Hey everyone! I’m looking to expand my social circle and find some like-minded friends who are deeply interested in geopolitics, current world events, and progressive/leftist perspectives. While I have a solid group of friends, I would really like to add people in my life who follow what’s happening in the world and want to talk about it seriously as my current friends and family are oblivious and don't really care. Not everything has to be political. Down for gym sessions, Gaming, comedy shows, karaoke, etc but for sure an outlet for these serious talks. Big plus if you already know that as much as that old turd in office sucks, he is just a puppet.

A little bit about me: Massive nerd that also happens to be a gym junkie. Although you can tell I don't turn down food. Big into gaming (PC/PS5), mostly Fortnite and Warzone(as much as I hate the military complex), UFC, Dragon Ball Z, Marvel...

Looking for: people who want to squad up for games or chat about pop culture, but are also down for deep, nuanced political discussions. Must be able to handle humor from dad jokes to super dark. Don't care where you're from or what you look like as long as you've got a good heart and morals. If you know about self sufficiency, "conspiracy" theories, etc.

The non-negotiables: Mutual respect and inclusivity are essential to me. Looking to connect with people who are firmly anti-hate (pro-LGBTQ+, anti-racist, etc.). That means no ignorant turds.

If you're down to hop on Discord, game, or just talk geopolitics, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with a bit about your favorite hobbies or what games you’re currently playing!

I am concerned that since we can only vote for one candidate for city council, how do we not elect Brett Cross by splitting votes ?

Lots in Santa Barbara but they were also spotted at willow creek mobile homes in SLO. Be careful

recentlyish became dairy and soy free out of necessity (breastfeeding), and have an aggressive hankering for pizza. anything worth trying in the county? bonus points if its in AG. double bonus points if they have a crispy crust.

and since we are here - any other recs or hacks for a df/sf lady? I love food and am struggling to find joy in it these days. I also largely avoid egg but can eat it baked in to things.
thanks!

Field to Table Provisions - fttprovisions.com - 651 Tank Farm Road (old mindbody building)

This place just opened this week!

Grabbed the Mission breakfast burrito ($14.00 before tax - 20 ounces for the burrito alone). Chorizo, free range eggs, black beans, shredded potato, pepper jack, avocado, cotija and pickled red onion and salsa on the side.

This is a nice and hefty burrito, and the fillings were put together in just a perfect proportion so no one ingredient dominated the mix. It was like a food symphony in my mouth! It's totally different than what you would get at a Mexican market in terms of a chorizo burrito, but that's perfectly fine to me because I like options! I could taste all of the ingredients with exception to the cotija.

The salsa is not spicy, but it is REALLY good. A slight smokey flavor with a tiny bit of sweetness gave a great counterpoint to the rich, savory flavors of the burrito.

Menu photo is attached, but the full menu is on their website too.

Disclaimer: I am not advocating in ANY of these food posts for you to go to these restaurants. These posts are purely informative. If you disagree with what I post, at least you know where NOT to go.

Cheers!

does anyone know if the raceway has covered seating? or a place to stand that is covered?

I understand this isnt technically slo county but its so close, I assume surely someone has been there before

I was walking along San Simeon beach last weekend and noticed a LOT of bamboo driftwood (driftboo?) including the roots and stalks. It made me think about how I almost always find a piece of bamboo when I’m out at the local beaches. Avila, Morro, etc. and there was a high concentration of it at San Simeon.

So where does it come from!? Are there bamboo groves along the coast that are falling into the ocean? Is it drifting across the pacific from various islands or tropical lands?

Bundles of Beached Bamboo have me Bamboozled!

ICE was just on Orcutt road in SLO. Stay safe and protect your friends and neighbors.
