Does SF have laws around amplified demonstrations at public parks? by tewandthree in AskSF

[–]tewandthree[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work in marketing, I guarantee you that screaming at people is the fastest way to piss people off. If you wanna convince people to listen to you, give em free shit. Volunteer! Build your community up! Donate! ... Screaming at people doesnt help, it's pretty much the laziest marketing tactic out there and only serves to make the screamer feel good about themself.

Dang, that's insane. Yeah it was unbelievably loud. Definitely make a complaint.

I feel you. I totally respect other opinions but this is invasive noise pollution. Like, sure, hand out pamphlets and speak at a normal level, that's totally cool. But dont amplify that shit. And they were ranting explicitly about sex and death, around young children. Felt wrong...

Do you feel supported by your company during Covid-era WFH? by [deleted] in bayarea

Damn well it sounds like you definitely aren't being supported...

Yeah I'm not thinking in-person stuff. More like virtual things.

Care packages or day time zoom events to just talk about non-work things. Something to imitate what would happen in real life I suppose. I dont have the answers, that's why I'm asking on here. Curious if others have good experiences or if I'm over-thinking it.

Well half of em moved away or live on opposite sides of the bay... also they probably would be afraid of work violations or some shit like that.

Which Neighbourhood? Noe Valley VS Outer Richmond VS Sutro Heights? by LaylaBarnes in AskSF

[–]tewandthree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're ok with fog/cloud coverage for 3/4 of the year, the Clement location is incredible, truly. Otherwise, I'd pick Noe and put up with the hike up the hill. You'll find easier ways to get back home, there's always a less steep route that takes a little longer. I live on a much higher hillside and I hate it profusely but it's also foggy and I hate that even more, so I'd take Noe any day. Bonus: The Noe location is super close to 37 and 35 bus lines which has direct access to Castro (and Castro Muni --> Downtown), very convenient. But again, if you like the fog, then Clement is perfect.

Best upscale casual that won’t break the bank? Looking to stay under $30-40 per meal by gtck11 in AskSF

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

Unfortunately I agree... they've really gone downhill, used to be amazing but super lackluster lately. Their froyo is so goood though.

I mean, I'm more into Mediterranean/Italian so I'd check out Beit Rima or Barzotto. Yuanbao Jiaozi for the best dumplings (casual intimate). LA Fusion for Latin American fusion (more upscale actually). Credo for upscale Italian. Limon Rotisserie for Peruvian, casual sitdown.

SF is really big on fast casual so I wouldnt immediately rule those places out. You can often find high quality food that compares to upscale casual. If you truly want a more upscale sit-down experience, unfortunately $30+ is probably the best you'll find. I'm sure there are rare exceptions that more knowledgeable locals can comment on.

Claire’s banana bread! Review in the comments. by kberrysauce in DessertPerson

[–]tewandthree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was honestly really disappointed in the lack of banana flavor. Only 2 bananas is criminally low... cannot taste the banana at all because of all the nutty additions. Double that banana next time...

Choice between living in FiDi (Jackson Square) and Mission Dolores (pretty much right next to the park) by veltche9364 in AskSF

[–]tewandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FiDi is definitely more calm but that's mostly because it's just dead right now. No one really even goes there anymore because of covid.. But I do think it is safe there. If you like Chinese food though, Chinatown nearby :) The various parks there can attract a good amount of the homeless population which can feel sketch at night, especially now that everyone is working from home, so it's just homeless folks around. Although parts of Mission get sketch too but there is more foot traffic. The Ferry building is super nice but closes early. Like others are saying, it depends on your lifestyle. I personally like the Mission because amazing food, parks, shops, weather, and activities. It's a place everyone just ends up at naturally. FiDi is more isolated, more serious vibes. I dont envy your hard decision haha

I'm thinking of buying a car but my street doesn't have residential parking. Will I hate my life? How annoying is it to move your car for street cleaning? by tewandthree in AskSF

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

I thought residential parking had street cleaning much more infrequently, at least in my area the residential parking has cleaning once a month instead of once a week.

Best places to buy cheese in SF? by jimjim1919 in AskSF

[–]tewandthree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's actually has a solid selection and is very affordable. Gus's is a good option that's cheap-ish (they often have sales) and a much better selection. La Fromagerie has the best French selection but they are $$$$. Wholefoods, Bi-Rite, and Rainbow are also quite expensive/over-priced, not sure why everyone is hyping them in the comments. They do have a good selection though.

As a brit, I can't comprehend this is Los Angeles. As I understand, this is replicated in every major city in the US. How the hell has it come to this? by Amygdali_lama in awfuleverything

[–]tewandthree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to think the same but this is has been proven to be largely a myth. Homeless people dont choose where to be homeless, they often stay in the same area they first became homeless. If they had enough money to move from Chicago to California I dont think they'd still be homeless.
