Went to San Francisco and California in general for the first time this past May. I’ve grown up in the suburbs on the East Coast with a very conservative family.

They were all losing their minds when I told them I was going to go. They were convinced I was going to get 16 times a day.

The city and state as a whole was absolutely beautiful (visited Yosemite and got engaged). There was so much to do that I had never experienced as someone who grew up in the suburbs. There was only one time we felt a bit uncomfortable but we were aware of the situation and had plans to get out if need be.

We rode public transportation (the horrors!) the whole time without any problem.

I know it’s not perfect by any means but to me the problem is fear mongering by the likes of Fox

Land of the giants is one of my favorites

Only about 1 season a year but each season is about the rise (and sometimes fall) of big tech companies

Unexplainable is cool too, about weird sciencey things that we don’t have an explanation for

I use the little drains on the floor so I don’t have to aim as high
