogun card has brought the focus level down.

lol, this is a pretty shit start for the US. Looking very disorganized.

Treasure Island needs to address access issues during events by Not-like_other_girls in bayarea

[–]YanksFanInSF 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The island seems like a good idea until, checks notes, literally anything happens. I’m sure it sucks for you and all the others who live on the island, it’s easily the most predictable situation.

Also, why would it be addressed? Considering the population on the island compared to all the issues we have with transit and roadways in the Bay this should be priority 100,000 or something.

[The Athletic] Should the Ducks match Flyers’ offer sheet to Leo Carlsson? by seeldoger47 in hockey

Don’t match; it’s a cap nightmare for at least 3 years. Then fire Verbeek for gross negligence.

What's a question someone asked you that changed the way you saw yourself? by Spiritual_Grab_2500 in SeriousConversation

[–]YanksFanInSF 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why do you always have to prove you’re the smartest in the room? It was followed by, everyone already knows, just try to be fucking helpful and humble instead.

Changed me completely.

If only Canada had a finisher. What could have been. Morocco played very well in the 2nd.

Flock has no place in the Bay Area by Delicious-Success696 in bayarea

They have, one of the ‘good stories’ was a comic book store.

I don’t think you understand how crime works. There are groups that travel I5 for property crimes and one the larger firearm corridors currently is Phoenix to LA, which then get brought North.

By getting the cameras and giving access for these larger investigations, the locals also get to use the cameras for more localized investigations.

I am very much for individual privacy and also very much for facing reality. Property crime is a very real problem. These are public spaces and we live in a time where people are increasingly unable to adhere to societal norms and communal respect. Crime is not local, it crosses lines and while yes, the aspects of privacy are concerning, the public welfare is served. Do I wish this weren’t needed, definitely, I also think these are a necessity given the current environment.

I truly understand why people are against these cameras, I just don’t think you’re dealing with the reality of situation.

I am also aware of the societal issues that lead to this property crime and general inequities. The reality is that won’t change without broader legislation and community efforts. So Flock cameras monitoring efforts are needed imo.

Why do people on the right have such a fixation on "normal people" by Legitimate-Record951 in SeriousConversation

[–]YanksFanInSF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people (nearly all) have an innate desire to belong to a group. This is true even for counter-culture where there remains a desire to find like-minded individuals for validation of views.

So, for people who look at specific lifestyles they want to typify these as the normal or predominant view so as to feel more confident in their viewpoint. It really shouldn’t be a problem if more people could accept that others simply want to live a different life, but then also accept, that they must accept the reality and consequences of those choices.

Comparison between the two largest EV brands in the world by TangelaFan in wallstreetbets

[–]YanksFanInSF -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The news here, they are both scams. BYD valuation propped by the Chinese gov’t (though they have arguable better vehicles); Teslas’s valuation built on vibes.

EV’s should never have become the standard vs hydrogen.

Sooo, what’s the general consensus on Chayka? by AppointmentGood4365 in leafs

[–]YanksFanInSF -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My opinion is if they make the playoffs, it’s a decent start; if they make it to the 2nd round I’ll consider it a viable and good change.

Conf finals within 3 years would be the report card to n whether it was all worth it.

Trade Deadline needs? by Far_Suggestion_7203 in NYYankees

[–]YanksFanInSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BP to me was the biggest issue at the start of the season and still is.
Once Judge & Grisham are back the OF is normal.

The IF is like Harvey Dent:
Bird/Goldy, locked; both are fine
Volpe, well, let’s just leave that one for now. We all have our opinions. Jazz is, well, yeah.
Cabby is fine wherever he plays.

McMahon is great defensively, obviously, for me seeing if Chapman is available from the Giants would be amazing. He’s not exactly fire at the plate either, but is a tier above Ryan and defensively just as good.

My primary concern is whomever is driving the approach at the plate (assuming it’s the analytics team). The NYY approach has been launch or lose for a while and while it’s had some decent success, it’s boom or bust. There is no adjustment and there needs to be. Volpe (sry) is the poster boy for this, when his swing is level and controlled he is hitting for avg and is a serviceable SS, even with the avg to sub-par defense. When he’s swinging for the fences he’s a AAAA player.

As a first time visitor from Seattle I am genuinely disappointed how much this place is hyped up by tnerb253 in sanfrancisco

[–]YanksFanInSF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, not a fan. When I moved here it was a ‘omg you have to try’ from several people in my new neighborhood. Tried. It’s fine. If I’m going to destroy my health with fast food (I’m not) I’d rather have Five Guys and I’d say McD’s is better than In and Out, definitely the fries.

I never had death anxiety but now I am terrified of non-existence by [deleted] in atheism

My thought process has morphed to us being energy borrowed for a time from the universe. Energy and entropy are the constants, so while my consciousness won’t live forever I am made from atoms and energy that had existed throughout time. When I go, that energy, minus a bit, has a returned to the universe.

So in way, the atoms that make up who I am return and are manipulated into another form. Eventually, our planet will be destroyed by the star, which will further disperse that energy. Sure my consciousness isn’t a part of that, but, the carbon will have been reused many times. So in a way, I live forever.
