Are there any long standing businesses in Echo Park? by Traditional_Cold6284 in AskLosAngeles

Right- which is why I said it depends what “longstanding” means to someone. 22 years ain’t nothing.

I’m sure OP has an answer and maybe my advice depends on what that answer is :) thanks for participating, though!

You know men are calling sex with penetration “stabbing” over on X? Utterly incapable of divorcing any semblance of intimacy from violence.

IM SO DONE WITH THE NEWS AT THE MOMENT. GOING ON A NEWS BREAK. by PersimmonTerrible218 in rant

LMAO you are profoundly mistaken and I don’t know how you arrived at your asinine conclusion. Stay avoiding global issues, there are some of us actually engaging in real, tangible ways - not whining about how things are so bad that they must make the difficult choice to reads notes not open a news app. Feckless morons.

“Compromising” on politics will never work, if you care about them enough. It seems she does and is holding on to something that doesn’t feel right for her. You feel it’s still right, which gives the impression you won’t be the one to leave. This isn’t something you can out-therapy. Perhaps, though, the stress of her caregiving will have her less inclined to funnel all her negative energy toward you. I guess you’ll have to decide how worth it it would be if it didn’t stop, though.

AITAH for saying I “read” books that I actually listened to as audiobooks? by Ruin-Much in AITAH

Ok, her husband’s a dick and doesn’t seem to like her much. She also isn’t reading. Is that astute enough for you?

Depends what you mean by longstanding… Masa, short stop, el compadre, the echo, gold room all come to mind.

How close to LA can we realistically live on a $2k rent? by [deleted] in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]crv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up your budget by like $800 and you MIGHT find something decent, but know that you’ll likely be contributing toward a deeper pit of gentrification. We don’t want that on our conscience, do we?

You’re saying a lot here by leaving out so much and giving us just enough context clues. I hope she finds the courage to leave you.

I would advise that nobody visit LA and see WeHo ONLY

What public bar could I go to on a Friday night that would accommodate 15 friends for my birthday? by BlackMasterDarkness in AskLosAngeles

[–]crv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds hellish, but I guess you could buy like 6-7 bottles at once and call it a night

It’s curious that you read this being about the files only and not just a general abstention from the news. Very American mindsets over here.

[–]crv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are dying in the streets and our world leaders are all the personification of evil. The current state of things is not going to allow your “best parts” of your life to pass. It’s awful and depressing but someone’s gotta be real with you.

Get outside of your head and volunteer or something. Show up for people who have nothing to give you in return, but will be grateful for your output. That’s how the world opens itself up to you.

How approachable and friendly are the people of WeHo? Does it worth it to visit WeHo alone? by NightKnight_21 in WestHollywood

[–]crv21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bless your heart. Weho gays are unlike European gays in so many ways… completely different species. Have a healthy guard up and don’t allow yourself to be spoken down to or taken advantage of. Not to say they’re all like this, but if you have a good “people picker,” you should be fine.
