does anybody know how to apply for the new amazon warehouse? i can’t find any positions for it online. i even went to the official amazon careers site and looked up victorville and it shows nothing. just tryna get a package handler type job.

Hi! Has anyone lived at Copper Square Apartments in Lancaster, CA & can speak on their experience? I’m considering moving there & want to know if it’ll be a good move. Let me know!🗣️

Hello everyone I just am wanted to know if I should consider a different trade or not , I have yet to start the classes but the whole point is to make sure after I complete the certification the money is there , and the job market is good. I spoke with counselors and stuff but I felt like they just wanted me to finish the appointment 😭 thank you

Im looking for recommendations for a piercer to do a prince albert and recommendations would be appreciated

fall semester is almost about to start. looking forward to returning to school, been awhile since I last was at school.

would anyone like to hang out who also goes to VVC or stays near by there. Im currently undecided on a major but leaning toward social media marketing.

im 25 turning 26 next month, so would also like to make friends before hand to have a celebration 😅

My husband and I are currently living down the hill (near Raging Waters) with our two young kids. We’re in a 2 bed, 1 bath renting for $1,750/mo. We're super grateful for the affordable rent right now, but we're outgrowing it fast and our 3-year goal is to buy our own home.

Realistically, buying down the hill just isn’t in the cards for our generation—the prices are out of control. We’ve been looking at moving up to the High Desert (Spring Valley Lake area) where we can actually afford a great 3-4 bedroom single-story with a yard for the kids.

He’s an operator, so we know he’s going to be driving regardless depending on where he’s working.

For those who have made the move up the hill with a young family:

• How is the transition for raising kids up there? (Community vibes, parks, schools, family life).

• For operators / trades members: How brutal is managing the Cajon Pass commute on a daily basis when you’re working down the hill? Is the trade-off of having a real home and yard worth the extra commute time?

• Anything you wish you knew before making the jump from down the hill?

Appreciate any insight, tips, or food for thought appreciated!

I occasionally see houses for sale in that neighborhood and I like that it has sidewalks and I can definitely see my future kids playing outside without worrying about cars too much. But crime maps often show that area as not being that safe. Any input from those familiar with the area would be greatly appreciated!

Please leave any agency you know in the comments. I live in Hesperia and i find it so hard to find a job I’m just looking for something basic like picking, packing, stocking, shipping, receiving any warehouse work basically. I’m currently pregnant and trying to find work before i get bigger to save up money and try to help out my husband

I have a buddy that lives in Lake LA and I just absolutely love it out there! As a city boy through and through, it is nice to get away from the city every once in a while for a more tranquil, community-oriented, mom-and-pop shop environment.

I understand that moving there means I’d have to travel far for work or find work in nearby Palmdale/Lancaster, but I don’t mind that—for now, until I finish school. I also understand that moving there means no McDonalds, no Ralphs, no Starbucks, etc., and that if I want to go to places like that, I’d have to travel to Palmdale/Lancaster for that. Again, I don’t mind that at all.

I look forwards to the responses, good or bad.

Edit: for what it’s worth, I’m not from Riverside originally I’m from Santa Ana, so when I say I’m from the city, I’m FROM the city lmao

We never talk about it but what are the worst intersections/lights in the high desert?

I’ll go first:

1. bear valley/Hesperia. the turn light gives you like 3 cars worth of time before yellow.

2. bear valley going towards mall over I 15, gets stopped up and everyone gets stuck in intersection.

3. Seneca and La Paz, confusing intersection.

what do you think?

I have the weekend off for the first time im forever but have no where to go. Is there anything fun happening locally?

I’m looking for a regular job like stocking, cashier, picking, packing, any material handling or warehouse jobs available? I can’t find anything unfortunately

I just saw a rental listing.

>Rural Country horse property, 15 miles to shopping. well >water. 2 miles to bus stop for school.
>Unpaved Access road. Must have 4x4 Winter access.

I am really interested how is the living like this?
How do you interact with neighbors?
Do you carry?
Are you afraid if you leave the house that someone would break in?
Do your kids walk from the school bus home?
Do you drink well water?
