CA is experiencing a heat wave, our Batman villain Governor still has the state on lockdown, now they're cutting the power

It blows my mind how so many people make California seem like a hell hole. You guys must really be brainwashed by media to think anywhere on the west coast is a bad place to live, but by all means you can have Ohio lmao 🤣 personally I wouldnt live there because I enjoy the rain too much but it would be 3rd choice state behind Oregon and Washington.

Honestly California needs to just collapse so anything fostering that is great. Eventually even really dumb citizens understand survival , too much agricultural value there to just let them destroy it completely, but they are getting some impressive results.

Rich people leave, time to worry bro. When Joe Rogan says fuck this place, it’s bad.

Yeah. I too enjoy tent cities and homeless, drug addicted vagrants taking a shit under every bridge in my city. Really makes for a nice family atmosphere.

Sounds like you need to turn off your TV and smell the roses my man. That shit is clearly destroying your brain. And good luck finding a state where no media personality bad mouths. Who cares what the media elites think anywhere.

You also need to turn off your TV and live your life. You're being lied to and it's clearly affecting your mental well being.

This is the exact kind of low energy/intellect response I expected. But it’s not like you can defend what’s taking place so better just to go after the person that points it out 👍

I guess I just have the ability to think and see things and come to my own conclusions without needing media personalities to tell me what to think. I consider it a skill. But yeah you can have Ohio 🤣 ill take west coast all day!

Yeah. I’m being lied to about 60,000 homeless people in LA alone. That’s a myth like the violence at BLM rallies in Portland.


The number of homeless people in Los Angeles has grown by 33% over the past four years. Every night, nearly 60,000 Los Angeles County residents are homeless, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority has found.

I don't live in California but I would invest in solar panels if I did. It's a no brainer between the terrible local utilities, high electricity prices, vast amounts of sunlight, and tons of state tax subsidies.

Sorry, orange man good. There now you can shake some of the sand out your vag and go about your day without your dear leader being disparaged. You guys are all so fragile.

You are softer than a jelly doughnut as an intellect so I’m betting the physical falls right in line. Weak men project like you.
 
Don’t forget to remind all your transgendered friends about your philosophy. I mean it will invalidate their existence, but you’re all about reality.

I dont have any trans gender friends. And if I did I wouldn't be going out of my way to invalidate their existence as you say, plus I have no clue how my opinion would actually invalidate anyone else's existence to begin with? When it comes down to it I feel bad for you guys, so much bitterness and inability to think for yourselves leads to an unhealthy life. Go enjoy nature! Get some perspective.

Oh yeah. You’re the expert on perspective. The guy who blames Trump for the homelessness in LA is lecturing other people about perspective.

Yeah. What a jackass. Expecting the state with an economy bigger than most countries to have a functional power grid. Of course, rather than engage with that reality, it’s always easier to just attack the guy pointing it out. Doesn’t keep the lights on though.

Nah there are plenty of reasons to think he’s an idiot. California occasionally gets over capacity when it has extreme heat waves. To use that to say it’s a failed state and every politician needs to be fired is idiotic, which Scott Adams says...because he’s an idiot.

Room for improvement? Sure. Failed state? Stupid.

We have the largest population of any state, we are not the largest state by landmass, we have all kinds of crazy rich people, high taxes, high cost of property, high cost of living. The money is flowing. If we can't provide basic services we are failing. Scott Adams is right and you are a shill.


If he's an idiot, why is he rich and you aren't? Are you even an engineer? A cartoonist? What's your resume that you can call him an idiot with any credibility?

Welcome to 2001. How is this different than any other year there have been blackouts?
you could be right, even fire tornados seem to be a known thing for at least a century.
Another example is the numerous large fire whirls (some tornadic) that developed after lightning struck an oil storage facility near San Luis Obispo, California, on 7 April 1926, several of which produced significant structural damage well away from the fire, killing two. Many whirlwinds were produced by the four-day-long firestorm coincident with conditions that produced severe thunderstorms, in which the larger fire whirls carried debris 5 km (3.1 mi) away.
this is interesting, wasn't it just the 75 anniversary of the atomic bomb drop on Japan?
Firewhirls were produced in the conflagrations and firestorms triggered by firebombings of European and Japanese cities during World War Two and by the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Firewhirls associated with the bombing of Hamburg, particularly those of 27–28 July 1943, were studied.

Scott Adams is an interesting guy. He’s got some unique views that I appreciate. But I wouldn’t say I agree with him even most of the time. However, while “failed state” is hyperbole, the point remains that a state with the largest economy in the country and high taxes can not manage to keep the lights on. That is a failure of government at its most basic levels. And these same assholes are busying themselves fixing racist figments of their imaginations and making sure illegal residents don’t get deported to their home countries.

Why is Kim Kardashian much wealthier than you?

She's better looking, a woman, and in regards to knowledge and understanding about social media and certain aspects of the human experience she is smarter than I am. I have no trouble admitting this.


Why do you ask? Do you think Kim Kardassian is stupid?

Nah, I just don’t think she got rich off her intellect, which seems to be the premise of your question about why Scott Adams is rich and I’m not. He found a niche and made his money off it. He also sounds like a moron every time he sips his coffee and pontificates about things. His Sam Harris conversation really told me all I needed to know about the guy: he thinks he’s got it all figured out and has that special knowledge, and it’s gone to his head.

To answer your question: I’m not an engineer. I’ve worked with dozens over the years, some much dumber than me and some much smarter. I can usually tell where I stand pretty quickly, and I like meeting people smarter than me because I think I can learn something. Scott Adams doesn’t have anything to teach me

Highly successful cartoonist = tapping into an aspect of the human experience


Look, if you don't like him that's fine. But if he's stupid can I get me some of that? If I drink enough alcohol and smash my head into the wall enough will I become successful as he has? If you have this attitude it's cause you've written him off prematurely. Even if you don't understand his point of view or don't like it, the fact that he's become successful through understanding the human experience means it's worth studying.


Edit: Also it's sexist if you think that Kim Kardassian is stupid and intellect has nothing to do with it.

Well I never said Kim is stupid, I just don’t think she got rich off her brains. And Scott might be good at understanding certain things that people identify with, which is why his comic was successful, but I think that’s failed to translate into...basically anything else. Every time he talks, I really think he’s an idiot. He made funny comics tho.

She was born rich, used her family connections to market herself to a disposable culture and her family is made out of more plastic than a Nintendo factory. Plus the bitch made a shitty porn that for some reason all these ho's liked.

So wealth has nothing to do with intellect.
