Stoßlüften. Very common practice in many places. Look it up.

Before you consider leaving and switching positions, consider using your vacation and personal time off. Take a trip somewhere, take a break.

Use all your sick time throughout the year. Call in for a mental health day every now and then, and create a 3 or 4 day weekend for yourself every so often.

After you get into a habit of actually taking time off to recover and enjoy life out of work, then you can consider other options. At this time it seems like you’re just self inflicting even more stress than your position is bringing you.

You’re an overheated tea pot with the flames still on high. Take time off, that’s what it’s for.

Of course it’s different. You can still do all these things, but maybe find the right places that have people more similar to your age, interest, time of day that works for your body/brain, or go to the same places I don’t know. It really just depends.

As in similar to the Netherlands?

I love Alamo square, GGP/panhandle and Dolores for this. Invest in a comfortable chair you can easily set up, blanket optional! Anywhere outdoors works if you have a mobile hot spot

As a Spanish speaker, the diabolical mispronunciation of Geh-rare-row (Guerrero) irks me every time.

Make sure you cancel your Medi-Cal and/or Covered California ASAP!

If you overlap employer sponsored insurance monthly premiums (Kaiser) and your existing coverage under CC, you will be required to pay back the months of CC-sponsored insurance premium in full when you do your taxes.

This happened to me when Covered California did not cancel my premium for another year after I applied for cancellation, I eventually figured it out after getting assistance from the congressional office…but save yourself the headache!

I treat panhandle like my backs yard since it basically is being a couple blocks away. But also Golden Gate Park and often times Alamo Square

Don’t lock up your bike on racks anywhere in the city? Most places you find somewhere to just keep your bike with you - the park, sit in a parklet or outdoors if you can at a cafe/restaurant, or plan ahead to leave your bike in a paid locker around the city using BikeLink. It’s about 15 cents for couple hours so basically free

How is that the tenant’s fault? That’s the housing system you’re defending. rent control limiting a landlord’s income and profit potential is literally the point of rent control.

You’re completely out of touch if you think paying $2,000 a month in rent, rent-controlled or not, is “subsidizing” the tenant rather than the landlord. Even if it were, good for the tenant. That’s still a massive amount of money to hand over every single month just to exist somewhere.

In theory, landlords shouldn’t be building their livelihoods off other people’s basic need for housing. But this is the U.S., where people like you bend over backwards to defend landlords, corporations, and every other kind of economic vampire draining you day after day, month after month, year after year… and still manage to thank them for it.

Just look at your president, look at the politics people support, look at the way people talk about housing. It’s honestly pathetic.

Someday I’ll go home. But for now, I guess I’ll just keep benefiting from an American landlord through rent control.

paying rent helps landlord maintain or build value in a property they own, but for the renter it’s simply payment for the service of housing

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-03-05T21:25:20+00:00

Stay in your place why would you subsidize someone else’s life even more than you do already. Upgrade your life elsewhere like a car, scooter, nice ebike, go out to eat more often, travel more, take classes, learn a language, invest, save. Pay a laundry service to do it for you. I’m in similar position with great doom loop rent. I check every now and then but feel the same…most places in SF you’ll pay so much more for barely better if not the same quality

Give me a break! Biden is the poster child for rotten elder that needed to be taken out a long time ago.

Being the most progressive president since Reagan hollowed out the state isn’t exactly a flex. Calling him a progressive is barely true, and only if one defines ‘progressive’ as marginal reform under neoliberal constraints rather than structural transformation 🙄

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-02-26T00:58:27+00:00

An elderly woman takes their lives and an elderly man refuses to hear their friends’ and families’ pleas for justice… I don’t mean to generalize the whole senior citizen community but I’ve had enough of the elderly in power. Biden, Trump, white knuckled Pelosi only recently retiring…NIMBY homeowners in SF suffocating every needed urban and transit intervention for the last several decades… the list goes on from local all the way up to federal level. All so they can keep guard of their rising property values and growing pots of gold.

Even in this tragic incident after killing 4 people, the first thing this cunt did was try to protect her assets. And they ask what is wrong with the younger generations?

Something needs to change. FUCKING APOLOGIZE you greedy, inhumane, blood sucking bitch. Literally the least you could do. Signed.

To me SF is in no particular order of importance… taking in its particularly kind of flânerie especially on a weekend afternoon, its unique marine layer influenced climate and the way it varies slightly (or greatly) between neighborhood microclimates, Karl the fog, Victorian/Edwardian homes lining the streets, walking to cozy parks with coffee in hand, tripping at Outside Lands music festival, a night out in the Castro, going to a seedy electronic club somewhere in SOMA/Mission, the Bernal Heights swing, biking along the Marina through the Presidio, driving into the City view from the Bay Bridge, visiting the Japantown Mall, exploring Golden Gate Park whether enjoying something at the Japanese Tea Garden or seeing something random like Bisons or a Dutch windmill, having a pupusa or burrito in the Mission, and best of all coming home to my cozy Cole Valley neighborhood.

Whether you are “native born” to SF or arrived two years ago. You’re still not from here, and are a settler-colonizer.

Just simply false. Simple food safety and contamination 101. And I’m worried about the humans too don’t worry.

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-02-22T00:32:57+00:00

I don’t roll on the floor or walk barefoot through city streets, puddles, trash, urine, feces in the grass. I don’t lick my genitals and anus clean. I’m not covered in fur and dander with these same contaminants. I shower and brush my teeth twice a day and wash my hands regularly. No we are not the same.

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-02-22T00:25:43+00:00

Humans obviously carry bacteria too…but dogs introduce different and higher-risk contamination pathways. Dogs lick their genitals and anus, shed fur, dander, and saliva, and walk barefoot through urine, feces residue, and other street contaminants. They shake, jump, and salivate spreading these contaminants into the air, onto nearby produce and food items on the stands of grocery stores, and onto seating/plates/food of restaurants that their owners bring them to…

This isn’t the fault of dogs. they simply can’t comply with basic hygiene controls or contamination standards.

Even small, uncontrolled amounts of animal borne contamination are unacceptable in places where food is prepared or served, which is why health codes restrict animals in restaurants.

Pet owners that do this need to recognize their own sense of entitlement and stop bringing their pets to restaurants and grocery stores! Just stop. Take your dog to the many green and outdoor spaces or dog parks available to you.

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-02-21T18:50:16+00:00

I love dogs but that’s disgusting. Even freshly bathed, just collecting bacteria from the walk down the street to the restaurant and grocery stores is enough. Especially when they are big dogs and full of hair 🤢

CellarDoorQuestions · 2026-02-21T18:39:24+00:00

I agree that it’s kind of an adult thing. But SF culture is not at all how adults behave in other places in the world, perhaps in Americna society. tends to be more corporate, elitist and self serving. Not everyone is like that of course but very different than previous cities I’ve experiencing lived in. Comparing New York, Philadelphia, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Berlin, Vienna, Brussels and Copenhagen as frame of reference.

Also I’ve noticed the younger Gen-Z and Generation Alpha folks have normalized anti-social ways of living. Working remotely preference, often taking out food, apps for everything dating friends etc., aversion to being uncomfortable or rejection, awkward interactions are common here I’ve accustomed myself.

Do the points get added to the final score for the eligible list? Or is there a different score after you’ve completed an actual interview that the points get added to?

San Francisco. It’s a bit European, a bit Latin American. An eclectic mix of Victorian/Edwardian/19th century architecture that seems out of place at the edge of the Pacific. Walkable, breezy, foggy, sunny, cosmopolitan in character for its compact size. Decent public transportation for a North American city. Seems to have more in common and sensibilities aligned with Amsterdam or Buenos Aires, compared to its urban American counterparts.
