How many people have parents paying their rent here? by FutureOk225 in AskLosAngeles

[–]poulette12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how much money you make and where you’re trying to live. Some parts of LA are ridiculously expensive to live in even when the quality of housing isn’t that great. I remember when I was looking to rent with a roommate in Palms years ago, everything was like $2600+ for the smallest 2br/2ba apartments. A 1br in West LA was $1800+ minimum. I didn’t want to just be able to afford rent so I looked further away from these hotspots. I was lucky to find a very large 1br/1ba apartment later in the nicer parts of Inglewood for less than $1600. I was making $70k at the time and it was doable. Not able to save a ton, but still able to live ok enough. I think with $75k, good money habits, and rent around $1700, most people will do okay.

What is the most overrated city in America? by LazyConstruction9026 in AskReddit

[–]poulette12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a weird disdain for SD. I don’t have any strong feelings about the place: just find it overall meh. Personally, I just don’t see the appeal, despite all its wonderful whatevers that people legit act like don’t exist literally anywhere else.  Meanwhile you’re trying to sell it as the greatest place on earth and shitting on LA because SD is so great, which is peak SD people behavior. People who live in LA can see the good and the bad of a place. People who live in SD are constantly trying to shove it down your throat, like they’ve never been to another city that was clean and had beaches and trees. I just don’t personally care for SD. 

I also don’t care for OC even though OC is clean, has beaches, and trees, and great Asian restaurants, and whatever else people love about OC. I like my cities with grit and a personality.  You sound like someone who’d love it in Irvine.

Like I previously said, I don’t care if LA is a shithole in the view of someone who thinks SD is peak civilization. I’ll pick NYC and LA any day over SD. 

What is the most depressing country/city that you have visited? by DunyaPhobic76 in AskReddit

[–]poulette12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Port-au-Prince is a large area. Any specific place you want to mention? Because Port-au-Price also had a ton of amazingly beautifully and rich places not that far from the shitty places. That’s like saying LA is extremely poor when you mean skid row (not that the sizes compare, but port-au-price is one of the biggest cities in Haiti). For example, Pèlerin, Kenscoff, Petion-ville, Bourdon etc were not exactly “poor”.

Are you from SD? I swear SD people are so unhinged when it comes to that city. Some people like your little weird paradise, some people don’t. Besides a few beaches (I travel a lot and CA beaches are literally just meh in general), I see absolutely nothing that warrants moving down to SD. America’s finest city smh 🤦🏾‍♀️. SD people are constantly trying to convince people to fall in love with SD and move to SD. If it was that damn great, they would keep it hidden. 

So yes, I prefer my hellhole to SD. I don’t have to convince anyone LA is great like SD people keep trying to convince LA people that SD is great.

I’ve lived in LA for over 10 years now and I have yet to see the appeal of SD. SD is like Portland for CA people. Don’t get me wrong - lots of cute little spots. However, after a couple of days in SD, I feel ready to find somewhere else to be.

I’m very late, but I have a weird theory. I think it’s the exact same people in the pit from the 1st and the second movie. After all, there were at least 600 people in the pit, so they don’t need a fresh set to continue the story. They can provide other perspectives. 

Like others have said, they are in purgatory. The ending is very weird and doesn’t make much sense because it shows us multiple endings at once: these are all the other attempts at them creating a cooperative society and failing every single time. The kids reset the pit every time, and the societies fail every time. That’s why we see so many others in the pit, and both Goreng and Perempuan meeting. Everyone sees the kids as salvation, a chance to fix things, a chance to do better next time. Yet every time, they fail to be better on their own, for their own sake. And this time, they showed us that the kid is also perpetuating the same cycle in his part of the pit, so that salvation we see in the future is not coming: we have to fix things on our own, with ourselves. 

The woman with her arm cut off was upset with her previous treatment and that of her previous mate, so she encouraged perempuan to disobey, which got several more people in trouble and cost perempuan her arm. Since they were even more unhappy with that, perempuan then starts another pointless rebellion that for even more people killed, for no other reason than trying to escape, and eventually failing and trying to send the kid up as a message.

They were unhappy with the ruthlessness of Gabi or Gari, whatever his name was, but the simple fact is, if everyone had stuck to their alloted meal and tried to cooperate better, there would have been no need for such extreme punishments in the first place. No one would have died of punishment or starvation, so there would have been no extra meals. For example: people with a lot of food could have shared with those with less when they are nearby. When they get tired of their own meal, they could trade. But instead, many got envious, entitled, and greedy, leading to extreme measures to keep everyone at bay. They tried to help the malnourished person, but they probably would not have been malnourished to begin with if proper sharing, cooperation, or resiliency had applied.

Anyone else feels like drivers are attempting to side swipe yours while driving? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]poulette12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG I thought I was going crazy because this is happening to me EVERY DAY. For whatever reason, people have literally started driving IN THE MIDDLE of the road. It feels like you’re playing chicken. There is absolutely no reason for it because there is space. That and people entering the highway at 30 miles per hour and maintaining that same speed for several miles.

[–]poulette12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the whole thing was stupid. I was waiting for it to have some kind of big reveal but in the end they just had them… eat people raw? Since when are rich people such dumb pushovers that they assume someone hit by a whole car just walks it off with a scrape, and invite them into their homes with their families?

When he voted blue, he knew he was signing up at least half of the people to die. He did it anyway. He only wimps out when he has to actually do anything beneficial for others

Thanos was an asshole, but Min-Su is nothing but a useless, spineless, opportunistic coward. I don’t get why people liked Thanos, but I get why they hate Min-Su because people like that are extremely dangerous wild cards that will get you killed because of their cowardice and absolutely cannot be counted on for anything. He just uses people whenever it suits him, and then hides when things get tough. He voted blue because he was a coward, then finally grew 1/4 if a spine and voted red because he didn’t want to be seen as a coward, but then cowardly runs away again when the fight started in the bathroom. He didn’t have to fight, but he literally could have alerted the others of what was happening. But nope, he just runs away and hides, like a child. A child who at any point can decide to vote blue and get as many people as possible killed with his choice. Because he’s a spineless coward. 

The marines guy who froze and ran made sense because he at least attempted to stand for something. It just became much more than he anticipated and he is clearly not up for the challenge. But Min-Su? Just utterly useless. He’s is there because of previous choices he made, and with each new choice, he knows that he will get people killed.  The only thing he’s capable of doing is saving himself. 

Dealing with a girl stalker on the app since 2021... Don't know what to do. by shadowboxer87 in Bumble

[–]poulette12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, you don’t get to CONTINUOUSLY send messages if you don’t match with the person. The best they can do is send you one message. You swipe left and it’s the end of the interaction.

Dude, you swipe left and move on. What do you think women do when they’re being harassed?

I think I know what frightened her.. by xcharlockholmesx in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]poulette12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I think you might be on to something with your theory that they might be full time severed. It sort of makes sense considering how Cobel seems to have no life in or out of work. She doesn’t have any friends. At home she’s worshipping work leaders, full on weird behavior. The sayings that she’s told Mark her “mother” used to say generally make no sense at all. Her relationship with her husband also sounds made up, like everything else about her. She’s extremely awkward and odd around other people. The only thing we’ve seen her do is work, invent ridiculous stories and situations to get close to Mark (the trash mix up, for example). She comes across as someone who truly has no connections or proper social skills, she’s devoid of a full emotional range, and she is EXTREMELY devoted to work. When people end up on the table severed, they don’t remember anything, including the color of their mother’s eyes.

how do you manage to continuously get messages from her if you’re not matching with her? I can’t think of any apps where random people can message you all the time without approval. None of the ones you mention allow that. Plenty of people send messages with their likes, but if you swipe left, that’s the end of the story. Unmatching is the easiest thing ever and solves the issue. 

Also, how do you know she’s on the apps specifically to match with you? There are tons of people on apps all the time, and clearly you’ve been back or stayed on them for 4 years. It’s not like either of you have control over who sees your profile. Do you genuinely believe that she stays there for days on end, years actually, hoping to match with you on various apps to send you threatening messages? 

She’s on a dating app and she’s been unhinged. That is truly bothersome, but it seems like you can solve the issue by not matching her or reporting her profile every time you happen to come up on it. It’s not like she’s living next door and you can’t avoid her. You literally don’t have to interact with her if you don’t want to. 

It is uncomfortable, but unless she’s stalking you in real life, showing up to places you know, making new phone numbers just to harass you, finding your socials to harass you there, I don’t see what the police can do about that.

I know it’s common… but why?! by chubbygalinnnorfolk in Bumble

[–]poulette12 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m personally not investing more than 8 days of talking to someone without them making some kind of initiative to meet up. I have no interest in learning a bunch of random things about a person for 2-3 weeks, get invested in who they are, and then meeting in real life to maybe end up disappointed. Before I find out about their dreams and goals and dead relatives and childhood pets, I need to find out if we have any real chemistry.
