Bloody posted:this but friends in non-tech fields. "yeah my friend james became a teacher and he's making a TON of money" "yeah?" "yeah he said like 45k" oh man this is me with texas friends and also some sf friends who aren't tech. most of them works part-time retail jobs for like $8/hr and their partner basically pays rent and they're literally broke all the time. a programmer friend got laid off when his company closed shop and he was complaining about not being able to find a sixxy figgy job to replace his and they were all totally blown away that he makes more in a month than they do in a year

lol, friend of mine bought a corner house in the burbs that has like some rocks in the corner as sort of like a lawn feature thing, and all the neighborhood kids apparently sit on the rocks all day after walking to the 7-11 and are all noisy. 27 year old yelling at kids to get off his lawn, p funny. they also leave cigarette butts and stuff.

i've had to pay extra deposits and fees but never actually pet rent in SF/Berkeley. one time it was a 500 deposit and a 500 fee (got the 500 deposit back) and the other was a 200 deposit, which i got back. current place, no deposit/fee/rent or even Pet Resumes probably because I'm not breeding pitbulls

ad targeting can get pretty specific but we don't actually get any data on fb users. like for example if we wanted to buy ads and show them to: males 18-34 who live in the top 10 metro areas in the US who have at least 2 of the following likes (and we can weight these, rank them, etc) my little pony, doritos, mountain dew, shoney's, nabisco and hot topic and who also must like either xbox or sony playstation (official pages) and who update once a week or more with more than 100 friends etc etc etc we can set up that targeting (and retargeting!), like if you go to our website and click to the page for Spaceman 2015 but don't buy it, we can put an ad in ur feed that is like 'Spaceman 2015 now 10% off!" and link back to the buy page with a special discount. p cool. but we never ever get like a spreadsheet that is like "James Q. Jameson matches ur targeting, here is his full profile and pics and poo poo"

the secret to ordering fries at in n out is to ask for them "light well" because they come out like poo poo normally, and if you ask for them well you get a tray full of black carbon, so you ask for light well and get pleasantly crunchy delicious fries, much more like McD's fries.

i like nola, good memories there. i only saw one totally wasted person in vegas, a 300 lb older woman (50s) who was too drunk to stand up from her penny slots machine and was very distressed about it and her tiny 120 lb husband was not capable of helping her

after that song ended i played let me down gently by la roux and he was like "who is this singer?" and i'm like "a redhead english girl name La Roux" and he's like 'i'm gonna look her up after this.' and then when we were pulling up to my apt building he started mashing some buttons on his phone and was like 'whoa you have a 5 star rating' and i'm like 'really? is that rare?' and he's like 'i check pretty much all my rides afterwards and i'd say less than 1/20 is 5 stars, you must be super nice' and i'm like

VLADIMIR GLUTEN posted:her music isnt very good either!!! #owned her latest album has exactly 1 good song "let me down gently" but like, the previous album 'la roux' had some super awesome songs like bulletproof, in for the kill (and the amazing skream remix of it, not skrillex gently caress that guy), quicksand, and i'm not your toy. loving awesome euro electro tracks not to mention my dude friend drew goes as her for halloween and looks exactly like her.

it's cool, there's really only 1 good song on it (let me down gently), i mean sexotheque and uptight downtown are tolerable at best. oh i forgot Tigerlily as another must listen off their first album. i've seen her twice in person, both time bringing redhead gfs and it was totes the right move iykwim

too late you are now embroiled in the fairly non-controversial debate over la roux and her musical output now that her main writer left the band before this album, and it being fairly lackluster compared to the first album which was baller as heck

i passed my first drivers test but like... i was driving my gfs 20+ year old busted up 3 series bmw for it and the driving instructor was like 'ooooooh this is a faaaaaaaaancy car, i can't believe i finally get to ride in one of these!" and she gets in and she's an apprentice instructor and like the teacher person gets in the back taking notes. the apprentice starts like taking pictures of the inside and calls her mom to tell her she's in a BMW and you would NOT believe how nice it is but like, the seats are all ripped up and the car is basically a pos and none of the ac/heat work and the parking brake lever moves but doesn't actually engage anything. but no matter, she's freaking out and mashing all the ac buttons and non-functional heat-warmer buttons (in july, in dallas). she's all 'all right let's roll' and the teacher in the back clears her throat and the apprentice jumps out and is like 'oh right, we gotta check the signals' which i do and she's all "wow that's so fancy the way the blink" i'm totally dumbfounded and a little nervous, but the driving test goes fine up until the very end when I come to a T intersection with a red light. the light is red on approach so I come to a complete stop. a cyclist goes by in front of me I then turn right as per her instructions safely, and get back to the dmv and she gives me the little form and she's like 'you did great except you don't need to stop at a red light at a T intersection if you're turning right." the instructor lady nods in agreement. i take my 90/100 and drive off forever, still making stops at red lights at t-intersections. that's my driving test story, i hope that helps

the chinatown leveling is for the muni line, not the high speed rail I thought? the same poo poo that's been tearing up stockton for the last year and change. it turns out those machines can't go backwards so they had to punch out the otherside of the hill, leveling most of chinatown in the process and allowing high rise condo/lofts to be built.

what about that idea but with health? like, let's say you don't have insurance and also you just can't find the time to go to the dr, with healthr, a certified (by healthr) 'technician' will come to your house in a white van with a red cross on the side of it and help you with various homeopathic treatments as well as give you thinks like shots and injections as needed.

one of my best buds works for the dod, can't tell me what he does, "even my specialization is classified" but he's a desk jockey in washington. he came out to sf to visit the palantir offices and we met up for lunch and he was loving blown away by their offices. he said it was like a combination of the matrix and every bad wallstreet movie. he did love all the free food/beer/open bar thing they had going on, but sadly could not partake in any of it.

one of my gay friends is out but he doesn't like volunteer that info to everybody he knows so it's sort of a secret to friends of friends and things, and then another good friend is one of those clueless dudes who is like pro-gay but doesn't think he knows any gay people. anyways, we were all together, and they've known each other for a couples years and guy two was like "whoa you're gay?? i had no idea!" and then they swapped phones and sat there doing grindr and tindr for each other for a few hours at the bar and it was one of the greatest thing to watch. dude 2 is hella ripped and dude 1 is a qt so they're both swimming in it. warmed my heart.
