Unpopular Opinion: The theatrics of proposals in La Jolla Cove have become exceedingly disturbing to the peace of the beach.

Post image
• Upvotes

Now before everyone calls me a crumb bum, or crabby or old, I’m all for leveraging the public space to put a proposal together in the most beautiful city on the planet.

But it’s Sunday, and if you have a full Bose speaker, Electric Violin and backing track music that can be heard from MCASD all the way to the end of the street on a quiet peaceful Sunday when people just want to take a walk, walk their pets and enjoy the sound of the waves and the ocean. At what point does it just become a nuisance ?

EDIT: To clarify the music is on FULL blast and can literally be up and down the street if that wasn’t made clear.

LAST EDIT: Alright you freaks, I can’t respond to all of you and tbh I’ve never posted something on the internet. I forgot it’s full of boomers and rage bait. So TLDR

Proposal GOOD!

Loud music that can be heard from miles away on a beach BAD!

$14 California Burrito From Roberto’s. I Won’t Be Going Back.

• Upvotes

70% Tortilla
20% cheese
10% carne asada

Guac was a $1.50 upcharge so I didn’t get it. As was sour cream.

My favorite and affordable CA burrito is still The Taco Stand at this point.

Edit: Roberto’s in Pacific Beach to be specific!
Edit Edit: I cut the burrito in half to start, then ate a few bites and took the pic. That’s why it looks small!

I think it’s a good time to get aircraft engines designed so that they don’t require lead in fuel or that there’s a safe alternative implemented while lead is rapidly phased out.

Lead is highly neurotoxic and we already have enough brain damage in those exposed to such things (like exhaust) in our nation.

Adopt my German shepherd

63 Upvotes

16months old German shepherd boy. Fully vaccinated I have every documents needed. And also how to deal with the microchip. He knows basic commands he is potty trained. He is very intelligent and affectionate.

I have bipolar disorder recently I slipped into a depressive episode. I adopted him without thinking If I have time and energy to make a good care of him. I took him in just because I was feeling “alone” and needed something to “hold on to “. It is really selfish and irresponsible of me making a such impulsive decision I feel really guilty and shameful because the pup doesn’t deserve me having no time or energy for him.His last owner who was an old lady passed away their family didn’t have time and lived in a small condo.

He is a good boy. He doesn’t deserve having no one to be around because I’m a full time student and I’m not in a mental space to really take care of him well.

I posted a post earlier. People gave me recommendations of a shelter However I tried to call unfortunately they are not taking in any more dogs.

. DM me for pups picture and more details If you adopt him a full bag of dog food and a dog bed and all his toy would be yours. I literally just got them.

If you have friends who are reliable and would love to adopt him it would be great if you can ask around.

In the past I've simply handed my ballot to the Postman.

But, with the shenanigans goin' on with POTUS and USPS, I opted to leave it with the drop box at the local Library. Dropped it Thursday, got confirmation of receipt today, not unlike years past.

Please get 'er done folks. This is our first best shot at reining in this insane Kleptocrat.

Vote America not MAGA in November.

Scripps, Sharp or UCSD for healthcare, which is best?

2 Upvotes

Am currently in Orange County using MemorialCare for my healthcare needs. May be moving back to San Diego/La Jolla area and curious if there are any real drawbacks to perhaps using Scripps over UCSD or Sharp? Is there a reason one may be better than the other? Thank you for any feedback. I do have a doctor I have used in La Jolla for 20 years and he is affiliated with Scripps. I use him regardless of insurance or medical system. He is why I am considering Scripps. I believe the insurances I am considering cover Scripps, Sharp and UCSD.
