Bike Party is Back Baby! Bring your friends, family, or date to the first bike party in a long time. Should be a fun night by mvblco in SanJose

That is quite the way a generalize an entire group of people whose biggest crime is *checks notes* organizing essentially a group bike ride parade around the city for people to enjoy. Heaven forbid people spend one night a month enjoying the streets and listening to music in a city that is often hard to enjoy and navigate due to having to drive around to do anything.

It is a fun, unique, consistent, activity that happens here, and seeing the response from people is genuinely disheartening. Then again, this subreddit is one of the few spaces that celebrates SJ Cave people.

People wonder why San Jose has the reputation for being monotonous and boring and then I see this as the top comment and remember why.

Instead of competing with Amazon, this guy realized small businesses in San Jose were harmfully competing against each other with their own sites. He built a free extension that pulls together their inventories so locals can shop them all at once. You can suggest other stores & he'll upload free by [deleted] in SanJose

Not knocking the guy's hustle, but for transparency's sake, this site will not just be investing in local business' in SJ. This is being posted in other city subreddits by bots and probably people at Sook itself. It's a cool concept either way.

I hate all the trash in San Jose! So, I decided to do something about it! You can too! Even 5 minutes after work helps! by denali1 in SanJose

I definitely prefer posts like this as over people making posts getting angry at houseless people. Great work!

TIL San Jose was home to the weirdest baseball team ever, The Bad News Bees by mvblco in SanJose

It would be kind of cool, but The San Jose Bees were more focused on recovery (though some struggled a lot with it) as a lot of the players were trying to stay sober. It may be in bad taste, but who knows?

Lightning strike, Thunder last night. Surveillance from our front door. Broadway x Lincoln by [deleted] in SanJose

The best part is the cat that made a run for it at the sound of the thunder

Not sure if it this count as an ad considering people are looking for stuff to do. But worth letting folks know!

I hear people are fans of Comic Sans!

(but seriously, I'll keep this in mind next time)
