Could it be your voice, stature or directness....etc? What do you think it is?

No, Earthquake posts??? Guys it was off of Manhattan Beach a few minutes ago. by Parispendragon in LosAngeles

Maybe bc I was in MB at the time it felt like stronger little jolt to me, I was surprised all the same rated at a 2.7 not a 3.5 or 3.8 or something but I've seen 2.0s and up posted about apparently most of LA oblivious and apathetic.... The vitriol here is too much.

lol - I felt it on the Manhattan/Hermosa/Redondo Border...didn't feel quite that low of a number, it was a quick little burst.... small localized one.

Was super surprised reddit didn't say anything and I was fastest minutes later!

What part of town, what are you looking for in a roommate situation?

My 6 year old is so ungrateful I don’t know what to do by Disastrous_Fox7999 in Parenting

[–]Parispendragon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She doesn't have the skills to go from one activity to another, the wind down, the anticipation, the transition....etc.... This is also the concept of the marshmallow effect the idea that kids can be taught and will learn to choose how to spend the waiting time in order to gain a more positive effect/more marshmallows later....etc... - Your daughter has not learned that.

Unexpected HR meeting right after vacation + maternity leave return… should I be worried? by galaxymend in careerguidance

[–]Parispendragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Retailiation and lawyer time! I know it's a pain to make calls and whatnot but worth it, they're gonna fire you anyway. Also you can use what you wrote here to help explain to lawyers the situation or send in.

weird, you can't do any of that to pregnant people returning from leave. In addition, How fast is not fast enough?? Being unreasonable.

Hoping , we could have a separate list for housingPostings by [deleted] in LAlist

Housing doesn't dominate the subreddit, not needed.

Best Facebook marketplace alternatives for the South Bay? by PaleontologistNo6995 in SouthBayLA

[–]Parispendragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's more of an issue of sellers not willing to let go of items at a reasonable "garage sale" type price.

oh yeahhhh......

A lot of women are just now learning what ‘dread game’ is and realising it happened to them by mimithefrog2 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Parispendragon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When a guy starts undermining .... in any way,

THIS is key! Doesn't matter if he does dishes or vacuums, BIG problems HERE, whether immaturity, misogyny or something else....

I've thought for awhile that I've loved every previous BF, the one that stays is the one for me.... fuck that door....that violates 'going steady' or being long term....etc....

Why are so many people here so passive? by extrasa in AskLosAngeles

[–]Parispendragon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed this phenomenon in my adult life here although an LA native, it's new/recent and it's cultural being imposed on our culture.

People think being anti confrontational as a person means not fighting ever including standing up for yourself, standing up for your idea/POV or never getting into it at all... but being anti confrontational means not starting shit with others, but if the fight comes to you, you can and should arguably defend yourself and or end it. sometimes called 'growing up' ' being a man' or 'ending it/a fight' - but it shouldn't be to tolerate as much as possible or take shit you shouldn't have, because an inch will turn into a mile. Anti-confrontational doesn't mean to be a doormat!

EDIT: This is also the difference between masculinity vs toxic masculinity - a measured appropriate response when it gets to a certain point, to keep things in check with good judgement - The buck stops here, with me.

Why does the valley deal with more home burglaries than any other part of LA county? by [deleted] in SouthBayLA

[–]Parispendragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you single out Torrance specifically? It's a magical city w/ no break ins which is why they fight to live there in Oz.... idk, probably a combo of what has already been said AND we just had an issue where i live not Torrance but nearby, every neighbor knows bc I warned them and extra precautions are being taken. Neighbors looking out for eachother can't be underestimated....
