"When I was 19, I worked at a hotel in SF, and the 40 year old front desk guy spent his life savings (like $45k) making the worst film I've ever seen. The whole thing took place in a couples therapy session."
"Sure, there is good food, cool bars, and plenty of cool architecture. But there is human feces all over the sidewalks. There are drunk techies talking about crypto currency in all the bars. There's nowhere to fucking park. Everything is insanely expensive and extremely mediocre. It feels like a holl"

"RIP KITKAT I FUCKING HATE SF TECH. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT WAYMO."
"I touched grass this weekend and found this strange Imperial Russian outpost north of San Francisco while driving up Highway 1."
"So now on top of 120,000 people without power they have to contend with blocked streets too. I guess the Waymos stopped because if traffic lights are out, that's what they do. Another tech company win."
"like 15 years ago programming computers was a fun, creative, exciting (albeit dweeby) pastime. but dipshit techbros got to it and and destroyed it the exact same way they destroyed the city of san francisco."

"I suppose it's temping to blame the women for the men they choose but I really think its just the state of the dating pool (I'm in San Francisco for reference, so extra bleak). I don't know what to do other than broadly gesture at society since in the middle class women are at a point where they are"

"New York, LA, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington DC, Boston, Miami, and Minneapolis All the other "big cities" are either shells of their former selves and can no longer support urban life or are post-war suburban sprawl sunbelt cities."
"I left LA earlier this year to go back to SF and I almost missed it, then went back for my birthday and stopped at my old Costco and it fully made me realize why I left."
"The trial itself is everything wrong with Lib ideals, being set in SF. It's the hubris that the same corrupt ideology that spawned someone like Holmes and brought her to its highest levels of public spotlight and proximity to powerful people could possibly bring her to justice."
"Needed to stay one night in SF, saw a nice looking hotel for a good price. Gf booked the ticket and we didn't see what neighborhood it was in.

"My Uncle has told me stories about going to raves in 1990's San Francisco, and how they would basically go from one to the next until it was 9am. They were all dirt cheap or free, illegal, and fun."

"My friend is studying epidemiology and interviewed for a job at the SF Department of Public Health."
"I don't really have enough reference points (no real NY experience) but the restaurant thing in San Francisco is ridiculous. The fundamental business behind restaurants is already criminal, so it's been entertaining to see 'restauranteurs' get the burnt end of a piece of policy; it's very much in li"

"Something really weird I noticed: everyone here says 'shelter in place' instead of 'lockdown' or 'quarantine.' At first I thought it was my one friend's tic, but then I started hearing it more and more: 'We started dating before COVID then sheltered in place together.' 'I sheltered in place down in "
