For instance, yesterday I was sitting in the park and a group of dudes sat down near me and started talking very loudly about a number of things.
One of them pointed out that big new high rise, in the background of the above photo, to the right of Mission High’s bell tower. He says a colleague of theirs is moving in to a 2-bedroom condo there.
“Guess how much he’s paying? … Fifty-eight!!”
He’s moving in next week and doesn’t have a roommate lined up any time soon, but he’s not worried about it. He’s just been promoted to senior developer at Netflix, says his friend, by way of explanation. It’s just $5800 a month.
“I get it, living in the high rise, with the view — and if you wanna fuck a bitch, in the window, and be all like, ‘This is MY city.’ ”
I get it.
Apparently the guy’s rationale is that he’s worked really hard for a long time living in shitty places and hasn’t really lived his life. And now he’s been promoted and he’s breaking up with girlfriend because she’s moving to Chicago and he can’t leave the Bay Area and doesn’t want to do the long distance thing. So now he’s ready to live his life. Gotta have a ridiculous condo.
The group speculated as to why their friend didn’t get a place in SoMa, so as to be closer to the train, and then they changed topics and started talking about a video game where there’s a woman who works for you, and you can turn her into a dog.
And then they started talking about whether or not they should “get another bottle of Chenin.”
Netflix is great though. BoJack Horseman and Kimmy Schmidt are the two best shows on TV right now if you ask me.
Let him enjoy it, what do I care
My only question is: “Should tech dudes be more discriminating about which of their bros they trust with private details of their lives?”
start all new blog about eavesdropping on ppl here. i would be all up on that fo sho
Should blogger dudes be more discriminating about which of their eavesdroppings they decide to post?
“…a video game where there’s a woman who works for you, and you can turn her into a dog”
Curious if anyone can figure out what video game this is…
I BEAT IT
Hahahahahahaha! Techies!
This is all normal stuff – always has been.
Swing and a miss
“Did you hear about Hiram? He’s paying fifty-eight… Fifty-eight cents a day to live on the third story of that brick hotel. I get it… you wannna wake snakes with a french girl and look over the docks and say, ‘this is MY claim…’”
Is a definition of a bro “someone you can trust to talk to?” Or what would the definition be?
“Bros” are the people you hang with because you think you’re still in high school. Last one to get married “wins”.
I enjoyed this but don’t see it going over too well with most of mission mission’s new tech readers. As evidenced above.
Do you have each responder properly identified? There have been tech people in San Francisco since Emperor Norton’s day – only the technology has changed.
Thanks, man
Reason #872687468376 to bail on what used to be “The Mission”. It’s over.
I really don’t understand why there aren’t more random murders of tech bros. I mean, if enough of them happened, the SFPD would get overwhelmed fairly quickly.
