First off, I'm not a bot made by the republican party. Republicans don't pay me to make this post and I don't work for Pratt's campaign or anyone's campaign. I'm making this post as a real person.

With that being said LA needs new leadership and its sad that they are most likely not going to get it because of this "vote blue no matter who" mentality. Most Americans know that LA has gone downhill, with homeless people everywhere and crazy crack heads attacking you on the streets. It is absolutely not fair for people to be paying $3500 a month for rent while there are homeless people and druggies near the entrance of their apartment complex. No matter how liberal you are, you would still not feel (or even be) safe near them. The rich white liberals in the hills don't have to worry though, they live in nice gated communities in the hills.

This mayoral election I'm watching because of the Palisades fire. The city along with the state completely botched that response by not having enough water due to the resevoirs being drained while that fire happened. There was absolutely incompetent DEI based leadership and it really is undeniable. You want to disagree with the DEI part ? Fine, but they were incompetent leaders nonetheless. A lot of these democrat voters had their houses burned down and there is animosity in the air right now. Not only that, but LA has wasted so much taxpayer money.

There is so much wrong with LA right now that I truly believe they need to just vote leftists out and try something new. Yes, Pratt is not perfect, some would say he is unqualified, but at least what he believes in is good policy. Making it so that homeless people can not sleep or hang out wherever they want and that they should be physically removed off the street (just how Gavin Newsom did to SF's homeless when Chinese president Xi came that one time) is popular policy. Even hardcore liberals are tired of it, but they will keep voting blue because they are tribal or hate republicans so much. Its so....stubborn. Its interesting to observe the psychological aspect of this. If anyone needs new leadership badly is LA. My unpopular opinion is that they NEED someone with different and more conservative ideas to rule LA, but they won't. LA has some real actual problems right now and it makes no sense to just vote for the same people with the same ideology. Hell, one candidate straight up said that we should be ok with homless people being near 500ft within a school. She said it at a council meeting and people booed her, lol.

If you are a democrat voters or a leftist reading this right now, I would not worry, Pratt is not going to win, so I wouldn't get upset at this post, but it is so frustrating to see people voting for the exact same people. Constituents have no right to complain about problems if they vote for the same people over and over again.

I am prepping to do a CodeSignal online assessment for SIG (Susquehanna International Group) and I found an article that contains some questions they have asked the author when he interviewed. I am sorry if it is hard to read, but this is one picture the author took. Can anyone solve this question in Java or C++ preferably ? I'm stuck. It would be good practice for you as well.

Thanks guys !

I have just finished watching Elevator (2011) and I was pleasantly surprised. It was actually a very fun movie to watch. Its one of those indy survival horror movies where characters get stuck in a life or death situatuion like Frozen (2010), Open Water (2003), The Long Walk (2025), Buried (2010), etc. If anyone wants to recommend me one of those that I have not seen, that would be much appreciated.

>!I know this is a movie, but it really bothered me how long the police/firefighters were taking, its almost like they didn't even want to help. In a major city like that, they should have been there in 30 minutes, but it felt hopeless like they weren't ever going to show up.!< The plot was really damn good as well, it was simple and easy to follow. This movie definitly has political/financial commentary that makes you think. In the movie, >!Mrs. Reddings said her husband lost ALL of his money via this investment firm, I was wondering why that dude invested all of his money. Shouldn't you only invest 20-30% ? You can't just put all of your money for gamble. Also, the real antagonist of the movie was the little girl. They got put in that situation all because of her and I had hatred for her the whole time. I feel like in real life people would be yelling at her. She did admit it was her fault towards the end though. However, the one thing that wasn't cleared up was if Mrs Redding was going to blow herself up to where Bartley was going to be at the dinner ? Was she planning to just kill him only via bomb ? You can tell she felt truly guilty when the elevator got stuck. !<

One more thing, if you're ever stuck in an elevator, just call 911. Firefighters are trained to do elevator rescues, they have all the maintenence keys and privledges to do so. Just letting you all know. I felt that the characters didn't know that, trying to contact lazy maintenence guys instead of the fire department.

I have just finished watching The Green Mile for the first time. This movie came out while I was a kid and I remember some of my friend's parents owning this movie on VHS when I would look at their shelves of VHS. It looked like a boring movie as a kid. I forgot about the movie until recently and I have just seen as my first time as a current movie lover.

This movie was good, but it was very very slow, but I guess the director wanted it to be that long for emotional reasons. The first time we seen Coffey on screen and he talks, I knew right away that he was >!innocent!<It was so obvious because you can feel how good of a person he is. It was also interesting that the most evil people in the movie happened to be another prison guard (Percy) and the Billy character.>! I hated these people so much that I was glad bad things had happen to them.!<I did have a major problem with the movie though.>! When Hanks' character finds out that Coffey was innocent, he seemed to not tell anyone else and did not fight for him at all. If it was me, I would go help him get a good lawyer and fight for him. If I knew an innocent man was going to fry, I would defend him and put up a stink. If I had to go to the media then so be it. I was really upset that the prison guards did not do more to convince the state that he was innocent. Hell, the warden's wife was healed, couldn't the warden make some phone calls and or put up a fight as well ?!< That was the only thing that really bothered me. It just really bothered me that the parents of the two killed girls will not know the truth for some reason. Why ? Why would Hanks not tell the parents the truth about their girls ? It bothers me so much man. Other then that, I would give this movie a 8/10. This is a typical actors oscar movie and it wouldn't be for everyone.

EDIT: And also, what was up with Coffey's power ? I wish the movie told us more about it. Where did Coffey come from ? They could have gave us more answers and it bothered me that they didn't. I guess they wanted it all up to interpretation. Also, this movie is free on Youtube right now if you haven't seen it.
