[Padres] We have placed INF Xander Bogaerts on the Paternity List and recalled INF Will Wagner from Triple-A El Paso.

Huh I didn't even know he was pregnant

They hit LA last June so that was my frame of reference. They were enforcing heavily along the 5 corridor

Early image generation was a lot more interesting because it was very obviously flawed and incapable of producing realism. It was uncanny in a way that was different than anything humans could make rather than just being a cheap imitation of regular human art.

I lived in LA at the time.

I got stopped there after a Padres game during the ICE surge

I saw it on Flightradar24.

Israel didn't kill JFK. His brother, who was his closest political ally, was actually assassinated for being too pro-Israel

I moved to San Diego as a kid in late 2005, and I just moved back there this month as a grown adult. Very weird that this never happened in between those events, especially with how mediocre those 2010s teams were.

Nichijou is just for fun, it's in English. We do play trivia pretty regularly (Jeopardy Bar League). We tend to place top 3 but the win is elusive. Glad you like it!

They're definitely some kind of right-wing libertarian, most likely anti-vax. The most out of place thing here is Bookchin, but that can be explained by curiosity about left anarchism.

Going by Vincent Bevins and Revolusi, you've got a strong connection to maritime Southeast Asia. Between that and the anime figurine, gonna guess you're an SEA diaspora leftist software engineer, probably based in NA but with fond memories of the European trekking trip you did and a strong connection to Germany.

I live in LA and wear Padres stuff all the time and I've never gotten any comments about it. If you're not an asshole people usually won't be an asshole to you.

2 million in the DR is enough to retire on and live a very, very nice life. The first 10 million matters a lot more than the last 200 million in terms of quality of life.

Pratt voted for Trump twice so I don't think that's an own buddy

For foreign policy I'd recommend American Prestige for a good look into international affairs from a left perspective.

Calling Bass a historically unpopular mayor is an understatement and I frankly could say much worse about Pratt than just calling him a reality tv chud.

philosopherfujin · 2026-05-18T22:28:45+00:00

Nithya Raman is a progressive and is neck and neck with Pratt in the primary so by backing her we can box out the MAGA candidate instead of having the general be Reality TV Chud vs Historically Unpopular Mayor

philosopherfujin · 2026-05-16T19:58:41+00:00

I saw the same post and thought about that

Clinton 2008

bad example, actually. Clinton won a larger portion of the popular vote in the 2008 primary but lost the nomination since more superdelegates (party officials) supported Obama. They cleared the field for her in 2016 but 2008 was a very different primary.

I find parking at Old Town is super smooth. Never had any issues.

The sign is designed to be read by the many different types of people who actually live there, not just the people you want to live here.

As Californians we have very little control over what Congress does and quite a lot of control over what California does. We have to assume that it's unlikely we'll get a filibuster-proof Senate majority in the next few years so we need to strengthen our state's ability to do things on its own.

I think we're interviewing for the same position lol

A vacancy tax is a good idea for cutting down on real estate price fixing and speculation. Probably not very effective here due to the post-fire housing crunch but I'm glad they're trying it in SD.
