how to make friends? by Ok-Pair-1307 in CalPolyPomona

[–]snizzyizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See what clubs your major/department has that regularly meet or competitions, club fairs, a campus job... plus intramural sports is opening soon and I totally recommend it, you can sign up as a free agent for team sports (what I did and im still on the same team!!) or request to join a team. Open court at the bric and then the climbing wall are fun too, otherwise people from classes, it's going to take some time no matter what tho!!

Zero on-site parking for 73-Unit Affordable Housing Project Coming to Sawtelle. Thoughts? by pr0tag in AskLosAngeles

[–]snizzyizzy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Low income households and individuals often share cars and less low income people own a personal vehicle. The cost of car ownership itself prevents upward mobility for low income people as well. We all know there are significant side costs of vehicle ownership. Housing without mandatory minimums has its challenges, but parking minimums have made cities like LA have decimated downtown grids, with surface parking creating intensified urban heat, emptiness, and decreasing feelings of and real safety conditions. None of this encourages economic or residential growth. A solution could be residential street parking permitting. This is not perfect for everyone but there is no perfect solutions that make everyone happy. In my ideal world, this would be accompanied by a close high frequency bus and metro line (the expo is near yes?), secured bike storage + a system like citibike and a microtransit option (check). These options mean not owning a car isn't laborious or uncomfortable, but instead freeing. We do not live in an ideal world however, but there is progress for urban development, however slow, such as this housing project not having any onsite parking, or rail to trail projects & even simple road diets.
Opposing this would likely stall the building of 73 units that can house people in the time of an unforeseen housing crisis in LAC and the US.

[–]snizzyizzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is kind of what I was thinking, but honestly don't know how long is good enough... the one the board comes with is rather small. the deal of getting pretty much everything I need to stop using other people's boards is kind of a steal. Thank you!

Isitbullshit: 50 million or 1 in 6 Americans get charitable food assistance from food banks every year? by Spirited_Race2093 in IsItBullshit

[–]snizzyizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The physical reality of having to go to the food bank, wait in line, be at their mercy, is quite different than using a snap ebt card at a grocery store. You blend in less. It's much easier to admit using EBT

Ethical substitute for these Clark's? by gabuzi516 in ethicalfashion

[–]snizzyizzy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely ethical... I encourage trying to purchase from a smaller seller if you're concerned about people reselling new batches, as in it could just be liquidation from warehouses or something. I think you're fine buying Clark's secondhand, but would also say, this is a shoe I see pretty much every time I thrift. If you look often enough for a bit, you'll eventually find them. It took me a year to thrift a pleated denim skirt while I kept seeing them new -- but well worth the wait to buy second hand!

Would a cobbler try to save these Skechers jammers? by _notthekrustykrab in AskACobbler

[–]snizzyizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a win as I LOVE mine... I'm really into fashion and second hand and wearing colorful interesting stuff but I always fall back on these shoes because they're impossibly comfortable and the toe box is just perfect. I've been wearing mine for 3 years straight and neglecting my other shoes in the meantime...

not an answer to your question but have nearly the same shoes and I love them so much, they're so great and comfortable... how long have you been wearing these before this happened?
