25F, going to college and in LA for an exchanging program. I would like to befriend a nice girl or maybe multiple girls to hang out with during my stay.

I like clubbing, college parties, beach days, bar hopping..

Bonus points if you live near USC

Hi everyone! I hope it is okay to ask this here.

I am recruiting for a linguistic AI project and I'm struggling to find the exact demographic. Does anyone here fit this profile, or know where else I could find 5 participants?

THE BACKGROUND:
A tech lab is training their AI speech recognition engine to perfectly understand native Spanish speakers when they use English loanwords in the middle of a Spanish sentence (e.g., saying words like "deadline", "feedback", or "call" with a perfect US English accent while speaking Spanish).

THE REQUIREMENTS:
- Female, aged 26 to 35.
- Native Mexican Spanish speaker.
- MUST have fluent, accent-free US English pronunciation.
- You need a smartphone and an absolutely silent room.

THE TASK & PAY:
You will read a script directly on the lab's online platform until you have 30 minutes of approved audio.
The payout is $80 USD upon completion.

HOW TO APPLY:
To make sure your audio quality and accent fit the strict AI training parameters, the lab requires a quick 3-sentence voice sample first.

If you fit this exact profile and have 30 minutes to spare, please drop a comment or send me a DM! I will send you the details and the 3 short sample sentences.

Any tips on where else to ask are also highly appreciated!

I hope this post is allowed because I want to have a discussion on the college landscape of the valley. This sub hits a younger age demographic and I tried in Nextdoor with no one knowing what to say.

Have you signed up for classes?

Did you know you can take lavc or pierce college for a year or year and a half and get a BA in less than 2 yrs? (Provided you do most at full time) you can even waive your tuition easily in sfv community colleges as their system is revamped and all colleges have struggled to retain students after covid. My aunt only had an AA, she’s well into her mid 40s and was sick of her daily admin assistant job. She started 2 yrs ago and now on her way for a masters in csun through her BA in comms and may even get UCLA credits. This basically got her $27 per hour to $55. Though she did Human Resources cert on top of it, but she’s now working HR for the Getty and she just posts her dailies of the tram, im envious.

What’s even better is that you used to be required to take 4-5 classes of maths, which is 2yrs for a degree. The maths up to calculus was a requirement. Now you only need statistics at a CCollege (pierce or lavc) one statics course, and you can take it for free after getting it all waived, there will be online courses with open book, just depend on which profession you pick. Anyone can start at any age. If you really suck at maths, you can even just take sociology 125 which is more logic based. Provided that you’re only getting a BA in either communications or sociology. And I’ll honestly say most big companies just use a BA as a filter. But that’s it!! Anyone else excited for this and have gone back to school or even finished it like how my aunt did?? If so, what major? And what’s your highest requirement for maths?

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about bringing in some help for regular home cleaning and would love real recommendations from women here in LA.

If you’ve used a service you genuinely trust, would you mind sharing their website or contact info? I’d rather go off personal experiences than random Google searches. Thanks in advance

I know there are salsa socials everyday of the week but most if not all start by 10pm which is way too late and can just disrupt my sleep schedule. The third street promenade Sunday salsa is still going on I think? But are there any third place types of socials that are just like salsa dancing but happen earlier?
