  • I’ve never been to SF, but we just moved to NorCal earlier this year and I’m SO stoked to visit. I absolutely believe that there’s a homeless issue there because I’ve been to major metropolitan areas before: Houston, Baltimore, Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, etc etc etc but I simply do NOT buy into the hype of there just being endless amounts of human shit and discarded needles in the streets.

    In my head, I have it built up as this glamorous place with good food and pretty bay views with the huge hills and colorful houses and streetcars.

    Honestly I think I want to spend my birthday there in March, and I’m pretty excited. Any and all bar/museum/restaurant/atlas obscura oddity recc’s welcome from locals/people who have been are welcome!






  • Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.

    There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn’t have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.

    Still grateful it exists!





  • They workin’ hard at it. Its now a requirement for all of us currently serving to have watched Kegsbreath’s speech to the Generals.

    I had already watched it as it was happening just because I wanted to be mentally prepared for what would be coming, and I was saddened/pissed/horrified.

    The second watch through wasn’t any better.



  • Oh my God, you just brought up Leberkase and I’m SO upset that Americans dont have this delight everywhere.

    I learned it as Fleischkase (sp?) when I was fortunate enough to spend a few months in Germany for work, but I was told that theyre pretty much the same.

    Ugh, mustard and a toasted bun is how I ate it. So fucking good. And I’ve been crying about missing it ever since.



  • I know what all of these are supposed to be except the tender hooks one. I’ve said it aloud and it’s driving me crazy because I can NOT figure it out.

    Is it a regional one maybe? I’m from the US so maybe it’s one from elsewhere in the world? I bet I’m going to feel like a real dumb dumb when I figure out the answer and it’s hella obvious lmao.

    Edit: Googled it and figured out that it’s actually “tenterhooks” and just basically means that someone is uneasy. I’ve never heard that phrase in my life. Kinda dope that I learned a new phrase today!



  • Conversely, I, as an American who had the opportunity to spend a few months in Germany, was surprised at how close all the countries were.

    Great culture in all the places I went (Brussels and Prague were my two standout favorites!) Traveling was hella cheap. The food was fire everywhere I went. The architecture was INCREDIBLE. And the knowledge that you could go to the hospital for less than $100 was nuts. Don’t even get me started on how legitimately cool it is to sit in a 1000 year old pub.

    I didn’t want to come back. I nearly cried when I got the return flight info.

    It still shocks me to tell people “Yeah, I lived in Germany for a bit and some weekends we would fuck off to France.”
