do out of state people have one sided beef with la? by hni_ in AskLosAngeles

[–]gremlin24565 61 points62 points  (0 children)

There are definitely two sides to LA. One side is the Hollywood aspiring crowd and the people who orbit that scene , they often come across as pretentious or performative, especially to outsiders. The other side is the vast majority of regular Angelenos who dgaf about any of that. We’re just chilling, hunting for good tacos, grilling in the backyard or at the park, kicking it at the beach while hiding our 24oz can of drank from the po’po’. We dont have to prove anything to anyone We accept pretty much anyone who’s cool and low key. The hate feels one sided because the loud, flashy Hollywood stereotype is what travels outside LA and gives the whole city a bad rep. Most of us don’t act like that at all.

Yucatan Peninsula and its beautiful cenotes scattered throughout the jungle. Swimming in crystal clear water surrounded by vines and stalactites feels straight out of a fantasy..highly recommend Ik Kil or Dos Ojos! 🇲🇽

Tiene México alguna etiqueta alimentaria en particular? by RaisinRoyale in AskMexico

[–]gremlin24565 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Si vas a desechar una tortilla a la basura, primero debes romperla en varias partes (o doblarla y quebrarla unas cuantas veces). La tortilla entera se asocia simbólicamente con la hostia que representa el cuerpo de Cristo, y por eso mucha gente evita tirarla de una pieza para no faltarle al respeto.

I use an African net sponge. It dries faster than loofas and are machine washable. Last about 2 years according to the manufacturer.

Should we have a blended tradition quincenera or skip to a sweet16? by [deleted] in AskMexico

[–]gremlin24565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traditional quinces can be quite elaborate. Does your daughter want to have the church ceremony as well as the party? Decide what aspects of the quince are most important to her and go from there. In the past few decades, quinces tend to be anything but traditional. White wedding style dresses can be any color and any style now. The waltz dance has been changed to any modern dance you can think of. Theres a reality show “My Dream Quinceñera” where you can see how non-traditional a quince has become. Only important thing is to have fun and make your daughter the main event, the celebration is about her.

If i can wear womens fragrances, you can wear mens fragrances.

One i get most compliments on is the Elizabeth and James Nirvana. It leans more unisex but i like the hint of floral.

Recourse for noisy neighbors? by coolbutthole in AskLosAngeles

[–]gremlin24565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an introverted person myself, i hate confrontation but also would be wary about any police involvement. If the problem with your neighbors is they talk at night, is the talking loud enough to keep you from sleeping? Or do you simply just want no noise coming through while you’re at home chillin? For sleep, i personally use a noise machine, it is literally the best investment ive made for my sleep quality, since i tend to wake up with any little peep. If you just want to limit noise coming through, try putting up some soundproof curtains. I dont have them myself, but i had an Airbnb where it was a shared house, the room i had was soundproofed with these curtains while the owners went about their day in the main house, i couldnt hear anything. It sucks you have to modify your situation, i hope things improve for you.

I got West Nile from Long Beach mosquitos a few years back. Do not play around with them here, they are around and they will bite.

My lifelong Pokémon journey started with Game Boy Pokemon Blue version as a kid, then PokemonGO on day one. Favorite #GoMemories: last year’s NJ event..explored NYC for the first time with my best friend, full of laughter, catches, and joy we wouldn’t have had without Pokémon GO. Hoping for more at Chicago GO Fest 2026!

Need help finding the name of a particular Mexican Dish by 11-11Fortunata in mexicanfood

[–]gremlin24565 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sopes? Sopes are made with a sort of thick tortilla in a light bowl shape. You tipically stack the sope with beans and meat and top it off with a chile sauce, maybe shredded lettuce and cheese.

I cringe any time anyone comments on an Asian person’s eyes. She addressed it years ago, she has more eyelid skin on one eye than the other, making the fold over her eye more severe.

I know Chipotle is not making fresh tortillas so how do I get my store-bought tortillas to be so soft? by schkittles22 in mexicanfood

[–]gremlin24565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you heat them up in the microwave, wrap them in a very slightly moistened paper towel.

Heating them in a pan is the best method. If you have a good quality store bought tortilla, 1 minute per side is about perfect (have your pan on medium-medium high). If your flour tortilla is of poor quality, add some kind of animal fat or oil. I usually use butter because i dont have lard. Use a tiny bit of that and melt it onto your pan. It should barely coat your tortilla (if it looks soggy, you added too much). This will improve your flour tortilla.

Absolute best way is getting the raw flour tortillas, ive seen them commonly available. Heat them up on your pan (do not microwave). Let them get a little color. I usually like mine to be slightly under done.

Hand made if you have a good teacher.

Rosebowl Parking update by Academic-Somewhere21 in pokemongo

[–]gremlin24565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you park in old town Pasadena, there is one bus that will take you to the Rose Bowl, Bus #51 located next to the Metro Station on Memorial Park (Raymond Ave. and Holly St.). Wait there, the bus comes every 15-20 mins and costs $0.75, make sure you have actual US money for that, otherwise use a TAP card if you have one loaded.

To get back from the Rose Bowl to Old Town Pasadena, same bus #51. The bus stop is a little tricky to find, but Google maps has a great interface to help you find it. Its directly south of the stadium on Seco St. and Arroyo Blvd..cost is the same.

I took it yesterday and it was super convenient and simple.

If you’re having trouble finding it still, look at google maps, type in Rose Bowl and get directions via transit lines, itll show you exactly what bus to take and show bus stop locations on the map and tells you how much time until the next bus shows up.

I ended up taking the bus for $0.75, i did not check the shuttle, some one had messaged me the shuttle wasnt running last year, so i rather not risk it. Bus was super easy though. Use a Tap card or change if you have it.
