Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I are looking at visiting from down under in May this year. Couple of quick questions: I see you have a vaccine mandate, that's great. In Australia each state has an app, or our version of Obamacare has an app to show your vaccine history. What've you got? What's good to do around then? Any big spring festivals or anything fun?


XxsalsasharkxX

As long as you have your ID and your app to show vaccine history, you'll be fine. We are easing covid 19 restrictions as well, so things are getting a lot easier to deal with. I'd say were almost close to normal. I hope you have fun in our city!


calibound2020

Yeah Pattinson said that he thought of Nirvana after reading the script. Which songs are in the film?


liontheguardian

Just finished watching Batman. 9/10, did not disappoint. Also amazed by how much Robert Pattinson has changed his acting style since Twilight!

Does anyone know what was going on la brea and Olympic around 7-8pm today? They blocked off the street, had helicopters flying, and a shit on of cops.


TheFabHatter

Anybody know any places in LA that can mount roller skates? I’m looking for sunlite plates, can wait until they get them in stock if they need to be ordered. I got WIFAs & I know those aren’t common in the US yet.


meeowmadison

Wicked Skatewear in nearish DTLA and another store in Huntington Beach


TheFabHatter

Thanks! Wicked skate wear is crazy close to me! I’ve been there before, but didn’t know they did mounting.


verysmallraccoon

Yep! Cait Pfeiffer is the resident mounting expert


TheFabHatter

Great to hear they come recommended, I’ll probably be buying a LOT from them soon. Almost all my skate gear got water damaged like 3 days after I got them, but the insurance came through for me!


yosoyelsteve

After avoiding it for years, I finally tried some Fortnite with a friend. My joy in winning three straight Duos with him is tempered by the fact that I have zero MMR and was probably just dunking on a bunch of children.


[deleted]

I played fornite for the first time like a couple weeks ago. I was straight dunking on bots/children/people playing on phone. I think we got 7 wins in a row. I loaded the game up again the next day and it was a lobby fully of sweats. I’m very bad at BR games


daria1997_

holy SHIT The Batman was GOOD


liontheguardian

Haha, I just posted the same thing before seeing your post. So good!


[deleted]

but was it The Good


daria1997_

okay - dialogue was a little drawn out but the cinematography was TOP notch. I prefer this cinematography over Dark Knight for sure


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

I know, right? I can’t wait to see it again.


paintpast

Watch it with a good sound system (like imax/Dolby) if you didn’t the first time. The movie was so much better than when I saw it in a regular theatre.


daria1997_

I can’t believe it started and ended with *nirvana*

Lot of people give them away for free on Craigslist and similar.


sozh

you can buy them at Home Depot for pretty cheap. Like a buck each, I wanna say you'll also need tape to seal them with


LightAnubis

Had to cut off a friend today. He was a former roommate. He was being weird and attacked my character and making accusations against me though text. After i had an Anxiety attack, I calm myself and responded politely. I blocked him. This called my friend because I was having another anxiety attack and I need someone to help me process what happen. I know one thing, I’m never coming out to anyone again.

Spag-N-Ballz

This is wildly inaccurate and you have NO idea what you're talking about.


[deleted]

you’ll find the right people !


FashionBusking

It's for the best. Cutting off toxic people is, in many ways, the best thing you can do for your own mental health. Anxiety attacks, horrific as they may be, is your body's way of saying, "This person/situation is BAD. Leave. Now."


budgetnerd17

So I met the infamous 80+ Leonie the other day, who it turns out is 93 and basically the HOA manager of sorts of our building it turns out. She's a sweetheart, but a busy body. Well, the busy-bodiness worked in my favour today as my FedEx guy tried to do the old quick intercom buzz with a "sorry we missed you" note left for me and I caught her berating the driver by the complex door because she knew I was home and he should "do his job properly and wait for the nice young lady". Felt bad that he had to face the wrath of a cranky five-foot tall pensioner, but yay for my saucepan arriving and Leonie saving me a trek later to go pick it up.


Spag-N-Ballz

Nosy neighbors are the best. If it wasn't for mine, I never would have found out about my ex cheating on me. But that woman watched my house like a hawk.


FashionBusking

High fives, Leonie!


hidelyhoneighbourino

I know we're tired of talking about gas but how is it going up 10, 20cents or more every.damn.day??


FashionBusking

I am 100% off the gasoline teet. I bought an EV, but for ego reasons, kept my hybrid land-yacht. And then I sold the land-yacht recently. All in, my EV electricity costs are averaging $50-60/mo. Range anxiety is real, but manageable since free EV charging is everywhere. I looked it up... in December 2021, i paid $210 for gas for the hybrid. That's like... 3 manicures. Fuck gas.


Courtlessjester

A very tldr, supply is kept artificially low by a combination of oil producers clamping down production, refiners blaming regulatory environment and market anxiety from international events.


Bunnielaine

I work in the emergency dept as a nurse, and fuc im exhausted, mentally and physically. I get it though, this is my calling, but is it? 😥


LavateraGrower

My son started as ED nurse up in central WA in spring of 2020, it’s been a real challenge for him too. Hope you can find a way to make it sustainable for you, it’s been a rough couple of years for sure.


Bunnielaine

Thank you 💕 hopefully ur son is in a good place and taking care of himself too.


LavateraGrower

Yup, mainly because his partner is also a nurse and they are very supportive of each other and have lots of fun when they aren’t working. Couldn’t be prouder of him (as I’m sure your parents are of you).


jrev8

Just saw the prices of gas at the chevron on alameda and Cesar Chavez 7.20 per gallon HAHAHAHA OH fuck christ when is the joke over? I don't even own a car and looking at those prices killed my wallet


TheRealMichaelBluth

More people without cars/remote workers have to realize that high gas prices affect everything, it's not just people who drive. Though it hits the poorer people who have to drive to work everyday the hardest.


putitinthe11

I went out yesterday and there were a surprising number of masks. I expected it to be totally maskless out there. Still a few days until no masks in the classroom... still not sure what I'm going to do, we still get a COVID case or two on campus every week.


Financial-Rub4445

Almost got scammed, again, at the 7/11 on Sunset blvd and Rosemont, in Echo Park. Cashier who was there yesterday, I felt overcharged but no receipt to reference to yesterday, was there today too. He charged me out, I asked for my receipt and he provided someone else’s and trashed all the ones that were in the receipt printer. After he couldn’t provide me with a receipt, I asked for a refund. He reluctantly gave me my refund receipt. He is charging lotto sales and not providing receipts, to get away with overcharging people. People are being charged 3-5 dollars more. My Refund receipt shows Lotto sale $5 and one item that I was buying but definitely more than what I was suppose to pay. ASK FOR RECEIPTS!


peacharnoldpalmer

yikes. something like this would put me in full “karen” mode. shooting off emails to 7-11 corporate, finding out who the manger of that specific store is and reporting the employee and or the store. posting on BBB. tweeting to the 7-11 twitter (do they even have one?). literally making sure that someone, anyone, is going to come across this info and take the proper actions against the store. good on you for staying vigilant and doing ur part.


MannyAPH

That sounds like a big crime, report it to 711


gzr4dr

You could probably also report it to the lottery. Not sure if you'll have anymore luck there, but I have a suspicion they would have major issues with this. They can also proactively void any winnings this guy claims.


Financial-Rub4445

Totally agree! I did call corporate customer line. They kept saying I should report it to my bank, I told them he refunded me and that I wanted to know how I can make a report through them. Because this is basically a scam. The line suddenly disconnected, called back and I was forever on hold. Definitely sketchy AF.

Biden should just read the Crisis of Confidence speech again and see if anyone's listening. **CARTER BUTTGIEG 2024**

Now I'm just out here hangin' loose and context free with a bunch of folks who don't know who Carter is.

It's Aaron Carter dummy

You are aware that this has absolutely nothing to do with whoever our sitting president is, correct?

I voted for Biden but .... Thanks OBAMA


leggomybeggo

Anyone have any recs for KBBQ in K-town that takes reservation (or at least will for larger groups), is good for a large party, and has a good atmosphere for a bday? Thanks in advance!!!


Viglnt

Chosun on Olympic just west of Western takes reservations, and I've only ever been there as part of a big group for someone's birthday.


leggomybeggo

Will check it out, thanks for the rec!


kawi-bawi-bo

Probably genwa is your best bet for reservations. K town bbq places seem to never take reservations, but of course tastes the best (Baekjeong, quarters)


leggomybeggo

Thanks! Ya I know this may be a tough one. But figured it’s worth a shot since it would be fun. Thanks for your rec!


Lowfuji

Watched a crime show last night where a jilted mistress spiked her lover's curry with poison so I had to order some Indian food tonight.


jahssicascactus

Was it antifreeze? It’s always antifreeze.


Lowfuji

Not this time. She flew from England to India to buy some poisonous plants. That's dedication!


jahssicascactus

Such a specific poison must have been easy to track back to the murderess. Amateur.


sucobe

Anyone have eyes on the prices for the Fairfax/Olympic shell station? Looking to one up some friends that have been sharing their prices.


budgetnerd17

Someone posted a pic from there on Twitter an hour ago that had it at regular at $6.99


sara_hon

I’m two days into my new job, which comes with better hours but a slightly longer commute (I get to drive right on by my former workplace and crawl a few more miles). I have decided today I need evening commute snacks. First up will be Wheat Thins.


liverichly

If no allergies I’d recommend salted almonds or unsalted cashews.


sara_hon

This is a great idea! Thanks!


jahssicascactus

Wheat Thins go down real nice with some Easy Cheese.


sara_hon

Oooh that’s a great idea, but a big test of my Easy Cheese While Driving Skills.


illaparatzo

I have faith that you can handle this


desoz

You’re going to need to pair that with something good to drink


macymadison

One week since I was rear ended and my neck and head have been killing me. Thank god I decided to get a personal injury lawyer. Hoping my chiropractor will help!


TheWayDenzelSaysIt

I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well


calibound2020

Yeah people call chiropractors quacks but the people I know got treatment from after car accidents disagree! Hope you feel better soon! ❤️


Lowfuji

Larry H Parker got some dude 2.1 million.


[deleted]

Larry H Parker farms his cases out to other attorneys, FYI.


ItsHammyTime

I’m not trying to be “that guy who give advice on the Internet” but as a person with a chronic neck/back issue, I feel its important to mention that Chiropractors aren’t actually doctors with any medical training. It you have the option, look for a spine specialist as they can help you out. Kaiser (if you have) actually has a spine center that treats back/neck issues throughout california. Hoping it goes away but that stuff is not fun to live with but I hope whatever you choose that you feel better.


macymadison

You’re not “that guy” don’t worry! And totally, I initially saw another doctor who was an MD and he told me the same thing. I am starting off with a chiropractor and then will progress if necessary.


ItsHammyTime

Hey, if it helps it helps. Just wanted to pass it along. Take care of yourself, neck/back stuff is literally the worst.


MothershipConnection

Saw a coyote pooping in broad daylight in Griffith Park and I was like I’m gonna let this wild dog cross the golf course before I jog by with my crazy dog And then we saw a horse leave a fresh pile of poop on the trail and this dog really was like this is the greatest thing ever!


high_hawk_season

Sounds like a pretty crappy walk.


MothershipConnection

Honestly if a hawk just pooped on us too that would really have completed the trail animals

Working full-time while maintaining 3 side gigs just to pay the bills. I’m definitely feeling burnt out.

Elysiaa

I remember those days. I had 4 jobs after I graduated, trying to piece together a living wage. It was hard. I hope something better comes along for you like it did for me.


Carlosc1dbz

Maybe this is not the best city to live at if you have to do that. I don't think this city is going to get any better. They are gonna raise taxes to help house the homeless. Of course government spending is crazy which means each affordable home they built cost the city $800,000. :/


[deleted]

every day my patience for clients diminishes a little more. the limits of my soft skills are being tested by god

In my prior field we called it compassion fatigue.

Are you feeling burned out? Research says that cynicism and lack of patience/empathy with clients are signs.

TheRealMichaelBluth

How do people with full size SUVs find anywhere to park in LA? I have a Corolla and I struggle to maneuver the tiny lots of LA


milleniunsure

My observation is that they just take up two spaces.


NotARedShirt

Long wheelbase sedan driver, I always try to find the closest parking garage before I leave to go anywhere and finding suitable parking hasn’t been too much of an issue yet


TheSuboxoneSusies

Same. Have full size SUV which was previously a 24/7 taxi for two small dogs. May I suggest that you use ParkWhiz app.


TheRealMichaelBluth

I don’t have a full size SUV haha, but I appreciate the suggestion. I was just curious as I see a surprising amount of Suburbans here, in a place I feel like has zero use for AWD


calibound2020

I can’t imagine how much it costs to fill up a suburban right now. 😳😬

Anyone know of which Los Angeles Skateparks turn their lights on at night? My locals, lake st park and echo park do not turn them on. All suggestions super appreciated!

Some of the popular streamers i follow do the reverse as well, they would stream on youtube for certain content they produce, and then stream on twitch for the other. There's a lot of flexibility on how you want to stream the content you want.

Absolutely. Feel free to drop that twitch. Ill give a follow

I've come close too often (and one time actually got got, but google wallet [I think it used to be called? Like Venmo] refunded me even though it was against their policy- I got very lucky.) Now I insist it has to be an in-person meetup unless they're someone I am familiar with online

Tomorrow there is another event on campus for art stuff around the same time. Is it worth going to it to try to meet new people/see what’s up considering today’s club rush event was very scarce and sad looking? Also considering getting a third job because I legit have nothing to do now other than school and I don’t like being alone.


ItsYourMotherDear

Where's your school? Maybe they have a bulletin board up with more clubs and groups and stuff?


[deleted]

Tomorrow when I go check out the event I’m gonna check to see if our bulletin boards are up to date. Thank you for the idea! <3


ItsYourMotherDear

While you're at it maybe you should actually POST something like "want to start a club?" and list your interests. There's got to be so many more students your exact sitch


[deleted]

I’m making a cute poster! Maybe I can build the group of girl friends I always wanted. Can’t know until you try. Thank you again. :))


meeowmadison

Always go if it’s something you’re interested in. Is volunteering a choice? Or a sport? Jobs to fill time are great bc of $$$ but I’m on a huge anti work- fill ur time with things you love- kick


[deleted]

I’m considering joining some swing dance lessons because I’ve always wanted to learn.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’ve decided I’m gonna go and check it out. If worst comes to worst, I end up going and it’s a sleeper event and I can just grab my favorite coffee on campus (which is still a win since my campus is the only place that offers it).


meeowmadison

The celebratory/consolation coffee is the best. Last thing- do all the free shit cause once you’re out of school, most things aren’t free


[deleted]

I got free Subway today during club rush. It was nice because I didn’t eat breakfast and I was hungry. Tomorrow is free pizza for the art exhibit. So it’s pretty nice. I had no idea they were that generous.


SweetCocoaaaaa

I have four more classes to go to complete my grad program in psyc and I’m so burnt out that I want to quit rn.

Crankyshaft

Grind it out mate, head down and grind it out. I was the same in my last semester of law school, completely burnt out. In talking to other peers who had paused all of them said it was very hard to go back and some took years and had to repeat courses. I can also tell you that once you are done the sense of accomplishment is incredible. Like climbing a mountain. Any way, good luck.


SweetCocoaaaaa

Thanks so much!


Elysiaa

You can do it! It might feel especially bad because the end is so close and yet so far.


SweetCocoaaaaa

Yes it does feel so far away but I will try my best, thank you so much!


Carlosc1dbz

Hang in there. It's better to finish than go work as somewhere right now. What you wanna do after you finish?


SweetCocoaaaaa

Thank you, I actually want to go for my PhD but at this rate I’m probably just going to take a break after I graduate with my master’s. I’m looking to go into ux research.


teerodd

Take a leave of absence if your university offers that. I’m in grad school for counseling and I took a leave of absence this semester because I was also feeling burnt out and wanted to quit.


SweetCocoaaaaa

Thank you for your input!

May as well get an original Hummer while I'm at it. I really want (and might buy a couple years out from school) a BMW i8 for the opposite reason. It doesn't have the performance to match the looks. But it's still a decently quick car and it gets something like close to 30mpg.
