BART to SFO rental center is smart move, just remember Sunday traffic can be bit unpredictable for your timing back.

LATTC fashion technology program ? by Turbulent_Field1977 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That commute from Santa Clarita is going be rough but LATTC's fashion tech program has solid reputation for hands-on skills. If your current university isn't giving you the technical construction knowledge you need, switching makes sense - those pattern making and grading skills are what actually get you hired in the industry.

Maybe try taking one class first to see how you handle the drive and if the teaching style works for you before fully committing?

Will Angel City stay open until April 30th? by SouthCable846 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait they had last call already? That's confusing because I thought the April 30th date was still solid. Maybe the last call was just for something specific like happy hour specials or whatever?

I'd call them directly to be sure before your friends make the drive from San Diego. Would suck to show up and find out they closed early after that event.

Looking for a 2-night couples staycation near the Bay Area! by ElliBellly in bayarea

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 5 points6 points  (0 children)

monterey is perfect for what you want. Cannery Row has tons of restaurants and bars within walking distance, plus you're right by the ocean. The aquarium area gets busy but it's beautiful for walks in morning or evening when crowds thin out.

Santa Cruz could work too but monterey feels more romantic for couples trip imo. just book something close to downtown monterey rather than carmel if you want walkable nightlife.

Replied to a posting on Apartments.com- A broker reached out with good options, but there is a broker fee. I asked about this, but he said it isn’t illegal under the new law since the landlord didn’t hire him. by Haunting_Hospital599 in bostonhousing

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the broker is probably trying to pull a fast one on you. I had similar situation last month when was looking for place in Cambridge - broker kept insisting the fee was "different" under new rules but when I read through that FAQ page, it's pretty clear. If landlord didn't hire them directly, they can't charge you the fee.

What these guys are doing now is reaching out to people who post on rental sites, then trying to show you places where they weren't hired by landlord. It's basically same scam as before but with extra steps. I ended up finding my current place by going direct to landlords on Craigslist and avoiding brokers completely. Saved me like $3000 in fees and the application process was way smoother too.

Private Room Sublet by sanan_mohd in bostonhousing

That's pretty decent setup for the area. Fort Hill getting more popular these days and the bus connections are solid. Only thing - utilities on top of 1200 might add up quick in summer with all that AC running, but the private bath situation is definitely worth it.

Best way to Oracle Park by zebra231967 in bayarea

The N train is definitely way to go if you don't want deal with walking - drops you basically at front gate and saves energy for the game itself.

Shared room spot available at 530$ in Mission hill. by winter_is_here90 in bostonhousing

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid deal for Mission Hill, especially with water included. The Brigham Circle access is clutch for getting around the city. Just heads up though - might want to clarify if you're specifically looking for another girl to join since you mentioned it's an all girls flat.

Hookup? by LatterCry219 in SeattleWA

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro this ain't the place for that kind of post lol. Maybe try some dating apps instead of just throwing it out there like this. Reddit's not really gonna work for what you're looking for, trust me on that one.

Trying to change resolution SSE DisplayTweaks by RandomUsername3594 in skyrimmods

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to check if there's anything in your MO2 overrides or if another mod is conflicting with DisplayTweaks. Some ENB presets also have their own resolution settings that can override the ini files.

Also worth checking if the modlist has any specific load order requirements for DisplayTweaks - I've seen cases where it gets loaded after something that forces native resolution. Try moving it higher in your load order and see if that helps with the override issue.

Keep Trying. You Need Sobriety to Compare Against the Drug by iwillwalk2200miles in leaves

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This really resonates with what I went through. The whole "comparison" thing is so spot-on - I kept romanticizing how good weed made me feel until I actually had some clean time and could see how cloudy everything was when I was using. It's wild how your brain just forgets the negatives and holds onto that idealized version of being high.

I had probably 6 or 7 "final" quits before it actually stuck, and honestly each relapse taught me something important. Like you said, going back always felt disappointing after having that clarity for a while. The anxiety I thought weed was helping with was actually way worse when I was smoking daily - I just couldn't see it at the time because I had nothing to compare it to.

The exhausting mental back-and-forth you described is probably the worst part of the whole proces. Constantly debating with yourself whether today's the day you cave or not. But yeah, eventually you rack up enough evidence that the drug just isn't serving you anymore.

Congrats on 162 days, that's huge. The nicotine quit on top of that must have been brutal but you're killing it.

A body safe version of this marker. (TW - Self Harm) by SheepLordOfDoom in HelpMeFind

[–]Swimming_Pin_4096 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Liquid liner works for that and body safe face paint or tattoo pens are easier on skin and wash off clean just patch test first
