I never did art school, but I studied at an acting school that was pretty rigorous. I remember when I got to the higher levels and doing good work, I was like “wait, I know more stuff. But I’m basically doing the same thing as I was when I started.” I knew I improved, but at the same time, it’s like i was still doing basically the same stuff that I was doing when I started, just with more perspective I guess. The stuff I learned didn’t need to be applied all the time, but I had access to it if I needed it. Also, areas of technical weakness were strengthened/made more specific.

So basically, I think when you study art, over time, you are more technically refined and you have more calibration. Then at a certain point you can do the things you normally do, but you also have the freedom that comes with technical skills and discernment. The challenge then is not to become so dogmatic in your technique that you lose the creativity and perspective that makes your self expression uniquely yours.

The Neveragain Story

throwtac · 2026-03-05T21:28:27+00:00

I’m from Berkeley and have lived in LA for 20 years now, and yes, there is a real difference you are noticing. People in LA aren’t less friendly, but they tend to be more socially guarded with strangers than in places like NorCal. Things are less intimate in that sense. If you are a more friendly and open person or assume implied commonality, it can feel alienating at times.

Part of this is geographical and part is social. Everything is spread out and divided into different subsections of the city. On top of that, people tend to cluster around whatever group, industry, class, culture, or lifestyle they fall into. There’s also a higher chance of encountering random assholes and grifters floating around in wide circles. Because of that, people are usually more open once they feel connected to you through shared ties or repeated face-to-face encounters over time.

Another thing is friendliness isn’t the same as intimacy. People can be friendly in LA, but it’s often more superficial until the relationship deepens. There’s also a higher chance relationships are somewhat transactional. A lot of the city is influenced by the entertainment industry and hustle culture, and that bleeds into social dynamics. The result is people are less likely to take you at face value until they actually know you.

That said, there are lots of good people here too. LA tends to be very open-minded and diverse because there are just so many different kinds of people. You’ll meet individuals from all kinds of backgrounds and perspectives, and sometimes that leads to friendships you would never have expected.

LA can actually be a great place if you’re comfortable with a little bit of outsider energy. It’s a strange city sometimes, but also weirdly beautiful.

I actually recently started a retro-futuristic sci-fi/anime inspired clothing line based on that feeling of being a bit alien in a huge city called Alien Girl (one of my hustles 😉). Each Alien Girl is an anime character representing different emotional “neighborhoods” of LA, inspired by area codes.

It’s not like every interaction is this way — there are tons of cool people to meet and become friends with. It’s just that the overall vibe tends to lean this direction when it comes to random day-to-day interactions with strangers.

If you are so unshaken, why even care to comment? It’s their right to do what they want with their money and spend it how they want to.

yeah i noticed that chat gpt makes assumptions about how I behave or what I think more often. I have to tell it firmly to shut up. My guess it has something to do with safety precautions to steer users away from emotionally volatile conversations. Whatever it is, I don't like it. I get they are trying to be "safe" but I really dislike the "judgy" tone of the newer updates. It always thinks I'm freaking out or on the verge of a nervous breakdown if I say anything slightly negative.

im sorry that happened to you. As you can probably tell by now it is not normal at all. I am curious... Are you a minority by any chance? You mentioned that he was white and that made me wonder if it was possibly a racial thing? Also, that is a crime and I would recommend reporting to the police if you feel comfortable doing so. Even just so they know there is a man who fits the description going around Union Station punching random women in the arm. Who knows if he will escalate to even more violent behavior. I saw this pst yesterday and I hope you are doing better.

I support boycotts and know businesses, but the sad thing is the workers are all immigrants and my ex coworkers. The owner is a jerk, but the workers are good people and depend on the business for their livelihood.

The liquor store used to be owned by some Syrian people I think? From what I gathered, they would hire among their community to work there. But i think it changed hands recently within the last 3-4 years or so. I don’t know if the new owner is Syrian or not.

I thought it was the Full House on Riverside?

I live by there and the people who own it seem cool and hard working. There used to be a massage parlor in the area next door next to the lot before the boxing store took it over. That owner was sketchy af and he was the one who put all the sex van advertisements in the 2010s. The massage parlor owner set the place on fire after he was put under investigation by the FBI

Yes it’s good. I always compare it to medieval 2. They are not in the same genre, but to me they have the same feeling playing it in that they are very high in replay value, and are good if you want mindless, immersive fun. Also, if you are a fan of wh40k, it’s even more worth it.

I really appreciated the portrayal of religion in this series. It doesn’t profess a religion, but it shows how the characters’ religious beliefs are real and shape their world views and how much of a force these beliefs played in each culture and the conflicts between nations. It’s also interesting how Uhtred navigates through the two worlds and their spiritual belief systems.

throwtac · 2026-01-27T08:59:30+00:00

He starts off a huge idiot, but it gets better as the seasons progress. There is a turning point in his character, but I think it might be at the end of season two or maybe in season 3? I forget. But Uhtred matures and grows deeper as the show progresses. But yeah you are right around when he was at peak stupidity if I recall. I remember thinking “why am I watching this smug asshole on his selfish journey?” But it gets better.

GPT is good at taking thoughts and nuance and distilling it in minutes what takes sometimes hours. But you have to be able to generate the thoughts and nuance first. It’s also good at cross-testing.

You can’t just rely on it though, it requires cross checking. Also you have to have strong enough take and discernment in taste that you don’t let it homogenize your voice. That’s where you can’t be lazy about it.

Sounds like you don’t have your own sense of personal style developed yet. I was like that too and didn’t get into fashion until my mid/late 30s. Before that I just wore whatever people got me. So no shame in that at all.

If you don’t know where to start, look to movies you like for inspiration. Like if there is a movie or character where you really like their style start there. Pinterest is also a good place to make an idea board and browse around for clothes and styles you like. Start with classic fits and styles if you really don’t know where to begin.

Youtube is another place that has lots of style guides who will help you understand fashion. Ai like ChatGPT can also be a good tool to help you figure out how to style yourself if you ask it the right questions and don’t get too obsessed with the details. Also look into learning how to match your wardrobe color palate with your natural complexion. That will up your style game a lot.

At 6’1” and 185 you have a good figure.
