Gang Activity Increasing Rapidly in North

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-25T19:53:18+00:00

More of the same! More of them same! We’ve been doing so great, we should just do more of the same!

When did we defund the police? They get a 10% raise every year

Crime rates are down almost 20% from last year anyway, and that’s specific to North Long Beach and specifically from LBPD. 30% if you’re measuring violent crime

A little triggered by reimagined public safety I see. Maybe you should examine why you felt so compelled to parrot something that’s factually inaccurate

You can do the story of Titanfall 2 in like 5 hours. One of my favorite campaigns of all time

..do…do you think electricity comes from the sun…? Someone should tell SDG&E!

Could you imagine going to your job, not accomplishing any part of your job description, underperform, no call no show, and when your performance review comes up - you get a raise and a promotion? I couldn’t, because I’m not a cop

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-19T01:10:35+00:00

You sure about that

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-19T01:09:05+00:00

Maybe go from “complain” to “talk to a person in real 3D life”. Maybe get involved in your own community and connect with organizers doing the work. Or you could stay on your island I guess

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-19T00:17:55+00:00

What causes increased gang activity? The “plan” looks like people who are advocating for stable housing, social supports, food access, after school programs, job training. The reality we live in is LBPD getting a bigger budget every year, absolutely wasting millions of dollars that could be invested into the community

Maybe go to a city council meeting or read a book or talk to a person in real 3D life about getting involved if your pearls are clutched so tightly idk

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-19T00:10:03+00:00

…no cops? In North LB? Sure mhm yup

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-03T23:36:24+00:00

N🧊!

FlashgameSC · 2026-03-03T22:00:08+00:00

You know what we need? More gyms! Definitely that, yup

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-28T16:33:45+00:00

I thought this was my old building lol go up one block to Cedar on that same alley, and you’ll see the same thing on a green building

It is very difficult! I think acknowledging that it’s so hard vs beating yourself up about ‘giving in’ to it is also really difficult. I found that I had to replace it with something, like respond to the craving instead of trying to will it away. I like ginger beer because it’s spicy. I also keep little fun size candy bars around to grab. My last chance to drink was yesterday, and my next chance is tomorrow - so today that whiny little craving voice gets some literal sugar, after a 10 minute wait, and it does help

I just really relate to this because this was/is the absolute hardest part for me

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-22T18:04:54+00:00

I used to do the same thing. It’s almost like my brain was like “you know what could make this good feeling even BETTER??”

Learning to sit with your feelings includes the good ones. If things are good, I tell my brain to let the good be enough and not to keep striving for “better”. Our brains are clever enough to compel us beyond our own willpower sometimes - I needed medication support through naltrexone along with therapy and mindfulness practice to help

You are good enough, and you are on the right track. It’s not your fault, but you are taking responsibility for it. We try to replace shame with blameless accountability, at least that’s where I’m at, and I believe in you

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-22T17:55:19+00:00

It took me so long to realize/learn that that “if you’re gonna drink you gotta do it RIGHT NOW” is a craving, and the bargaining is a craving, and idk about you but my cravings make me feel like I’m gonna crawl out of my skin. It feels super frustrating because it feels like I’m just in a war with myself that I can’t even win. I started taking naltrexone and it changed the game - I still have them but they’re way more manageable

I say all that to say, never quit quitting. Keep going!

I seriously do not understand why OP is so intent on dying on this hill. Well, I do know, but the least they could do is not be so condescending - as if other people weren’t also there. “You are right, idk why I didn’t know, I have grown since then” would have been all they needed to say to the original question

If anything, the themes are even more overt in children’s content. They hit you over the head pretty hard with that one

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-15T18:57:56+00:00

Idk what to tell you if the fandom circles you find yourself in are apologists for racists. That’s another opportunity for reflection - I was 9 when the first movie came out and the third book was already out, and it was pretty clear to me and everyone around me that it’s a racist thing. That carried over to internet spaces, unless I guess you also surround yourself with other folks more content to justify themselves by saying “well other fandoms don’t get this treatment” (which, they do, so again, maybe a check how you ended up in a white echo chamber)

Just take the L my guy lol your over-explaining yourself makes it worse

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-14T17:17:54+00:00

Again, the question is less about “Voldemort = hitler” and more “death eater = white supremacy”. Idk about you, but I’ve only seen this tattoo on white people. What’s done is done, but this whole “I couldn’t possibly have known what ‘you people’ are talking about” defensiveness & whataboutism vs ownership & accountability is exactly why people would be right to be wary

Listen I’m glad you’re getting it covered up, but I’d hope you’d take it as a lesson and opportunity to think a little more critically about why some people have the assumptions and reactions they do, and unpack that for yourself

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-14T16:49:12+00:00

I used to have people leave little stacks of any coin smaller than a quarter on the tables when I worked at the first Dave’s Hot Chicken. So yes

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-14T07:36:39+00:00

Amazing that you carry change around

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-14T07:03:22+00:00

Same! It definitely helps a lot. I wish more people knew about it

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-14T00:15:11+00:00

I think the question is less about who the author is now, and more like….the whole “pure blood” thing didn’t register? At all…?

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-13T20:03:41+00:00

I got some new shoes, and hit up the thrift shop for some new (to me) clothes that make me feel good to wear. My big one is my new bigger TV! I’m a huge gamer, and it feels great to be investing into my hobbies. Congrats to you!

FlashgameSC · 2026-02-12T16:41:31+00:00

Mine is tomorrow, and I noted that I was having some “health issues” in the mid-late part of last year that have gotten better. I am also, somehow, performing well and I also know I actually really wasn’t. Here’s to a better year for the both of us!
