Out on my rooftop deck overhearing a guy describing being in Chicago this weekend and them dyeing the river green. Some girl literally says "that's so midwestern"

Frat Bros and their sorority girls have always been in the Marina. Frankly the Marina is refreshing with its Duke T-shirts and lulu lemon pants, as those people don't try to be something they are not. But the Mission and NOPA (what we used to call "Western Addition") and Noe and Glen Park are now all insufferable becasue theya re filled with wealthy tech dorks who pretend to be some kind of creative class/ Hipsters are the worst period. And the new breed of rich hipster tech douche is freaking awful. So smug. So full of faux humility.

Yeah to be honest I think there's almost something endearing and pure about being an unrepentant Traditional Bro at this point.

So the new old authentic angst laden over thinking hipsters are upset with the new faux techno hipsters.   What kind of brawl would they have, what would be the weapon of choice (think West Side Story/Anchorman)?

Sounds like the down townies/film/theater/arts crowd vs the burbs around here.

Love reading the comments section on stories about the busses.   The SF Metro Area:  A Metro Conflicted or Inflicted-you decide.

I was just eavesdropping.

Also, Critical mass here is kind of funny because no one really knows the point any more. Here's a decent read if you're interested:

Yesterday we had a big "meeting" at work with a Q&A session from the executives and like 200 people. Well some girl asks a question, and for whatever reason, an executive tells her, "You'll want to make sure to fill your car up with gas before you leave." Well the girl interrupts and says, "Um, I actually drive a Leaf, so I don't fill up with gas any more." And so naturally she gets a round of applause. WTF

Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

He was telling her to visit a place that was kind of far away.
