    I only start paying attention to the World Cup for the final couple rounds, but I don't remember this thread being this salty four years ago.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    One of my good friends is black and I he says that white people can never say that word under any circumstance about one out of every five times we hang out. Unsolicited.

    God of War (2018)

    I need a fucking glossary for all of our ratings. I don't follow the politics thread which I assume a number of them come from.

    God of War (2018)

    Yeah the experience seems pointless pretty early on. I have unlocked almost every skill. I'm just waiting to hit level 5 so I can get the remaining ones. I guess you're supposed to focus on runic attacks later in the game.

    MLB 2018

    The terrible Reds get three All Stars. That's pretty cool. I'm really curious what they're going to do at the trade deadline. They have bullpen pitchers (Iglesias probably being the biggest), Matt Harvey (who magically turned it around after he was traded to us), and Scooter Gennett. Since...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Fuck yeah. One of the best I've ever played. We are in a golden era of video games right now. This, God of War, Witcher 3, Breath of the Wild. Some excellent shit. I rarely ever do second playthroughs but I will with this one after I finish a couple other games (Nioh up next).

    It's the second most dense city in America. By a lot. https://realestate.usnews.com/real-estate/articles/the-most-dense-cities-in-america

    What do you do?

    Yeah that tower is a huge joke. And it was some of the most expensive housing in the city at one point.

    What do you do?

    No one wants to build "up" though. We really like our Victorian houses and ability to see the sun.

    What do you do?

    That is also very true. There's nowhere to live in SF. There's just not enough land to support the demand.

    What do you do?

    Genentech is in South San Francisco and they're a massive employer in the area. Have Google-style buses that transport employees from the city to there. I know there are a lot of biotech automation companies around too. Like Intuitive Surgical. Might have to look into the Silicon Valley area.

    What do you do?

    There's an employment shortage in the SF tech industry right now. More positions than there are people.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I went to Carl's Jr in a drunken stupor last night and ordered an El Diablo and the Western Bacon Fries. A+ fat meal. Would get fat with it again. The fries were definitely above expectations.

    Google is thinking about getting into gaming, big time

    I pay $7.99/month for Google Music and YouTube Red bundled together. It's a great deal. Whenever I see other people watch YouTube and I see the endless ads I enrage a bit. How do people deal with that shit?

    MLB 2018

    The record is still abysmal, but Reds are no doubt the hottest team in baseball right now. Just came off a seven game win streak and have won 9 of the last 10. Since firing Bryan Price the Reds actually have a winning record. I don't know if Riggleman is the answer, but the team is definitely...

    North Colorado - Denver/Fort Collins Area

    I totally missed the "transients" word. Yeah those people suck. Haight St in SF has become a bit of a cesspool because of them. Like I said, it's the crunchy dirty hippie wooks. First GIS result for "hippie wook".

    North Colorado - Denver/Fort Collins Area

    I wasn't being sarcastic. Typically "young professional" means they're making a solid earning wage. Also a lot of times I assume no kids. It's people with expendable incomes. Unless their college debt is through the roof I guess.

    Why would young professionals increase crime rate? Them moving in is usually a sign of positive change in a neighborhood.

    North Colorado - Denver/Fort Collins Area

    I've spent a considerable amount of time in both. Ft Collins is probably going to be more left-leaning than what you're used to given that it's a college town. But Denver is really close politically as well. Culture-wise, there are a ton of transplants in Denver which means you'll probably be...

    I've considered getting an airline specific card but I mostly fly United because they practically run SFO. And United's mileage plan is garbage. Though Alaska is starting to gain more traction in the airport.

    That will be a fantastic trip and I'm sure people here can give great recommendations based on where you are. While in California I would highly recommend going inland enough to see Yosemite and Sequoia. Yosemite is gorgeous. Hopefully the waterfalls are still going strong at that time of...

    Matt Cameron (Soundgarden) is another dude that plays some really odd stuff. He makes those odd time signatures sound pretty natural. And yeah, Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews) is the man. Linear drumming man. Shit is dope.

    Yeah Freese is sick. He's played with a who's who of the rock world over the past 20 years or so.
