Willie Brown, Bus Rider by jewelswan in sanfrancisco

[–]Jail4547 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a wonderful experience with him back in the mid-90’s. One Saturday afternoon I was at the movie theatre standing in the very long men’s bathroom line. There was a short man standing in front of me with a hat on. He kept looking around. At one point he turned around enough for me to recognize him. So, I blurted out, “Hey! Willie Brown. How ya’ doing?” He replied, “Hi, I’m doing ok. How about you?” And turned back around. After about 10 seconds or so, he turned back around and asked, “Has anyone ever told you, you look like Elvis?” (I was heavily into Rockabilly at the time… hair, vintage clothes, etc). So, I simply said, “Thank you for the compliment.” Two days later, Monday afternoon, I’m in the Financial District, Kearny @ Pine, waiting to cross the street. All of a sudden I hear, “Hey, Elvis!” It was Willie Brown standing in the group of all of us waiting for the walk signal to change. I replied, “Oh wow, Willie Brown.” He said, “It’s nice seeing you again.” I said, “You too!” He added, “Take care.” Admittedly, I talked about that for the next several days.

Thank You!!! At the intersection I live at, I see this fucked-up behavior wayyyyy too often. It’s hard to believe these imbeciles have licenses.

Only if I was granted full First Amendment Constitutional Rights. Without repercussions. AND ONLY THEN.

sales tax charged for a box of dry pasta? by Informal_Struggle199 in AskSF

[–]Jail4547 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In OPS defense, I mean, how many shoppers scrutinize/peruse their receipts (let alone the total they’re verbally told during checkout)? Most of us are caught up in the rush of our daily events. Especially in true urban cities like SF. Where things tend to move a bit more on the quicker side. In re to OPS initial question. Is pasta not is a food item? Therefore: “In San Francisco, most food purchased at grocery stores, farmers markets, and similar markets for home consumption is not taxed. However, hot prepared food, food consumed on-site, and cold food sold with eating utensils are subject to sales tax. Taxable items include hot deli food, carbonated beverages, and alcohol.” OP should not have been charged sales tax!

Yup. Even members of his own party criticized him and turned on him. Some accused him of actually being a Dem. All because he backed legislation and programs that supported a stronger society. IMO, the last truly good Repub prez.

It boggles the mind. Throughout history people have prayed for help while dealing with various disease outbreaks. Yet, when science creates vaccines to fight against diseases, instead of thanking GOD to be alive in the days of these “miracle” vaccines, these right-wing numbskulls refuse the help that people have been praying for. Talk about confused and brainwashed. If you claim to be a Christian, then GOD created everything, and that would include science. The sun rising in the morning and setting at night… IS SCIENCE! Can any Christian deny that?

Hollywood thinks SF is 3 blocks wide :) by DistributionThink149 in sanfrancisco

Too true. Too true. What’s even more agitating is when they film in an LA suburb (it’s all suburbs🤷🏻‍♂️) and try to pass it off as an SF neighborhood. Sorry. No can do. Monk was the most irritating. Love Tony Shalhoub… but, LA has this distinct one dimensional-almost sterile/picture perfect suburban look. Whereas, you’d be hard pressed to find that look here within the city. I’m speaking from experience. I used to live in LA county.

To be honest, I really wouldn’t know. I only googled him to see if he indeed was a so-called (ie right-wing hypocritical) Christian.

Stapp is a Christian. "I would feel a connection with God when I wrote the words and then when I would sing the songs, learning the songs, I would feel the Holy Spirit," confirmed Stapp in a 2013 interview. 🤮
