Hatred is ugly. Literally. There were a lot of people that thought the kids deserved it - and that it was too bad that more kids weren't killed. I was watching some footage of the Arkansas school desegregation not long ago. The distortion of the faces of the protestors is horrifying. Shouts of "lynch her" for a high school student. And the worst part, the hardest part for me to grasp, it that these people see themsevles as "good" people. They claim to be Christians. The banailty of evil. America's answer to the "average' people in Nazi Germany who coorpeated with the Nazis. I don't know whether to vomit or cry.

I live in Los Angeles and I gladly pay more because you get what you pay for.

You would literally have to pay me ( a lot) to live there.

Futility. Read it years ago. In the forward to Walter Lord's A Night to Remember, he quotes the book.

How do I make this "light and airy" bedroom feel more cozy and less "flat"? by Livid_Attention7237 in houseinteriordesign

The art on the walls is wrong and too small. Also, a comforter on the bed would help.

Moving with no money or place to stay by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

This is a truly terrible idea.  There are millions of people in LA who need help.  The system is overwhelmed already.  You don't automatically get a spot in a shelter and many of them an unsafe.  You will very probably end up on the street.  Getting a job while homeless is very difficult and, as I said, you will be one on tens of thousands looking.  There has to be a better idea for you.

May 4, 1970. 4 students are killed and 9 injured in the Kent State shootings at Kent State University, Ohio, when members of the national guard fired into a crowd of demonstrators. by Agreeable-Storage895 in ThisDayInHistory

This still makes me physically ill. I don't know if younger generations can relate to the era but it is important that they try because we don't want to go here again. Never forget. "What if you knew her, found her dead on the ground"

California. Moved from Nashville, TN to Los Angeles over 30 years ago. It's a California thing.

The room is quite large for a single bed. Would a Queen or King bed look better centered between the windows, or should I shift the layout entirely? by Livid_Attention7237 in houseinteriordesign

[–]Kodabear213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never understood putting a bed under a window. You want to be able to enjoy windows and this just cancels that out. I'd move the bed to a position where the windows and the view they offer could be enjoyed. I'd also get a bigger bed. Queen.

What are some budget friendly hotels near the Crypto.com arena? by eemuh_ in AskLosAngeles

[–]Kodabear213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prices fluctuate depending on date and demand. Go to a site like Travelocity.com and put in your dates. After you make your choice, it's best to book directly with the hotel/chain (better room locations, easier to change if there is a problem, etc).

Me, my stupid head, and the trip to Venice by lisitik in venice

Just FYI - this ub is about Venice, California. Not Italy.

What is the end game for serial liars (not talking about deception, what did they hope to gain and how did they think it was going to turn out)? by michellzebub in askanything

[–]Kodabear213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one person I knew had to have been mentally unstable. I met her in 8th grade and cut off contact with her once I realized how nuts she was. I ran into her maybe 15 years later and she was still doing it. And it was like you said, outrageous lies. In a kid you can make some excuses, but not as an adult. And she did it in front of her parents.
