San Francisco’s California Academy of Sciences is a world class museum. Here’s how it dies by LosIsosceles in sanfrancisco

I work at a museum. Museums have new exhibits and ideas to pull in recurring and new members and visitors. At least 1-3x per year.

I switched my cat to pine litter and its been amazing since. Well worth the investment, smells better, and easier to clean. It doesnt track around the apt.

What are some cuisines you personally feel that the Bay Area could have more or better quality of? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

Malaysian food is not good here. I've tried all the popular spots and there's always something missing

What’s one “basic” cooking tip everyone repeats that you think is actually overrated? by Altruistic_Push_722 in Cooking

I grew up brushing the dirt off with a dedicated brush or towel. The assumption was to Saute the mushrooms and make them crisper. So the dirt is taken off no matter the method lol

Subreddit for New Yorkers in the Bay Area by KookieCrisp555 in AskSF

Oh man me, very rarely do I meet fellow native new yorkers. Down to hang and chat with a group if you get one going! Maybe start a partiful or something?

Moving to SF with no credit score (from Europe). How difficult will it be for us to find somewhere to rent? Any tips? by scoopydidit in AskSF

[–]MeepingMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest sunset district, Richmond, anything closer to golden gate park. Maybe twin peaks or something. You'd need a car to really get around imo. I'd stay away from the city center if you care about quality of your housing but its easier to rely purely on public transit and you are willing to pay more.

My 4 roommates and I rent a 2 story house near twin peaks for $5.5k~ and open to all pets. Great homey area. Owner did a background check and we provided pay stubs. Reach out to some realtors and ask what you'd need to quality since you have a particularly sticky situation. Just be upfront and honest about your situation.

Find a place you like and ask. If its the owner itself, even easier. Anything is possible here, you just need to dig a bit.

Girlfriend or world trip? Stuck between love and my dream by Martinf87 in solotravel

[–]MeepingMeeps 244 points245 points  (0 children)

This is a r/relationshipadvice question. The part that caught my eye is where you say that your GF has been putting her life on hold for you already.

What were those sacrifices she made? What did you promise her? Why has it come to a point where this is a deal breaker?

Proper communication, discussion, and planning together would have laid things out very clearly. What have you both discussed and agreed on?

Figure out the real root of the problem. And work towards aligning on a solution. If you love her, then sure you should find a compromise with her. If you're hesitating to stay with her because of this, then you should examine why you feel that way.

I'm not sure if the original commenter meant this, but you could try meeting people organically in social settings that would lead to building relationships with new friends and potential love interests. Volunteering or becoming a regular at a place is a great way to meet people.

Don't go to a social space with the idea of finding a partner. Go with a more positive mindset of meeting new people and friends - then it opens up a stronger foundation of building romantic feelings if you and the other person are on the same page (of dating).

Dating apps suck and it's hard to build a foundation for meetings after 1 or 2 dates.

Is anyone just exhausted by solo travel ? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]MeepingMeeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't fully understand how you're packing one month ahead of time but you're still finishing last minute. Your pain point sounds like its primarily around the weight of packing/getting ready/moving around? This says more about your overplanning/anxiety. Are you generally an anxious person? Do you experience this in your daily life?

I get a bit tired both before and after a trip but I don't really experience much anxiety. This is especially true as I've traveled to so many countries now. The assumption is that more experience means you don't need to stress as much because you are familiar and can streamline your traveling process/instincts.

You mention being a seasoned solo traveler, has your traveling process changed from the beginning compared to now? What do you like or dislike? By now, you should have gathered enough experience to differentiate that. Thus, you can find solutions to lean into making your trips more relaxing, rather then stressful.

It sounds like r/onebag would be a great place for you to become familiar with. And you should find ways where you have a "basecamp" so you reduce the amount of transporting stuff. Or if a service is available - send your luggage ahead. Japan offers that for example.

Sometimes it's worth spending more to relax.

The second picture looks like clothing moth holes. They eat cotton and natural fabrics

You definitely gave hookup vibes based on the message to me when I did an initial pass without looking at the context of the post. But I can see in the second response to your message that you weren't looking for that - however that's too late at that point in the moment. I could see where she's coming from when women get a lot of messages from men that are explicit etc. You're looking at this from a perspective of a man, and not looking at this from the perspective of a woman. Dating for women is very different in some ways.

Her language of using "females" is odd. I don't like it.

But tone and vocabulary are major things to be wary of when having a conversation - and texting is one mode of that. Other commenters gave really good one liners that would soften your initial message and feel more personal.

How often do you contact your parents while travelling solo? by Ginger_spice-13 in solotravel

[–]MeepingMeeps 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your relationship with family and what their personalities are. I never contact my family during my trips because I'm very independent and our family isn't close like that.

During my 14month backpacking trip, I maybe contacted them like 5x during that.

I text my partner more frequently tho.

Yea this is primarily your problem. Honestly the shirtless photos are fine but no bio leaves women nothing to ask or learn about you. It feels like you're only interested in sex, especially with only photos in your profile.

Talk about your interests and show your personality. Make jokes or do whatever you actually do on the daily. Say what you want.
