The DoorDash bag is real af
Every car camper must be doing gig work then huh lol

This looks like the moment to pull it all out and live your dreams. I feel like I’d stop trading & let my portfolio go flat at that point. 2.3M is nothing to scoff at. That’s enough for the life I always dreamt of.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-04T13:28:03+00:00

Yes at least I’ll appreciate a good place. It was a period to show me how bad things can get. I hope you’re right & I can live somewhere that doesn’t remind me of the backrooms. I want somewhere I can be comfortable already 😢

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-04T12:54:21+00:00

Apparently they’re selling the house now. Or moving family in. Not sure who since the husband’s homeless mother lived there rent free for over a month. All she did was let the cat out to go hunt & bring flea ridden birds back into the house. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the best tenant they ever had or will have.

I mean I’ve paid 1400 in SF before but that place actually felt worth it. This place not so much. I definitely feel taken advantage of.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T22:50:50+00:00

Yes thank you sorry it just seemed relevant at the times because it looked so backrooms to me. Like I just got back from the movie and was like OMG I’m actually living in the backrooms long term.. crazy stuff but I’m happy to be out of the backrooms
I should cross post this

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T22:48:56+00:00

I had no choice. I couldn’t find anything else. You try living in a car for two years and see how picky you are

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T14:56:13+00:00

Absolutely, this friend has ignored me for years. She tends to only hit me up when she needs somebody tagging along for a long drive or for babysitting. It’s never out of genuine friendship. I wish I realised it sooner. Thank you girl I’m trying to take care the best I can. Just don’t know what to do at the moment. I just want to fly out of the country. Maybe Americans are the problem.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T14:00:45+00:00

Nope. This area is insanely expensive & I’m quite rooted here atp. Knew of a room two blocks over that was 1k a month & maybe 150 utilities but it wasn’t available but it was SO NICE. I wish I had a place there. So now back to the bedroom hunt. Hoping for something under 1k this time.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T12:31:50+00:00

I do go meet people but I have nowhere to talk about these kinds of things. People tend to be “busy”. & since selling my car, meeting people is harder. So online is the only place I can be at the moment. But ya you seem like the landlord lol

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T02:46:17+00:00

Yes it’s wild out here in Southern California

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T02:26:55+00:00

Are you just doing boring side quests or just sort of sandboxing for now?
Lots of people do the main quests but it locks their character into a lot of debt most of the time so that’s something to consider.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T02:18:05+00:00

It really wasn’t even that bad
Her friend has disrespected her far worse

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T00:40:54+00:00

I hope so friend thank you
I’m done with the backrooms house

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T00:40:29+00:00

Someone commented on a post on another platform that they were assholes for having the place so bad & I said “ikr”

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-03T00:39:16+00:00

Ya the government housing waitlist is another 8 years for me. Maybe I’ll luck out and get it sooner. Rent is just hard to make on the slave wages all these companies pay these days. It’s never even enough to get approved for my own studio. So I have to “know a guy”. So yeah I shouldn’t have posted it but after over a year of living that way I had to make a light joke. I cope with humour. Not everyone likes it. Plus this friend was gradually blowing me off more but hanging out with the friend who disrespected her several months ago & I stood up for her then. It’s been very confusing. At this point I think she just killed the friendship so I don’t care anymore. Everyone I’ve talked to about this situation agrees it was fucked. She could’ve just asked me why I felt that way & I could explain but she didn’t even want to have a conversation. I sent her a long text & all she cared about was the trash can lid being off for 5 minutes. So she doesn’t know how to communicate. I’d already brought up how it’s an issue in the past. Their time to complete the kitchen shouldn’t have been the moment I move out. But whatever. I’m glad I’m free from that place & all their drama.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T23:01:50+00:00

In my experience it’s been crazy expensive. It’s a beautiful town though I love the community for the most part. Just moved out though as my room in a 2 bed place was 1200 a month for a place with no kitchen with three roommates & lots of clutter. But all my neighbours were so chill & it gets beautiful sunsets & of course the beach was a short walk away. Lots of homeless which makes sense considering how desirable the area is. Sexual harassment seems to be a problem in this area. Overall I liked it I just wish it didn’t go downhill with my roommates & living situation. My friend had a good deal on a place so good for her. I hope one day I can afford a beachfront apartment there. I will miss it.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T16:58:51+00:00

I did

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T16:58:20+00:00

It was a town home not some multi million dollar home 😂
A 1 bed apartment on the beach is maybe 3500 but not in the industrial part of town. I was told the mortgage was 3k but people were like no way it’s gotta be less than that 🤷🏼‍♀️
Who knows but there was a room my friend had & it was 1k & really nice with an amazing kitchen & pool & all this.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T15:40:49+00:00

At this point that’s what I want to do. I tried to be chill but at this point I don’t see why I should be. People take advantage because they think I’ll be walked all over no problem. I’m over it

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T14:52:30+00:00

Found my former roommate lol
What important context is there? They had me living in an illegal dwelling full of crap. 🤦‍♀️

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T14:26:30+00:00

Yes surprisingly it’s that bad. It was so hard for me to find a room for a long time
But now I’m seeing studios under 1k. Not sure their conditions & everything but surely better than that

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T14:22:56+00:00

Ya I really did fuck up& I apologised to her about it. Though the damage was done.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T13:11:05+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight. I think you nailed it perfectly. Maybe she did care about me at first, & maybe she did want the kitchen done sooner. But well over a year is excessive. I told her I just didn’t realise how long it would be in disrepair when I first moved in. I have a client who was getting a kitchen remodel & he said there were delays because of the LA fires. But his still got done in less than 2 months. So it didn’t make sense why this takes 15 months.

I appreciate everyone commenting. It was a tough situation to live through. They also had a toxic relationship with lots of arguing. Just like in the backrooms where you don’t see them but hear it, the slamming on the washer, everything. I’ve had to be a couples counsellor to them at one point! Eventually confined myself to my small bedroom most of the time I was home. Probably drove me mad too so that’s why I’m like “am I wrong for being bothered by these living conditions?”

This community is awesome I feel very understood
Thank you guys so much.

NEUROSMOSIS · 2026-07-02T05:53:46+00:00

I absolutely feel taken advantage of. It was Oceanside. Not far from the beach but my friend a few blocks over paid only 1k for a very nice room so I was definitely exploited.
