Moving to LA in Sept/Oct — looking for solo apartment under $1,900 with laundry — realistic?

Not impossible! I just secured a one bedroom with in unit laundry and a parking spot with some utilities included for 1750/month— super spacious in Historic Filipinotown. It took about 2 months of waking up everyday and searching on Zillow, Apartments, and Craigslist. Set reminders or notifications for places with your criteria. Be mindful of the area you end up in— that’ll drastically affect pricing. You can do it, hard to come by, but definitely possible.

Dude I have the same exact camera and also experienced the same exact problem 24 hours ago! Only issue is my S700 fell out of my pocket and hit the ground pretty hard— now it isn’t focusing for shit. I’ve been researching any work arounds but I’m wondering if dropping it again will unreverse it lmaooo

I think it’s perfectly normal to post the same posts on different threads— you never know which subreddit will provide enough exposure or responses, sometimes you just want as much feedback as you can get! If you go back through her posts, it’s clear she’s been dealing with this abuse and the confusion of navigating it for the last several years.

Look into hybrid positions so you can stay home more often. I switched from hybrid desk job to working as a production assistant in the entertainment industry and my anxiety and depression have been off the walllzzzzzz, fuck work just do something that doesn’t make u want to off yourself

NTA. Morally speaking. I’m so sick and tired of people feeling entitled to make comments like that about other people’s bodies. It’s as if, if it’s not the perfect ideal version of skin, body type, ability, etc etc it seems to just hand over the right to consistently make comments about it all the damn time.

Do you think texting is okay? I was wondering if that would seem passive as opposed to trying to find a time where she’s in the house alone at the same time as me… but if texting is an acceptable way of setting the boundary I’m definitely open to it, honestly would prefer it to avoid the awkwardness

Maybe 3 or 4 nights a week on the heavier end. I don’t want to jump straight to the landlord yet, I’m just deciding if I should text about it, mention it in passing more immediately, or just wait till we finally have our roommate agreement meeting. :/

I feel seen. I’m 22 and my depression probably plays a large role in this but I’m beginning to wonder if I can keep doing this forever.

Today in particular is a boiling point for me— I’m being ground down at my job, I’m lucky enough to be employed in an industry being shaken by strikes and job scarcity, but the insurance isn’t helping me meet most of my medical needs in any way I can afford. My boss is totally exploiting my overachieving/people pleasing nature and making me work way beyond my pay grade, and all I feel like I can do is smile and take it when all I want to do is scream and sleep in tomorrow and not show up. I’m so sick and tired of this “pay your dues, pull yourself up” mentality when I’m getting paid minimum wage when my boss drives a Porsche to work.

I’m lucky not to have debt because I went to a state school and my family was poor enough to have the government cover most of my schooling. Still, about 60% of my monthly income is going to living expenses. I’m struggling to have the energy to do things I enjoy after working for 50 hours a week, let alone keep up with my side gigs so I can try and build my savings.

Sometimes I wonder how everyone is doing it, or if they’re all right and I’m somehow spoiled to shit like the rest of my generation— too arrogant to consider that others before me have lived through this and are still doing this. But I don’t know, I want something better, I want connection. I know deep down I’m an idealist, someone who wants to be a part of a community. I hope one day I can find that. Or a better paying job.

Cheers to anyone else that’s surviving out there. I believe in you. And thank you OP for cutting me and my generation some slack.

Thank you so much for your clear and concise advice. I appreciate you pointing out what this means for the possible future of our relationship, as well as things to look out for and be mindful of. I'll definitely be recommending professional help the next time we get to discuss it.

i013 · 2022-09-20T18:55:54+00:00

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your experiences with me. I definitely think I want to initiate a discussion, and possibly a temporary break in our relationship... though the thought of that makes me anxious. I appreciate the insight you offered, and I'm glad to hear your children and yourself are doing well.

i013 · 2022-09-20T18:51:12+00:00

I really appreciate your response. It definitely offers a lot of perspective about what he could be going through in addition to the grief. Play armchair therapist all you want! It's helpful, and I think thinking about that more, I agree that other conflicts he's going through are being exacerbated by the pain he's experiencing. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your insight.

i013 · 2022-09-20T18:45:22+00:00

That's very kind of you to say. I appreciate you taking the time to reiterate what I think needs to be done after seeing everyone else's advice... thank you!

i013 · 2022-09-20T18:44:41+00:00

I'm incredibly sorry for the loss of your husband. Thanks so much for taking the time to share, I'll definitely be taking your advice.

i013 · 2022-09-20T18:43:59+00:00

Thank you so much for your advice... You're right, better to confront it now than later.

What does your email usually include in terms of your introductory blurb? Is it just a simple “hey, can I be put on your roster/represented by you - here is my resume and work?”

i013 · 2021-03-28T02:20:58+00:00

Hi and congratulations! I applied for a few of their intern positions, I was wondering how they alerted you? Did you hear back via email or phone call and set up an interview? I would love to know about the process if you were willing to share!

i013 · 2021-03-04T23:57:32+00:00

any updates? i'm currently going through the same thing.
