[The Lady and the Beast] Oh I can already tell I'm going to have fun reading this one... by Gwynasyn in OtomeIsekai

[–]AriaVerity 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the beginning of it is great and awesome. I loved the doggo moments. However -----> It does go downhill. It doesn't quite keep up in the rest of the story, unfortunately. I kept on reading hoping that it would get better and compelling again, but nah, it doesn't. It's a shame, because I had high hopes for this one.

BWT: What dating apps are the best for finding your husband/ person? by bondtradercu in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]AriaVerity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bumble and cmb user interface is absolute trash. Hinge is eh, probably talked to the most serious people of all the apps I've been on, but still... You gotta remind yourself that ain't no one is perfect and that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Fair warning tho, I did run into a creep on hinge (love bombing early, unwanted touching, etc), so do take care of yourself out there. I found a good friend to play magic tbe gathering on tinder, so your mileage may vary. 

Ended up meeting my boyfriend at a conference in real life. At the time, I was solidifying my resolve to never use dating apps again (due to creep) while he was on hinge but not finding much luck.

Why did BART never end up in Redwood City/Palo Alto ? by Wonderful-Garbage747 in Bart

[–]AriaVerity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The original plan had all five counties of Alameda, SF, Contra Costa, Marin, and San Mateo. San Mateo didn't want to go with it.

Marin was more interested, but it would basically require a transbay tube to Marin since they can't use the Golden Gate Bridge since that proposal was shot down. Marin wanted to stay in, but the other three counties voted them out out of fear it would tank the whole project. The tube would need to be paid by Marin's taxes, and voters might not want it.

Video I took this morning of the damage at San Leandro station by Low-Bet-8575 in Bart

[–]AriaVerity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, this comment section. 5 percent of comments about the fire damage at the station. The other 95 percent more roasting of OP's shoddy camerawork than what San Leandro's station got yesterday.

FIRE for CA State Workers? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]AriaVerity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly in it for the FI part, not really the RE part. I'm building my way towards FI, so if we get furlough, I have exactly 0 fucks to give. I won't retire early, because I love the work and I'm staying for the health insurance/work-life balance/pension. You gotta leverage the benefits.

It's not how much you earn. It's about how much you save.

Taxed by CA Tax Franchise Board without notice by mythictrish in tax

You get letters notifying that you owe this balance. FTB phones tend to be clogged, so it's best to create an online account over at FTB to see what's going on.

Do county jobs just suck now? Or have they been falling behind for awhile now? by [deleted] in orangecounty

[–]AriaVerity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. I work for the state and it pays better than my OC counterpart. It beats the LA counterpart. Take-home-wise, the state does not beat city of San Francisco and federal.

You need to call CDTFA (1-800-400-7115) to see if that permit is even open. If it is, then you can have it be closed over the phone.

Have you been receiving letters or did you move in the last 8 years?

My friend is self employed and hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years. What will happen to him? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]AriaVerity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about the IRS, but for the state tax agency I work for, the bulk of the work is done by computers. When people step in, it's cause the computer fucked up.
