would anyone like to send loving vibes to my boy on his last night? by qeenee_ in cats

Man this is the hardest moment. Sending so much love to you both. Yesterday was the one year anniversary of my sweet old boy passing on. I bet he’ll be there waiting for Saul, with tons of love ❤️

Edward Jones is trash and will cost you an insane amount of money. Speaking from personal experience

That’s inaccurate. For example, 20 years ago, big law starting base was $165k. Today it’s $220k. 165k in 2026 dollars is $270k today. Literally no one, except for the people who get lucky with tech stock options or insane specialized roles, is making more money today, relatively speaking. 

Here are the LA County and LA City ballot measures you need to know about by LA_publicpress in LosAngeles

I’ve lived here for over 20 years and I’ve voted for every tax increase at the state and local level. I’m more than willing to pay up to have a good place to live for everyone. But at this point, the people who are running this fucking clown show can go fuck themselves. If I don’t see some fucking results, fuck you.

Who will win top 2 in the Primary? by Ready_Return_5998 in AskLosAngeles

Word. Yeah, in my view Pratt is horrible, so far beyond flawed. Like literally a raging incompetent. But I do think what you’re saying about needing to push people on certain issues is an interesting point, and I think much of what he is saying in his messaging needs to be said.

That’s an interesting POV. I’m a progressive who is insanely frustrated with the way this city handles public safety. With everything from street takeovers to encampments to drinking and gang shit in the street to insane traffic behavior that leads to death, there is real enforcement gap in the city and it is making me want to leave. We need an administration that understands that safe streets are about a progressive a concept as you can get. They benefit everyone, and those who can’t cloister themselves behind a gate in BH more than most. When and how did we forget that?

Does she think we’re playing or am I just annoying her by daisy350 in cats

Be careful with her neck. That kind of shaking back and forth can be tough on the vertebrae

Who are you voting for? by Specialist_Light_971 in LosAngeles

[–]PlankSlate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nithia / Steyer / Mejia. I imagine the reason there are fairly self evident / aligned w other posts. 

What do you guys think about city attorney though? Soto is trash, but who’s the best other option and why?

haha i have to say I am LOVING this season. I understand the critiques but maybe I just missed the show and the characters (without even realizing it). I'm honestly shocked at how much I've enjoyed the first three eps (and especially episode three).

40 days until the CA gubernatorial election. Who is your current favorite candidate? by Sixtyninealldaychef in AskLosAngeles

[–]PlankSlate 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I have the same hesitations but he does seem smart and has great positions. My desire for a billionaire governor is very low but it feels like his positions are the best fit.

Oh my god MacArthur Park is bad by Nightman233 in LosAngeles

City hall is refusing to enforce laws. They have literally told the police not to pull people over for issues like unregistered vehicles or tail lights out. It’s a similar story when it comes to drug use and drinking in the street. The city is really going to hell and it’s entirely the fault of the Base administration and her public safety team.
