Don't forget that Anuel AA and Justin Quiles have also endorsed Trump at his events.

I have a friend that was diagnosed with lupus as a young kid. When they were a teenager, their father was able to give them a kidney. This improved their situation drastically, and now they are a parent.

I've never heard of the show that was referenced. I know many Americans that have financially supported their elder parents. Basically the quality of care that their parents receive is based on how much the adult children can afford.

I feel like some American seniors have more money than their adult children, and the children expect to receive an inheritance once their parents die.

If someone has reasons for not financially supporting their parents, like a deeply strained relationship due to past trauma caused by the parent, I suppose I could understand that.

But America is a big country. I'm sure there are assholes that tell their 90 year old parent to get a job when they could afford to help. But I feel like most Americans would recognize this as cruel.

Many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and can't afford to give much.

I think it's lazy advice to tell people they can save money by not giving their family financial assistance.

I believe America will kill Putin if he uses nuclear weapons on Ukraine, so I don't think this will happen.

Maybe you can host a community meeting to meet people in your area that feel the same as you? Or you can protest somewhere? Or set up a table in a public space to discuss or debate with other people?

Ubuntu. I have nothing to prove.

I'd liken her to more of a corpse flower. A big, unique, beautiful flower is blooming but it smells like vomit and dead bodies. But I agree with your point and despise those laser etched crystal things.

I prefer isolation, single player video games, and food delivery. To each their own.

this is the city that some conservatives have been claiming Haitian immigrants are eating pets.

 

London Breed did not participate.

 

I stopped going to the potrero safeway for awhile because it was so difficult to get a shopping cart there. I also have cut back on shopping at safeway because shit's expensive. But I went there a few times recently, and there are ample shopping carts. Shopping carts in the parking lot, and in the store! In the past, I would get so frustrated going there and having multiple people hunting for a cart, or being escorted out to my car by an employee so the cart would get promptly returned. I used to drive down to Excelsior safeway a few times because I knew they had shopping carts.

I spent some time in Lake Tahoe this summer, mostly South Lake Tahoe, and there were so many cyclists. It was such a joy (admittedly I was on vacation) There were many designated multi use paths for walking/cycling/scooters, in addition to bike lanes on the street. It felt safe enough that I could park my bike in front of any restaurant and eat without worry that someone would steal my bike, which was a big plus. There were even some touristy spots where they would encourage people to park there bikes without locks, which was surreal for me. It seemed like many people that live there own 4 wheel drive, large vehicles, but also own bicycles and made use of them during the warmer parts of the year. It felt like they figured out how to make cycling and other forms of transportation work well for their city.

In San Francisco, I can commute with my bicycle year round, except for heavy rain, which then I can easily take a train or bus (or drive but why bother). San Francisco has green painted lanes on the street, designated bike lanes, and areas for bike friendly rides, like the Embarcadero's multi use path, car free Market St, Golden Gate Park, etc. I still don't feel comfortable street parking my bike in most parts of the city unless I'm being quick. I do use BikeLink Parking whenever possible since it's the best and offers me peace of mind. I find myself biking to areas with BikeLink parking available instead of somewhere closer without it. I know some cafes that allow me to bring my bike on to the patio, so I can make it work for many things.

Which city has a stronger bike culture? and bike infrastructure? I think SF would benefit from more multi use paths like they have in South Lake Tahoe, but are they mostly a benefit mostly for tourists and not commuting? I wish SF had safer bicycle parking, since it is such a wonderful way to commute around the city. South Lake Tahoe was a little hot, and SF always has the best weather, so it's easier to ride in the sunshine.
