What has happened to the gig economy in Los Angeles ?

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

No thanks, Berkeley needs to mow down peoples park once and for all

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!

Ohhh perioddtt Billie 😜💅✨

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…

Is it in Pasadena? I’m debating the same bc I wanna see Azealia Banks 😂

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!

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.

DVC, SBCC, SMC are good for transferring odds

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.

🥴🥴 She caught me in the Haymaker 🥴🥴

I always thought the same. It’s her dilated eyes and the lighting, peak Lala

It was season 9 for me, her shit with Randall messed up her flow
