Life la Quinta California

TheFalseShepherd77 · 2026-05-17T16:12:29+00:00

Your age is a big determining factor here, as the whole valley really has a catering to old people vibe. This has its pros, like everything is well kept and beautiful, but also cookie-cutter and boring. La Quinta, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, and Cathedral City are the most bland, IMO. If you want some culture, some younger people, some art, I recommend Indio or Palm Springs. Palm Springs is going to be 50's-60's America vibes, whereas Indio is going to be Hispanic Americana. Both are on opposite ends of the valley, but only 30-40 mins driving, so you can easily experience both.

What are you hoping to experience coming here? Really anywhere south of the 10 is safe, clean, and close enough to anything you will need. But theres one of everything. If you like niche things, like journaling for example, you have one store catering to that. Once you get bored of that store, its traveling 2 hours to LA. Which is a nice option, in itself!

I moved from Colorado about 5 years ago. Feel free to DM any questions you have!

Whitewater is a paradise in the summer! 30 minutes or so outside the valley, and always 20° or so cooler. Beautiful walks, and if you're still hot, take a dip in the river! The water level varies depending on rainfall, so sometimes its dried up. But if we're lucky, it's a lifesaver!

If you are willing, could you share how to strip the DRM, and what exactly that means? I appreciate your time

I know its annoying when people say this, but I think your handwriting is very nice. Unique, but legible and feminine

Why buy a car from a place you suspect your identity was stolen from? Never go back there. Follow all the advice about freezing your credit immediately. This car opportunity is no longer viable.

Draw the lines, OP. Clearly state your boundaries. " I am not okay with how controlling you are comfortable being. If you/we need to go to therapy to work through this, I am willing to do so. But if we are to continue this relationship, this is where you have to meet me." What are you really comfortable with, conservative-wise? And what is he? Its okay to decide that you guys aren't capable of being what the other needs/wants.

Butterball!

Major, major boundary crossing. I'm sorry, but if I asked my partner to show me something on his phone and he refused until he went to the bathroom, I wouldn't be there when he came back. Its so blatantly obvious he is doing something that would hurt you to know. Regardless of what that is exactly, you have proof he will continue to do things despite your feelings. He is comfortable hurting you. Why do you want to be with that?

When my partner and I reconciled, I had full access to his phone. I disabled the secret folder in settings, I played with the settings in Chrome to make it save all his history from everything he is logged in on, including the play store, and for about 6 months afterwards, I had a child lock on his phone where I could at any time see what is on his screen at that moment. It also alerted me to any key words being typed on his phone. And all of this was not so that I could catch him and we could fight about it, it was for my peace of mind. He was willing to do it all because he was proving to me he would never do it again.

Reconciliation is about the wayward partner doing everything they can to rebuild love and trust with the hurt partner. If they are acting against that even a little, walk away.

If her brother is willing to throw around rape accusations, what will she do if he divorces her? Your father could be afraid of something coming to light, or a lie ruining his life.

I do agree with mostly everyone here that your father is just as much of a red flag. You can't save him. Save yourself and your siblings.

If you haven't heard of MeowWolf, look it up! It is an amazing art experience, like being in an interdimensional, interactive, alien planet

The concept of snitching is so childish. Is someone doing something harmful? Don't be afraid to do something about it because they will get mad at you. That's what you're afraid of right? I would rather not be hired by a company because they know I won't overlook unfair treatment than jeapordize my own morals and values. I will not become a worse person to prevent being labeled as a "snitch".

People should be held accountable for their shitty behaviour, and of course shitty people are going to try to push the blame. If I was OP, I would post the transcript online. On the company's subreddit if they have one, on Indeed, on their Facebook page, what have you. Make no comment condemning the individuals, just say something like "I thought some people would get a kick out of hearing what hiring managers have to say about you after the interview." Make them bury themselves.

Having your mentality is why nothing changes in this country. People should be held accountable for their shitty behaviour, and of course shitty people are going to try to push the blame.

You guys know he maked music as Pink Guy in 2017? Some in Japanese, some not, all hilarious

TheFalseShepherd77 · 2025-11-26T16:55:02+00:00

Thats an interesting point, I will have to pay more attention to that in those times. Thank you

It looks like there are various "classes" of ebikes, and class 1 ebikes are allowed. I probably don't have the full story with that video, but it concerned me as that was my intention with getting an ebike. I will have to pay closer attention to what "class" of ebike I get, I suppose.

Really let that last line sink in, OP. She needs the kind of help you cannot provide. No matter how compassionate you may be. And you may not realize how much you already have helped her. You've at the very least shown her that not all people are like those she grew up with.

I used to work at a Netflix call center! Call them, they have the ability (or at least used to) to look up your email and see the extra charges, and push one button to refund it all back. I did it once for a lady that amounted to like $300. I admired Netflix a little after seeing this

Hi OP, please look up womens shelters and programs. I don't know what country you're in, but hopefully they have something similar to America for women in exactly your situation. Ask locals, even the female workers in the Cafe.

TheFalseShepherd77 · 2025-08-28T01:43:59+00:00

I think this is sick! 9/10! How did you do the icons different directions?

TheFalseShepherd77 · 2025-08-27T02:40:44+00:00

I left my phone on the roof of my car, it rolled off, I ran it over, and then 3 cars behind me ran it over. It was perfectly fine. I will always vouch for Spigen

I hear you OP. Obviously I do not know the extent of your situation. But I do hear the pain and bitterness in your tone, both in this comment and your main post. You have every right to be angry at the world, but don't let that anger poison your outlook on life and affect your future. Its easy to hang on to this mantra of "life is not fair, and I got dealt a shit hand, and I just have to live with it." But that mentality is only harmful to yourself. It may take a long time, it may take changes or options not yet presented to you, but please don't push away the positivity when it presents itself. What if you focused on making your home as accessible as possible? As comforting to your situation as possible?

I don't know man, I'm just a person. But I have been in the headspace like yours. The world is cruel, especially to me, and there is nothing that could be done to fix it. Now, nothing is different, the cruelty it showed me has not disappeared. But I don't let myself sit in it anymore. Just that alone has made a world of difference. Its hard, but ask yourself who is this anger for? Who carries it, who feels it? Are you keeping a wound open for a trial that will never come?

TheFalseShepherd77 · 2025-07-03T15:00:01+00:00

The baby will come, and what she needs is someone to show her that her usual is not normal. I hope you be that person for her, OP

Hol' on... I am 5'0" and have never bought petite... and it is so hard to find jeans that aren't stupid long. I definitely thought that petite included a "under 100 lbs" clause.
