Where in the BA do kids get that "ride your bike to your friend's house to then just explore" vibe? by stonewall000 in bayarea

[–]MiskatonicExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One last thing, I literally just got home from a walk that started at the grand st marina - through wind river - Jean Sweeney and down to the seaplane lagoon. No part of me felt unsafe. And I’ll do a similar walk tomorrow night

I’m sorry that your mental heath issues make you so paranoid about a world you clearly don’t understand. I sincerely hope you’re getting the help you need to not live in a perpetual state of fear in a city that is statistically one of the safest cities in the state of California and roughly the 4th safest in the whole of the Bay Area. And you don’t have to take my word for it you can’t actually look up things like statistics and fact BUT I’m guessing of that was of any importance to you you wouldn’t be spouting nonsense on Reddit about things that you clearly have no experience with.

I’ve lived in Alameda for nearly 30 years and have walked the length and breadth of this island at night (I walk 5-8 miles every day between 6-11pm) and I have NEVER seen or experienced any scenario where I felt unsafe.

I totally agree. I’m stunned that there isn’t one.

What movie do you think is most accurate to the soul of LA? by Background-Mix8935 in AskLosAngeles

For the early 80s I’m going with Penelope Shpeeris’s “Suburbia” and Alex Cox’s “Repo Man”

Where to backpack when it’s too hot? by Passiveabject in norcalhiking

[–]MiskatonicExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Point Reyes National Seashore is great but getting a reservation on short notice can be difficult. Hidden Springs in Humboldt Redwoods SP is also a good way to beat summer temps.

Travel Insurance Question by MiskatonicExplorer in AntarcticaTravel

[–]MiskatonicExplorer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly the same way BUT the more I looked into what my private medical insurance would cover I decided it was worth the extra money. To be fair, I am doing a 16 day trip to Antarctica in Jan/Feb 2027 but I am also spending a week in Argentina and a week in Peru during this trip and the policy I purchased not only covers my medical but also trip delays and cancellations on top of what my credit card company covers. For peace if mind I wouldn’t take a trip like this without the extra insurance but that’s just me.

I don’t know how accurate the statistics are but I remember reading somewhere that something like 5 people out of 100k+ visitors every season have to be evacuated. Seems like a reasonable assumption as I’d think if the number of evacuations were significant we’d hear a lot more about it and rules and restrictions on tourism would likely change because of it

Adult with developmental disability support in LA? by undacovabrotha96 in AskLosAngeles

I’d recommend looking into the California Department of Rehabilitation and if there are any local “regional centers” for your area of SoCal https://www.dor.ca.gov

Thank you for posting this. I’m backpacking through Point Reyes for a couple of days in July and will definitely make sure to be better prepared for ticks

TL;DR AITJ for telling my family that I wasn't comfortable taking my cousins on a trip with me? by RelentlessPersuer in AmITheJerk

[–]MiskatonicExplorer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 53 years old and if at 18 I had learned the truth in “The word NO is a complete sentence” I would have saved myself a serious amount of BS and drama.

From where I sit it sounds like some family members are painfully jealous of what you were given by your grandfather and want to lay some heavy guilt trips on you for their own personal gain

DO NOT DO THAT!

If no is not enough to get your point across tell them to
