The primary reason I want to remain in the Bay Area is because my family and friends are here. I grew up in the Bay Area and can't imagine packing my bags and leaving them behind. That being said, I'm unemployed and not in a posit

Yeah that totally makes sense, I understand why potential employers would have concerns. For what its worth, I was at one company for 4 years and about 1 year at my previous company prior to getting let go. I hope the tenure at my first com

I remember seeing similar articles. While I don't understand the science behind these findings, my understanding is that smokers are less likely to catch COVID, but if they do, then their symptoms are significantly more severe than tho

Thanks! Congrats on eating healthier as well! There are so many upsides to preparing your own meals, and you'll find that it can actually be a very therapeutic activity.

Yup. I used to smoke 1-2 packs per week for many years (mostly in social settings), then went up to 1 pack per day due to general life stress pre-COVID19. When shelter in place began I freaked out, quit cold turkey, and immediately started

Yup they're in the Bay Area too, so it wasn't a big move. Not being able to date sucks, but if most people are moving back home, then maybe living with your parents won't have as much of a stigma. But given that we're ex

I'm 29, live in the Bay Area, and recently moved back to my parents place. At first I was embarrassed, but while running around the neighborhood I keep bumping into old high school and college classmates who did the same thing in order

No. I started college at 21, got hired as a software engineer at 25 in the bay area, and from 25-28 I dated, traveled, partied, and had a fun time. I worked at most 40 hours a week and viewed work as income for my hobbies. I'm 29 now a

Nope. I bought Wahl clippers on eBay for $60 and started cutting my own hair. Each haircut I gave myself improved, and now I'm really happy with the way it turns out. Its almost as good as what I'd get at a barbershop, and I imagi

For those of you who claim to start and finish a book in a weekend, are you spending literally the entire weekend doing nothing by reading? Do you take breaks? Do you speed read? Do you take notes? What's your strategy?

I FaceTime my friends/family every night. We'll prop up our phones on our desks and eat dinner "together" or just mindlessly surf the web and share links to songs and videos. Sometimes we won't even talk at all if t
