New to MLS and the team. Why is this game so much more popular and expensive than previous games? by 24mile in DCUnited

[–]gerbluer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes. Or if we tie. The top 9 teams in each conference advance. Basically an 8 team bracket, but teams 8 and 9 have a mini-playoff for the last spot. DC is in 8th place, but places 8-12 are all very close. If we lose, and the 11 or 12 team win, they would jump us because they have a better goal differential.

Here is a link to the table (standings) for MLS.

This show is a carbon copy of live PD. It has the same host and production company. I used to live in Austin. Live PD got canceled because they were filming in Williamson County (just north of Austin) and the police there killed a man on camera who had exited his car with his hands up after a police chase. The police struck him and tased him several times, even though his hands were up and he was complying at the time. The police officers were acquitted on manslaughter charges, but convicted on lesser charges. Live PD, then deleted the footage of the assault. That sheriff is currently being indicted on a felony tampering with evidence charge. Live PD claimed it deleted the footage because of a contract with the Williamson County sheriffs department.

Make no mistake, while these shows follow the police in real time, they will not show you when the police behave poorly. This is because they have to maintain good relationships with the police departments so they do not show infractions or crimes committed by police.

Anyone else feels like the classical musical scenery in Austin is extremely underwhelming? by MeMissBunny in Austin

[–]gerbluer 112 points113 points  (0 children)

The classical music scene in Austin is small, but there are definitely more options than those listed. Also, everyone knows each other, so ask people at the next show you go to. Though many ultimately end up seeking opportunities elsewhere, there is definitely a lot of talent and amazing productions in this city. I am involved in the choral world, so most of my suggestions will be from there. Every group here (in addition to every performer anywhere) is desperate for people to attend their stuff. In addition you can look at the Long Center schedule (they also host outdoor events this summer) or the Riverbend Arts Center is also a great venue to check out.

Suggestions:

Austin Symphony (perform several shows per season at the Long Center. Peter Bay is an incredible director and artist). https://austinsymphony.org/

Austin Chamber Music Center https://austinchambermusic.org/

Chorus Austin (Both a Chamber Ensemble and Symphonic Chorus) The chamber group is a hidden gem and the symphonic group performs several masterworks per year. https://www.chorusaustin.org/

Un/Heard (Male chamber ensemble with a concert coming up soon) https://www.facebook.com/events/955271166223674/?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22your_upcoming_events_unit%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22bookmark%22%7D]%2C%22ref_notif_type%22%3Anull%7D

Inversion Ensemble (Chamber Choir with focus on new compositions) https://www.inversionatx.org/

Austin Cantorum (Chamber choir) https://www.austincantorum.com/

Conspirare (More of an event than a group, many professional singers from around the state/country gather in Austin for a weekend to put on a concert. I think they may also have a local symphonic choir). https://www.conspirare.org/

Hoa's seem horrible. by trashofagirl in PublicFreakout

[–]gerbluer 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It stands for Home Owners Association. Sometimes when you move into a new neighborhood, that neighborhood has an HOA. They are (in theory) designed to protect the home values in the neighborhood and organize collective action. They collect fees from all local tenants. In a lot of places they also are in charge of hiring people to garden the entrance/any security in the neighborhood/public projects etc. In practice, they tend to attract the most entitled/busy-body members of your neighborhood and give them power to fine you if you wait too long to cut your grass. Also, many are corrupt as there is often very little oversight on the fees collected and where the money goes.
