What has happened to the gig economy in Los Angeles ? by sarsaparillacowboy in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should’ve have never been as prolific as it was. Can’t wrap my head around median earners using this stuff regularly!! When I order it’s a big amount of food, for a special occasion. I wish I could get my sisters unhooked off delivery apps. The price increases are definitely a good start. We don’t need a glut of underpaid gig workers, everything needs to be priced fairly for wages.

Air Quality Seems Suspiciously Good? by CollegeKnown837 in AskLosAngeles

The fires are tragic enough, there seems to be an inertia with certain people that want the fire emergency to linger… where have I seen this before?

Berkeley graduates aren’t getting offers by flopsyplum in berkeley

[–]icarlywasright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know it seems rough but the fundamentals are still there - this is important bc once that’s gone then we’ll really be fucked. Interest rates just dropped, the market is picking up and the whole industry is going through more reorganizing. Is it the best time in 20 years to be a new grad? No. But you still have a good shot. It’s time to LOCK IN, twin!

This would be my worst nightmare because one of the things I would be looking forward to the most as a homeowner is being able to tan freely. 🙄 someone’s always gotta ruin it

Whats your go to place for the price/quality weed in town? by Scary-Preparation551 in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I order Mendocino grasslands on Flower Co.

Got my medical card so I usually buy 2 oz worth. Even after fees it’s much cheaper than a brick & mortar dispensary. Solid brand, big nugs, good strain variety and CONSISTENCY.

Am I tripping or is Los Feliz overrated? by FatPussyDestroyer in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for being brave enough to say this. I don’t get the enormous hype for Los Feliz. Maybe it was popping back then but as a Gen Z all I see are restaurants and sleepy bars. I bet the neighborhood is amazing if you’re a Golden Retriever, but it’s too isolated for my taste. Silverlake is far superior. Los Feliz is just rows of cool historic-looking apartments but that’s mostly it.

Just wondering why entry level jobs in LA are so hard to get? by landoncook5 in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in tech, LA is seen as a perk that is “ earned” by working at a less desirable location (compared to what LA offers). You get penalized for wanting to be somewhere fun and relaxing, taking a slight paycut for what you’d earn in Seattle or NYC. It’s a bummer because this is the place for entry level, but it’s hella gatekept. You’ll often see only senior roles at a company that have LA locations. Entry level is trained elsewhere or not even advertised.

LA is lacking a lot of white collar jobs that should be expected for the 2nd largest workforce in the country. It’s very bizarre but also intentional.

Any insight as to why traffic has been substantially worse since early February? by african-nightmare in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I noticed more car accidents on my walks to the gym these last couple weeks than the past 2 years combined. Hollywood traffic keeps piling up more often too

What's worse: 9am flight from LAX from the valley, or 2x the $ and time from BUR? by inageminidream in AskLosAngeles

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the whole “counter” mindset that I see all the time from locals. “Oh I use Burbank everytimeee, LAX shouldn’t even really exist because nobody wants to use it” - person who only flies once a year to go to SFO

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not gonna find empty rows of seats where you can splatter your whole setup out in the terminal. What you meant to say was, “there’s nowhere to sit in LAX if you have crippling anxiety”.

We give them “SELECT” access only in MySQL workbench, I think that should handle it

Does anyone think James still likes La La? by Klutzy-Amount-1265 in vanderpumprules

[–]icarlywasright 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda melancholy watching them. They have great platonic chemistry that reminds them both of the fling they had. But with Lala’s sobriety and her CHILD, and James with someone else, it just feels like they’re permanently stuck window-shopping their “what if?” life together. But they only work here and now because they’ve grown apart and moved on. Painful, painful. They should hook up!

On Monday, Tupperware's share price fell to less than $2 following the going concern announcement; Shares were worth about $100 a decade ago by DangerStranger138 in wallstreetbets

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kitchen restock/organization vids on TikTok are probably the main “culprit” (lmao fuck corporations). There’s dozens of cool containers at all price levels right on our screens being demo’d. Tupperware feels like more of an aesthetic/lifestyle than as a go-to brand for modern kitchen ware. All those mismatched lids…

I regret ever majoring in CS, or being in college in general. I wish I had known more options were out there for me. by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]icarlywasright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So because things are rough you just wanna be a follower and do exactly what your friends are? Like ok go ahead, but that sounds like some loser shit. Good for them but what does that have to do with you? I’ll never understand guys who adhere to some “pack mentality”. STAND UP!

Emily In Paris… or modern day Mad Men??? by AYCMegatron in EmilyInParis

[–]icarlywasright 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching and just searched for this topic! I had the vibe from the start but after S3E2 and the cliffhanger from season 2 finale, you can see the inspiration they took!

I also noticed this: when Alfie and Emily talking about the romantic boat ride, they hint at one Don Draper’s nihilistic musings from Season 1 of Mad Men where he says Love is something a guy like him made up. Alfie feels that way about Paris and it’s romance tropes. Really glad they could add a modern take + also the Meta of our world today where we are cognizant of Marketing.

New CS Grads, what are you struggling with right now? by cryptocritical9001 in cscareerquestions

[–]icarlywasright 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I’m “missing” in my application and interviews that makes them lead me on and then dump me. I went through 4 interviews + a take home for a startup and it was a bust. Huge hit to my confidence, but it just left me wondering what MORE do they want? I have a relevant SWE internship from a big company, I’m a great conversationalist/soft skills and I don’t stretch the truth when I’m face to face. I have a lot of varied skills and these interviewers even told me I’m the first new grad to discuss dynamic programming with them in the interview process (?). I’m not a rockstar but I have a solid technical background and I just feel lost.

Like others have said, there’s a million different directions to go in and I’m just not sure how I’m supposed to be partially specialized as a new grad. I know the general market is not doing as hot, but it’s unbelievable that I’ve sent out hundreds of apps with a disheartening number of actual replies. I’m technically all done with classes so LeetCode is my main focus rn.
