And the 405 in Seattle is worse than the 405 in LA... HA!

I'm actually curious about this sentiment. Parts Unknown didn't seem that dissimilar to No Reservations or a Cook's Tour.

Hell he even went back to the same spots to visit and eat with the same people on Parts Unknown as he did on No Reservations.


He did do a bit more commentary on social/political issues, but I found that 99% of the time, I agreed with the guy on just about everything.


It reminds me I need to quit spending money on bullshit and get back to getting stamps on my passport. Japan, S. Korea, and Thailand are at the top of the list.

EDIT: I really regret not taking some of my severance money when I was laid off 3 years ago and not just going somewhere for a week. I came supremely close to buying a ticket to Tokyo. I shouldn't have been such a scared little bitch and just gone.

No need to regret when you can just fucking do it!

Just got back from traveling Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kobé) for the past couple weeks after backpacking SE Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand) and wouldn’t take it back for the world. I have less money than you for sure and still made it a priority to experience it no excuses my friend.

To a lot of you that had to fuck up a memorial thread w your gentrification woes. Let me ask you this, what would you of done if you were in our shoes? Sina (freeride) and I both grew up in a world of this bullshit and made the most of it. We flocked to where the job market is and now ya’ll blame our generation for messing it up? Do you guys just expect us to graduate with these degrees and die so you guys can grab our salaries and standard of living. We worked for it just as every other generation did, yet we get blamed for no fucking reason.

Call us hipsters or millenials, but we were born in this era and are making the most of it while respecting future and past generations. So maybe take a look in the mirror before blaming our liberal snowflake fucktard generation cuz we’re doing the best we can with what we got. /rant

+kronus for adding some perspective to these bitters. A lot of us didn’t choose to grow up in the bay area, yet we did. And with that came 1st gen immigrant parents, competitive ass schools, and high expectations. Like I said before, we milked the shit w what we had and made the most of it.

Wow, you took this personally..

And you're talking about fucking up a memorial thread, yet here you are writing paragraphs about yourself..

Also, "hipster" is not some blanket term for people in their mid twenties

[kronus]

Hipster's are the demographic of people that get a boner when you say "Seattle"

I have no idea where you heard this, but it says more about you than about hipsters.

You're going to judge my character on something so trivial?

That's exactly what a hipster would do...

Anyways, I'll leave this here

RIP Anthony Bourdain

[george graves]

and the cost of living up there is just as much as it is down here..

Can confirm. Seattle is both a hipsters paradise, and home prices have doubled in the last 8-10 year, and moving up. It's not stopping. It's quite the conundrum. It's almost EXACTLY like SF in the 90's.

Liberal hipsters everywhere in seattle. I loathe going to seattle, it's full of people that try so hard to be a hipster, but they are all the same. Kinda ironic, and they dont see it. They really are mindless idiots, but they do make some amazing food and beer. Food and beer are the only reasons to go into that shithole

Wow - you might be going to the wrong spots! (But I agree with most of what you said - let ALL BE UNIQUE.....Oh, and copy one another to a "T". Tats, check. Beard, check. Unwashed hair and clothes? Check!

No, you should have bought it 10 years ago. :pimp:

Considering there's little to no chance of things going south anytime soon, there's really no time better than the present.

Amazon, Boeing, US Navy/Army and Microsoft would need to go out of business for that to happen. So yea, you might be right. ;D

I just looked around Amazon or Microsoft would come the closest to making up the income gap (still end up spending a larger % of your income on housing), but I think my NDA/Non-Compete means I couldn't go to work for Amazon.

I was using a pretty broad brush of generalization. But the ratio of hipsters to normal people is high. I get a laugh out of the I look like a lumberjack from the 1920's but my testosterone levels are too low to even swing an axe, let alone pick it up

a friend who worked devops at amazon tells me it's *not* a good place to work, even at the engineer level.
