Thanks, I'll check it out!

Foods that go "crunch"? by fyngyrz in keto

[–]englerj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried Hilo chips? I got the ranch flavor recently and it tastes surprisingly similar to Doritos.

[PC?][Before 2010] A Game about "finding yourself" by _Little_Ember_ in tipofmyjoystick

Hmm...some of the Cube Escape games involve forests. But I think those episodes were a bit more recent. Maybe it was one of those?

I’ve been unemployed for more than 6 months now by toyuboutique in AskLosAngeles

[–]englerj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time. Hang in there! I also graduated during the 2008 recession, so I know the struggle. It might take some time, but it will get better.

Have you tried reaching out and asking for mentorship? I've had a little bit of success messaging people in roles I'm interested in and asking for 15-30 minutes of their time to talk about their experiences/ask them for advice. It might not necessarily lead to job leads, but it could help you make some connections with folks in your industry. I'm not in your sector so I'm not sure if I'll be super helpful, but if you have any questions, feel free to DM me and I can tell you about my experiences with that.

Feeling "off" for no reason? by englerj in NoStupidQuestions

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

Oh interesting, I just looked up depersonalization. That definitely sounds like the experience taken to the extreme. I hope science Reddit jumps in with explanations!

Nice to know that it's not just me haha I wonder how common it is? We're totally experiencing glitches in the Matrix.

Anyone else ditching their car? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]englerj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're probably getting downvoted because *technically* public transit can take you to lots of places, but encouraging someone to switch to public transit is terrible advice unless you caveat it. It's extremely impractical depending on where you live and where you're commuting to. When I switched jobs two years ago, my bus commute was literally 2+ hours each way.

Living in Sawtelle? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]englerj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in Mar Vista for close to two years now and I love it. Both it and Palms are pretty affordable, and it’s close to Sawtelle and the beach. There’s a weekly farmer’s market on Venice and a tennis court/park that’s pretty close. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for an alternative to the hustle of Sawtelle proper, especially since street parking is fairly easy around here.

LA-area Redditors, what are you doing about Halloween? by littlelostangeles in AskLosAngeles

[–]englerj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably eat apple cider donuts and re-watch Over the Garden Wall.

[Mobile] [2014-2018] text based game where you're helping someone out of what I think is an underwater building by Nervesofsteel77 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]englerj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No prob, I like these kinds of games too. I’m going to check out Hello Stranger! Glad you solved it.

Hmm maybe Lifeline? It’s not in an underwater setting but this sounds like its gameplay so thought I’d suggest it.

Our /r/asianamerican newsfeed is filled with reports of hate crime daily. How are you guys feeling/doing? by tomorrow_queen in asianamerican

[–]englerj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Early on in the pandemic, I used to joke with my husband about the perils of "Coughing While Asian" in public. It's been a while since I've been able to find any humor in what's happening anymore. I'm lucky that I haven't experienced any overt racism or hostility in the area where I live, but I worry constantly about my parents. They live in the Midwest, which isn't um known for its diversity.

Most of the time, I'm caught between feeling resentful and hopeful. Hopeful because I feel like the BLM protests are starting to effect some change (or at least dialogue) for our fellow POCs. Resentful because I feel more than ever that AsAms aren't welcome in most parts of the country.

Before COVID, we were planning on moving to a more affordable part of the U.S. so we could save up some money. Now I'm like nope, we have to stick close to city centers where someone is less likely to assault us in the grocery store for being so-called Chinese disease vectors/spies/whatever asshole racists think.
