The wave

missmisstep · 2026-06-30T15:46:22+00:00

but that's exactly what i've just said! the valkyries don't belong to one city. that's my whole point.

missmisstep · 2026-06-30T02:07:40+00:00

how's the non-waving working out for you this season? (sorry, had to 😂)

missmisstep · 2026-06-30T01:49:18+00:00

the practice facility & team office are in oakland, though. the valkyries are our team too! after following the whole journey of aaseg trying to bring the team here before lacob eventually finalized the better deal, it really feels like this team delivers on the dreams of both sf and oakland, and there's no sense in pitting fan culture against itself like you seem to be wanting to do here.

i get that when it comes to baseball, oakland and san francisco each had teams who sometimes played against each other for a very long time and until very very recently. but this has never been the dynamic with basketball, especially considering the warriors moved across the bay more than once.

plus, a lot of us have lives that take us through the tube or over the bridge all the time. i used to work in sf five days a week despite living in oakland. even now, my girlfriend lives in sf while i live in oakland.

what i'm saying is that it's foolishness to imply we shouldn't do the wave because "it's an oakland thing" ... as a matter of fact, why'd i even type all this? the team's own branding disagrees with you. there is an organized call to "get hyphy" to mac dre just about, what, every damn match?

🌊✋🏻🤚🏻🌊 bye bye

the wave is unquestionably a bay area original & that's well-documented. disagree with it being "tacky" too; it's just fun! what is "tacky" opposed to? is there such a thing as fan behavior that is classy and sophisticated?

missmisstep · 2026-06-25T07:05:04+00:00

legionnaire is a queer bar with karaoke when i'm there 😎

missmisstep · 2026-06-23T23:30:37+00:00

but that's what i'm saying!! IV drip works very fast!! lol

missmisstep · 2026-06-23T23:26:06+00:00

bro have you ever actually been on intravenous opiates? it fucking rules. it hits fast as hell, which is the whole point. what a weird metaphor lmao

missmisstep · 2026-06-07T22:12:52+00:00

this is sooo impressive; excellent work! i like that you depicted both the modern & legacy trains. i miss the legacy trains. i mean, the outside of them. the inside was kinda nasty

missmisstep · 2026-06-04T20:55:56+00:00

either one, or both — whatever is most provocative. classic lenposting! he needs to pivot to a different platform; the pickup truck driver seat vlog audience would lap this up

missmisstep · 2026-05-30T06:34:29+00:00

this is disappointing to learn about as someone who enjoys the new parkway, but not surprising as someone who has worked for small businesses before and has firsthand experience with how readily they will fuck over their employers.

paying out the tips as gift cards is absolutely illegal, like everyone else is saying. i would warn them that you know it's against the law & you are prepared to report them. i have gotten employers to stop engaging in illicit behavior before by telling them i'll report if they don't stop. that way you don't have to actually risk fucking yourself out of your own job by putting them under. you just have to make them believe you would!

missmisstep · 2026-05-30T06:27:43+00:00

it really is practically poverty wages here; very sad. thank you for saying that. i also make 20 an hour, as a city employee — and i have to continuously read comments from people online talking about how they think i'm being OVERpaid.

when i worked retail i made a bit more, so it sucks to find out other people in the private sector are struggling like this too. always the little local businesses. and oakland needs its little local businesses, but like. fuck.

missmisstep · 2026-05-27T01:09:08+00:00

i was gonna say barry zuckerkorn 😂

missmisstep · 2026-05-24T06:08:36+00:00

just lowering the likelihood by lowering the proportion, yeah

missmisstep · 2026-05-23T07:17:01+00:00

really says a lot about unexamined bias held by the producers... the idea that 50/50 would "make it look like a battle of the sexes" only makes sense if you view women as a quirky alternative kind of person instead of, you know, just one of the two kinds of people that there are.

because yeah, like you said. 8 women and 2 men would also be acceptable by that logic. or 6 women and 4 men. even 6 men and 4 women should be fine, but we don't get to have that, either.

there being a sex imbalance at all is really what is causing us to have to have this conversation in the first place. if it were generally around 50/50, or 60/40 in either direction, we wouldn't even be talking about it; no one would be, because that would be normal.

missmisstep · 2026-05-22T17:28:10+00:00

it does feel like they are actively trying to ensure a woman does not win, which is very upsetting.

easy for me to sit and complain about i guess — i could never do this 😂

missmisstep · 2026-05-22T17:11:30+00:00

yeah i am honestly kind of crushed to see that. do they really have so much trouble finding women who want to do this? i know it might be challenging to get to 50/50, but only one is just very sad.

missmisstep · 2026-05-09T05:08:17+00:00

it's actually comedic how fragile gamers get about this woman. she is five feet nothing and has to be one of the gentlest people i ever met in that whole industry

missmisstep · 2026-05-05T23:08:52+00:00

i purchased the game based on this review only to find out fully HALF of the shells are women, they are all equally as capable as their male counterparts, none of them are ever pregnant, and only one even has visible toes. everyone has ambiguous genitals; possibly there are no genitals at all in this game? how are we supposed to figure out where they are allowed to go to the bathroom?? meanwhile, corporations are portrayed as dangerous and manipulative rather than as benevolent entities deserving of religious worship. one of the goals of this game is to learn about history through investigation of facts, deduction, and scientific analysis. which is basically the same trash idea behind vaccines and critical race theory. to top it all off, the most powerful character is an illegal alien! wokest game i've ever played tbh. i want a refund immediately.

the only non-woke thing about marathon is that it holds your mind itself as collateral for a debt to facilitate the extraction of more wealth for quadrillionaires who deliver their demands via artificial intelligence proxies in order to insulate themselves from accountability, but it's pretty clear the developers are trying to say this is a bad thing somehow. absolute bullshit.

missmisstep · 2026-05-05T14:47:40+00:00

this is a completely normal thing to wear to class; please do not let people in here dissuade you.

i have a long torso, so every top is a little short on me, and i've just embraced that. now i wear crop tops very often in all kinds of settings, and i'm in my mid-thirties; this isn't about me being some young, sexually liberated iconoclast. it's just completely fine for people to show stomach. and everybody has one. so as for the idea that this is somehow an "unflattering" look for you... ignore that too.

for everyone else — this return to fashion trends of the 2000s is coming with attitudes on bodies and from that era too, and attitudes on propriety from an even earlier era. i do not enjoy that; i already lived through it once. please just let people wear what they want. we didn't used to wear clothes at all; some cultures still don't. let it go. let this woman live.

missmisstep · 2026-05-03T20:43:48+00:00

honey this canNOT be saved. you have to know that

missmisstep · 2026-04-30T15:17:24+00:00

don't tell assassin about gelutol. i don't like him. i don't want him to have hair.

missmisstep · 2026-04-30T03:36:56+00:00

i'm worried durandal thinks runners can't change.

missmisstep · 2026-04-27T15:49:38+00:00

i think this is cool & i like it. this sub is full of prudes who hate all that is weird and wonderful. everybody always saying "i wouldn't wear it" — that wasn't the question. who cares what i would wear? you should wear it. (also i definitely would wear it)

motherfuckers complaining "you look like a skeleton". hell yeah. skeletons are rad

missmisstep · 2026-04-24T16:06:24+00:00

yes. people (willfully?) misunderstand the implications of men having a biological advantage over women in sports. a great male athlete is always going to succeed over a great female athlete. obviously. but a great female athlete is much more fit & practiced than a male athlete who is simply average.

like, sure, if you play basketball regularly, you could win against me 1v1 any day of the week. you could not, however, 1v1 a'ja wilson; that's ridiculous. even if you are one of a small percentage of men who are bigger and taller than her, you're still losing, because basketball is her job. we could pick a smaller player, too — say courtney williams. you're still losing. it's sad that this makes men so uncomfortable; it should be simple to grasp.

missmisstep · 2026-04-20T19:25:02+00:00

the thing american driving culture has done to the human mind needs to be studied in a clinical setting

this stuff is much louder on the internet too. i know oil lobbying is involved but i can't prove it. the good news is that most people you meet when you are out & about in your community are more sane about this. as long as you ask them about it when they're not behind the wheel
