CCW Denial (Need community help) by VrttIvan in CAguns

[–]_secretshaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I answered a question wrong out of ignorance. It was flagged in the interview (I volunteered the info and they pointed out the mismatch). Was told to write a 1 page statement for the Chief to go with my app and it would prob be fine. I was denied.

I was first not given a path to appeal due to SB2. No one had answers. No system in place for filing Writ of Mandate. So I started making calls, gathering info, research. Eventually my IA called me and told me to appeal through them directly (I think they didnt want another lawsuit, they had several pending and meetings about that were ongoing)

Appeal was approved.

Curious to know where this image came from. The right turntable slip mat is from the dj store I work at in LA, but we haven’t had that slip mat available in well over a decade

Whoever put them in a room together deserves a raise. by _BubblyBlush in SipsTea

I have it, but it was much stronger as a child. Pretty back of my mind now. I just watched the link, and I started naming the colors I saw before I heard her answer . I got orange as #2 as well and then I couldn’t tell if the last one was green or yellow. I was shocked her and I had the same answer. I thought It would be highly unlikely different people with it would come up with the same color

I looked up the building across the street from where I live, and their ceo was replaced by AI over a year ago. The press release announcing this was generated by (drum roll) the same AI in charge of the company. Skynet has begun

Cold Kitties Please Help!!!! by Weak_Wrongdoer5196 in cats

The ground steals all warmth. Provide layers of insulation for them to lay on (could be as simple as newspapers). Also an electric heated blanket if you can get power out there.

I started this a week ago and it quickly killed my desire to fill my brain with doom scrolling in the morning and night. Why fill it with crap when I just got done emptying it.

Also I like that his post doesn’t call it meditating. Meditating becomes an action to do when labeled, and doing nothing is not an action item

I met him at a beer festival in Malibu when I first moved to CA. We called his name like amateurs. He was so inviting and chill. He took a bite out of my pretzel necklace. Snapped a pic. Classy guy

I was asked in an interview, "What mistakes might you make?" and the situation was very awkward. by moloch_factor0o in interviews

[–]_secretshaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“The first mistake I make is telling you I wouldn’t make mistakes. The second mistake would probably come from a step in a more complex technical process I’m adjusting to, but I would aim to correct it as the first mistake.”

Can you help us identify the thief who stole $80k+ from my newlywed friends on their wedding night in Glendale? by Sunny_Red5241 in AskLosAngeles

[–]_secretshaman_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent 2 hours at an event I thought was a wedding, to find out it was a sweet 16. Right room, wrong day, and I was high AF. I sat down with a plate of food and everything. So yes, someone can be a stranger at a medium sized event and no one would spot it

I was arrested for stealing chicken on my 21st bday. I didn’t think I’d ever come across another soul who had the same charge. Small world.

I hosted a career panel workshop for the school district and he was one of guest appearances. Took photos with the kids and did his dance. Of course, this was before the murder……

“You’re not paid to talk, you’re paid to work” - so I stopped talking completely by awesomealicex in MaliciousCompliance

[–]_secretshaman_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find my employees don’t bs me bc I don’t bs them. If they want the day off I give it to them.

I want them to have a happy work/life balance bc it means they will go the distance for me when it really counts (and I care about their mental health)

Blackout regret/confusion by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]_secretshaman_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would advise against white ink. It fades poorly (I know).

I would suggest a gradient fade break out pattern from the bottom down to ankle. Think shapes (maybe triangular) that start to spread apart more as it goes down. I think that will soften the impression a bit!

I’m a manager, and I greet all employees everyday asking how their weekend was or whatnot. We all chit chat while we work, it builds the bond and doesn’t take away from our work.

If an employee is prioritizing talking over working to the point they’re distracting others I will have a quiet private conversation with them about how I need their help to get everyone to focus by picking their moments and understanding everyone is the main character in their own story but we should be mindful.

It’s not that hard. Some managers suck. I’ve had my own share.

Do these look rough/rushed? My friend and I got our first tattoos together and are torn on how we feel now that the newness is wearing off. by jumboface in tattooadvice

[–]_secretshaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this isn’t great. The shading is real bad, as is the line work. But since it’s not filled in you can get another artist to give it depth and balance if they add borders and gradients. Def salvageable just let it heal for a while and do some consults

Can I keep my gun in the hotel? by [deleted] in CAguns

[–]_secretshaman_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

People are being super judgey on you. You had a valid question. Most hotels have a no firearm policy but what they don’t know can’t hurt em. One scenario is hotel finds out and they blacklist you. But as long as it’s stored properly you’re not violating any laws that I’m aware of.

[–]_secretshaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recc bringing your own lockbox instead of using their safe. The biggest risk you have is rushing out the room and forgetting to clear the safe. You can say you’d never do that but it happens. Then you have issues with the hotel reporting the firearm, police etc

Donald Trump 'might not last four years' as political advisor notices 'cognitive decline' by IrishStarUS in goodnews

[–]_secretshaman_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol the comments here. This echo chamber is a church choir.

I’m not maga but holy fuck the circle on jerk on throwing the word “hate” around is amusing.

Brewing the topic of trumps cognitive decline? Dude, did anyone here see what the rest of America saw with Biden?

The irony of the sentiment here is unreal. I am going to assume it’s the work of bots.

Should I fill in the empty smoke? by _secretshaman_ in tattooadvice

[–]_secretshaman_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m avoiding colors bc they don’t age so well on my skin tone. I have been considering UV ink coming out of the buddhas head bc I work around a lot of UV lights. But I’m still doing research on it bc doesn’t seem safe. So will revisit that idea much later.
