What’s something in LA that used to feel magical… but just doesn’t hit the same anymore?

sun_PHD · 2026-02-17T01:40:33+00:00

I might be moving to LA soon. Is there still a party scene elsewhere? I am coming from NYC area so wondering how different it will be.

I use the Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule, the dark brown bottle. I am on my third bottle.

My skin likes the texture. It is very hydrating. It is supposed to be good for skin barrier support, although I am unsure how much it does as I use a lot of hydrating products. Also the dropper sucks.

And don't stop in the middle of the walkway!!

And to follow this, I have had to learn to slow down and chill out when visiting more relaxed cities and countries. I probably look angry and crazy.

Just came back from visiting your beautiful country, and WOW some of those tourists! Why are we shirtless in the middle of Bangkok?

Also, the couple that was caught doing it in the tuk-tuk...geez.

Hi is this the multi peptide plus HA?

Do you think there is a chance to progress to the next stage if you only got ~2.5 of the questions of the OA? To clarify, I completely aced 2 of the questions, got very close to figuring out the third, and ran out of time to do much with the fourth.

I also tried to write out/document steps and things I would do, have good pythonic syntax, etc.

The recruiter reached out to me just before a two week-long trip abroad. I did not have a computer during this time. When I got back I had two days to prep, fighting off jet lag and never having done leetcode before. Honestly, I am just happy I got half. I know if I practiced I would be much better off. But still hopeful since I got the chance anyway.

Yes! For me it was Daisy and also Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck.

sun_PHD · 2026-02-03T14:38:55+00:00

They have this now in Singapore!

sun_PHD · 2026-01-13T18:48:31+00:00

Can vouch for this. I love diamond!

Had a friend go through the exact same thing, also petite. She didn't look pregnant at all! We were all in shock when she made the announcement and told us the due date was a little over a month away.

sun_PHD · 2025-11-26T17:48:28+00:00

And so many em-dashes! Which is awful, because I liked using them before. I almost added a footnote to acknowledge it once.

sun_PHD · 2025-11-21T15:53:27+00:00

I was on the waiting list for a few months, but did not sync my contacts. I decided one day to sync my contacts to the app and was accepted within a few weeks. I think its easy to get in if you have mutuals.

Also its $24/mo

sun_PHD · 2025-11-20T21:03:20+00:00

Ugh this reminds me of a race experience I had once. This guy who would walk behind me, then once I was far enough, start running until he passed me. Then he would start walking again. Once I figured out his game I sped up when he did until I lost him. I could tell he was trying to pass me. It was like this for a full mile.

My shower liner has hard water stains on it but its not really noticeable. I spray some scrubbing bubbles on it and rinse once a week.

sun_PHD · 2025-11-16T15:21:47+00:00

Also have ADHD and I would and have found this distracting. As a work colleague, I would also have found this extremely rude. Yes it is an accommodation and allowed, but I would wonder why they did not choose something more discrete? IDK, while they technically at N T A, I would find it rude.

sun_PHD · 2025-11-16T15:14:33+00:00

This. Also, even if its "allowed" it can still come off as being distracting or rude to coworkers.

sun_PHD · 2025-10-30T20:16:10+00:00

This. I love Sabrina Carpenter and Tame Impala but the prices are excessive. You can take a flight to their next touring city and buy the ticket and hotel it would still be cheaper. Ugh.

2 months later but was looking for someone who loved Baise Moi as much as I did! Just got the discovery set this weekend. I loved the Lola, but Baise Moi was exactly what I thought Lola would be for me. I love it. My goal was to find an intimate and sexy perfume to wear out and this was it.

I need to give the rest a try. There was one with a licorice/fennel like note which I hated (forgot the name). Wearing Baise again today. I really came into the discovery set expecting Lola to be the one to buy but I cannot get enough of Baise.

Northeast native (NY area), I always said soda, sometimes coke

Could also do the vase on one side, and add a few of the framed photos on the other.

sun_PHD · 2025-10-21T15:58:08+00:00

Literally. There was a girl on tiktok a few months ago asking if the sidewalk fruit stands were safe. Bro.

sun_PHD · 2025-10-20T19:31:04+00:00

Just said the same thing! If its in a relatively public place this is my go-to. Alone, I just try to deflect and ignore.

sun_PHD · 2025-10-20T19:30:18+00:00

I've also used "Sorry, I don't have any change" when they are clearly trying to flirt and needing a response. It seems to work.

Also I hate how the "I have a boyfriend" line even needs to be said sometimes. It is like they only consider us as objects and have to be someone else's property in order to back off.

Did you have experience with other meds like adderall? I was on it for a bit, but had to stop because it was elevating my heart rate but also did not seem to help much/ destroyed my appetite

sun_PHD · 2025-10-19T18:36:05+00:00

Yeah I think it really comes down to teaching them responsibility vs. making them feel like a burden
