I told people I was going to Chicago, they acted like I was going to Gaza. It’s a fucking city, stop pretending Fox “news” speaks any kind of truth

When do you realize you’ve been systematically lied to?

Two of us did a 25-mile bike ride along San Francisco shoreline a couple weeks ago.

Was fully expecting to ride over homeless people, drug addicts, and raging anarchists. All we saw was pleasant weather, a beautiful coast line, and people just doing their thing. Horrified at how damn sedate Sunset Dunes and Golden Gate Park were.

The most annoying thing was out-of-service BART escalators. Expected having to dodge gang-wars and knife attacks while going up and down the stairs.

Got home with zero scars. Would not recommend.

Every time I spend a nice weekend in Seattle or Portland, I get home and see people on Facebook acting like it's Escape From LA and you gotta be Snake Plissken to survive.

The stadium is nowhere near San Francisco. It’s 45 minutes away in Santa Clara

I see a lotta people mention humam shit on the sidewalk in SF because an app that let you report such things got flooded by trolls once and some funny meme images csme from it.

I'm there fairly regularly and have never seen shit on the sidewalk outside of the occasional dog turd some asshole owner didn't pick up; which I see almost everywhere I've been in the world, too.

The worst thing I can say about SF is the traffic is terrible despite having pretty decent public transportation. I never drive there. I drive to Livermore and take BART into and around the city and walk everywhere else. And if not for Musk's dumbass I might have been able to not even have to drive to Livermore; they were planning on extending BART where I live and I'd have been able to never need a car to get to the Bay Area at all until that dipshit lobbied against it.
