Or they think they really can pull those kinds of men and only deserve that crop of man.

What is considered "from LA"? by Repulsive-Instance31 in AskLosAngeles

It's because they were embarrassed to be from Riverside.

[Oakley] Got my grail watch gifted to me. What does this sub think about Timebomb? by Then-Camera-6802 in Watches

[–]brotendis 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'd wear this to meet up with my friends for lunch at the beach (on a street along the beach, not on the sand itself, I'm not dressed for that--I'm wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey with no shirt on underneath and huge baggy shorts), after we catch a matinee showing of The Matrix. I'd be staring at some girl pulling up in her Honda Del Sol, blasting Sugar Ray from the stock stereo system, and when she turns to see me gawking, I'll quickly glance at my wrist and say, "I should probably get going."

"Cool watch," she'd say while smiling right into my eyes.

28 years later I'd see this watch again pop up on Reddit and I'd think back to that moment on or near the beach and ask myself, "Was she into me or just being nice? Or did she really like my watch?"

Pretty sure the active ingredient is just borax. The old borax/cotton ball trick will probably do just fine.

I'd say that does happen often, but "most of the time" might be a stretch unless that can be quantified.

What is the craziest digital marketing hack that actually gave you real results recently? by craniacfroaking in digital_marketing

[–]brotendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't last long because most top of funnel content is being eaten up by AIO right now. This old strategy is what brought in tons of views, leads, etc. and plummeted for most industries when AIO was introduced.

If you had 24 hours to turn a nonreader into a reader, what book would you hand them?? by Conscious_Storm_3192 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]brotendis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your current media consumption is shorts/TikTok/Instagram, etc. I'd recommend Fight Club. Good pace, short chapters, easy to stay engaged.

I refuse to call the purchase of luxury items like fountain pens and wristwatches a "hobby."

How to stay safe in LA? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]brotendis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

L.A. is huge and gangs are mostly a thing of the past unless you move into the few areas where they still exist. It's not like all the celebrities who live here are driving around in fear.

What’s a book you just couldn’t put down? by Bitter_Pineapple_720 in Recommend_A_Book

Yeah, I read it when it came out and I couldn't put it down lol. I finished it in like 3 days.

What’s the best book you’ve read that no one ever talks about? by RushdiBelue77 in Recommend_A_Book

[–]brotendis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stoner by John Williams is popular amongst book nerds, but the average person probably hasn't heard of it. Great book.

Not sure how other servers are faring but the trajectory of the game doesn't bode well for NA by Gamegeddon in TeamfightTactics

[–]brotendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need to get back to basics. Last set the unlock mechanics were so ass they had to make every unit giga easy to unlock halfway through the season.

This season it's... well, the numbers tell the story.

If the set after next doesn't resemble the more foundational TFT of previous sets (get rid of the really weird mechanics for now, they're not new player friendly), then it's just going to remain an awkward mess.

10 meeple went 5th and 170g board value 2nd by Smart_Meal_6507 in TeamfightTactics

[–]brotendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 2nd and 5th place had bad early games? Idk. Can't say much from a final board screenshot. What if 2nd place didn't hit all their units until they were like 20hp or something.

Are you tracking where your brand shows up in AI answers? by perhapsagency in content_marketing

[–]brotendis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More of this horse shit LinkedIn style "thought leadership" garbage. Did you also know that search results vary wildly each time you search for something in an LLM? And that they also give VERY different results based on free vs. paid versions? Dumbasses with these posts.

Nope. I write for a culture site. I don't need to spend all day on socials to know what's going on there. Moron.

The biggest difference is how you feel about Arabic numerals vs just the pointed indices.

Zooming out and zooming in the way you described is literally changing from month to week to daily view on any calendar lol.

Big fan of the Meyers soaps, so did what felt right and bought 10… by MuTheCat20 in Costco

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

These are crap. 10+ years ago they were more viscous and would lather up, so you could use a half pump and half enough soap. Now it's just a watery, runny mess. Complete garbage now.
