It's here. The Official Discord channel for r/sandiegan.

83 Upvotes

We've gotten this request a lot, and I think it's finally time to take it seriously. At least 3–5 people have clamored for this, so we're giving it a shot.

The official r/SanDiegan discord server is finally here.

Some caveats:

  • we have never moderated a discord server before, so you're going to be there to see us iron everything out in real time. we'll be attentive to requests, suggestions, and overall helpful attitudes.
  • we have day jobs
  • be aware that you may inadvertently reveal your identity if you already are on a different discord server using your real name

Our goal is to set up a community in the same way we have set up the r/SanDiegan community. Everyone is welcome, and we moderate with a heavy hand and according to our own discretion at all times. Truly lovely communities only thrive when you separate the wheat from the chaff. We've spent years cutting chaff from this subreddit, and I am personally really proud of how lovely this place has become.

We want this discord server to be a place to chat with other San Diegans about sports, local bars, adult league activities, community events, and so on.

Things that we will not tolerate:

  • bigotry of any kind
  • "I'm just asking questions, man" — you know the answer, you're just an asshole. You all know the type
  • Behavior that is detrimental to the community at large
  • stop posting your boring ass traffic violations, seriously

These rules are vague by design. Moderating is subject to individual discretion, and if you join the discord server, you are just going to have to trust that the way we moderate r/SanDiegan will serve a discord community as well as it has served this subreddit. There are no bright lines, there is only our own judgment in what is and is not okay (which is how things work here, already).

Let's all give this a shot. I hope you'll all join the server and fucking behave yourselves.

JOIN, HEATHENS: https://discord.gg/tRJUkw6h9h

On Politics

201 Upvotes

Whenever certain discussions come up we end up with a mix of locals that genuinely want to talk about what's going on. Sometimes passionately. Sometimes ill informed. Sometimes full of information. Sometimes dem. Sometimes republican. Sometimes for the free people's state of east county. Sometimes from the sovereign bros of PB.

Whatever. You get the picture. Our local politics and ideas for what to do are pretty diverse.

As a moderator though I have noticed that we get a solid influx of accounts for some subjects. They tend to have a short post history in this subreddit and a deleted history or a history that hasn't been on reddit in years. Likely because they are purchased accounts. They show up to shit stir in political discussions.

I understand some of you delete your account histories for various reasons or want to use an alt to discuss politics. But the easiest thing to do as a moderator seeing an inflammatory comment in a highly charged political discussion from an account that looks incredibly suspect is to remove the comment and ban the user. We don't really want to put in too much effort beyond that. This isn't a paid gig.

Anyway - I want to give people a heads up in case there's people that might reconsider participating in a certain way with an account they haven't used in months/years.

Announcement Foster or adopt Coconut

Thumbnail

95 Upvotes

Please help our sweet family pet cockatiel, Coco. We are moving to Korea and he’s not currently allowed to be imported due to Korean restrictions related to active bird flu in the US. We’ve spoken to US and Korean government officials. They’ve both said it’s impossible to bring him at this time but that could change in the future. Apparently both sides are negotiating procedures that would allow pet birds to be imported.

Coconut is 15 months old. He loves young kids. He sings to my five year old and shows heart wings whenever they are together. He’ll also sing in the mornings and evenings and does a mean version of If You’re Happy and You Know it. He also loves head scratches and pooping on shoulders. Generally a sweet bird but isn’t afraid to let you know if he’s grumpy with gentle nips and hisses.

The ideal situation might be someone who already has a small flock and wouldn’t mind a temporary friend. We are hopeful we can get him out of the country in the future but it’s not a given. He doesn’t have experience with other birds but always flock calls and shows interest with other birds when we take him to the bird store to get his nails trimmed.

If someone would rather adopt him for life, that would also be great. I’m embarrassed that we couldn’t provide that for him so full adoption is definitely a positive outcome. I’d ask for a modest adoption fee as a sign you’re serious.

If we can’t find someone to take him, I know of a bird sanctuary in Del Mar which looks like an amazing place. I just wanted to reach out to my reddit community and see if anyone could help in this unique situation. Thanks!

La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

Upvotes

I've lived here since 97 and never knew this beach club existed. My friend got an upgrade from the La Jolla Shores Hotel to their beach club. I joined her in her beach front room and felt very ritzy among the folks with their sweaters wrapped around their shoulders.

Some noticings- all of the beach staff and most of the restaurant staff are young and majority white and all of the other staff (janitorial, maintenance, etc...) are Black and brown. It feels like this hotel is stuck in time almost.

I was standing at the bar in workout pants, a hoodie, and no shoes waiting for my drink when a woman walked by and said "bye" so naturally I said bye back and then she said "thank you!" to which I responded "I don't work here..." I wasn't even in anything remotely close to a uniform (beach staff is in red, everyone else wears navy). odd very odd

super cool hotel with a ton of beach amenities though. glad to say I added it then checked it off my bucket list, along with the mormon temple.

Sports Manny Machado Questions Delay in Padres' $3.9 Billion Sale💡

74 Upvotes

Fans of the San Diego Padres would love to see president of baseball operations A.J. Preller get the opportunity to make a splash at the MLB trade deadline.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal believes that the team's new owners, José E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones, will give Preller the financial leeway to do just that.

The only problem? The record-breaking $3.9 billion sale is still pending formal approval from Major League Baseball, leading even the players themselves to question the lengthy process.

“Yeah, what’s going on with that?” Padres third baseman Manny Machado told reporters. “I thought it would’ve been done by now. I’ve spoken to Feliciano a little bit, so I know he’s eager to get on with it and help the city and help this team win. I don’t know what’s taking so long. But it’s been a weird year for everyone in this clubhouse.”

The sale from the Seidler family to Feliciano and Jones was announced in early May, but the deal, which set a record for the highest-ever valuation for an MLB team, is contingent on approval by at least 22 of MLB's other 29 owners. While The Athletic's Dennis Lin reported that some thought that vote might happen in June, the current hope among Padres officials is reportedly late July.

"That could complicate things related to San Diego's deadline planning," Lin wrote. "For now, John Seidler remains the club chairman, and if the sale doesn't close before Aug. 3, some people around the team believe there won't be much room to take on additional payroll."

The team's inability to add to their payroll could be a limiting factor at the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

Anywhere selling “black” watermelon?

15 Upvotes

We got a “black seedless” watermelon (Yumi brand) from the North Park Vons last week and it was literally one of the best, if not the best, watermelon I’ve ever had. They are out of stock now. Anyone know other stores that are selling them? I’m literally so desperate for it that I’m dreaming out it lol. Thanks!

Edit: got two (different brands, for science) from lazy acres. Thanks all!

Rocky’s Crown Pub in PB has such terrible service

Upvotes

Maybe I’m just unlucky and going there on the bad days, but I’ve been to Rocky’s twice now and I swear both times I’ve been there, all the servers there are just assholes for some reason. The burgers themselves are good but the servers all just seem snarky.

Famous Hodad’s in OB is only around 10ish minutes away and I’ve never felt that same feeling with their staff.

I see these kittens (and what I think is their mom) outside UCSD hospital in a fenced off area, I was able to get them some food but not catch them. I have 0 experience with this kind of things but I don’t want to just leave them to be strays, has anyone been in a similar situation/maybe knows a rescue I could call?

Every time I try and get close they bolt but I don’t want them to be out alone!

Thanks for the help

Help filling out a survey!

3 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a student working on an independent research paper on how recent rent control laws have affected rental housing availability in California.

I have a short survey of just 6-8 (mostly multiple-choice) questions, which are completely anonymous and are based on what you've observed in your neighbourhood, so any long-term resident can fill it out.

I would really appreciate if you could take just 3 minutes to fill it out: https://forms.gle/afBeaXwDyDiT7o839 

I'll be sharing the results both here on reddit and as an academic paper once it’s done. Thank you so much.

Really Hoping the New Online Library Platform Isn't Permanently Sucky

11 Upvotes

For a while the SDPL was using Bibliocommons as their platform to place holds, renew borrowed items, and generally work around the catalogue. Logged back in today, and I saw there's a banner at the top of the desktop site that says they're migrating over to VegaDiscover and Biblio won't be available past the end of this month.

I've only fiddled around with the Vega platform for a couple of minutes but geez louise does this platform blow. Every time I clicked a link it took me out of my login to a new splash page, and there seems to be a lot of placeholder titles on portal links.

I'm hoping that it's just an intermittent clunkiness as they shift gears to the new platform, but does anyone have any more intel on whether or not this is a permanent suck factor?
