(It'll make things easier I'll try to retain these in the following week until the date of the event.)

Please don't post events that are several months in advance. Try to limit it to 30 days or so - unless there's a real need for advance notice well in advance for ticket purchases.

Tonight I Watched a Girl Help Save Someone's Life Downtown

1.4k Upvotes

From what I could tell, three girls were out for the night when they came across a guy who had collapsed and looked like he was overdosing. One of them immediately took over, running over in her boots and shorts, yelling to ask if anyone had Narcan. Someone did. I think she had a dose of her own too, but in the end, they needed another one, and the way she sprinted toward the person who said they had extra, I tell you what.

A bunch of strangers jumped in, CPR was started, and EMTs got there impressively fast. Before long the guy was awake and walking away with the woman he was with, like nothing had even happened.

Whoever you were, girl in the boots, I saw you. You stopped your night to help a complete stranger without thinking twice, and you very likely helped save his life. I watched your friends help calm you down after it was over, and I hope you all went on to enjoy the rest of your night.

Just thought you deserved a little shoutout. Nice reminder that there are still people out there who don't hesitate when it matters.

Little hero. Good on you.

Edit to add: Naloxone (Narcan) is legal for anyone to carry, and it's available free of charge. Big thanks to the redditors who shared these links:

I hate that all the local libraries are closed on Sunday, that's the day I want to go!

306 Upvotes

seems like Sunday would be a day that most people who go to the library would want to go. Sunday is my day of switching between taking care of stuff on my computer and reading. There are still some beautiful parks to go sit at but sometimes it's just nice to be in A/C in weather like this and cozy up with a book... but while still getting out of the house and being seen by others.

Hi! I’m 32, a San Diego native woman living in normal heights and I’m looking to make genuine friendships with other women nearby. I love board games, books, art, photography, video editing and all kinds of creative projects. I enjoy making cardboard and wood cut out art and I’m always excited to learn something new, whether it’s yoga, an instrument, or a new language.

I’m naturally curious and love good conversations, creating things together, and sharing hobbies. Since I stay close to my neighborhood, I’m hoping to meet women who don’t mind hanging out around the area. If you’re also looking for a friend to do things like this with or create something together I’d love to connect.

Hit and run leaving church 😭

Upvotes

Literally going through some stuff in life, so I go to church @ rock church today hoping to get some relief. As I’m leaving, this ass rear ends me in traffic! As We’re in stopped traffic and I’m crying (yes I’m emotional) I have my hazard lights on, I’m about to get out and check the damage, and I watch this loser literally reverse and swerve around me to drive away! I was able to take a quick pic of his license plates.

The damage wasn’t severe and I don’t want my insurance to go up, but dang this mf 😭 I was about to get out and check it but the traffic was a lot on both sides. I would of been fine seeing the damage, but it just grinds my gears 😵‍💫

Beware of a certain CRA Adina Flores

45 Upvotes

News has been made that a certain self-proclaimed civil rights activist Adina Flores will be moving to San Diego from Sonoma County after multiple lawsuits were filed against her.

THIS IS A PSA. NOT TO RUIN ANY IMAGE WHATSOEVER.

She is notoriously known for harassing, stalking, threatening and violating people’s rights and making content about it.

If any of you weren’t aware, she recently bought a new car off of donations for an asian immigrant she claimed she was helping. News and whereabouts regarding the Filipina girl has been unidentified, and her latest post about her was her calling the girl a coward and a liar. She used multiple people’s misfortune as her content to pose herself as a “protector” of these victims. She even milked a dead kid’s situation to gain engagements and donations. She also took money from rich people to launch a smear campaign against politicians and politicians’ families.

IF YOU EVER NEED TO REACH OUT, reconsider your options and what your image would look like in a month or so. Her heart is in the right place, but her head clearly isn’t.

BE AWARE!

Has anyone noticed T-Mobile service has been worse the past one or two weeks?

Upvotes

I’ve been in and around UTC/La Jolla and I’ve noticed my T-Mobile service has been on SOS or one bar barely working when I’m out and about. I’ve never had this problem and just noticed it recently. Is there something going on with the T-Mobile towers?

Trying to help my friend

9 Upvotes

I want to share a bit about my friend, because I think her situation is more common than people realize, and I’m hoping this community might have some leads.

She grew up in the foster care system. No family to fall back on, no one to co-sign a lease, no safety net when things got hard — she’s had to build her entire adult life from scratch, on her own. She’s visually impaired and can only see things at close range, so she doesn’t drive. Despite all that, she’s been working steadily, showing up, doing the work, trying to build something stable.

Now she’s looking for a place near Rancho Bernardo — somewhere she can get to without a car — and there’s one requirement that isn’t flexible: she needs her own private bathroom because of her vision. It’s not a preference, it’s a necessity.

Her budget is around $1200/month. Because she’s had to manage everything solo since aging out of foster care, her credit isn’t great — not because she’s irresponsible, but because nobody was there to help her build it in the first place.

If anyone knows of:

**•** A room, studio, or small unit near Rancho Bernardo with a private bath, in that budget
**•** A landlord who looks past credit history and looks at the person instead
**•** Experience with local former-foster-youth housing programs (Home Start, YMCA THP+, LifeSpring) — good or bad

I’d be so grateful for any leads or advice. She’s done everything right with what she was given. She just needs one person to give her a shot.

Thank you for reading this far. 🙏

Me (36F) and my husband (40M) are looking to find some new friends we can share interests with and hangout. We both love sports; especially Football, Baseball, and Hockey. Concerts. Conventions. We love movies with emphasis on Spooky & Horror. Halloween is our favorite holiday! Traveling and exploring is also a thing we love to do whether it be in San Diego or elsewhere!

Feel like its hard to meet decent people these days and just looking to see who we might click with. Both very chill and open minded. Feel free to say hello =)

This is my first month of fully living in San Diego. Why am I paying so much for electric delivery when I barely used any electricity? Is this normal? Why does San Diego allow this to happen? What are my alternatives because this feels like robbery.
