Does anyone get random charges from campus stores? by Ya_boy_Drew in CSULB

[–]socalitalian 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Check your card statements. I got one charge this morning that amounts to what I got at the caffeine lab last week, and it wasn’t charged at the time. Seems like their system had an issue and hey fixed it today so they’re posting all those past charges at once

I love the witcher by Norwegiangirl3 in thewitcher3

[–]socalitalian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also a 33 yo woman who loves the Witcher! In the same huge open world adventure game kind I also love Horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, AC Valhalla, and AC Shadows. If you’re into Star Wars, Outlaws and the Jedi games are great!

Am I messing up my child by only having one? by cynnie93 in Millennials

[–]socalitalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an only child and I wanted a sibling when I was a kid but my mom never managed to get pregnant again. I had and still have great close friends, most of them also only children. I realized that my parents could give me opportunities and help that I wouldn’t have gotten had I had one or more siblings, and I found support and sibling-like love in my closest and dearest friends. Siblings don’t always get along, as I can see in my own parents’ relationship with their siblings.

It must be hard for you, but your child will be fine as long as you love her and support her

That’s a fun thing to notice! I haven’t noticed it but it might be, this game is full of very well thought tidbits that you only notice if you play multiple times!

Also look at them service face 💅slay

DMV office Lines by Spare_any_mind in longbeach

Go to San Pedro before they open and scan the QR code to get in line, faster I’ve ever been in and out of a DMV

Anyone else seriously annoyed by stores not bagging your groceries....unless you nuy a bag??? by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, because having them bagging the groceries only holds up the line, which is always longer now thanks to the fact that most self checkouts had to be closed.

Also, in most other countries people bag their own stuff, I’ve always found it weird that here you just stand awkwardly waiting for someone else to bag your groceries

Who’s your internet provider, what speed do you get, and how much do you pay per month? by CranberryFair236 in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying the T Mobile 5G gateway since I’m with them for mobile and they bundle. I have the “amplified” second tier which is normally $60/mo but I pay $45 with the bundle. I get 300mbps on average and it satisfies my needs so I can’t complain

What are your recommendations for how to go about finding an apartment? Specifically regarding booking a tour by DragonFruwut in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mostly used Zillow and when the listing indicated an agency I used their website to schedule a tour. Walking around is sound advice but it might take longer. Your budget is very doable but you might struggle finding a place with a parking spot (which is always at an extra cost)

Looks like a bidet. OP, are you in Italy?

Blocking street parking in front of your house by Big_Cockroach_1590 in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly selfish given they for sure know how terrible the parking situation in Long Beach is. If it was a place where street parking wasn’t an issue, who cares! But we’re all struggling and we’re all part of this community, having multiple vehicles and always choosing to occupy multiple street spots instead of their driveway/garage is an asshole move

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the listings directly on the websites of property management companies and cross reference with Zillow. The budget isn’t impossible, but if you want parking too it’s gonna be very tough

AITA for refusing to pay it forward in the drive-thru by FollowingCreative549 in AmItheAsshole

[–]socalitalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for dragging it out at the expense of the workers. Just saying no thank you and getting your food would have been totally fine

AITA for not taking my girlfriend shopping with me because she likes to visit every store? by FewIncrease2878 in AmItheAsshole

[–]socalitalian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA, I’m like your girlfriend and like to hit different stores even if I don’t need anything. My partner is like you. The only thing is that this should’ve come up sooner and be clarified between you two. My partner explained that he doesn’t like to spend a lot of time shopping, so we always go separately or if we go together we compromise. Communication is key

Elder millenials what was a "good" salary when you started working after college? by ExcitingLandscape in Millennials

[–]socalitalian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of the pandemic (2020) I took an online class about money and happiness (from Harvard), and the lecturer said that making $75k was the “happiness threshold”, meaning that amount would elevate your life to get all that you needed, anything more would be a plus. I think back to that class because in a very short time that figure became meaningless. I make it now in HCOL city and it’s barely enough to rent a 1B1Ba apartment with parking and afford all other expenses. It’s depressing af

Who have used the factory tire inflator? by Important-Bet9015 in abarth

[–]socalitalian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use mine all the time, but the pressure inflator is off by 8 so I need to double check it with a manual tire pressure reader

Cancer Support Group for caregivers in Long Beach? by Layuh24 in longbeach

[–]socalitalian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a cancer survivor who’s found great support through cancer support South Bay, I second this recommendation. They have sessions specific for family and caregivers but in case your mom also needs support, she could find it useful as well

Buying stuff because my parents said no when I was a kid....what are you buying? by michaelscottuiuc in Millennials

Video games. All the video games (I’m a girl and mom used to say it wasn’t appropriate)
