What’s your favorite movie theater in LA?

I really like cozy cinemas where the seats recline and are heated and super soft, in LA I’m still new here and have only been to Cinemark (cozy and nice), and TCL which is absolutely beautiful. I’d love to know everyone’s favorite theaters?

Where can I have a nice succulent Chinese meal in a cozy environment, preferably one with a fish tank or fake waterfall and calming music?

Tell me your favorite spots?

Im wanting to upgrade my 2015 Fit EX so it has Apple CarPlay, however im not sure if I should pay $1000 to keep lanewatch + backup camera, or pay $500 for the unit that loses lane watch but still keeps the backup camera.

The two I found that seem perfect are the Sony XAV 9000es (keeps lanewatch and backup camera) and Sony XAV 4000 which loses lanewatch but keeps the backup camera. If I trade this in the future, I’m worried disabling lanewatch would hurt it? I never use lanewatch myself so personally I’m fine with saving $500, but eventually I would want to trade this in.

As a local, do you feel that SF is actually one of the most walkable, transit friendly cities in the U.S.?

It’s always ranked high on different lists, but as a local, do you agree that it’s more walkable and transit friendly than cities like Chicago, DC, and Boston, etc, which are often ranked around or even below SF?

Am I being treated differently because of my race or is it in my head?

I’m mixed black and white and noticed that since I moved to LA I feel like I’m treated differently than everyone else. Store owners and baristas will either not say hi at all, or just a hi and take my order and that’s it, but literally almost every other person they smile and ask how their day is or start small talk. I also notice in crowded spaces people will not sit directly next to me, but have no issue sitting close to others, and I notice they always put their bags opposite of them or scoot it away when I’m by them but they don’t seem to do that for others. This guy sitting near me at a cafe had a cute dog that he had no issue having other people compliment his dog and he would tell them all about it, his reaction was different when I said his dog was beautiful. He literally said “what?” and when i repeated it with a smile he said “oh” and looked away. When I try being nice like offering my seat or holding the door, people literally don’t say a word or look at me like I’m weird. I observe other people though and their interactions are so much more pleasant, and people are always starting small talk with each other. When lived in Chicago and DC, I’ve gotten lots of compliments on my style, skin and people ask about my skincare routine, and will smile and start small talk. But those cities have a large black population where in LA I often feel like we aren’t as visible in trendy neighborhoods. I’m wondering if it’s all in my head, but it really hurts because I’m not used to it. I don’t expect people to be bubbly and friendly to me, but going out of the way to make me feel invisible (if this is the case) is a knife to the heart.

2015 Honda Fit, there was a light high pitched whistle sound when turning right on bends and random whistles when driving straight, it’s not all the time but I just started noticing it. Any idea what this could be?

I’m assuming it’s something to do with my brakes?

Is there really any benefit to walking 9000-10000 steps a day (normal steps, not exercising)?

I walk about 9500-10000 steps a day because I’m always exploring my city. Is there really any benefit? I moved from a small town where I averaged 2k steps a day, and now for the past 21 weeks I’ve consistently walked above 9000 steps without trying.

I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know how to cook, but what tools do I need to get started?

I’m going to go to the store and get what I need to be able to cook anything, I don’t want a bunch of fancy tools, but literally don’t know what to get and was hoping someone here can give me an idea of what to buy. Like i literally only know about pans but don’t understand the different sizes and depths and what they’re for exactly except for like frying eggs

Any recommendations for an Apple CarPlay unit that works with the blind spot/turn signal and backup cameras on a 2015 Fit?
