South Bay is just like a giant company town, it’s actually pretty boring - 60% of people work at the same handful of giant companies, the other 30% work at a startup, and the last 10% serve the first group fair trade coffee.
The weather and climate are amazing, but socially its suffocating when everybody you meet is a variation on a tired theme.
- selimthegrim 3y agoPeople who work for startups can’t afford coffee?
- sjwhevvvvvsj 3y agoThey have to make their own, and it’s not fair trade.
- johndhi 3y agoThis was funny and I meant to update it but instead down voted it and now can't find how to undo that. Sorry!
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoYou can click the ‘undown’ button next to the username and timestamp of the comment.
- fragmede 3y agothere's a undown button to the right of the username if the timer hasn't expired
- spacecadet 3y agohaha this, its great to try it, but like NYC, dont stay too long...
- sjwhevvvvvsj 3y agoYeah, its *super interesting* at first, but once the novelty fades you aren’t left with much. That said, nowhere on earth had better driving directions on apps since people will notice the bugs on the drive into work and fix them. ;-)
- CydeWeys 3y agoWhat are you talking about, NYC is great! You could live your whole life there and never run out of things to do.

- entropicdrifter 3y ago>You could live your whole life there and never run out of things to do. Look, I know I'm being pedantic here, but as a rural nerd, I just gotta say that this is true of literally any habitable location on the planet if you decide to no-life the right hobby or hobbies.
- CydeWeys 3y agoYeah, but you don't have to "no-life the right hobbies" to be satisfied in NYC because there's SO MUCH to do. You can just be a normal person who isn't hyper obsessed with one particular hobby.
- sjwhevvvvvsj 3y agoI’m very fond of both New York City, and spending time in nature for the same reason: you just don’t know what you’re gonna see when you walk out your door. Am I going to hear a violin performance on the subway platform that is utterly sublime from a world class performer? Am I gonna see the rarest bird in North America perched branch in front of me? For me, the worst is the middle ground between crazy urban and pure nature where there is low probability of seeing anything exciting.

- SV_BubbleTime 3y ago> It's weird. They always travel in groups of five. These programmers, there's always a tall skinny white guy, a short skinny Asian guy, fat guy with a ponytail, some guy with crazy facial hair and then an East Indian guy. It's like they trade guys until they all have the right group.
- sjwhevvvvvsj 3y agoAnd they all drive Teslas with vanity license plates.
