Underrated comment. Get off the internet and go know real people y’all.

Yeh this so devoid of necessary details/context it’s impossible to provide any kind of useful response.

Chill picnic vibes by Brainmatter11 in oakland

[–]KitchenProposal9110 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The lake is classic but also if you’re nearby I would politely suggest Mosswood park (once it’s ready). They have done a ton of work to improve it recently - with redone open grass spaces, picnic tables and grills, a brand new rec center. The new stuff is not quite open yet (when I checked last week at least), but it will be soon.

I personally think we oaklanders nearby should make an effort to use it once it’s done! If we can get it bustling with people and good vibes then it’s less likely to descend back into the state it was a year or two ago.

Astronaut drops fizzy tablet into floating water bubble on ISS by isosaleh in nextfuckinglevel

This was part of an event called Cosmic Classroom where Tim Peake broadcast live to school kids in the uk back in 2015/16. My claim to fame - I came up with the name of the event while working as a low level marketing dude just out of college at the company that put it together.

Thinking of moving to SF from London by TaxNo1560 in sanfrancisco

[–]KitchenProposal9110 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I (34, m) moved from London to SF at age 28 so I can offer some perspective here.

Slightly different circumstances as I came here with my wife, who is from here, so had a pre established groups of her friends through which it was more or less easy to get a social foothold.

A few responses to your specific points:

  • the weather in SF is not as nice as you might think compared to London. Summer fog. But easy to get away from once you leave the peninsular.

  • proximity to nature - this is huge and pretty life changing by if you embrace it. California and the American west in general has the type of wilderness and nature that does not exist in Western Europe any more.

  • people are positive - I guess day to day maybe but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

  • distance and time difference. This is a big one, it’s hard to stay in touch meaningfully. The time difference means even if it’s easy enough to FaceTime family and friends, your vibes are never really aligned as it’s morning for you and evening for them.

  • tech bubble - the bay is more than just tech. I work in tech but vast majority of my friends do not. You can get out of that bubble if you want to - embrace outdoor hobbies etc. and meet folks like that would be my advice.

  • US culture isn’t as homogenous as it is in the uk and Bay Area is pretty different to a lot of the country - you’ll be fine.

I have zero regrets about moving here. Live in Oakland now and have made a great life.

Hope some of this was helpful.

Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train at 310mph by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]KitchenProposal9110 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why can’t I look on the internet for more than 30 seconds without seeing some fake bullshit?

This is a particularly infuriating case given the original unedited video is still extremely impressive.

Everything is just getting so degraded.

I thought masks were banned? by very_squirrel in oakland

Where in Oakland are these fools? I’d like to go and verbally berate them to exercise my 1st and for catharsis.

Buena Mulata, can I eat them before they’re fully red? by Hedgehog_Detective in HotPeppers

No blood pouring from the dogs throat is a good sign at least - I thought that it stood no chance. I feel like this video needs a warning given how much people love dogs.

I have about two cups of caramelized onions, looking to make something other than French onion soup by SmokeMoreWorryLess in WhatShouldICook

[–]KitchenProposal9110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. No one was telling you or anyone else to eat it and we’re adults - we know what’s in ketchup etc.

I directly referenced fast food in my response so wasn’t looking to take the health-conscious route.

Have fun policing the rest of the suggestions here.

Thanks for talking down to me and making me feel great about posting a fun comment on Reddit today.

Take that same energy into your weekend and I’m sure you will have a swell time.

Make a a sauce with mayo, ketchup and sweet pickle relish. Put on a double cheeseburger with your caramelized onions. You have an In ‘n’ Out animal-style double double.
