Hi,
we’re four guys, and we’ve put together Westminster’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota. The concept is simple: you see two places side by side (for example Famille vs. Kachina Southwestern Grill), you choose the place you’d rather go to, and the ranking updates instantly. The more people vote, the more accurate the list gets over time. There are still a few duplicates here and there, but I’m continuously cleaning up the data.

Here’s the iPhone version, with categories that actually fit Westminster’s food scene:

And here’s the Android version (finally live):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vota.app

P.S. I’m not from Westminster (I live in Gothenburg). I’m not collecting data, not selling anything, and the app does not use AI-generated content. I’m posting in a few different subreddits because we now support more regions, and I genuinely want honest feedback from people who actually know the area.

Looking for Friends Here

Hey everyone! I am finally breaking out of my depression and making an effort to find new friends in the area. I am a 27M (Black) looking to meet with new folks in the BR area. I am a transplant here (originally from Chicago) but I have been here for 5 years. The reason I have not met anyone here is because I have had work from home jobs during my time here.

I am newly single after being in a long-term relationship and need to find ways to get out of the house so I figured this would be a good spot to start.

I’ve recently been hitting the gym consistently (Anytime Fitness on Jefferson) and would be down for a gym buddy.

I love watching sports (basketball and football), going out, listening to music, bars, food, cars, gaming, politics, etc. I’d be down to trying new things as well.

As long as you aren’t a Trump supporter, I think we’d get along just fine🕺🏾

Looking for models

Hi everyone! I’ve never posted on reddit before but I think this is the best place for what I want to ask. I’m a photography student at LSU and I am looking for trans/non binary people to model for one of my projects. You do not need any modeling experience, and you can wear whatever you want and I will pose you. Feel free to go crazy with outfits and you can bring pose ideas as well! It’s pretty laid back and I’ll send you the photographs! If you or someone you know is interested please reach out to me on instagram @persickepics since I do not check reddit

Thanks guys!

EDIT: I’ll be working on this into April 2027 so if you see it late please still reach out!
Also: here’s a brief project description. my project is a black and white large format portrait series for my senior project and honors capstone. ive been thinking about the argument that republicans have that “you can always tell” when someone is not cis so ive been photographing my cisgendered friends and now am reaching out for more trans people to include in the series. im blending them together into the show to prove that you cant tell when someone is trans and highlighting that we’re just the same as someone whos cis rather than focusing gender non conforming people alone

WeBike BR?

I've seen a bunch of docks downtown for WeBike BR, but have never once actually seen a bike at those docks and have never seen anyone riding one. Visiting their website, it looks like it's an active program, which makes me even more confused at to what these are. Does anyone know if this is an actually active rental e-bike program that just has way too few bikes available or if they just haven't gotten started yet?

Book Club at The Bookstore bar - Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis, October 28, 6:30 p.m.

Join us in October to discuss Less Than Zero! Discussion starts at 6:30 but feel free to come early to meet everyone and pre-game.

They live in a world shaped by casual nihilism, passivity, and too much money in a place devoid of feeling or hope. When Clay comes home for Christmas vacation from his Eastern college, he re-enters a landscape of limitless privilege and absolute moral entropy, where everyone drives Porsches, dines at Spago, and snorts mountains of cocaine. He tries to renew feelings for his girlfriend, Blair, and for his best friend from high school, Julian, who is careering into hustling and heroin.

Clay's holiday turns into a dizzying spiral of desperation that takes him through the relentless parties in glitzy mansions, seedy bars, and underground rock clubs and also into the seamy world of L.A. after dark

This may sound downright nefarious but my SO is grieving and wants to scream at the top of their lungs- however we don’t want anyone to get scared/call the cops. I’d there a good place to do this?

Screaming Club

Can we all pick a day to get together at a lake or something and have one big group of people scream out their emotions simultaneously together? Feel like we all could benefit from that community coordination.

200 DOLLAR SEARCH BONUS: Looking for Independent Mechanic (NiCopp Brake Line Repair)

Rear brake line on my 2012 Kia Soul is rusted through. I'm looking for a mechanic who would be willing to run NiCopp or similar new brake lines over the gas tank (IE, not using the OEM Kia brake line, which is hard and would require replacement of the full gas tank). I am a lawyer, and will sign a document waiving any liability against the mechanic (I know all you guys are scared of getting sued). You are my independent contractor, and I will tell you how I want it done (all liability rests with me). Will pay a fair price to any mech willing to do this. 200 bonus to whoever can get me connected with one that I actually use (or, in the alternative, to the mech himself if he finds me though this). Thanks all!

BR Tattoo Artists Suggestions

I know nothing about the BR tattoo scene, but have been wanting to get one to commemorate completing my doctorate a few years ago. I'm wanting to get something done in the scope and the style of the picture shown, so looking for suggestions on an artists that I can work with that can do similar color and line work.

I'm actually wanting to get one to commemorate completing my master's a while back, too, though that one is much smaller. I don't have any social media besides a little use of Reddit, so trying to find artists is a little difficult and Googling it mostly brings you to generic pages.
