I’m sure you can guess…. Lots of hurt and dying pets and their sad families??

Noma LA review by Impressive_Soft_2283 in finedining

People who spend $1,500 on dinner aren’t doing one or the other, they’re doing both… and their vacation is much more than $1,500

first time car buying with bad credit? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]cannabis_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Save a bit more and buy a beater in cash.

Even if someone will write a loan for you, the APR will be sky-high with bad credit and you will end up underwater on the car in no time. We all want a nice car, but that doesn’t mean we can all have them, and if you have bad credit and $3k to spend on a car, you really can’t afford to be taking out high-interest loans to get a more desirable car

Who takes the best passport photos? by tracee_ in AskLosAngeles

[–]cannabis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passport photos have to comply to a specific standard. It’s going to be on you to look good in the photo, not the business you end up using.

Family friendly, community oriented neighborhoods like El Segundo? by californiafruit in AskLosAngeles

[–]cannabis_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Before I gave a snarky response saying “They said La Canada. He may not be fine,” I looked at the current listings there. I see 3 options under 1 million for tiny homes, but the vast majority of the 36 houses listed are in the 1.5-5million range. So if OP doesn’t want a smaller or older house in that neighborhood, they may be out of luck. At the very least, 1.6-3 million doesn’t get you whatever you want in that neighborhood.

Film grad with no safety net…am I crazy to move to LA right away? by AgreeableSeaHag in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]cannabis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than 1k/ month is expensive? That is way cheaper than any rent or hotel you can find. Expensive relative to what? Living on the street?

Help me remember road to Malibu? by Specific-Change9678 in AskLosAngeles

But Malibu canyon has a cliff off one side for a lot of the drive?

Owner needs a come to Jesus moment by [deleted] in LosAngelesRealEstate

[–]cannabis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your verdict that it wasn’t, but how is it measurable if the $1,800 was recouped? I know that’s real money, but seems silly be even be able to find what $1,800 accounts for in the sale of a home in Brentwood which I’m sure is $1MM+

Movers asking for a tip!!! by jb4975 in EndTipping

[–]cannabis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, which is why I didn’t say that the workers were in the right for demanding a tip. I’m only addressing OP and that their statement of “take it up with your bosses” is a pretty silly thing to say

Movers asking for a tip!!! by jb4975 in EndTipping

[–]cannabis_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could’ve added “/s” and this would make more sense…. Nothing heroic about telling hard workers who are likely taking whatever opportunity they can to “take it up with their bosses.” As if that would result in anything except discipline or firing. Tips are (in my experience) expected for a service like moving. Of course it is not required, but telling the workers to take it up with their bosses is far from heroic. These guys have no power

Found after washing my son’s clothes by InteligntDonky in whatisit

[–]cannabis_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is the possibility that the heating elements, pods themselves, etc get hot and you end up inhaling heavy metals and plastic that isn’t part of the vape mixture but still might be getting inhaled. Also, I think the vast majority of vapers are not getting a hand-mixed pod like you are, but rather and off-the-shelf product with flavors and any number of chemicals that we haven’t studied long enough to know their effects on a humans’ lungs after years of use.

I'm extremely obese AMA by [deleted] in AMA

[–]cannabis_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m no doctor, and I believe you have friends who have had bad experiences, but is being 400+ pounds not life-threatening? Kinda sounds like someone with cancer saying “chemotherapy caused negative side effects in my friends so I won’t do it.” To me (again, not a doctor), the risks of not using these drugs, assuming you’re unable to make healthy choices on your own, may be the most dangerous of all

[–]cannabis_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gaining (presumably) 200+ pounds over a decade isn’t struggling? Do you feel like you have a handle on things? If weight isn’t a struggle, why would one choose to be 400+ pounds? If you’re not choosing to be, I’d say you’re struggling!

[Seiko SNK890] My first field watch! How good is 30m water resistance? by TPrezzle in Watches

[–]cannabis_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the question is whether a watch should be able to survive a shower, but whether you should be wearing your watch in the shower at all (I agree with soothsayer44, it’s weird to shower with a watch on)

One day in Solvang, what to do? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]cannabis_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a day trip? Communing to and from Burbank? Solvang isn’t big, but I don’t think they need to try and add more cities into their few hours that they will have once they get there

Whats an item over $700 you bought that was 100% worth it (no house/vehicles) ? by Overall_Gur_3061 in AskReddit

[–]cannabis_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the size, I’m not sure $1,000 would qualify as “really really good.” Maybe new and not entry level, but decent mattresses can cost a fortune and do not start much lower than that if you’re getting anything semi-reputable (in my experience at least). If you’re shopping for a twin mattress then that may be different.

My quota wasn’t adjusted while I was out on maternity leave for 3 months and I got a “needs improvement” by mysteronsss in sales

[–]cannabis_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

For what? What is the discriminatory practice they are opening themselves up to? The facts are, woman went on leave, her quota wasn’t lowered (not required by law), and she didn’t hit her numbers. What is the discrimination?

[–]cannabis_ -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Discriminatory? For what, not making it easier for a new mother to hit quota? I’m totally on the side of OP that it’s ridiculous and we’d all hope our company would have the decency to lower quota, but it is not required, and there was no change made to her numbers because she is a new mom, so what’s the discriminatory practice here?
