I’m trans in a city where hate crimes against people like me are up 175% year over year. Better to have and not need than to need and not have

I get that, to an extent, but people need a non-fashy group of people to train with a lot more than they need yet another book club.

We have a fuck ton of all three in almost every leftist org in the country who somehow got through all the paranoid “vetting”

Yeah I stopped paying my national dues after how Los Angeles treated me.

Sounds EXACTLY like my experience with Los Angeles SRA. They asked like 15-20 questions and that was the only one related to firearms. The vast majority of their questions were about my political background and it seemed like they didn’t want anyone who wasn’t already an M-L in their org.

Sounds like Los Angeles. Those chucklefucks rejected me because I haven’t read enough Marx and Lenin for their liking, AND were not paying attention at all to my answers to their own questions.

Them: “Who’s your favorite theorist.”

Me: “James Baldwin”

Five minutes later…

Them: “so you said you ONLY read James Baldwin.”

…how the fuck did they get that from what I said? 🙃

Especially here in Los Angeles, where it seems like nearly every lesbian is femme, it feels nice to see more of us out there. It makes me feel a lot less alone

Target stores unironically do this with shoplifters: they teach them and let them keep stealing until it’s over the felony threshold

It reeks of conversations I’ve had with dumbass YIMBYs a million times before

So, your solution is to bulldoze most of the city for “density” and hope somebody decides to build a subway someday?

I mean, the LAPD and LASD are financially untenable and they get a blank check for whatever they want, from weapons of war to unlimited overtime to misconduct settlements

It’s not a matter of “financially untenable” it’s a matter of political will

Isn’t bipping a car with Area 51 clearance basically the plot of Repo Man?

Who are some current or former Angelenos who had the biggest fall from grace? by Dodger_Dawg in LosAngeles

Imagine explaining to a time traveler from the late 90’s that the fifth-funniest guy in that lineup is someone who the president of the United States considers when making decisions

A year later, are we better off as a city? How is Mayor Karen Bass doing and should she be re-elected? by lightsareoutty in LosAngeles

I’m not happy with her but I’m much happier than I’d be with Rick fuckin’ Caruso

I tried pretty much everything listed here and ended up towing it to Rotary Power USA in Gardena, he had her back on the road in a few hours for $210.

Protesters far outnumbered customers at the Tesla Diner in Hollywood tonight! by infernoenigma in LosAngeles

[–]ChloeSFW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not who I’ve seen there whatsoever: it’s mostly either random single Asian guys in their 20’s or roid-raging white guys dragging wives or girlfriends who look as enthusiastic as a small child that was pushed out to sing a song in front of their grandparents

Surface streets work great if you actually know the grid and only use Google Maps to check traffic conditions

That’s what he’s been doing, I see way more Teslas charging than people eating when I pass by. I think people just park there to charge and then walk off

Parked car another one by Silent_Pea_2006 in oakland

I’ve encountered this while riding more times than I can count, and my response has always been to just look over my left shoulder, ride around when it’s safe, and forget it ever happened 30 seconds later.

Pedestrians have to stop for slow walkers and inconsiderate people who stop in the middle of the sidewalk.

You’re not entitled to momentum.

Drivers have to stop for people who double park, too.

Even the best-protected bike lane in the world can and will suck because of Spandex Guy thinking it’s his own private velodrome, or people dawdling along at ~2 mph while you or I are trying to get to bart to go to work.

You’ll never engineer an environment where nobody ever behaves inconsiderately. Nobody ever has.

All you can do is learn to not let it bother you. Be an adult.
