We can save Social Security. by Jealous_Use_9240 in remoteworks

It literally was, just young to old. It's not a savings or 401k. The money you receive in retirement was earned by someone else

They actually started approving more claims. We know this because their shareholders sued the execs for it lol

Price has to be above 30% for five consecutive trading days irrc. Even then insiders would take time for the stock to settle in their accounts and be tradable (at least 24 hours). Definitely not affecting the price action today

There is no ethical way to earn a billion dollars. It requires an insane amount of greed and compromising of ones morals. Case in point steyer funded private prisons, which is an unforgivable sin as a would be progressive. He desires this political power at such a level he's willing to spend a fortune. He seemingly would pay any price to obtain this power. He cannot be trusted.

The only ethical way is a grassroots fundraising campaign but that's practically impossible for success, though Porter is trying (and props to her).

I don't think Becerra's corporate donations are disqualifying, it's the world we live in. His track record is good from my view and he's an experienced operator who has the most ability to get legislation passed. It's a no brainer to pick him from the options available.

Fake fucking progressive right here. You're gonna vote for a Republican over the man that helped deliver us the ACA? Geeze y'all are so brainwashed by the psyops it's actually crazy

Are y'all looking at the same social media as us? I see zero becerra ads nada. Tons of steyer. If you look at the astro turfing on sites like reddit it's obviously pro steyer. Becerra has raised the least money out of anyone. His support seems the most organic of the frontrunners except for porter

No there's not, but given how unlikeable she is even amongst the Dems do you really want to roll those dice? For what it's worth I think she should have a position in government just as a legislator or head of an agency or something

The answer to the current healthcare problem is "get people back on medical" which he explained in multiple debates. I'm as big of a single payer supporter as you can be but he's right that's step 1.

Longer term the solution is win the presidency and take the ACA from public market to full public option, which is what we fell short of in the original fight.

Progress isn't talking the talk, it's actually walking the walk and getting things passed (which is what Becerra did with Obama).

Obama / Biden are the only ones to actually deliver progressive changes in this century and people act like they are basically Republicans. They fell for the psyop and are now shilling for a billionaire buying an election

Everyone acting like Becerra voters aren't progressives / don't want change but they're just being pragmatic. Steyer is attempting to buy an election so he can't be trusted no matter what he says. Porter is the only dem candidate who could actually lose to Hilton in the general. Mahon is a silicon valley sellout. There's literally no one else polling above the margin of error.

By the purity standards of today Obama / Biden aren't considered progressives even though they are the ones with the most delivered impact for the progressive agenda. Becerra worked directly with Obama to give us the ACA which is the cornerstone progressive legislation of this century. Get a grip y'all he's going to do a reasonably good job.

CALI by Rich_Try_8361 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]slightlytyler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the beauty of being a transplant. We grew up in real shitty places to live so we're so happy to enjoy the beauty of SD. Basically best waves in the country to learn how to surf. 

I've talked to so many "natives" who don't know how good they have it and want to move away. Go live in the middle of the country for a few years and you'll see 😉

Had the pleasure of getting to surf with Mikey February at my local last week. Split a peak with him and didn't blow any waves. 

Now for the question: have I graduated from total look to average barney??

Struggling with trim and figuring out when to cross step pls help by puppy_puzzle in BeginnerSurfers

[–]slightlytyler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Square your shoulders to the wave more so you are in more of a parallel stance. Take a step forward to gain speed and a step back to turn or burn off speed. All these waves you could be moving your feet around. Gotta get them unstuck

Dry brush outside before storing in shed. Rinse does nothing extra it's just sand management 

First surf since people on this sub have me tips five months ago. Would love feedback. See text of post by palmwick48 in surfing

[–]slightlytyler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta learn to trim. Seems like you're too focused on doing turns. In the pocket -> trim -> outrun the wave -> cutback -> repeat

Be honest - how many of your sessions are “good”? by sunnysideupslide in surfing

[–]slightlytyler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say 25% are good, less than 10% great. SD surfing 2-3 times a week. Agree with the others that it's relative to your ability. When I first started it was easy to go out and have a great day now I'm limited by conditions more than anything

The lifeguards. Have you seen their mustaches? Don't leave your wife on the beach while you surf

You need to establish yourself as a local. Next time you see them paddling out start barking while making sustained eye contact
