    According to stoner lore, there was once a police precinct that used code 420 for marijuana related arrests. There's no evidence for it, but now 420 is a part of stoner culture. Sometimes they think it's clever, like smoking at 4:20 or celebrating April 20th, but it's not clever.

    Bored Panda got in touch with Los Angeles-based entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert Mike Sington to get his thoughts on facing setbacks in show business, and how to get along better with the LA locals. He argues that setbacks are a natural part of any creative journey and that it's important to stay resilient and passionate when you don't succeed in reaching your goals as quickly as you hoped that you would.

    "Remember that success takes time. Many famous individuals faced failures before achieving their goals," he said. In the meantime, aspiring entertainment industry professionals can use this downtime from their upcoming fame to hone their craft, improve their skills, and gain new knowledge. What's more, they can also focus on networking and building connections in the industry.

    According to Mike, these connections "can open doors and provide valuable advice." What also helps is keeping a positive outlook and thinking about all the progress that you've made so far. Having your friends, family, community members, as well as mentors support you can be invaluable here.

    I remember in college there was this girl and she told me someone got murdered in her locality. We were thinking how horrible it was that someone got murdered( murderer was a person known to the victim) and that girl said she can't believe people got murdered in reality. She had seen news about murders but got hit by reality when someone got murdered in her neighbourhood.

    Twice as dumb given 'murder hornets' are not a murder species either, just a dramatic name used by media to garner more clicks. Rhinos and hippos are pretty testy when you F with them too but we don't go around calling them 'murder rhinos' / 'murder hippos'.

    And just for the record: murder is described as one human taking/ending the life of another. Therefore animals (or insects) cannot be "murderers". A bear does not "murder" a hiker in the woods, he kills it.

    Of course, if you find yourself in a rut, you can try to diversify your approach and try to adapt to the circumstances as best as you can. "Explore different avenues within the industry," the entertainment expert said. "Be open to adjusting your approach and strategies as you learn from your experiences." 

    Meanwhile, Bored Panda wanted to get Hollywood's Ultimate Insider's thoughts on how to get along with the locals in LA better. Mike was kind enough to shed some light on this. "Angelenos are generally welcoming to newcomers," he told us that smiling, being open and friendly, and initiating conversations is the way to go. LA locals are also very diverse, so it's important to respect different backgrounds and perspectives.

    What also helps is if you show genuine interest in the local culture, from learning about the city's history to delving deep into finding out more about its landmarks and events. Next, you should visit the local hotspots and community events where the other Angelenos are gathering. These are the perfect places to connect with them. Though if you're particularly friendly, you can strike up a conversation practically anywhere—even among the hustle and bustle of public transportation.

    Above all, Mike urged everyone to avoid stereotypes. "LA is more than just Hollywood. Recognize its multifaceted aspects and engage accordingly," he told Bored Panda. "Genuine curiosity and respect go a long way in building positive connections with locals in any community."

    The founder of 'Overheard LA,' Margolis, previously told the New York Times how the idea to create the account popped into his head in the first place. “I was sitting around this health food store in West Hollywood, and these two women were having this long, rambling conversation that led from egg freezing to pit bulls. I wrote it down and posted it. Instead of the usual 12 likes, it got 30, and a screenwriter friend of mine said, ‘You have to do a page!’ A couple of weeks later, Ireland Baldwin, who is Alec Baldwin’s daughter, found it and reposted it. It just took on a life of its own,” he shared how the project was an instant hit.

    “A lot of the trends start here—hot Pilates, aura photography—and a lot of culture gets exported from here. Or anti-culture. People all over the world see the Kardashians in Calabasas, ‘The Price Is Right’ from the CBS studios on Beverly Boulevard. At the end of the day, they care about Los Angeles because it represents an ideal reality. It’s where the myths have been made for the last hundred years,” Margolis shared his thoughts with the NYT on why so many people around the globe follow the page.

    According to him, the material posted about LA “tends to be from another planet: fantasy stuff about your ‘social media brand,’ or about longevity fads or your dog’s zodiac sign. One quote we recently posted was an effusive dog owner telling her friend, “I was reading my dog his horoscope the other day and I was like ‘Oh, my God, Bronson, this is so you.’”

    “I wasn’t part of the Instagram culture, and I didn’t even really know what an influencer was. But I knew this was a cool thing, a reflection of me making fun of the city I love,” Margolis told the Los Angeles Times about the roots of his project.

    Though the entire project is very popular, he himself likes to stay off the radar. “I think assigning an ego and a personality to the brand just diminishes it. It’s just a much bigger idea if it’s not about a person,” he explained.

A number of adult toys like ATVs, a fancy go cart with a role cage, couple of motorcycles and so on. His job is decent but not amazing and she had some low skill jobs but is now a stay at home mom. Possibly they are just up to their eyeballs in debt. We are not close enough for me to ask / really know.

    As we’ve covered on Bored Panda recently, most of us can’t help but overhear other people’s conversations. It’s how we’re wired! "Research in social neuroscience reveals that our brains have something akin to an 'autopilot' setting, referred to as the 'default mode network.' This part of our brain becomes active when we're resting or not focused on another task. Intriguingly, it plays a significant role in processing social information, suggesting we are naturally inclined towards contemplating social situations and interactions," social psychologist Alison Jane Martingano, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay told us during a previous interview.

Celina jokingly asks Aaron what his sign is. Aaron answers Scorpio. Celina just shakes her head, "uh, no" without hesitation. Tim looks at Aaron questioningly and Aaron's response and expression were, "yeah, that's just how it is".

    "This includes what others are doing or saying. If we find ourselves on an airplane with little else to do, it is likely that our thoughts will default to people, people we know, or those around us. Additionally, you might find a research study of interest which indicates that, from infancy, human brains are highly attuned to human voices, demonstrating our inherent curiosity in others' conversations,” the social psychologist said.

    honestly...... so hear me out. if you have the money to do it, if you really wanted to unplug and be able to just enjoy your vacation, but you also wanted pictures on your vacation, hiring a photographer to be in the background and just be your own personal paparazzi is honestly brilliant. You get to chill and not be all touristy about life, but you still get professional photos afterwards of all the candid moments. And the moments you get captured are probably better than everyone posing and smiling anyway. If I had that kind of money, I would totally do that.

    You've never been there. No one gets more offended than a conservative Midwesterner, southerner, baptist, fundamentalist, or talk radio fanatic. Y'all brought down an entire beer legacy because you felt icky about one person they gave attention. You've banned books and entire schools of thought for not following your moral values. Grow a pair and question authority for phouc's sake.

    This is an unpopular opinion, but not all influencers are bad. Some people make niche content that's genuinely interesting that they're passionate about. It's just the problematic egotistical psychos that ruin it for everyone. I don't understand how once someone gets a big following, they find the need to feel better than everyone else.

    Hellish traffic getting to LAX, the 405 freeway is a nightmare during commuting hours. Once you get off the freeway, it's going to be 15 - 100 minutes to get to your terminal depending on construction, traffic, and the whims of the universe. True friends fly in to Burbank.

    The difficulty with overheard conversations is lack of context. Is this their first date or 100th? Did he ask her to wax or did she assume he wanted it? I dated someone who voiced an expectation that I should have no hair down there. I voiced my expectation that he should pay for it if he wanted it like that.

    According to an unlisted source off of Google, Shake Shack's burgers are made with all of the cows marbled muscle meat, unlike other brands. This allows all grease to basically evaporate as soon as the party hits the grill. So, this guys on luck: He may have no grease on his burger.

    LA isn't actually a desert.

    Yep! Los Angeles is a Mediterranean-type climate. And, hilariously, the specific area of SoCal where I live (about 30 min from LA) was actually a swamp way back in the day. You’d never know it now - it was drained and worked and farmed and eventually formed into a beach town - but yep, once a swamp XD Now, to be fair, to hit true desert you only have to drive about an hour or two out of LA, but it’s definitely not a desert itself, you are correct :)

    Sagittarius - I'm always matching the descriptions of my sign (and I LOVE how we're depicted as arrow shooting centaurs!) There tends to be 2 types of us - the extroverts and the introverts - but aside from that, we all tend to be very passionate about what we like and who we love, idealistic but pragmatic, optimistic but not unrealistic, driven and tenacious, loyal but prone to fits of fancy if we get bored or don't feel like we're given enough attention, spontaneous, brave, risk taking, and dynamos in the sack 😉

    Hey, hey, our mental and physical well-being are as important as financial one.

    Not true, we have a fire season and, some years, a rainy season.

    So LA is like cigarettes, bad for you but hard to quit...

    Well, toxic exes that we nevertheless get back with don't have to be exclusively human

    Pasadena is family-friendly though - good schools, museums, parks and botanical gardens

    THE BEST botanical garden. I’ve actually taken weekend trips to LA (Pasadena specifically) just for the Huntington and the shops & restaurants in Old Town/Colorado/Playhouse areas. It’s modern & hip, yet quaint & quiet.

    Oy, not for me! I want every single object that reminds me of an ex out of my life forever. Good riddance and khalass!

    So is it really the droughts and wildfires? Or is all the flushing the REAL reason you're always out of water?

    rich, yes, spoilt, bit harsh to immediately jump to that conclusion... also, who are you to judge a kid that doesn't know any better? entitled much?

    I was told I had a Valley accent. I was raised in Montana. Too much TV, I guess.

    Absolutely everyone cares about how you pronounce Los Feliz. Not a lot, but enough to have maybe a two-minute conversation about it. Many will correct you. But I'm calling b******t on anyone who claims there's multiple ways to pronounce "Sepulveda."
