Fluff & Memes There is a fake sub duping this one…

1.8k Upvotes

There is a sub overrun by Elon Musk fans and right wing trolls; r/SFBayArea. It even has a Doge symbol in its sub description.

It is an absolute cesspool of hate, and trolling. Complete with users with names that include “88” and other nods to the far right wing ideology and fascism.

The only obvious clue it is not a good faith Bay Area sub, besides the Doge symbol, is the fact that it has so few subscribers.

I see people posting in good faith on there, but the sub itself is not acting in good faith and the mods are either absentee or in on it. The Doge symbol on the sub description leads me to believe they are in on it.

Food, Shopping & Services I hate when I get the check at the restaurant the suggested tip percent is based off the total including tax. It’s supposed to be the subtotal!!!

I’ve been catching places around the bay doing it, and it’s pretty disappointing. I usually end up leaving a tip with the correct math and call them out with 1 star yelp review.

Traffic, Trains & Transit Dear Bay Area drivers, a PSA

It is ok if you miss your exit.

It is ok if you take the wrong exit.

It is ok if you have to take an exit despite only wanting to continue on in the right lane.

The roads are all connected, you will be able to get back on track and make it to your destination. It is just a detour. You do not need to swerve around like a plastic bag caught in a tornado, while putting yourself and everyone else on the road in mortal danger. In fact, that is one situation where you have a real chance of NEVER reaching your destination ever again.

So please. Don't be morons. Drive sensibly. Make it home and let others make it home as well.

Humbly, A fed up resident who almost died today because one abject imbecile almost caused a 4 car pileup on N280.

Work & Housing Any Bay Area empty nesters with an extra bedroom?

168 Upvotes

hello! i know this is a long shot, but i thought i would try.

I was recently admitted to my top choice school (UC Berkeley) for a masters degree! I would love to go here, but me and my family aren’t wealthy and I’m afraid that cost of living will make this goal not possible.

I thought I would post in this sub to see if there are any empty nesters (or anyone really) who have an extra room they could rent to me for below market value.

I’m 25, I work as an architect and have been for the last 5 years. I would be moving here from the northeast. I’m responsible and kind and would help around the house or with childcare or whatever. Happy to share more about myself if anyone is interested and would love to chat on the phone or over zoom.

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I would try! It’s really my dream to go to school here, but don’t want to be financially wreckless. Thanks for reading!
