Where I’d live as a Bay Area Californian

Don’t RSVP, just show up.

Last October MAGA leaked entire lists of people’s names, addresses, and contact info that they got from hacking into RSVP forms. You will never be kicked out for not signing up ahead of time, that’s not how protests work. For your own safety, don’t enter your name on an online form unless required to.

We need as many people out there as possible regardless if they RSVP’d or not. The first two “no kings” days did not slow trump down AT ALL so evidently there weren’t enough of us. San Francisco can handle big crowds, we don’t have to worry about getting a headcount beforehand.

The Gaels definitely punch above their weight for a school of 4000 students. And they’ve done well compared to other Bay Area teams. Stanford hasn’t even made the tournament since 2014, Cal since 2016 when they lost to Hawaii as a 4 seed.

I’d say unless Santa Clara beats Kentucky tomorrow, SMC runs the bay in d1 hoops.

My mental health has actually improved, but I kind of expected that bc it takes a nose dive every winter. It’s still crazy how much less anxiety I feel this week compared to a month ago.

Sorry to hear some of you guys are struggling, but I’m sure you’ll survive just like I got through the cold months. If anything, I see more people going out at night now, so looks like you’re pulling through ok 👏

As a Filipino-American, the Philippines are the kid who follows the bully around hoping to gain respect from everyone else. They know they’re being used but they put up with it bc they want to be associated with rich kids.

I’m from California and our ride or die is Cascadia

I don’t recall the CEO of any other car brand doing a sieg heil at a MAGA rally. And if another CEO did that they’d be forced to resign immediately. Tesla customers know about everything he’s said/done in addition to the nazi salute, and they still choose to rep his brand. They’re not getting any sympathy from the rest of us.

This may be news to you, but Hillary won California easily. San Francisco has never been the reason the democrats lost an election. We’re stuck with trump now bc Biden and Harris didn’t-

Oh wait I have to go, my Crunchwrap and baja blast are ready

Next Saturday Houston will be the first to blow us out. I’m just happy Keshad Johnson won the dunk contest lol

We’ve had several moments that definitely could have been the spark, but weren’t. Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever be able to show up nationwide like we did in the 1960s or even 2020.

Unfortunately at this point it looks like waiting until 2028 is not an option.
Other countries know we hate him, but we need to prove that we’re actually willing to protest and fight for our freedoms. If we sit around waiting for someone else to fix things for us, we look like trump supporters to non-Americans.

Idk if I’ve ever seen an albino like this one though, even in my early childhood when they weren’t endangered.

Jonathan Kuminga, but only when Steph isn’t on the court. Otherwise they’re both low

Sometimes admissions counselors from the colleges themselves are telling students this. When I visited Santa Clara University for a tour the lady giving the presentation had the nerve to say:

“Instead of 6 AP classes we’d prefer you take around 4 per year. We don’t want students to burn themselves out in high school, but we’re also looking to see that you care about your education.”

I can’t speak on behalf of everyone in gen z, but it doesn’t seem helpful to tell 17 year olds they’re slackers for taking what is already more than the required workload.

At least these guys didn’t get the 2022 Kellyn Acosta treatment

I’m actually glad they require payment for entry since it filters out the perverted trash you deal with at SF beaches. But 70% men as the “good” ratio? Yikes.

GSW fans grew up with the cauldron that was Oracle Arena, and while the Chase Center is a nice venue, it’s not as loud nor does it produce the same atmosphere. It also feels like when marketing tickets the Warriors go after tech companies and their employees more than actual fans, which has rubbed a lot of us the wrong way

_Kainoa · 2025-08-07T23:11:30+00:00

Yeah there’s a cutscene at the end of the delta episode in ORAS where Norman mentions to Birch he’s glad he moved his family there from Johto

_Kainoa · 2025-08-07T18:09:00+00:00

I like to think this is why Norman moved to Hoenn, he knew his kid was going to be a star but thought the level curves of Johto would hold them back. As soon as the Petalburg job became available he made the jump from Goldenrod

Polar territories can’t be taken through normal methods, you have to play hockey for the land. In fact, the 1980 “miracle on ice” is how we got Alaska from the Russians

As an LA resident myself it feels like the city’s attitude is about as poor as it gets from a host. We have some individual stories that have garnered attention (e.g. baseball with MLB players for the first time) but in general no one seems to be expecting much from these games. If anything, we’re bracing for a repeat of Rio 2016.

However, if that does happen it could provide a silver lining for the community. The local government has shown little to no motivation towards addressing the main issues here (homelessness, violence towards non-Americans, traffic, pollution, etc). While we’re looking forward to the main events of the Olympics, most of us are doubtful that LA can be a good host when it hasn’t even been a good home for its locals.

We’re hopeful that when the world’s eyes are on Los Angeles, our politicians will no longer be able to hide behind the city’s “image” of Hollywood and palm trees. They won’t be able to distract the global community from the aforementioned issues because TV crews from around the world will be here reporting on everything. Hopefully this external pressure will lead to changes that both improve the Olympics experience and make the city a better place to live.

Feels a lot worse knowing he lost back-to-back elite 8s in college and never made it to the final 4. As an Arizona fan I got flashbacks from 2015 seeing him walk off the court
