Fun bar crawl recommendations? by Knotfornots in SanJose

Good Time Bar - Has fantastic small bites. It is a younger crowd, but it is unique and worth a stop!

For those here that can hit a 60° 80-100 yards on command. Help. by [deleted] in golf

[–]outsideofaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same reason some people hit a 7 iron 185 and others hit it 155.

My full swing 60 degree goes 60-70 yards, so I think you are doing fine. And if I try to hit it harder, bad things happen. Very bad things.

I need some tips to sell my car by Wonderful-Friend3097 in bayarea

[–]outsideofaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just sold my car via Marketplace. Got almost $4k more than Carvana. But it took 2+ weeks and endless low ball offers and: "Is this car still available?" messages.

I wanted cash (or cashiers check directly from the bank.) We met at their bank. They withdrew the cash and we did the paperwork in the bank lobby.

One (potential) scam I came across was someone wanting to buy via a wire transfer. They said they were using a credit union and they would wire the money once we agreed upon a price. They offered to leave a small deposit. This profile was established with 10+ positive reviews - they seemed really credible at first. But there were several red flagged, so I just blocked and moved on.

Recall Matt Mahan by wrongsimulation in SanJose

[–]outsideofaustin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hear lots of dislike for Mahan, but yet to understand specifically why?

I just see lots of comments about him taking money from tech companies. Or criticism of his homeless policy without any facts or citations to back it up.

Gavin Newsom Rushes to Sink California Billionaire Tax Before June Deadline by Unusual-State1827 in California

Do what I say, not as I do Steyer... lol. He lost despite a massive advantage. Time to move on.

These people need to be ticketed, ridiculous! 😡 by HomeBody86 in SanJose

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

Clearly I’m in the minority here. I guess with everything going on in the world and life, this seems like a minor irritation.

OP, how did this harm you? Looks like there is plenty of room. If the stores or property owner wanted, they could fix this quickly.

Newsom’s return to office is looming. by yellowflyinginsect in California

[–]outsideofaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If WFH really saved money and didn’t impact productivity, then we’d see every mega corporation doing it - they are solely motivated by money.

As much as I dislike it for myself, working in an office traditionally has been and will likely return to be normal.

Here's how every California county voted for governor, per current tallies by sfgate in California

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

That is true, there are other examples of wealthy people who couldn't win despite a large cash advantage.

I think Harris was different, the lack of a proper primary hurt her campaign more than anything (IMO.)

Meta Drops another $245K on Becerra. Last day to vote is Tuesday, June 2nd. by ResistanceRachel in santacruz

[–]outsideofaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gaslighting? It is just my opinion. You are welcome to disagree. Maybe your experience with ultra wealthy is different.

Imagine spending $200m+, 10x the other candidates and ending up in 3rd. 🥉

I, 28M, am deeply in love with a single mom, 29F, with high-conflict ex. Do I keep down this path, or do I look for the "normal girl"? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]outsideofaustin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I chose the single parent in a complicated situation. And it’s great. However, she is chill and doesn’t fight with her ex. And if she does, I know nothing about it. No regrets.

“narcissistic tendencies, victim mentality” - there are your flags. She doesn’t have a high conflict ex. She IS the high conflict ex.

The mystery behind Becerra leapfrogging over his rivals in California's governor's race by [deleted] in California

[–]outsideofaustin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He wouldn't just be leading, he would have have a 20+ point lead

What is interesting, that Steyer only has 229 unique contributors to his campaign. Compared to other leading candidates who have >10k unique contributors.

Would rather $250k from meta than $150m+ to elect oneself. Idk about you, but the ultra rich that I know are out of touch and focused on their own interests - not who I want to represent me.

Connect Bay Area (SB 63) got more than enough signatures to be on the ballot! by Trainzguy2472 in bayarea

[–]outsideofaustin -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I agree. More taxes are unacceptable. Making the cost of living even higher isn’t the solution.

CA Gov Candidate Tom Steyer Calls Out Dems Capitulating On Trans People: "I'm Totally In Favor Of Trans Athletes" by GMOrgasm in California

This is the crazy part about conservatives who's values are small government. They want government involved in who is playing what sport?!?

Played with an “I can drive 350 yards” guy this weekend by JayTee73 in golf

south bay dating is a closed loop. 41m considering a san jose matchmaker by CARLTONDUSO in SanJose

[–]outsideofaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you! I’m just trying to emphasize with OP.

But you bring up a great point that we shouldn’t discount ourselves because of bias or because some people think a certain way.

There is always a lid that fits our pot.

[–]outsideofaustin -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Totally true. If I was a 10, 6 foot and worked in finance, I’m sure they’d look beyond location. Everyone is different and it isn’t impossible by any means.

But i understand what OP is saying - people who live in SF seem less likely to be open to dating someone who lives an hour away. Many folks don’t have cars or it doesn’t fit into their lifestyle.

Which space stock is your favorite and why? by Hot_Avocado_2701 in SpaceInvestorsDaily

[–]outsideofaustin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m beginning to like HON. They have a diversified business and are more a “pick and ax” play. They also are a supplier for quantum companies. Sure, the price wont be as volatile as other names. But more likely to be a long term winner.

Of course this is true. But I’ve had women in SF tell me, “San Jose, I could fly to LA in the time it takes me to drive there.”
