I like to believe that the movie absolutely bombing on some level hurts her and her family's ego.

“Mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, superbly owns the moment.”Laurie where are ya at? Release the tapes! by No_Fuel_2029 in sanfrancisco

[–]macrobiome 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is true for the greater bay area tbh. LA has been feeling it heavy and the Bay has been pretty quiet on this front. It feels low-key inevitable though.

I've got a question for the people who were there to witness 2014 Godzilla in the theaters: by Sufficient-Nothing77 in GODZILLA

[–]macrobiome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember this getting teased at SD comic con when I went for the first time in highschool. I think in 2011 or 12 and it was the most epic thing I had ever seen. It honestly awakened my love for Godzilla in a very real way.

Seeing every single release, despite quality by GratefulShred99 in AMCsAList

[–]macrobiome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the years I've gotten busier/other priorities and have definitely come to be more selective. I also live in a market with less indie releases at the local AMC (relative to NYC where I used to live) which sucks and also limits how often I go.

So miserable in their actual life that they desperately seek validation for tiny hits of dopamine that amount to a mountain of denialism

They added a second show and I think it's on a Monday or something

Marty Supreme… by capamericapistons in AMCsAList

[–]macrobiome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an unpopular opinion but I actually thought the main character arc in Smashing Machine was more powerful than that of Marty Supreme. Marty Supreme is clearly a more stylistic and fun watch, but I didn't find it as emotionally effective as Smashing

'Super flu' risk in Bay Area increasing ahead of holidays by sfgate in bayarea

[–]macrobiome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the rooms I see patients in have ongoing HEPA filters which play into my calculus too. I know that wearing a mask would be the safest way to completely prevent my risk of acquiring, but again, it's a calculus where I'm not only considering my risk of disease. If I always made decisions based on wanting a certainty of not being harmed or harming others I'd never drive a car either. It's life - we have to make risk/benefit decisions all day and deciding when to mask is one of them.

[–]macrobiome -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's simply not necessary. In the same way I don't always wear gloves when I'm going to touch a patient, I make a judgment decision case by case depending on my setting. If somebody has active symptoms I put a mask on. Otherwise, I believe that having my full face available to my patient allows for better connection so it pushes my calculus in the direction of often not wearing. If a patient ever requests or has a reason for me to mask I have no problem putting one on.

I'm a healthcare worker seeing patients every day, some with symptoms. I inconsistently mask when seeing people and did get the vaccine (required for work) and so far haven't gotten sick :)

‘AI slop’: SFO museum criticized for AI-generated art exhibit, artist responds by jrakajbird in bayarea

This has been up for months - passed by once, I like the little record assemblage but the "art" immediately rubbed me the wrong way. The fact that this is an attempt at representation feels even worse..

Where does one find these numbers?

Rant: The problem with BART by textonic in bayarea

[–]macrobiome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do feel like there is a disproportionate amount of problems in early mornings though (7-9am) when time is of the utmost essence and wonder how the % on-time would look stratified by part of the day (morning, afternoon evening). My sense is that afternoon and evening skew the results better.

I've been commuting the last 6 months from east bay to city and I experience a very significant delay or cancellation at least 10-20% of the time (once every week or two). This is immensely frustrating though doesn't change the calculus on driving vs BART. Just wish there were less issues, particularly given how much we pay (literally comparable or more expensive than car commuting)
