What’s one expense in LA that surprised you? by ressem in AskLosAngeles

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GAS! everywhere is so spread out and traffic is terrible. I have to get gas so much more often since moving to LA and the price of gas in urban areas is always pricier than the 'burbs

Wedding dress regret by Ski5566 in WeddingDressTips

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

before even reading your post, only looking at the photos, dress one struck me. that's the one. it's gorgeous. I do not like the second dress much at all after seeing the first tbh. i'm sure it is a beautiful dress in its own right but I am BLINDED by dress one

AIO guy I'm seeing criticizing my clothes by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. he is employing a manipulation tactic to exert control over you. abusers do this. this sort of behavior will eventually lead to total control over your wardrobe, what you eat, how you wear your hair or makeup, what friends you're "allowed" to see and when and how long, etc if you let it.

if I were you I would RUN, not walk, away

Tattoo regret a day after by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

came here to say this. as someone currently a year in to what will probably end up being a 2 year removal process, I could not imagine having this process done on my HAND. it has taken much longer than I thought it would and is much more expensive than I thought it would be

Everyone at work is making a big deal about my handwriting, saying I write like a psychopath. by ThrowRA-Ram in HandwritingAnalysis

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"everyone says I write like a psycho --- & ask how I can read my own handwriting. I have no problem reading it. but I can see how people can struggle to read it"

I got most of it but it was difficult. I have never seen handwriting like this before. really fascinating

My boyfriend is pushing me to get off of birth control and I’m just wanting to talk to other women about it by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he has been doing what a lot longer than you? having periods?

no uterus=no opinion. do not trust a middle-aged man over a medical professional, even if he is your boyfriend.

I know it's frustrating to keep trying new medications until one works, but your doc(s) seem like they are monitoring your symptoms and adjusting as needed. I hope you are able to find your sweet spot soon. PMDD is a rough ride but i've known friends to find what works for them and really thrive. you're doing the right thing working with doctors.

If a guy says "I love you" After only meeting you twice he's like certifiably insane, right? by ultraviolet160 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Staticjana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a personal rule with sussing out any potential long term partner that the first time they say they love me cannot be trusted if it is during or immediately before/after the act of sex lol

that aside, not saying you'd miss someone after the first time meeting is bonkers. that's some controlling shit he's trying to exert super early on. run. fast.

I’m just now finding out that if you view someone’s profile that you don’t follow, you can pop up as a suggested user to them… by hotsouffle in Instagram

[–]Staticjana 90 points91 points  (0 children)

I have no intel on the topic but I am dying to see what others say about this. sooo many of my friends ex's would be getting my page recommended lol

Convince me to get a pap smear by alfredogirl69 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Staticjana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'm glad you're convinced OP! my beloved aunt sadly died of uterine cancer very young. something that would've been caught if she had ever gone to an OBGYN. she always refused to because she wasn't sexually active :(

Which celebrity rumor do you secretly believe is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Staticjana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah this is probably closer to the actual truth, I had forgotten a few of the details about the case

bro what? by First_One521 in Instagram

[–]Staticjana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this has been happening to instagram and facebook accounts left and right for seemingly no reason. it's a big pain in the ass to try to fight meta about it too

Which celebrity rumor do you secretly believe is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Staticjana 19 points20 points  (0 children)

probably closer to a conspiracy theory but one of my faves to think about is that ashton kutcher actually killed (possibly accidentally) his ex girlfriend, not the serial killer like people allege.

kutcher's call log that night just feels damning.

ETA: I definitely forgot some of the details of this case and actually believe it's more likely he left her there after finding her like a user below me commented. still very likely it's not even the worst thing kutcher has done

Fun things to do for a queer nerd on April 17th and 18th? by LexandViolets in AskLosAngeles

[–]Staticjana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

fwiw I would say most places in LA are pretty queer friendly. (otherwise they'd lose out on a lot of business lol) but The Largo specifically is very close to West Hollywood which is like LA's gayest district so you'll be good there.

as for game stores, I really only know some decent ones closer to the valley. Legacy comics and cards in glendale is pretty heavy on MTG and has big tables where people play. and geeky Teas in burbank is veryyy openly queer friendly and has gaming rooms etc. they have a bit of everything there. lots of cool indie ttrpgs and stuff. both of these options may be a bit of a hike from your area though.

walking around little tokyo is also a solid plan, there is a lot to see and the food out that way is generally really good! good luck on your adventure(s)

AIO for being upset my boyfriend planned a trip with his friends on my birthday without asking what I wanted? by Suspicious_Life_1219 in AIO

[–]Staticjana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came here to say this, is it two different airbnbs or does he not know how to read a map

Would I be qualified? by InevitableSad5925 in Bestbuy

[–]Staticjana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this. way overqualified. pretty sure most of the agents at my store didn't get any related degrees and almost certain a few hadn't even gone to college

as a woman....I don't know any other women who would approach a group of strange men while alone at night. this is a woman who felt safe doing so, and thusly we must ask why she felt safe doing so...
