@skinnylatte This always made no sense in the US and I’d love to see us eliminate this terminology. Asia wasn’t close but it sure wasn’t east either.

And Europe isn’t West. Though in California growing up you do get used to the fact that everyone else seems to think you’re West. And that east coasters go west to get here.

@skinnylatte I will never understand why anyone prefers chicken breast.

@skinnylatte getting off at that building is a great way to respect the city’s history and traditions

@skinnylatte magnificent shop cat!

@skinnylatte I don’t know what else they’d expect from these whales it’s right in the name…

@skinnylatte There are! But they usually also see it as one personal choice of many not a “wow this is great for all wives” since they usually don’t want *their* wife to be a trad wife. :)

@skinnylatte whoa TIL

@skinnylatte yeah don’t tell anyone but I’m actually quite fond of that city. I’ll be up there in April and looking forward to it. :)

@skinnylatte Huh! I do have a little sushi place I love up there, I’ll have to give more of the city a fresh look. :)

@skinnylatte This feels wildly accurate. I really felt this way when I lived in The Mission and am glad that’s a neighborhood I visit and don’t live in now. I don’t understand how so many people love it. SF’s food isn’t usually that much better on the west side but at least it’s more interesting and has a greater range.

@skinnylatte Huh, I’ll have to give it another try! It’s been awhile but I previously categorized it “pretty good for Oregon” and very much intended that as faint praise.

@skinnylatte I love snackarchy

@skinnylatte Oh interesting. I’ve always felt I’ve been trusting of people generally but now that you mention this I realize how tied into the fact that’s also because I avoid people when my gut says “don’t” on someone.

@skinnylatte Live Earth Farm is my favorite CSA in the region, if you’re interested in weekly boxes of produce.

@skinnylatte The mango sticky rice on Thai AirAsia is a fav of mine. I wonder if most of the locals think it’s too sweet!

The nasi lemak definitely solid on the other AirAsias.

I’ll try the cheese bread next time, I’ve probably been missing out.

@skinnylatte I miss geocities and other free web hosts.

@skinnylatte watching video of SF from the 1950s makes me a little sick to my stomach. Cities shouldn’t be locked in amber but we’re so terrified of change.

Even 1906 before the quake is recognizable: https://youtu.be/sHkc83XA2dY?si=DRmRIYpMAOoHsCBn

@skinnylatte I didn’t realize that was a routine part of the process—that’s fantastic. We are often an aspirational country yearning to one day live up to our own beliefs, but more often than people realize we at least have the right aspirations.

@skinnylatte Democrats in this country are too often gullible as hell. It’s good to have you here and your clarity is, as always, refreshing. Happy new year and see you in this next one. :)

@skinnylatte I enjoyed them more in the small studio apartment or even SRO form factor than the more common and expensive multi-room format. I think they look cute but I don’t think I’d want to live in one again without having time and money to make some pretty large changes.
