There are dozens of us. DOZENS!!

Too good to be true :(

Yea like I said - it's a very low bar to clear.

Amen

I agree, compared to the majority of the US, yea San Francisco's public transportation isn't too bad. But it's a pretty low bar in the first place.

These ideas are interconnected

I completely agree. I just don't think they will be executed as such.

Can we get half decent public transportation please?

housing would magically solve the homeless problem?

I don't think that. But I think it's a part of the equation. Probably pretty significant part.

What are talking about, man is an expert on blocking housing construction and giving out tents instead. That should solve it, right?

That's why he's getting paid the big bucks tho

I mean a lot of people actually enjoy working. Creating new stuff and such. Is that a sickness?

Fuck yeah, Echoplex is one of my all time favorites!

I still can't get over the fact they removed levitation after morrowind. What a travesty.

I mean the title claimed "top 5"

BRING BACK WHAT.CD!!

I see your point and I think I kinda made my peace with this in the media world. But now it seems to be trickling into the hardware world? Like how Sonos tried to brick their old speakers remotely, or how BMW wants to charge you a monthly subscription for heated seats (the hardware is there by default but to make it work you have to pay extra, lol).

I'm more concerned that I will want to re watch a movie but the streaming platform either lost the license so now I have to buy subscription to a different service, or the movie has been edited or even banned. My DVD ain't going nowhere.

Yea the general idea that you don't or often even can't own the product that you bought doesn't sit well with me. And it seems to be getting worse.

Regular testing is required by my employer. It's mildly annoying but not a deal breaker for me and it's definitely not a "central part of my life", not sure why you're making such strange assumptions lol

I'm not seeing that under the recommendations for the "green" counties though? And to be clear I'll wear a mask on Bart anyway because it's mandated by Bart same as I wear a mask at a coffee shop if they want me to. I don't think that's right if it contradicts the CDC but it's ultimately not a big deal for me.

They can't enforce fare, doubt they'll enforce this either tbh.

I don't know. I think maybe part of it is a cultural thing , east Asian societies tend to be more collectivist than individualistic western cultures. Also when you have symptoms you're more likely to pass your virus to someone else so it makes more sense to wear a mask. Ultimately I don't think it matters though because we're not in Japan, we're in San Francisco, so I'll just follow what the CDC says tbh.

Personally, I get tested twice a week. But people who don't can make reasonable assumptions based on vaccination rates, number of cases, or recommendations from health authorities, like the CDC for example.

Edit: didn't expect that following the CDC guidelines is such a controversial take lol

I guess what I'm saying is "I have a cold I don't wanna cough on anyone so I'll wear a mask" - that's common courtesy, yes. Making people wear masks "just cos" probably isn't though.

if you had a cold that day

That's the important bit.
