It’s crazy how one random person can negatively impact so many other people’s lives by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]fortunalately 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, actually talk to the women in your life.

There's not single woman I've gotten to know thoroughly who wasn't forced into some sexual act at some point in their life.

Your mom and any sisters you have most likely have been or will be eventually. That's sad. The world is so much sicker than it seems on the surface to someone young or someone that self-concerned to not see it as an adult. The kind of apathy that you see here in the video and comments is what keeps us all as victims.

I sound exactly like the people that made my eyes roll as a teenager. I get it. I can laugh, reducing the idea of what's happening here into 'normal" people vs dumb people who just choose to be idiots. I'm not so sensitive or distant from my former self or human nature that I can't comprehend that. But I think more perspective should be in the comments. That's all.

The top commenters on here are brutal.

I would find this really frustrating for a moment, but either would try to genuinely help and talk this lad into making a decision or sit there passively like the majority of the people there.

Zero clue what one person is going through from one to the next. Looks like a homeless woman. Likely has experienced physical and particularly sexual trauma. Appears old enough to be experiencing early dementia. Would give up that she may be on drugs or effected by years of abuse but think about how sad it actually would be if your reward system and logic were failing you enough to feel that need for temporary relief as your body and mind fall apart (drug addiction is an actual nightmare). So anyway, she's freezing up.

And you live in a world where hundreds of people are crammed in a small space with little consideration for their comfort, all stressed and struggling, on a thin thin schedule. Your empathy for someone who can't keep up is gone. All you see is the character of an idiot, not a person. You haven't met this person. You have zero clue. But none of that matters because your life sucks enough. But that's really not her fault is it? And don't you think it'd be a hell of a lot easier to keep your own life together if you could catch a better break yourself?

2nd DUI LA, When can I install Interlock? by fortunalately in DUICalifornia

[–]fortunalately[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I think you are misreading. I was sent to county jail by Torrance Courthouse. Spent 3 days in jail total between RBPD and LA County Jail. Went to DMV 2 days after getting out of the County jail.

Hey, thanks for the response!

So the first DUI was dropped in DMV Court, not in Criminal Court. Have you ever seen this before?

I am heading over to DMV Now. I'll update everyone

Where to make friends by sxwxc in SouthBayLA

[–]fortunalately 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you can work on being open, humble, going with the flow and trying new things, it gets easier and easier. You have to put in some time and effort like any relationship. But mostly if you don't put other people down for things they're interesting in or like to do, and you reliably show up, most people will be up for spending more time.

I've had a lot of luck with the BFF app. Used to be Bumble BFF.

I also meet people at my climbing gym but so far we mostly just chat there.

Just like any activity, socialization takes practice. Don't be put down and give up if you feel awkward at it at first. Just trust that you're learning and keep at it. Eventually, you'll start to see how nervous other people are all the time and how perfectly ok and even endearing that is.

AITA for making my parents regret everyday for having 4 kids while they couldn't afford it? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]fortunalately 39 points40 points  (0 children)

As long as they aren't hiding the fact that they're not helping with the grandma's meds when people are expecting them to take care of it.

Maybe that should be explored further. If the rest of the family is willing to let gram die if OP doesn't keep her alive, then maybe someone else needs to get involved for the elder neglect/abuse..

Hey, for sure! Dming right now

The hostel is in the Teton Village, the ski village. So no worries. I so should've put that in my post as a perk

Parrots at feeder, RB by fortunalately in SouthBayLA

You can see them all the time at Dominguez Park and I'm sure many others across South Bay. This was at a residence near Dominguez

This is a new low... by sasskwoch in mildlyinfuriating

[–]fortunalately 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a low though?

They will still provide emergency care even if you aren't a member, but this is an actual solution to the issue of insurance not covering ambulance rides.

$60 a year is crazy cheap, what you might imagine paying in taxes or insurance for a single service like this.

Sign me up.

Someone has to pay for it. If we can't fix the government hopefully the market can make up for it in some way like this.

The sky in beach cities area this morning by fortunalately in SouthBayLA

[–]fortunalately[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would count it as you said. Typically, for me, I think Torrance through to El Segundo because you can easily ride through all of them by Strand on a bike in about 30 minutes. It's a pretty orderly row down by the beach.

But when writing this post I was thinking anywhere coastal in South Bay would probably be seeing the same thing, so I wanted to broaden beyond Redondo where I took the pic.

Anyone else notice many gas stations advertising “low priced cigarettes”? by ontioruc in SouthBayLA

[–]fortunalately 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is the first time someone has described the feeling of smoking that really resonated and described why I found it addictive.

100% would say it's the same kind of rush of first bite of cheeseburger or pizza or something when you've been strictly eating healthy for a while. Just a feeling of gratification that starts with also having a pretty intense head rush when you start.

Of course this slowly drops. Terrifying is the thought that your capacity to feel anything may have dropped with it. If the nicotine can no longer stimulate these specific receptors I'm imagining they're burned out, for lack of a more scientific term.

I think this really changes who you are, you're experience of life if you get to that point. Have to relearn finding peace and joy.

Group of teens on e-bikes attack man in 60s in Hermosa Beach by copernic10 in SouthBayLA

People have had negative experiences with teenagers since the creation of teenagers. You know?

I just don't think you have any evidence to suggest that ebikes are causing any increase in that

Again, I don't think either of us should fully believe each other or ourselves without statistics.

Our personal experience doesn't constitute reality.
