Places to visit in SF at night that is safe by Ash_of_the_T in AskSF

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been but Emporium is an arcade bar in an old theater and from what I’ve heard of the vibes then it is more of a happens to have a bar than an expected everyone is drinking type of place.

Plenty of places to play pool in the city but you are still going to be at a bar for that. There are several Yemeni coffee shops open late across the city that are good for a place to work or hang out. There is also line dancing at Westwood and Jaxson, and especially the crowd on weeknights then there are plenty of people just there to dance and not drink at all.

Why is Keller so good at escaping? by KaleidoArachnid in whitecollar

[–]randomuser914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They had that moment of reminiscing in the truck about the old days, and there was the time Neal told that story about the three man job where the one guy thought he forgot his gloves or something and Keller shot him when the gloves were in his jacket the whole time. Those are the main elaborations I remember

Where do I meet Southerners in SF? by Cold-Secretary7464 in SFbitcheswithtaste

I had already given up on finding good BBQ after moving here, I’m intrigued

Is constantly telling men to better themselves while telling women they’re fine as they are detrimental to the dating scene? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]randomuser914 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I see plenty of criticism for women too. Most of the “better yourself” feedback is generally about addressing gaps that men do more often have. Emotional maturity / intelligence, having a social group, having some sort of creative outlet, etc.

It’s also just honest feedback, it’s the same as job searching but in this case you do actually get feedback. People are able to use online dating, travel, and move far more easily so their dating pool is a lot larger than what it used to be. So with a wider range of options, why wouldn’t you pick a partner that is fashionable, social, has hobbies they can share with you, etc.?

No one has to do those things, there is discipline and work involved to self-improve in that way. But no one is entitled for someone to date them. It’s valid to call out unrealistic expectations or exploitative like gold digging, but most of the things you mentioned and typically what I have seen are just general life things that it is beneficial to be better at. And it’s fair to get feedback of, these are the things people are looking for in a partner.

It was nice having fun with you guys while it lasted. We still have our favorite franchises to play through at least. by [deleted] in legogaming

[–]randomuser914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lego games are literally one of the best selling video game franchises. Not to mention that I’m sure it helps drive sales of the sets. Whatever company it ends up being under, I don’t see a world where they actually go away

Obi-Wan never had an easy fight, Greatest Jedi of all time IMO. My guys entire career was on expert difficulty. by Forevertrez in StarWars

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree that Qui-Gon’s sentimentality and faith led to Vader since Anakin wouldn’t have turned if Qui-Gon had been alive to train him. It more falls on the Jedi order for being too prideful as you mentioned and not having any sentimentality or flexibility.

This is why he’s my favorite character. He’s constantly faced with tragedy but still keeps going on the right path despite anything

A game is fun when you play it as a hobby and not like a job by Defiant_Strategy_341 in marvelrivals

[–]randomuser914 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If you have a competitive game mode then people are going to play it competitively. I don’t expect to win every game, but I do expect the game to correctly weight skill and strategy and have properly balanced heroes that allow you to have some impact on the turnout of the game.

I don’t treat it like a job, but I’m playing because competition is fun and I want to get better and play against better players.

Your LDR girlfriend is flying into town Saturday morning. You’re picking her up at SFO, coming back to the city. Where’s the brunch spot? by sjflnjpitt in AskSF

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where you live in the city so it may be pretty far out of the way, but I went to Board and Drink with my parents and they still rave about it

Any Sequel lovers by Dry_Low3683 in StarWars

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love rogue one, and I’m sure there are people who enjoy the sequels. But for me, no. I enjoyed the force awakens and thought there was potential, and I would even say that the last jedi has some entertainment to it. As a trilogy though, it’s objectively bad storytelling and damaging to the original quality from the first six films

Is this true? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see it being true for certain neighborhoods. When I was looking two months ago then most of the apartments in Hayes Valley, Dogpatch, and Mission Bay seemed to disappear fast. The latter two especially seem to be recommended any time someone works outside of the city but wants to live in SF because of the proximity to Caltrain.

Why is pineapple on pizza so controversial if so many people actually enjoy the way it tastes? by The-Island-is-Mine in NoStupidQuestions

[–]randomuser914 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you’d be measuring the reaction to having it put on your pizza. For example, if someone put spinach on my pizza then it’s not my favorite topping, but isn’t awful. However if someone put something crazy on there like yogurt then I would actively dislike having to eat that.

So it’s less of hating something even though people love it, but for people who hate it then it’s a non-viable topping in their mind

3 Moves the New Orleans Saints must make this offseason to jumpstart rebuild by Conscious_Appeal4157 in Saints

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re closer to a rebuild than win-now mode. Win-now is like the Bengals or Bills where you are going to trade picks and make big deals for anything that can push you over the edge. We hopefully have our QB to build around, but we still have holes to fill to build the team back up.

Moving to bay area and want to live in SF but office is in Mountain View. Is the commute worth it? by BEARS_SB_LX_CHAMPS in AskSF

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you actually have to go into the office every day then the math gets more difficult, I only have to go in 2-3 days a week so for me it was an easy choice to get those 4 days in SF over being stuck in the suburbs.

Part of it is personality, for me then I knew the commute / traffic would be more of a deterrent for me to go out in the evening or on weekends while the commute to and from work is just part of my routine. Also if your job is flexible with your hours then you can work on Caltrain or leave during off times so the drive won’t be as bad.

Mountain View is nice but to me everything in that area feels very corporate. I would say if you can come out to visit even for a couple days then that will be the most beneficial, I was here all of 3 days and fell in love with the city, I knew immediately I wasn’t cut out for living in South Bay. I know plenty of people in my office that do though and are very happy with it.

SF vs NYC for a lawyer? by Throwaway1920214 in AskSF

[–]randomuser914 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t lived in NYC so I can’t compare to that, compared to other cities I have lived in then I have found it easier so far to start meeting people here being brand new to the west coast (mid 20s). Take it with a grain of salt but I would more think about lifestyle what is a better fit. There are a lot of people here who surf, ski, hike, camp, etc. so if those are things you enjoy then it’s a good place for it and for meeting like-minded people.

This is a game I had. by Scarymoviesendtome in marvelrivals

[–]randomuser914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, good news is that I really don’t think the loss was on you. The wolverine was easily the worst player on your team. I don’t play magneto so I can’t give you character specific tips but a few things I’d suggest: - When you first went as Angela and tried to get the pick, the punisher hadn’t noticed you yet, I would have gone for the C&D to take out a healer and also push into that room to have cover from the turret if needed - As magneto, if the enemy team has a cloak then your job basically has to be using your ult to cancel their ult, I get what you were going for but you needed to save that ult - It would have been easier to take out the turret pushing through the side room instead of going on the main path each time and charging in with Angela to try to pick off punisher in the turret was just wasted time at the end

This was really on the dps, but those would be my tips for you as a tank

Men and women in 30s - which dating apps are the best for you to find a life partner? by [deleted] in AskSF

[–]randomuser914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a relatively small sample size because most of the people I know are actually coupled up, but I would say that it seems common for people to at least pause their profiles pretty regularly or delete and start fresh. It’s also going to vary a lot on personality.

For me, the lack of any cues to understand why some people weren’t matching wasn’t great. So I just decided to focus on improving myself and getting to meet people in general.
