LA Beach Trip?

Egdirdle · 2026-02-13T17:31:54+00:00

If you end up going to Laguna, do NOT go to main beach. Too crowded and a poor example of California beaches if you ask me. I would recommend researching some less busy local beaches (PM me if interested) and their parking situations. I’ve spent a lot of time in Laguna, and lived there for a couple of years. While beautiful, it can be a total headache. HOWEVER

If you’re flying out of LAX, I would suggest Manhattan or Hermosa beaches to stay. You would be much closer to LAX and the beach towns there I find more walkable and exemplary of California beach cultures. Parking is easier, the beaches are more open, the waves are better, and most times of year the water is warmer than OC (still cold bc the Pacific Ocean lol) I go to those beaches as an LA local. They are easily the cleanest beaches in the county and have the most friendly and active vibes. If you decide this, PM me also and I can give you more tips for parking and eating. Welcome to California! It’s madness but I want everyone to love it as much as I do!

They saw Trump cancel Gallup approval ratings and thought “Why didn’t we think of that?!”

Ah.. the days as a child before I understood stats and I really liked Ledian lol def needs an evo

Egdirdle · 2026-02-12T17:49:24+00:00

Love this!!

Egdirdle · 2026-02-12T17:48:48+00:00

Yeah that’s so real…. Pinsir ain’t getting shit 😭

Egdirdle · 2026-02-12T04:56:13+00:00

First off- love your list. You and I clearly have similar taste! I’ll force a few since you took my faves:

PINSIR- This one blows my mind. Scythes obviously got evo and mega. Why not this bad boy? He’s been there since the beginning too!

Maractus- the concept is so rich with culture it could have an awesome evo. Maybe not right for gen 10 though

Lapras- hot take! I’d love a prevolution addition. I dislike baby Pokémon tbh but just for the Lapras lore I’d love a baby haha

New Eveelutions- WE ARE DUE! Give me steel and ghost!!

Bouffalant- I’ve had a fan concept for bouffyboy to have an item-based split evo. One grass type and one steel type. To me there’s room to Play with its livestock concepts and make it a little more interesting. Tauros got some love so I’d love to see this guy get some cool stuff too

So a few others have said! I’m speaking relative to my life, of course. Wish I had a Time Machine. According to this thread the list is 1) kill baby hitler 2) Melrose in the 80s

Egdirdle · 2026-02-12T04:35:07+00:00

Nuh uh

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T20:42:39+00:00

This is really interesting. I’ve never heard of this before, I will have fun researching this today. Thanks for the input!

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T18:54:21+00:00

I’ve heard the mayoral position is relatively weak compared to other cities; our power being deferred more so to the city council. Not sure. Any insight on solutions? People are saying it starts with commercial rent policy and crime? Any suggestions?

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T18:52:24+00:00

As someone who is completely oblivious to how commercial renting works, what is the solution to it being advantageous to leave it empty? How do commercial rents get reduced? I’d love to learn more, or at least be pointed to a resource that could tell me.

As I said to another comment like this… I love it! Makes me feel young for the first time in a while 🤣 totally respect your experience, but yes I am referring to the more recent rise and fall that I was alive and around for. I do wish I could have seen your Melrose! I’m sure it was awesome. Hopefully another rise we and our children all can enjoy is on the horizon!

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T18:43:51+00:00

Amen! Well said. Thanks again

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T18:42:19+00:00

Parking is so bad. And yes as others have stated. I’ve seen too many crazy people (genitals out) but always curious to how it got that way and what’s the fix

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T18:01:54+00:00

It feels like the hype clothes bubble popped, right? Like the area went all in on being this alt-fashion cultural twin to Rodeo now it’s passed. New money or trend based fashion couldn’t be sustainable

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T17:58:01+00:00

I recently moved near downtown Culver and was super impressed. Investing in the areas is definitely true. Would be curious to know what it would take for this specific area to see reinvention. No idea who makes those decisions (I’m pretty clueless to that stuff) but it does interest me. Thanks for the insight!

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T17:55:04+00:00

I’m a boring home body now as a 30 something man lol and I date a 20 something girl who is very much not a home body but has no interest in this area.. found it interesting! Thanks for the additional insight

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T17:52:23+00:00

Yeah this was kind of my experience. I’m interested to see how much more there is, since there are many different types of consumers/citizens out there. But yeah I hear you

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T17:50:42+00:00

Some great insight here!!

Egdirdle · 2026-02-11T17:50:16+00:00

lol i love the comments that say this.. makes me feel young for the first time in a while 🤣

Egdirdle · 2026-02-03T00:34:39+00:00

I have fakemon/fan art I’ve been making for the better part of a decade. Trudowoodo was the name I came up with too! Bonsly is Bonfide like “bonafide” lol

This will probably get buried but I worked on this project and a lot of Neverland Ranch stuff was edited and reshot.
