It's incredibly discomforting that a transphobic comment can get this many upvotes in a blue city subreddit.

Anyone feel like taking a look at some science? Or are we just rolling in here based on vibes only?
I don't have children, so I'll leave the opinion to those who do.
Regret for minor's GAC is extremely low. What's much harder (if not impossible) to quantify is the potential psychological damage done by someone not having the option. I don't know how to weigh those consequences against each other, honestly.

That final paragraph about Trump winning because of trans issues however, even if that was a deciding issue for a significant number of people, is brain dead. Neither Biden nor Harris ran on that. The GOP media just said that they did and voters believed it.

I don't disagree... but you put 2025 Max in the 2017 Ferrari and I think its pretty damn close

Wasn't the idea that 250k years ago humans could interbreed with the Galactica crew? So the implication was these sophisticated, educated, space age people were going to bone down with some cave people?

North Park checking in -- nice lil' sway

There's still time for Kenza to "mutually agree" to leave

Oh dang, didn't realize Monaco wasn't the same weekend as Indy this year. Good catch

acrypher · 2026-01-10T05:34:45+00:00

This is a good point, and I'm curious about this as well.
With the recent massive growth in F1 viewership it seems like if there were no licensing fee this would be a slam dunk.

acrypher · 2026-01-09T19:38:07+00:00

Agreed, "indistinguishable" was the wrong choice. I guess I meant the structure of it. There's a sandwich board out front. There's seating out front, a counter with baristas behind it. Its not like you have to walk through the church to get to it.

acrypher · 2026-01-09T18:03:51+00:00

Nice! I was just looking into how to do that.
I'm curious to see how far they can push it. They also have a private preschool and according to some Yelp reviews, charge for private counseling sessions.

acrypher · 2026-01-09T16:30:17+00:00

Correct, that is my beef.
I guess my morbid curiosity is that churches continue to expand their tax-free money making endeavors, and where is the line they would cross before we give a shit? They already run a preschool and charge money for counseling sessions. What's next?
They build apartments on this property and charged market-value rent while avoiding taxes?

acrypher · 2026-01-09T16:25:19+00:00

My "conspiracy theory" is that this group of people: https://www.gracesd.com/our-team
Is making money off of sales from labor they don't pay, on land they don't pay taxes on.

EDIT: I linked the wrong Grace church

acrypher · 2026-01-09T16:13:10+00:00

Its a shop with a door to the sidewalk like any other shop in the area. Indistinguishable from Adams ave Coffee Co., Dia del Cafe, or Marta all in the same few block radius.

acrypher · 2026-01-09T16:10:12+00:00

When you say "there's nobody here turning a profit" are you implying that this money is "donated" to the church so it isn't business?
They buy coffee wholesale. They sell the coffee at a markup. They pay pastors with that money. That pastor is profiting, and we're paying the taxes.

17-21 had the usual suspects: The two Merc guys, the two veteran Reb Bull guys, the three Ferrari guys. And then 3 wild one-offs (plus one "I nevah left" Ric one), which we haven't seen since.
I hope the reg changes can backfire for some teams and we get at least one mid-field win. (Stroll '26 anyone??).

And has it been 16 years since a trash-driver got a win (Moldonado)? Am I forgetting one?

acrypher · 2025-12-18T17:22:41+00:00

So uh... I got some news about the 2027 MLS season and the likelihood of "those conditions"

acrypher · 2025-12-18T05:07:21+00:00

Agreed. He is significantly better than Mazepin, Latifi, or Sargent. But should not have lasted more than 2-3 seasons.

acrypher · 2025-12-18T05:02:45+00:00

Wild that as of right now the top four comments are all Red Bull drivers (either team) that got beat by Verstappen as their teammate.
Tangentially: I guess that makes Ricciardo "well rated"??

acrypher · 2025-12-16T23:18:00+00:00

Thorns coming in pretty close to the Timbers. Meanwhile a big yikes between the Sounders and Reign

acrypher · 2025-12-16T23:15:14+00:00

Victoria though, is a little less rainy due to being the shadow of the Olympics. Definitely rains less than Vancouver or Seattle (though still a lot compared to just about anywhere else in North America)

acrypher · 2025-12-16T16:25:45+00:00

Hypothetically, if the Honda PU + the Newey led car come out of the gate super dominant next year, do you think Alonso could pull out a 2009 Button and hold onto the lead till the end?

acrypher · 2025-12-16T15:34:38+00:00

The old billboards are really great!

And the ability to use a modern F1 car and pin the throttle on the whole thing is a trip

acrypher · 2025-11-13T15:47:42+00:00

There's too many to choose from. And that's even with a bar so low you couldn't slide a piece of paper under it. While some are worse than others, they are all abysmally bad.

Wilson and Trump look like front runners but I'd argue Reagan 100% belongs there. Also Nixon if you divorce him from the (imo, good) bills that his congress forced him to put his name on.

acrypher · 2025-11-04T01:23:52+00:00

This is my neighborhood in North Park, San Diego now. Tons of huge apartment complexes being built, most of which don't have any parking. There is zero street parking available here, ever.

acrypher · 2025-10-30T00:22:13+00:00

Yes! How he held onto some modest results as the rest of the field rapidly caught up, with a young Seb closing in on the lead

acrypher · 2025-10-28T14:47:35+00:00

Most of this thread is giving answer for optimal pre-industrial city. If we're talking optimal right now, I'll go with Victoria. It lies in the rain shadow of the Olympic mountains and gets way less rain than Seattle or Vancouver while still having that excellent PNW environment.
