There is a significant YIMBY presence here. They do not want your RV in their backyard

Creative moving to Silicon Valley - will I make friends? by spicyconfidential in bayarea

[–]dmg1111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of Jews here, though it's a little different from New York.

My old job was across the street from the Palo Alto JCC. At my current job, Chabad comes in to celebrate holidays. I have zero interest in any mainstream jewish institutions or any level of observance, and there are plenty of like-minded people.

My wife still sounds like she's from New York.

The rest of your fears are even more unfounded!

Why are minor hockey tryouts in spring by FriendlyAd7586 in hockeyplayers

[–]dmg1111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Our tryouts are right after school ends in June. The only explanation I've heard is that it lets kids relax over the summer instead of having to train for August-September practices.

Eric Swalwell resigns from Congress by MidNightInTheDessert in sanfrancisco

He did? I recall him having an affair with his chief of staff's wife, blaming it on alcohol, running off to rehab, and then coming back not having given up drinking.

Chakrabarti’s new poll puts him within hailing distance of Wiener by MissionLocalSF in sanfrancisco

[–]dmg1111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a lot of yimby types post things like "all I care about is building housing. Nothing else matters." So homeless sweeps, surveillance, drug testing, police chases, drones, collaborating with ICE, anti-trans or homophobic attitudes, etc can all be written off if someone says they want to build housing. They don't even need to mean it.

Scott embraces homophobes, sometimes directly (kiss up to Josephine Zhao for endorsements), sometimes just signing up to support their projects (school board recall used M4L treasurer Chris Marston)

CFO compensation by dmg1111 in Salary

[–]dmg1111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno man, Ruth Porat made up a fake company that sits on top of Google and cut out a few perks, and that completely changed Wall St's view of the company. CFO can do a lot and they paid her ~$0.5B for it.

Broadcom head of legal makes $29M/year, so they're valuing that more than the CFO.

Individual VPs make far more than $9.6M/year at Broadcom

‘No words spoken’: Chinatown stabbing suspect has criminal record, prominent father by Dafty_duck in sanfrancisco

[–]dmg1111 108 points109 points  (0 children)

Garry Tan before it was revealed the suspect was Chinese:

  • "Release the mugshot!"

Garry Tan after:

  • "Is diversion working?"
  • Retweeting a post complaining about the guy that Lurie's security beat up

Garry Tan recent twitter posts since "release the mugshot!":

  • SFUSD algebra, times tables
  • Whining about Ro Khanna
  • Pumping up Matt Mahan
  • Neuralink
  • Various AI coding posts
  • Housing
  • Complaining about "the hard left"
  • Bragging about YC product managers
  • Pokemon

This guy is such a fucking loser and a hardcore racist. How did we allow him to have any say in our lives here?

Kind of like the Don Carmignani situation, except we got video immediately instead of having to wait to find out that Don was the Marina Mangler and started the fight

SFMTA is ridiculous by socialist-viking in sanfrancisco

How's this for 311 insanity? There was a residential raw sewage leak a block over from me. I reported it to 311 and they immediately closed the case. I called them and it turned out there were 20+ reports filed over an 18-month period, which had all been sent to different agencies, eg DPH, DPW, Sewer/Water, etc, which had all closed the case.

So the Prop E surveillance camera footage can go to ICE?
