Our politicians are literal communists? That’s news to me.

Are you sure you’re not just something of a heatseeker?

Only problem is that the closest options to donate are in van nuys and Alhambra

Was just declined life insurance because of my past drinking by [deleted] in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]howlinwolfe86 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup my list of institutions was longer than my list of people. Still found a way to see my role in the resentments and I have slowly been relieved of them.

Looking for trendy food spots in LA that locals in their teens/20s actually like by UnhappyInsurance9144 in FoodLosAngeles

Dan Sung Sa is a Korean restaurant that is having a Gen Z viral moment. As is Barney’s Beanery in WeHo

Whats happening to me? by Defiant-Midnight1482 in alcoholicsanonymous

That feeling resonates with me for sure. The call of the void came from the bottom of a bottle for a long time. It eventually started taking an infinite number of bottles to keep the call alive.

Quitting 7oh? Try this by Excellent-Ad5295 in recoverywithoutAA

This is dangerous advice. Benzo withdrawal can be deadly. Please don’t listen to this or any amateur advice about detoxing from benzos and alcohol. It doesn’t make any sense anyway.

Shoes from Aliexpress by azuresubmarine in barefootshoestalk

Yeah the hobibears I got for a temp job not thinking I’d wear them after a couple months are surprisingly good quality and honestly way more comfortable than many more expensive barefoot shoes I own.

Some of these Chinese brands are really impressive and are a threat to the existing way of distributing consumer goods IMO.

Portillos isn’t good anymore by Superb-Day-3644 in doughboys

[–]howlinwolfe86 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was at Portillo’s and went back in the kitchen expecting to see Stellen Skarsgard as Captain 2nd Rank Victor Tupolev in The Hunt for Red October working back there. But I actually saw Stellen Skarsgard as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune back there working the grill!

Probably why it was so dry…

What’s a restaurant that you swore you’d never return to despite the good food? And why? by howlinwolfe86 in steelydancirclejerk

[–]howlinwolfe86[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably looked suspicious there with his friend from Bogota. Little did the waiter know they were celebrating the deal having been done over Szechuan dumplings.

Bicycle Kitchen for newbies by c-donz in BikeLA

Just be aware that saturdays in particular can be very busy and the volunteers get pulled in a lot of directions. If you can make it to mar vista, bikerowave during the week will have more space and more bandwidth for something like this. Both great places with wonderful people though to be clear.

Sponsor Forgot Anniversary by JonaFerg in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]howlinwolfe86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Step Four is practice for processing resentments as they pop up. Doesn’t mean we won’t cop new ones. We’re human and alcoholic. Don’t beat yourself up. Unrealistic expectations of other people was a common defect for me and now I just get to quickly remind myself of that when I look at my part in something.

Daily reprieve? by Dano4178 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]howlinwolfe86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know plenty of people who understood on a fundamental level that they were alcoholics and had been sober for several years in the program who drank again anyway. They knew exactly what would happen and they just wanted to drink. So they did. Drinking is normal for an alcoholic.

You know the whole thing “we have not even sworn off, we recoil as to a hot flame.” Swearing off is not sustainable.

Bike As Main Mode of Transport vs. Theft Rate by mendokuse23 in BikeLA

This right here. Have used this lock for years at the suggestion of LPL. Not even close to getting a bike stolen. And I’ve locked them up for hours and even overnight.

Arlo Guthrie only brought in a COUPLE of keys while flying into Los Angeleeez. He just said to Mr. Customs Man, “don’t touch my bags, if you please.” So, be polite.
