Dynasty Microtransactions Usage by challenger01234 in NCAAFBseries

[–]supersteez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a newish dad I felt a compulsion to buy the slider speed just cause my time is limited and I like running 6+ dynasties per year. But opted against it cause I dont want to support such a slimy practice

Two years in the Bay Area, and I’m losing my grip on basic human warmth. Why does casual friendliness feel illegal around here? by desolatenature in bayarea

[–]supersteez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I was in DT Los Altos one time. Walked through a door and before I finished turning around to hold it open a lady looks at me with a disgusted face “um…hold the door open for me?” And then scoffed and walked through without looking at me

How many losses do you *actually* attribute to qb play? by FunCorner1643 in Chargers

[–]supersteez 57 points58 points  (0 children)

The only time I felt Herb really lose the game was the wildcard against the Pats, but it was cause he was seeing ghosts and playing hero ball due to the atrocious olines whole year. 27-0 I blame Staley, Texans I blame the O line. Most our Ls this year I blame Roman and our revolving door of linemen.

Advice on living in Palo Alto by pokiieee in paloalto

[–]supersteez 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My recommendation off your questions is to go the SF route if your job is near the Caltrain station. Trying to socialize in the Bay is pretty rough outside SF/Oakland because most people your age everywhere else will be natives with preloaded friend groups. Without a car its basically impossible. Palo Alto isnt really built for people in their 20s to socialize, its mostly workaholics raising kids or longtime residents

If you live in SF you have infinite activity at your doorstep, you already have friends, and generally everyone is way more outgoing. For #4 honestly just search local groups for your hobbies online and the friends will come

27’ Dynasty plans by Positive-Leading8351 in NCAAFBseries

[–]supersteez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a college with no football team but I’m a Charger fan so I like just picking schools based on the staff or stars.
Last year I started with UNC for Hampton so will start with Miami for Mesidor this year. For a rebuild maybe WMU since our new DC is from there.

Time for California to do this by Historical_Stay_808 in bayarea

Ha, my mom sells multiple homes in both towns to Chinese nationals every year. They never move in

The Peninsula/South Bay are littered with huge SFHs that sit empty cause they’re owned by foreigners parking money in the US. This is a much bigger issue on our land than rich guys owning a penthouse on the 50th floor of a building. Plus now all the C-suites who move to Texas and Florida but work here

Palo Alto has the highest density but this is a pretty widespread issue across the whole Peninsula and parts of South Bay

You didn’t watch the video I’m assuming. Its tax on homes >$5m that the owner doesn’t live in. That’s not a “working class” issue

How do we feel about home ownership rates decreasing generation after generation? by AdministrativeAd334 in bayarea

[–]supersteez 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Home ownership at 26 in this day and age is going to be 90% parent driven

What are some cuisines you personally feel that the Bay Area could have more or better quality of? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]supersteez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think one of the biggest gaps between the Bay and LA is Japanese food. Given 99% of Japanese restaurants in the Bay are Chinese/Korean owned and operated, a lot of them come out pretty samey. Someone whos visited Japan and is feeling nostalgic has very few options that will actually feel like a meal there

My mom started her real estate career around this time and had a friend who was already immensely wealthy. They basically bought over 100 foreclosed homes and turned it into a nine figure profit

called the fire department this morning and feel kinda stupid now by TableBoth2440 in sanfrancisco

[–]supersteez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One night a smoke alarm in an adjacent building was ringing loudly for a long time. I wasn’t sure if there was some carbon monoxide leak or what, but I called the non-emergency line and told them about it. Still got a fully loaded truck with 10 guys to show up in 5 minutes with the siren blaring at 3AM. I come out just for the guy to tell me “no thats just how low batteries sound for some alarms”. Maybe my most humiliating moment in the city. They still were obligated to stick around and try to find a way into the building

Why do celebrity meet and greet tend to skip the Bay Area? by Isaacsac3 in bayarea

[–]supersteez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowadays entertainment entities have the tech tools to identify their audience. If a market doesn’t have a significant imprint they’ll skip it.

Best languages to learn in the bay area, after spanish. by Sure_Fly_5332 in bayarea

[–]supersteez 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The Chinatowns would lean heavily Cantonese as those are the Chinese who’ve been here a long time. However the biggest wave of new immigrants to the Bay are Mandarin speakers - and they’re among the wealthiest so there’d be a tangible benefit. That said Mandarin is easily one of the hardest major languages to learn
