This is the first time I have heard this insult, and honestly it sounds more non-sensical than offensive.

Oh, I think I ended up voting yes on that then. I don't remember keeping it lol, probably just misremembered.

Same here, I voted two weeks early or so when I was back home for a bit. I doubt Cox would have won (and he didn't), but I ended up voting for him anyways because there is no way I'm putting my vote on Newsom. I ended up voting de Leon, mostly because I really didn't want Feinstein to stay...but she did, so oh well. When it came to California props, I voted "no" on Prop 6 (increased gas tax) and "no" on Prop 10 (rent control expansion). I also voted "no" on 3 ($8.8B water infrastructure measure). His approval rating is at 40% because Trump mostly just uses his rhetoric towards people who already support him. People who liked him in the first place will continue to like him, and people who disliked him before will continue to dislike him. This kind of divisiveness though might end up hurting him in the long run if independents and other conservatives who were persuaded and voted for him back in 2016 choose not to in 2020. Previous presidents had higher approval rates because they didn't lean as much to the left or right and were more open to compromise. Trump being in office is really just a sign of how divisive and polarized our politics have become.

I figured Anaheim would be somewhat easier to walk around in, but when I was in high school, I lived in the southern half of Irvine. We have OCTA here, but in some communities there is literally no coverage. The closest bus stop for me was 1.5 miles away, which meant the only real option was to drive. The nearest Albertsons was almost 2.5 miles away, believe it or not. I didn't like living there. Irvine is a very sprawled out city, unlike some of the older cities like Orange or Anaheim. Irvine isn't the most pedestrian-friendly city, either. Some intersections do not have crosswalks at all to save traffic light time. Now I live in San Jose and it's only marginally better because we only have one bus line. Unfortunately, the buses here are even less frequent and usually doesn't cover enough area to get you to go where you want to go. Some places require two or even three bus transfers because the lines are too short. There's also the VTA light rail, but it is incredibly inefficient and ineffective, especially when compared to its SF Muni light rail counterpart. Its ridership is literally less than 1 percent.

I've always struggled to walk anywhere in San Jose or my time in Orange County. It's always such a slog to get anywhere – even in my current neighborhood, the nearest grocery store and shopping center is about 1.2 miles away...and public transportation sucks here. There's only one bus line that goes near my neighborhood, and it's never convenient enough to justify using. All of that usually means that my family and I'm forced to drive to get anywhere. Meanwhile, in Santa Barbara, walking and taking the bus are significantly easier – it's not comparable to other cities in Asia that I've been to, but it's not too bad compared to OC and San Jose. How are your neighborhoods? Is it easy to walk around to get to where you want to go?

The name "football" didn't really come from using your feet to kick the ball, it was used to refer to any sport that requires to use your feet in general. Back then, a lot of more "refined" sports such as polo were played on horseback, and sports like rugby didn't get official rules until much later. American football is a descendant of rugby (union football), but since it's different enough to not be the same sport, they just omitted the "rugby" part. So does rugby exist to make Brits feel special, or Australian football to make Australians feel special? Some cultures have sports that are native to them. I'm personally not interested in American football, but I don't think it's exactly fair to bash sports that oneself don't fully understand or are simply not interested in. Plenty of other posts here have probably made bold assumptions about the sport they call "overrated" and probably don't understand the amount of effort, skill, or strategy behind the scenes.

The Earth would actually be flat if you flew towards it at the speed of light.

Vote for the side that has a bat pony!

I don't really dislike the game, but because battle royale games are a huge trend in general, it's slowly getting oversaturated with copycats who want to milk off of its popularity. Not to mention it's lended to a lot of low quality and clickbait Youtube and Twitch content, with Muselk and Ali-A being the worst offenders. Hell, both of them used to be decent YouTubers when they weren't making clickbait Fortnite videos on a daily basis. I was especially disappointed in Muselk, since he's completely thrown his old TF2 and Overwatch fans in the dust to get easy money off of a cartoonish battle royale game. I'll say that the majority of Fortnite YouTubers aren't actually playing the game because they like it and want to make quality content, it's because they want to make that sweet ad revenue off of ignorant little 12 year olds.

Geometry Dash. Usually I don't try to play a level that's too difficult so I don't end up staying hours after bed.

For the 10th most populated city in the United States, San Jose is rarely, if ever, used for a proper disaster film. San Andreas could count, but it was almost entirely filmed in San Francisco. Terminator 2: Judgement Day did have some scenes in Sunnyvale and Fremont, but that's not really a disaster film.
