I hate these cyclists that take up space on the road when they have a solid bike lane next to them.

I keep seeing people frustrated by changes that impact parking—whether it’s new housing, bike lanes, or restaurants using former parking spots for outdoor dining. But here are two hard truths:

1.  San Diego is getting more dense.
2.  You are not entitled to street parking.

It doesn’t matter who you vote for in November—this won’t change. San Diego can’t expand outward anymore, so we’re building up. It’s time to adjust.

I get it—change is uncomfortable, and it’s natural to feel nostalgic about how things used to be. But resisting it won’t stop more people from moving here. Maybe you don’t want to ride a bike or there’s no convenient public transit for you, and that’s fine. But expecting 180 square feet of free real estate for your car everywhere you go just isn’t realistic anymore.

I just want to say as someone who lives in Lousiana, who has spent my life here and experienced the culture, livelihood, and community first hand the way y’all speak on the behalf of a man you have never met actually makes me so sad and disgusted. I have to assume your life view is vary narrow and black and white to say the things you have said about someone just because of some kind of bias you have created in your mind that has nothing to do with reality.

I understand he shared a deeply violent, transphobic post THREE YEARS ago but you need to delayer the context of what is happening. He’s exposed to only the information he has available to him. He’s a father and also perhaps extremely ignorant based on the life he’s lived as a person. I understand you care, but he’s not famous. He’s not your dad. He’s not your friend. He owes you absolutely nothing. And guess what. Neither does Lana Del Rey. She is a human being living her life. The last straw for me was posting his home post hurricane with people celebrating something terrible happening to this person’s home and livelihood. If any of you are even old enough to remember Hurricane Katrina, these experiences for people who live here are deeply traumatizing. Do you feel like you’re a better person now that you’ve called him poor? Do you feel deeply in your heart that you’re superior now because you’ve demeaned him because he’s suffered from a natural disaster? I just want to understand this.. The collective trauma of these events affects all of us. He’s just a man. Maybe he’s learned, who fucking knows. Leave him alone. Can you imagine drones flying over your yard while you’re sweeping disgusting swamp water out of your living room because of something completely beyond your control. I wish to god if the mods of this sub had any sense they would leave this man alone and keep this conversation to Lana and her music alone. No one deserves this. This does not make you better than him because you shit on him and wish him to suffer. Let’s move on please.

I also deeply resent the implication that she is “cosplaying” poor as if people who choose to live here are just low life, cheap and dirty. I don’t know if any of you have spent time in a city that maybe fit your needs and personal preferences that compelled you to move there. It does happen. She doesn’t need to live in hollywood to fit her needs. Rural lousiana is a beautiful, rich incredible place. Spend one second considering things happen outside of your bubble and have compassion for people who might happen to have different ideas from you and those ideas might manifest in ways you can’t immediately digest. The world is diverse. People are nuanced. Let it be

Editing to add: Thanks everyone for your kind, reasonable discussions!! Glad we can all rationally discuss our ideas like adults. I’m done replying now so feel free to discuss amongst yourselves or scream into the void or whatever. I hope you all give yourself a big pat on the back today for bitching at each other over the internet. Love u all!!

According to the financial post, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has doubled the federal debt. It took nearly 2 dozen Prime Ministers and a century and a half for the federal government to rack up $616 billion in debt but less than a decade later on August 30 the debt has officially doubled to 1.232 trillion. Our children and their children’s children will be paying this debt off for decades. Can anyone point to any specific improvements in Canada that all this money has paid for?

i got my 2 yr old cousin to say fuck!!!! also she said anime, and she said shit. she also likes to say bitch. im such a great cousin :DDDDD

it’s like

Eles não entendem que a ditadura do proletariado não existe porque é um oximoro, quem vai controlar o estado é burocracia/ nomenklatura, se forma uma nova classe ou se consolida uma nova classe para substituir a "burguesia", no caso os burocratas, uma espécie de nova aristocracia estatal. Eles serão os donos do "meio de produção" e proletariado só vai ficar mais enfraquecido e limitado com essa forma de governo. Um burocrata jamais pode ser considerado um proletariado.

Isso se observa em todos os regimes que tentaram adotar qualquer vertente do socialismo como China, Cuba, Vietnam, Camboja, URSS etc. Essa aristocracia estatal acaba se tornando também hereditária já que o filho vai ter acesso as melhores escolas e principalmente herdará as conexões políticas.

Outra falha lógica do Socialismo é que só funciona no nível Global, se o mundo inteiro se tornar socialista, mas se apenas uma ilha se manter capitalista, o socialismo irá fracassar em poucas décadas por problemas estruturais. Só ver a URSS que em 1970 importava grãos do Canadá e USA, mesmo tendo o solo mais fértil do mundo (Ucrânia), antes do acidente de Chernobyl contaminar parte da região.

Other than hearing the music as loud as humanly possible I can't see any benefit to hearing live music especially at a concert. The songs are going to sound wrong because it isn't the same as the recording you've listened to at home a hundred times. The performers are going to get tired and that will continue to deteriorate the sound of the music. Let's not forget the crowd screaming like banshees and ruining your chance to hear something that kinda sorta resembles the songs that you love.

Live music is awful and I have no idea why anyone likes it. Increase your chance to get physically injured, sick, have hearing damage, and get pickpocketed for the low low price of hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Make it make sense.

Used to be a nice city. Now it’s overpopulated and they keep building soulless high-rises

I am a first-year General Surgery Resident currently working under a third-year General Surgery Resident on a relatively calm service. Unfortunately, this individual consistently subjects me to unwarranted criticism, seemingly for no other reason than because they can. While I understand that everyone faces challenges, the unprofessionalism I am experiencing is unacceptable. The resident frequently modifies the format of my notes without altering the content, citing subjective preferences and often inventing issues regarding what should or should not be included. Her behavior reflects a significant lack of professionalism, communication, respect, and teamwork.

What makes this situation particularly frustrating is my background as manager, where I focused on optimizing workflows, improving efficiency, and fostering a positive team environment. I worked diligently to ensure teams collaborated harmoniously, delivering high-quality outcomes while maintaining mutual respect and satisfaction. In contrast, I now find myself working with colleagues who seem to lack real-world experience outside academia and who do not understand how to interact respectfully with their peers. Instead of seizing the opportunity to teach and mentor interns, they resort to belittling and disrespecting us.

I am becoming increasingly frustrated and aggravated by the toxic environment created by some senior residents who seem more interested in asserting dominance than in fostering professional growth. This behavior is not only detrimental to our working relationships but also violates the principles of professionalism and could have serious consequences if left unchecked. I felt the need to express this frustration because, while other professions seem to value professionalism, teamwork, and mutual respect, these qualities appear to be lacking in many medical settings.

I’m still so divided primarily because I never got a really sufficient definition of the term other then that it was once African-American usage 100 years ago and now is often characterized as leftists propaganda, so can someone clear this mees up please? Thank you (:
