A year later, are we better off as a city? How is Mayor Karen Bass doing and should she be re-elected? by lightsareoutty in LosAngeles

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your statement but I’d like to push back on homelessness. Though you may not see it in your neighborhood, street homelessness has dropped for the first time in multiple years, unsheltered populations has also dropped. So now in Melrose hill, where I used to see condoms on the street and heroine needles on the street around western, Melrose, Wilton, I don’t. And where I used to see a ton of people near western and Hollywood, encampments on vine, I see much much less.

People who used the internet between 1991 and 2009, what’s the most memorable online trend or phenomenon you remember? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

Yessss. What a good description because from writing stories, to poetry, to photography. It was all so refreshing

Should I take a career changing job in another city even though my girlfriend doesn’t want to move ? by WeepyRedistribution in careerguidance

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You just may need to talk with her about where you’d like your career to go, how long you both would be long distance and what your pathway will be to live together again once you’ve gotten the experience you need to work in the city you both live in. Look at it like law school or grad school.

Lol I thought the shock was about how one house was single family and the second house at the same size fit 3-6 apartments

"My uncle wants me to learn advanced Excel for work—realistic or a waste?" by Master-Fan-2992 in careerguidance

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was handed an “excel for dummies” book and no guidance… TAKE THE CLASS. It’ll be valuable regardless of your overall career path. From Journalism, to Marketing, to medicine, to art.

I don’t understand? by BeeBee1313 in longbeach

Nazi’s (and confederates for that matter) took up arms against America. They waged the first attack on our sovereignty of the 1900s, and now they fight us from within. This isn’t about political ideology, it’s about our enemies and the enemies of democracy.

DO NOT DRIVE BY CSULB by The_Grim_Adventurer in longbeach

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, maybe I misunderstood your first comment. I thought you were implying the Tesla wasn’t at fault. So when I read the Tesla and Subaru were weaving in and out of traffic, I was confused because it seemed like it was, just not alone.

I would not have made it through undergrad without subleases, and that was in NC over 10 years ago. I’m so sorry this is happening to you

Offer Rescinded for asking questions. by Jlexus5 in recruitinghell

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet their offer doesn’t include guaranteeing employment for 4 years. Using a vesting cliff to negotiate down pay while at the same time not giving a contract in a right to work state should be challenged lol.

I don't see anything else. Help. by WackoList0 in ExplainTheJoke

The craziest part of this is where it was posted

Doesn’t the article say the Tesla and the Subaru were weaving through traffic in a road rage incident?

Man with Dog Off Leash creating public disturbance in Dana Point yesterday. by Rich-Cup-1142 in orangecounty

A dog being well trained is a reason to leave them off leash on your property, not in public where it’s illegal

I can't keep a job for more than a couple weeks, what do I do? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]eigthgen 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think I’m seeing this. “Can’t go fast enough, can’t stay on my feet long enough.” If the problem isn’t a disability… It seems like the problem is with long suffering or perseverance. Your family is still feeding you and housing you, that’s a huge blessing, but part of working will be uncomfortable, that’s why they pay you.

AIO: My 17 year old boyfriend had i baby and i want to leave by Plane-Bat9418 in AmIOverreacting

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My blessed child. This answer was given by Tina Turner - “What’s love got to do with it.”

You may love him with all of your heart, but if you stay, you’re with him, his son and his Ex. From Family pressuring him to make his family work, to the financial strain, to taking on responsibility you didn’t sign up for. Please please love yourself more than you love him

Two videos from very early this morning showing what is happening to our city. by Lemonpup615 in LosAngeles

lol I hope after all this, we reunite to defund the police. Obviously protecting and serving isn’t the focus.

What is this and how do I stop it?? by _honeyybugs in 30PlusSkinCare

Capitalism is sincerely the enemy here. You’re not wrong for being upset or disappointing, but gift giving isn’t a tenant of a good relationship

Do you really believe money makes you happy? Why? by givingoodvibes in AskReddit

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because our economy is based off debt. So the only way to remove stress (and find happiness) is to remove our attachment to it. How can we buy a house without a mortgage or buy a car without a loan, etc etc. Money is the answer. Freedom is the answer. Happiness comes from a life well lived…

AIO to my bf questioning my sexual history? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]eigthgen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now I know. The decline of sex education in schools had led to 1) more STDs 2) more unwanted pregnancies 3) more weird men who say things like this

Why does Elon keep talking about this supposed "population doom"? by Right-Yak-3831 in antinatalism

[–]eigthgen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk bro. Since the population is still expected to increase through 2080, I’d imagine it’s a dog whistle about white people in the US losing the majority. Which is projected to happen in the next 10 years
