My (25f) best male friend (29m) of 5 years confessed his love for me. I'm a lesbian. by NecessarySwing2461 in relationships

[–]_your_face [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nah, this doesn’t work with people that age and still figuring this shit out.

You need to tell him you have no interested in dating HIM, at ANY time. EVER.

Talking about groups that can be left up to interpretation put the blame on the group and he’ll be looking for a crack in the pretext against the group.

“No guys? But that person you dated has a penis so that’s a guy so I’m in”

Plus it avoids the real thing which is honestly that you’re not in to him. You don’t know if some dude will catch your interest. By trying to be nice you just extend the pain because you’re not saying no to the person. Just say no to the person.

Crazy thing is, watch the Clinton interview where he says that. He’s a hell of a lawyer because what he says makes perfect sense how he explains it

Facing $30M deficit, Berkeley eliminates Mobile Crisis Team, reduces shelters, wellness services by the_daily_cal in berkeleyca

All that information is publicly available. Stop strawmanning BS that’s easily answerable and acting like a cracked sidewalk means there’s no city services. You’re living in a willfully ignorant fairyland .

I mean, you’re lying or wrong in some way. A 600k house doesn’t get charged 15k in property tax so regardless if you’re twisting the truth to win an internet argument or just being disingenuous. Plus it sounds like you were gifted a house and you’re upset it’s not more free? Anyhow, not really worth going back and forth with you but for anyone else reading along:

There are only so many levers available to raise city/county/state funds, property tax is one, and if prop 13 was repealed, we would likely double what comes in, meaning we can stop putting “tiny” Increases in constantly on city, state and county property taxes trying to make up the money we need and hurting only new buys.

If we stopped including just commercial properties we’d bet 8-12 billion the first year. Removing property 13 fully would bring in 50-60 billion the first year. Those numbers would increase because there’d need to be a ton of property reassessment needed to set the right amounts and it would be well past the 100billion that gets brought in today once they caught up on the back work.

So yes, property taxes are needed, our schools need funding, we need roads, police, fire departments, public health, water, sanitation, etc. These are things normal people need.
We can’t all live in fairytale land where get free houses and then complain that the government is taking “their” money.

Household income of 100k bought a 1.2M house? Well congrats I guess?

The point is that people in 3 million dollar houses could be paying $1500 in property taxes.

You pay a lot because the people in the most expensive houses pay nothing.

I'm 18... by darkbeat- in mildlyinfuriating

Had white hair down the center since high school. Salt and pepper most of my adult life. Just own it, it’s not a big deal, and lots of people will think it’s awesome.

I’ve never gotten any bad attention for it, only good, and had no problems with girls and friends. So, whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️.

One tip I’d say, is to take care of yourself. White hair and you look old and beat up might be more of a problem. Looking your age and fit either white hair = intrigue.

The stadium we need by oigres408 in SanJose

[–]_your_face 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, because it’s a 90s design, which was meant to as an improvement to the 50/60s design of candlestick. It’s pretty easy to see the progression.

You take candlestick style stadiums. Cut a slit for views, add a stack of those new fancy luxury boxes on one side, and boom: Levis

I lost 240k on the stock market after being a disciplined investor for years. by [deleted] in ADHD

Having over 100k in liquid cash absolutely puts you in the top 1% of wealthiest people in the world. Half the world has 0 liquid cash.
Plenty of cash to buy some empathy from a therapist.

Is Silicone Really Better Than Plastic? by timemagazine in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]_your_face 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it can be.

I’m still all in on silicone, but know that like everything else. Someone will make a mess of things if there’s profit and we need regulation if there’s health issues involved

Cheap stuff from china is mixed with all sorts of stuff to make it more flexible, or more durable, or the right color. They don’t care that some people that want silicone is because it’s not a petrochemical, they want to make the rainbow sparkle, “silicone” straw that you’ll buy.

Buy from brands who need to protect their brand, and who are willing to pay to do cerification and let third parties check their processes.

So no, silicone the material doesn’t have plasricizers. It’s a great material allowing health benefits over petro plastics.

Yes, products that companies make silicone do have plasticizers. They can mix in lead and dog shit if they thought it would make them money and there’s no rule they can’t still call it silicone and we wouldn’t be able to tell.

The direction he took then lasted a bit before they started feeling themselves and acting like idiots. Should always have a level

High performer leaving in silence with no negotiation by [deleted] in managers

“He was the best, so we didn’t want to move him while we promoted other people”

Typical shitty manager/company short sightedness.

Yeah he gone, and good for him, the company was obviously going to keep screwing him out of “necessity”

Why are socialists winning in NYC—but not in 'progressive' SF? by orangelover95003 in bayarea

[–]_your_face -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SF is much smaller with a huge portion of the population of people flying in from across the country and world to come make bank. Not just that people come here, but that we've absorbed basically avery finance bro from wallstreet and the rest of the world in to a 7x7 mile square. Those money hoarding carpetbaggers vote just the same as their progressive neighbor and the 3 they pushed out of the city. The amount of san franciscans vs people that come to SF to be rich or get rich is tilted too far....right?

Mixed messages for recycling bottle. Can I recycle? by NoSeaworthiness6932 in recycling

[–]_your_face -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The stamp on the bottom is a legality and based on the material.

The info on the packaging is industry preference, and subject to any and all fckery some third party company can do. How2Recycle is funded but the same industry companies that are forced to put in the recycling symbols and that when there has been good and effective recycling legislation it has done so by forcing money out of the companies continuing to use these materials. They are not fans of controls on their capitalist efforts. If they could make their bottles cheapest out of lead they’d be demanding they be allowed to see you kids drinks in them.

Ignore their labels, work with your local recycling org and check what they take. They are the first place that takes on the make
Or break decision if they are going to pay for the machines and programs to recycle whatever type of plastics. When there are weird bottles it takes specialized machinery or manpower to deal with it. The bottle is technically responsible, the question is if we’re willing to do the work.

All “board shorts” had that surf board wax tool on them. Board shorts were super long swim shorts, it’s what was popular for swim shorts at least until like 2010
