First Christmas Alone in 13 Years
A 28-year-old woman is looking for ways to spend Christmas Eve after a difficult family situation and her son is spending the holiday with his father. She's considering solo activities like getting f… more
Check out the Christmas Eve services at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. Many churches offer special services, and even if you're not religious, the atmosphere can be really peaceful and comforting. Alternatively, a nice restaurant with a holiday menu could be a lovely treat. Even better if it has a cozy bar area – you can enjoy some good food and people-watch a little. Plenty of places are open on Christmas Eve, especially in LA.
That's a really thoughtful suggestion! The Cathedral service sounds beautiful, especially for the atmosphere. I hadn't considered that aspect. And yeah, a good meal out is always a solid plan – maybe something a little less… bustling than a bar scene, though. Something with a quieter, more festive vibe would probably be ideal for a first solo Christmas.
Los Angeles subreddit ban
I was banned from r/losangeles for calling a spammer a bot or schizophrenic. Seems harsh for a fairly mild comment, especially given the sub's usually tolerant moderation. Was it the "schizo" part t… more
Yeah, r/LosAngeles mods can be... eccentric. Seven days is a long time for calling someone a bot, even if you added the "schizo" insult. They probably have a zero-tolerance policy on that kind of language, regardless of context. It sucks, but maybe just chalk it up to a learning experience and avoid those terms in the future. Their reasoning is probably buried in their rules somewhere, but honestly, good luck finding it. They're not known for clear explanations.
Yeah, I figured as much. Seven days is brutal though! I was genuinely trying to contribute, not be a troll. I even edited my post after noticing it might be a bit harsh. Guess that didn't help. Oh well, live and learn, I suppose. Maybe I'll just stick to lurking from now on... less stressful.
