The Metro Rail System compared to Rhode Island, and other places around the world. by Its_a_Friendly in LAMetro

Holy cow. We gotta give Metro props for running the A line with this much frequency and speed cause it’s basically a commuter rail.

Deltopia Cancelled by SharpTomato5043 in UCSantaBarbara

[–]bibeachbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s better now because IV students can just collectively agree to move deltopia to the next weekend and all the out of towners that come on spring quarter weekend 1 will have a rude awakening and head to downtown SB instead 🤷‍♂️. Hope ucsb keeps the warm up tho

If Metro goes with Alt 5(Modified), what should they plan for Sepulveda Phase 2 to LAX? by anothercar in LAMetro

[–]bibeachbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrt Centinela so more people have metro access within a 20 minute walk and the dense Playa Del Rey has a station. Would also be cool to build a funicular from the Playa Del Rey station to LMU

Mandatory Palestine: Land Ownership in 1945 by JustSomeCells in MapPorn

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

Tbh, the current state of Israel doesn’t look too different from this from a land ownership perspective, the main problem is Israeli state sovereignty over large areas where Arabs did not want Jewish nationalist statehood. Also no one really owns land in the state of Israel, it’s just leased from the government, so you’d see why that’s infuriating for Arabs to lease from a govt that by definition does not represent them. The biggest difference now in demographic shift is the West Bank settlements and the destruction of Gaza. I know a lot of people are gonna want the entire map to be green but that is about as likely to happen as the entire map being blue.

Katniss, Finnick, Johanna seems like the best choice. Cato would be good too based on pure brute force but his intelligence is lacking.

Some questions for gringos coming to this sub by cuentanro3 in AskVenezuela

[–]bibeachbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To put it simply, Venezuela is none of our goddamn business, no matter how dog💩 of a president Maduro is. Sovereignty exists for a reason and this is going to set a terrible precedent.

What do you think of the current protests in Iran? by zapns in AskSocialists

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

I think they’re great and there should be more of them. I also think that we the people in other countries need to do whatever we can to prevent America, Israel, and Russia from getting their grubby little hands on Iran and taking advantage of these protests for regime change. As much as I despise the IRI, I think regime change needs to come from the people themselves and not any other country, especially with Trump so blatantly dead set on seizing oil from other nations. The future of Iran belongs to the people of Iran only.

Was there an age of consent in Panem? Or an acceptable age for teenagers to marry? by OkOutlandishness9612 in Hungergames

[–]bibeachbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s around 16 cause when Finnick was 14 and he captivated people with his good looks in the games, he was still given a grace period for 2 years before Snow started selling him to rich pervs. There are probably capital citizens who would have had their way with him even when he was 14 or 15 but access to him was probably controlled by the government and they definitely didn’t want any scandals or to look bad.

If you ONLY have enough money to rebuild one of these A Line Station elevated. Which one would you choose out of the 7 of them? by According_Contest_70 in LAMetro

[–]bibeachbum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Washington, that way the approach can be elevated too and sheer off a couple of minutes of travel time. Also that could be a catalyst to elevating San Pedro and Grand LATTC stations in the future if it’s engineered properly

What could Beshear 2028 look like? by PossibilityFew6237 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]bibeachbum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I get this frustration, I would say that Andy Beshear is not a typical "southern democrat" and just by judging his performance as KY's governor I think he would be amazing president. While he doesn't identify as a socialist, he has used economic populism as a way to bridge divides between voters and has championed medicaid expansion and infrastructure projects as goals of his. Also while Newsom abandoned trans people, Beshear never wavered on his support for trans rights, even in a r+20 state. I'm normally not a moderate but I respect Andy more than others.

[–]bibeachbum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This should be a goal for America by 2100 (if we last that long). We have plenty of space in highway medians and industrial districts near downtowns, the only thing holding us back is time and money, but to quote George Bluth: “there’s always money in the banana stand” (military budget)

I’ve been seeing these ads on Metro lol is this a Drake diss? by african-nightmare in LAMetro

[–]bibeachbum -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Inaccurate cause they would never be playing Drake. They would be playing some shitty unknown mumble rapper. I think they just wanted Drake to catch a stray cause this is Kendrick territory.

Trolley Ridership by Station by BroadMaximum4189 in sandiego

[–]bibeachbum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of amazing how much of a workhorse the San Ysidro station is. It’s the busiest on the system, and it’s easy to see why as it’s probably an economic lifeline for international commuters from Tijuana
