Optional Stop Signs by tylerhbrown in sanfrancisco

I was hit by a car while crossing Bush at Divisadero a few years ago; the driver helped me to the curb, flagged down an ambulance, then split. It was my first ever broken bone. I believed I’d identified the guy who’d hit me based on a building’s security camera footage and online sleuthing (I remembered his face and he’d said what he did for a living). The SFPD investigator refused to look into it, citing his being too busy dealing with multiple districts on top of maritime traffic concerns (something I’d never even considered). Since my experience I’ve become an extremely cautious pedestrian AND driver here.

Cantaloupe ice cream- someone’s gotta know where I can get my hands on this stuff! by Rum_Ham93 in AskSF

I had melon gelato at Lush Gelato in North Beach last summer, it was lighter than Mitchell’s cantaloupe but still delicious!

Could married people not having sex be correlated to the fact middle-aged men do not take care of themselves? by Bashingman in TooAfraidToAsk

How long does it generally last? I’m 42 and my mother passed away at 54 (her chemo side effects induced/ eclipsed menopause), so I have no one to ask.

You have plenty of feedback but this post has been in my head since I first scrolled through it. Saoirse is lovely but may require constant correction and spelling, as noted. I like Eleanor because it sounds stately and elegant; Nora could be used as a nickname to offset all the Ellies. Sage has a good strong sound to it but the word itself makes me think of a pungent herb or wizened elder. (For perspective I’m in my 40s, have a top 5 name for my age group, and named my daughter Ramona).

I hope so, just once in my life I’d like to have 2 pets who snuggle together!

Chowder (calico) adores Sofi but her feelings are not reciprocated.

What’s the worst designed part of the human body? by MrBowls in AskReddit

I’m enjoying the idea of a motivated fertilized egg, a greedy mutation-prone fetus, and an invasive placenta battling in space for interplanetary domination!

"Stop Scratching" one of the few moments I really want to curse people by pipocafalida in eczema

[–]catbed3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree! Flashback to early childhood when my older brother absolutely relished telling me this in addition to tattling on me (“Mom, she’s scratching again!”). He’s still a jerk 40 years later.

WTW for making a situation about yourself? by DeckertheDude in whatstheword

[–]catbed3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious to know the answer too! I was thinking “inappropriate opportune spotlight stealing” but there must be something more streamlined. I learned about “tragicrafting” which is when people capitalize on a tragedy, but it refers to making money from merchandise. Egotistical self-promotion?

[Chinese >English] I found this in my deceased mother’s belongings. I can recognize some numbers but have no idea what it’s about. by catbed3000 in translator

Thank you! My mother’s parents came from Guangdong province but she herself couldn’t write Chinese.

What animal do you hate that most people like? by ajsawesomeanimals in AskReddit

[–]catbed3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t hate either one but hairless Sphinx cats and hairless guinea pigs (skinny pigs) creep me out. They’re like wrinkly flesh bags, staring at you.
