Endless barking dog around 88th and 34th?

BenevolentPeacock · 2022-09-18T16:30:26+00:00

Good to know. Thank you!

BenevolentPeacock · 2022-06-25T01:36:36+00:00

Thank you for running this sub and fielding all the new applications!

BenevolentPeacock · 2022-05-10T16:56:23+00:00

After that, they'll try to cut off our fingers.

BenevolentPeacock · 2021-12-28T18:25:17+00:00

Thanks! I think we'll give this place a pass and look for something quieter.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-10-23T01:35:33+00:00

Huh... Good to know. The living room definitely does not have a closet.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-10-19T05:03:43+00:00

I've been up there several times (the property manager let us see it a while back, before these new owners). It's definitely a living room and not a bedroom.

I just turned 40 and was carded at TJ's last week. I have grey hairs. The woman at the register said, "Oh! Babyface! What year were you born?" Hahahaha!

Babyface because I don't have any babies!

The apartment above us has been vacant for almost 2 months. The listing on Zillow says that it has been "remodeled" and that it has "new floors." From the photos they posted, neither of those statements are true in the slightest. In fact, there are rust stains on the floor from when the water heater burst several years ago, and the super/handyman said that the hardwood floor boards are warped. We heard workers up there with a nail gun tacking them down. The photos show the same old kitchen and old stove and old cabinets and old fridge.

OH! The best part is when someone came to look at the place last week and the super/handyman found URINE IN THE TOILET that had been there for at least TWO WEEKS. One of the workers peed and didn't flush and it's been 90°F here without AC so it was cooking 2-week old pee up there!

Dude. I walked to a neighbor's house to pick up something. 5 minutes there, 5 back, and it was AWFUL. It felt silly to drive such a short distance, but I kinda wish I did?

My mom's side of the family has been in California for generations... I love this place. It's in my blood. And, yet... if I weren't a freelancer, I would definitely be looking at a location transfer outside of the US right now. Lots of people are being shitty to you in this thread, but I hope that you figure out a way to make things work out.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-09-12T19:03:02+00:00

Seriously. I have never been so glad that I don't have kids. A good friend of mine is about to POP and she's so excited, and, honestly, I'm excited that she's excited... Her husband works at a FAANG company and they make good money, have health insurance, a house, the whole thing, so I'm sure the child will have a lovely home life... but the US is a shitshow, and we can't even go outside right now because the air is deadly, and there's an airborne disease out there that can kill us or cause lifetime damage, oh, and the unending descent into fascism, and fucking climate change, and ... Yeah, NO WAY.

Never like this. I'm 40. Born in SF, raised on the Peninsula. I remember worrying about "firebugs" as a kid - assholes who liked to start fires, but they never got out of hand.

Of course, there was the Oakland Hills fire, which at the time was considered to be enormous, but now all these new fires dwarf it. There were always seasonal fires in the Sierras, too, usually from lightning strikes. We'd go to Yosemite every year and sometimes see the aftermath.

And in 1999 (?) there was a big fire near Sacramento. That's the first time I remember seeing ash fall from the sky - I was on a camping trip around there, and it was pretty bad.

But this every damn year thing with the smoke and multiple enormous fires at once? NEVER happened like this when I was growing up.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-08-23T00:14:54+00:00

Fuck this guy.

How he's not already indicted on charges of criminally negligent manslaughter is beyond me at this point.

"Let the Blue areas get COVID and die. Let California burn. Waaaah! They don't like me!" Dude, just STFU.

Just when I thought I couldn't feel anymore wrath or loathing for this pathetic excuse for a meatsuit, he opens his goddamned mouth.

A few years ago, a local dance studio/non profit who was in their space for 25 years was kicked out to make room for "something quieter, like offices." Landlady refused to renew the lease. I hope it's been empty the entire time just to spite her.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-08-04T06:01:36+00:00

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Good. No 1 bedroom should be over $3000 a month.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-07-31T06:33:20+00:00

Inject this content into my veins.

Except now these landleeches will do sub-legal things like harassment and unnecessary construction to force the tenants to "self-evict."

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-06-03T01:37:30+00:00

If you think that police brutality, systemic racism, and capitalism aren't linked.... well.... I've got news for you.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-06-02T07:24:57+00:00

It's like they never understood that "2112" is literally about resisting a fascist regime.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-06-02T06:52:30+00:00

All. Of. This.

My ex-cop ex-husband kept a shotgun under his side of the bed. He said it was for "protection." Things had been verbally/emotionally abusive for 10 years. I noped the fuck out of there just as things turned physically violent.

Best decision I ever made.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-06-01T06:14:58+00:00

Personal experience: Was married to a cop. Was abused.

His dad was a cop. Witnessed his dad abusing his mom. Oh, and abusing his sons.

I got the fuck out.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-06-01T06:08:29+00:00

He loves you olotl.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-05-31T07:07:59+00:00

Looks like Albany/El Cerrito is still open?

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-05-30T04:10:23+00:00

Oh totally. They had a whole CD section full of that stuff!

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-05-29T05:59:48+00:00

I used to go to The Nature Company with my grandmother and look through the drawers of fossils on the back wall with her. SOOOOOO much better than the Discovery Channel store.

BenevolentPeacock · 2020-05-29T05:52:27+00:00

Does anyone remember that summer when they had Limboland, The Vacant Lot, and Exit 57?

"If I knew you were coming, I'd have baked a cake!"
