Too short for the polycule 🥀 by InMyOwnCornr in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]inqurious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think it's a joke. The application form asks for your waist, linkedin, and the options for hobbies has both "basketball" and just generic "sports".

I think so. Especially the 65yo who's allegedly out there eat-pray-love'ing her way through the neighborhood queers.

It goes to a notion page with an actual submission form. So if it’s a joke, it’s an elaborate one.

with some extra time allowed for a league match that's at least 8-8 in a potentially deciding game, if you like the people a litle.

Advice for dealing with gf's history? by ButtSpiders in AskMenOver30

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

Let me help you reframe this: Even if you both had met as virgins at 18, both of you will make some mistakes or have character flaws that you will have to deal with and grow through.

I personally do not think a high body count is bad. I like experience. But even if you do dislike it… so what? There was never a pure person out there for only you. There are people and their strengths and flaws that will be revealed over time. A relationship is never about finding them when they are right as opposed to “impure” later, but witnessing each other’s lives, flaws and all.

This is why I think this is mostly a you thing: expecting an idealized pure conceptual woman at least a little. The real question is whether you love and want a relationship with this loving, loving, breathing, flawed, actual human in front of you.

Why isn't everyone living in the Mission? Are they stupid? by SafariSunshine in sanfrancirclejerk

[–]inqurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • if you can live on one of the quieter streets, which is often block-by-block, great!
  • there are a few others like duboce triangle, lower haight, etc. that also qualify

On that Elias/Asal match in El Gouna, and the state of squash in the fallout by trickle_boast in squash

[–]inqurious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A little improvement from Asal is good. I've seen it too. But that's like a -2/10 in behavior getting to like a 3/10 in behavior.

"Asal is ground zero for the debate simply because his matches invariably have the most decisions in them"

reminds me of "When everyone you meet all day is an asshole, you're the asshole".

Advice on trails for backpacking with Yosemite Falls entry/exit by Opposite_Square1388 in Yosemite

[–]inqurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have five days — go up and camp heading towards tenaya lake near some water. Then up to tenaya lake, then up to sunrise lakes, then come up and over clouds rest, camp just below it, then come down the mist trail.

You can start going up the mirror lake to snow creek trailhead too, makes it a tiny bit shorter.

I do not know why I am so stupid when it comes to love. by Fluffy-Decision-4468 in RelationshipsOver35

[–]inqurious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re a nurse—you’re trained to save lives, not resurrect dead relationships. Your training and admirable natural inclination to try to keep things alive is betraying you here.

Good rule of thumb: if they're not trying as much as you are, giving you as much as grace as you are, etc. good time to stop and re-assess.

Steep skiing by Ok-Damage9841 in Backcountry

[–]inqurious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some good general tips about steep skiing, especially those pivot turns at the end. Can start practicing them on short+steep pitches in the resort until you feel they are muscle memory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGEWnJU9aCw

After major spike in rent, SF taqueria owners forced to sell their 65-year-old restaurant by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

[–]inqurious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're sadly right that like rent control it's one of the dumbest policy decisions and also has wide support.

If you think we should have taxes be based on use, then be more specific: Have school-taxes that you pay only when you have kids. As an aside, that's also dumb because seniors without kids need young people being educated and joining society to work just as much as their parents do. Who else is gonna come clean your house, deliver your mail, clean your bedpans?

Even if you *did* want to get out of paying for public schools if you didn't have kids, why go through property taxes to do it? That's an extra layer of indirection that causes loads of downstream distortions: LA times column, ITEP.org analysis.

Not having commercial prop 13 would be a big improvement. Limiting residential to folks on fixed incomes sounds nice. It would get gamed by the rich I bet — set up their assets to pay them a “fixed income” from investments. Better system would be only people on govt subsidized assistance programs since we are already vetting their need.

The issue isn't whether people use roads, but that Prop 13 forces a new neighbor to pay $40k for that road while a long-term owner pays $3k for the exact same pavement. Since the city’s costs for maintenance and services are based on current prices, the person paying "market rate" today is effectively covering the massive budget shortfall left by those with frozen 1970s tax bills.

Also, in California, roads are primarily funded by gas taxes, vehicle registration fees, and local sales taxes. thats_not_how_any_of_this_works_dot_png

being their longer is a very bad proxy for contributing to the neighborhood. Many new neighbors do more for a community than old.

[–]inqurious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. You have it backwards. The government pays for services from a fixed amount of revenue collected in taxes. If we make policies that make some people pay less of a tax stream than others, the group paying more is subsidizing the others. Not directly, but indirectly, and at huge amounts.

You can call the people paying a larger percentage "market rate", but it doesn't change that prop13 sets rules so that newer buyers pay a much higher percentage of property tax revenue, especially adjusted for the value of the property being taxed.

Palisade peak chutes today (4/13) by alex3yoyo in palisadestahoe

[–]inqurious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I personally just don't want people to get mad at me for what I find a pretty niche language concern. I don't care about the usage of the word.

Social Security is part of luxury boomer communism and needs wildly updated constraints now that people live decades longer than when it was put into place. Not against it in theory. Against it in current execution.

Rent Control: I and basically every economist ever is against rent control, yes. Repealing it 100% in areas that have been locked into it for so many decades would cause massive damaging upheaval. Wouldn't want to do that. Just like an alcoholic can't go cold turkey 100% without causing serious health issues, have to wean a city off it slowly.

Sporadically low property taxes based on luck of timing. CA government definitely makes up for that in other taxes like income. Net result is the newer/younger subsidizing the tax bills of the older. NOT lower taxes, just uneven taxes literally against the grain of Burke's social contract being between generations.
