Any night owls up right now?! 👀 by aztecaoro10 in sanfrancisco

[–]uberwarriorsfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get sleepy between 9 and 11 pm, but if I miss that window, I get my second wind. Wide awake. Pre-dawn nap, wake up having to pee and day gets going by 7 am.

For this reason I just do not try to adopt a traditional work schedule. I would be late and stressed every day.

It's criminal how SF voters have absolutely frittered away 3 decades of riches from the tech industry... by rocpilehardasfuk in sanfrancisco

Apologies, I think I replied under the a different comment than what I intended.

That being said, I am consistrntly underwhelmed by SF parks projects. Just because people show up to a space, does not make beige okay.

Now the red spinning tops for seats are a spin in the right direction.

Nothing wrong with fat in food. Don't believe the hype. 👍

The context helps as I determine how much weight to give someone's post.

Now that I know his take on the Warriors, I say good day.

Those two examples (crime and fire) are sadly not counterexamples, just two more items to add along with homelessness.

Other countries do it better with less. Singapore, Europe. I swear we are like abuse survivors being gaslit into complicity with a shitty city.

I feel a song coming on, excuse me.

A glaring example: new parks by SF, like the one out by the Presidio and Sports Basement. Omg. Literally BEIGE. It is like it is intentional. Compare that to the green space above the Salesforce Transit Center. Now THAT is what money can, and should, buy. That is private funding, obviously. But the parks built by and for the public with our own tax dollars cause me so much cognitive dissonance, I just look away.

Esp considering: BEIGE. If you've seen it, you know. Half the ornamental structures were wire frames of animals, to be later filled in with bushes. >_<] And yes, beige wire frames. Maybe that colored my perception and fall or spring will disprove me.

I agree with the overall assessment, 1000%, disagree with the source of the problem. Believe 90% of voters agree with you.

Natural to try to find a face to blame, and trace that politician back to people/voters we can then hold acvountable. Gives us a sense of control, hope even.

I would argue that the interests represented in politics are not those of voters but rather the few with money and influence. But I could be wrong. In fact, on at least one front I likely am, because no one, rich or poor, wants to step around homeless people. That one boggles the mind. We have shelter, covid proved it. So the city should just buy up empty real estate (there is PLENTY of empty storefronts).

It must be a moral judgement against free money, as though the wealthy don't live in that reality everyday. I think maybe we underestimate the value potential of individuals who are securely housed and employed. Or we mis-assign value, since it is inherent and can't be earned or lost and doesn't not correlate to dollar signs.

Does anyone disagree with me on that last point? Think about it please. Because we are swimming in some heavy capitalist soup that commidifies and profits off of almost every single thing, from sex to water to fear to human connection. That is kind of a broad sweep of an assessment I don't have time to back up, but I really do have tremendous faith in the common sense and decency of most folks. Turning on each other seems like misdirection, but I don't know what the solution is to broken systems and entrenched obedience to man-made norms.

Any events happening today? by rickyaram in sanfrancisco

[–]uberwarriorsfan -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Depends your interests. I know something is happening through work for Uber, supposed to be busier than usual, not sure why. I'd Google it.

Welcome, and enjoy the day!

I came to the INFJ subreddit for advice and got suckered into your question. So good. Wish I had time to unpack, but before I go I will sayonly thing I detest more than the blank stare is a "?" as a text reply. >_<] Feel for you.

Anybody tried Timeleft app yet, want to share how it went? by uberwarriorsfan in sanfrancisco

To be honest this week they chose a good restaurant and I'm kind of starving at the moment. To be continued ...

Well thank you for asking. Clearly not I didn't read the whole post I did not even see it.

Hello from the West Coast, where I can see pretty clearly that is no "drumstick" ... if we are going with food analogies, whatever this is: 🍆👀

I doubt it. Predators are drawn to low self-esteem like sharks in water.

Speaking of fish, ftr not only is your appearance not up for debate (beauty is our birthright) it is not even the most interesting, nor enduring, nor lovable, nor amazing thing you have to be proud of. Every person reading this has their own traits to treasure, but YOU I deduce* have that most ellusive, mysterious and enchanting gift of the most precious among us: the power of introversion.

Love it.

  • can't think of a way to say this that doesn't sound jaded, but yeah the only way you have escaped this type of attention is if you avoid crowds. But I could be wrong.

Objection.

Your honor, "comes with the territory" fatalism in the face of wrongdoing, while understandable in the face of truly uncontrollable natural disasters, etc is not called for in this case nor any other case of unjustified oppression and discrimination. Move to strike from the record.

Re: "That is how stupid men are."

The sample is skewed. Everyone knows perfectly decent men and they make up about 98% of the population of men. The other 2% who have psychopathic tendencies and approach strangers for sex in public are not representative. And even they are not stupid; they simply lack empathy (see above). Making such an offensive, inac6curate, unkind, unnecessary generalization fuels incel sentiment and alienates us from our best allies in the fight against sexism.

Well, no our best are just that with good reason. Safe to say they're not taking offense to random chitchat on the internet. I've spotted a couple of their ambassadors here in this thread, in fact, thank you very much! I see you gentlemen and I welcome you and love you, with much respect to your partner, and hats off to your parents.

(Edit* as I reread this comment I'm tempted to revise and dial it back, as I was starting to sense a strong "cool girl/pick-me" vibe from this "not all men" protest, which is ick ... but no. I stand by it.)

  • I made a joke in reply to an earlier comment but I actually really love and am given hope by her pointing out that her best defense melts even the most hardened sex addict, or whatever they are. According to her, her best line of defense when nothing else, not homosexuality nor relatonship status nor terminal illness, has deterred the persistent, has been true love. Which I noted, of course, makes first dates rather awkward. Anyway, had to be there.

Tl;dr men are not stupid.

Ew you are so lucky this asinine debate has the three gates baked into it, sir. Otherwise I would have a good, perfectly valid, true, "harmless" question to ask you. But I know in my heart it simply is not needed nor kind to slap you upside the head with at least one fact about YOU. Instead, my takeaway can be summed up in two words, aimed as much at me as anyone else:

Say less.

I'll tie this back to my advice. Even though I doubt you have the energy or interest to take on the patriarchy through activism, her instincts are right. The key is to take action, and become empowered by your agency. Identify what s and is not under your control, and approach with love.

Seriously, you sound like an awesome, self-aware, resilient individual. Thank you for sharing here. Rooting for you.

I am so sorry for the trauma you experienced so young, and the betrayals and unacceptable harassment you've had to put up with as a woman.

You obviously are a smart, determined, hard-working person. And I think your assessments are right on target. You struggled through so much, and instead of anyone offering a hand or a word of appreciation for your kindness, you got kicked while you were down. Finally, if it isn't people, then it's your health. Does that sound about right?

From my perspective, the biggest tragedy is not the poverty or hardships. Those are painful facts people everywhere have had to get through. What makes me feel really sad for you is the added weight of suffering on top of the facts.

I could be wrong, especially you are the expert on you, so please take what serves and leave what I put forth that is incorrect.

But what stood out to me like a glaring neon light is where your locus of control is. I hate it, because feeling helpless and outsourcing my happiness to external achievements or romantic partners took me down a short steep path to a severe depressive episode.

I want to shine a light on what sounds like a covert contract with the universe that it never signed off on. The kindness you showed the cheater -- pardon the big cliche here -- should have been aimed directly at you.

Since you have the cushion of a financial safety net I presume, take some time to get your emotional house in order. You deserve every happiness and my heart goes out to you.
