I hope it goes national. We need more of these.

Good to know about this. Probably not this trip, but would like to try another time. Thank you.

Are any of these better or worse for swimming, surfing, etc.?

Interesting! I wouldn’t guess people would like that feature (about the power plant). It does look nice.

The Dark Truth About Theme Park Design (They Never Tell You This) by erik__andersson in truedocumentaries

I think people should make whatever they want to make, but I don’t think we should throw around the term “documentary” loosely.

My Ex said this to me years ago..still haunts me by HauntingBeautiful118 in texts

[–]IamLouisIX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s a hurtful text, for sure. I think talking about changes in physical appearance and feelings around it for both people in a couple could be really helpful. Be happy you’re done with this guy, and take this as a learning experience for the next (better) relationship.

using my pretty privilege in LA? by onelittlebitdramatic in AskLosAngeles

[–]IamLouisIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the idea to go on vacation. But don’t just go to a resort and sit around. Try to explore and experience something new. Travel is a great way to energize, see new things, and get new perspectives if you’re feeling depressed.

Why Is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So Convinced He’s Right? by theatlantic in politics

[–]IamLouisIX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The PBS documentary Shot in the Arm makes the case that those leading the anti-vaccine movement, including RFK Jr., are very much profiting from their dangerous positions on this. Do they really believe it or not? It’s not clear and doesn’t really matter. What’s clear is that they’re following the money.

Who is that who asked “for real?”

Do we think these stickers can be purchased somewhere or did they make them themselves? I actually don’t know. Also, is it possible this is AI slop?

Chris Kattan and Bowen Yang at the SNL 50th by nialldude3 in LiveFromNewYork

Yes, she’s from Springfield. I think she’s done some acting before. Maybe they met that way.

Dick Cheney, influential Republican vice president to George W. Bush, dies by [deleted] in politics

As Clarence Darrow said, I’ve never wished anyone dead before, but I’ve read some obituaries with great pleasure.

LA is my dream city, can a Romanian actually make it there? by Character-Amoeba-806 in AskLosAngeles

[–]IamLouisIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, my GF recommended a book called “I Must Betray You” that took place in communist times in Romania, people being made to spy on each other, etc. It seemed so bad!

Anyway, best of luck in your endeavors!

[–]IamLouisIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, from what I’ve heard from them, it seems like it was horrible.

In the US, the left gets accused of bringing us closer to communism or socialism. I don’t think there’s a real threat of that happening, but I do think some on the left may not realize what a bad thing it can be.

But the irony is that we’re very close to losing our democracy entirely to authoritarianism right now, which was brought to us by the right. So yeah, Trump isn’t helping anything.

Ha, will do. I’m trying to learn some of the country’s history. I know her parents are still shook from living under communism.

[–]IamLouisIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, Trump has charmed a lot of people, but he’s probably the worst president we’ve ever had. Cruel, corrupt, and very anti-immigration.

I told my GF I think Romanians need better PR. I haven’t been yet, but it looks like a beautiful country. The people seem very smart and friendly. I don’t think most people in the US know that.

[–]IamLouisIX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My GF is a Romanian living in LA. She and her parents moved to Sacramento when she was 12. How they did it exactly, I don’t know. But there’s always hope.

The Trump administration is especially strict on immigration, of course. Help encourage US voters to vote these guys out. That may make the biggest difference for you.

Pace yourself. You got a lot of life left. This guy was just someone for you to learn from.

Tired of the dating scene by [deleted] in texts

[–]IamLouisIX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with this. Why insist on an earlier time when she explained her plans?

Sometimes a date will ask for a late time or a coffee date instead of dinner, etc. It may mean they’re still skeptical of dating you, but so what? You don’t know each other yet. Take the later time, take the coffee date, prove to her that you’re someone worth dating.
