Am I the only one who knows the correct usage of this section of the forum or what?! It's called LOUD NOISES. We use HYPERBOLE in here, ya big ol' dildo.

Please don't bring any more idiocracy from california to the north. And don't hypocritically blame the billionaires that sell you products that you willingly purchase for 'raping and pillaging the earth.' I like living in the most technologically advanced era the planet has ever seen.

Yeah, let's blame the consumer, not the corporations that spend billions of dollars a year lobbying against environmental protections. That makes total sense.

Technology and environmental responsibility aren't mutually exclusive btw

well theres not much you can really do about it, for better or worse. If it makes you feel any better most are moving to TX, AZ, as well as OR, WA. CA has not really experienced a net migration until ?20 si we?ve been taking riff raff from other parts of the country for the longest time. Other than the red states turning more blue, dont have a whole lot of empathy for other states who?ve been unloading on us.

oh and I dont think most ppl care about moving north. more like ppl still moving from the east coast ane midwest to the the southwest to escape the cold. most ppl unlike me do not hate too much sunshine or care about how close they are to racetracks. hell most on this site probably never even drove at an autoX

I just care about having some cool narrow winding roads to drive on. Growing up in Northern Los Angeles there was quite a few. Memphis not so much.

I pretty much have to make the 6-7hr trip to Eastern TN/ Western NC for some nice roads.

portland and seattle are so messed up its insane. socal for sure is a mess, but portland and seattle are just as bad. seems the only people thinking straight are from florida (gasp) and texas...

The Serfs pay the taxes the Lords enjoy the taxes. How are they supposed to afford their private jets that have no emissions equipment, burning leaded fuels, to fly across the country avoiding the lockdowns they imposed if they have to pay so many taxes.

Jet fuel isn’t leaded.

Pros:
- Weather
- Natural beauty
- Lots to do outdoors (indoors too actually)
- Food

Cons:
- Taxes
- Cost of housing and goods
- Disgusting authoritarian politics (Emissions BS, guns, etc.)
- Lack of common sense (shuts down nuclear plants and then bitches about the power grid, refuses to do controlled burns and then bitches about wildfires, etc.)

I should want to live in California. The weather is some of the best on earth and I work in STEM so good jobs are there. If you steal all of my money through taxes, try to tell me I can't own guns, and have ever increasing bullshit car laws, its a hard no from me though. Authoritarian politics and the idea that the 51% can tell the other 49% what to do with no restraint, is a cancer in this country right now, and that's the biggest problem with California.

My wife and I just bought a house here and we are already thinking of moving out of state in a year or two. Raising kids in this state with these woke politics is just plain scary.

factors in climate change to consider, unless for some reason you think it's not real.

https://www.safehome.org/climate-change-statistics/

would recommend looking at the specifics and not just overall scores. Some people aren't going to care about days above 105f or mosquitos. A lot of factors aren't measured and arguably it's a very simplified list. funny enough drought is expected to worsen considerably in WA but be far less impacted in neighboring OR.

CA doesn't rank as poorly as I thought, although wildfires are projected to get a lot worse. droughts are predictably looking bad although WA not that great.

Would avoid FL, LA and TX (although do have a soft spot for San Antonio but hate Austin) and most of the south.

Also if someone has some sort of study where I can avoid cities with degenerates from the far left and far right with mostly moderates that would be most appreciated. hard to relax around those people.

Masks? Oh noes, I should care about other people and be extremely mildly inconvenienced in the process? Is your freedom really so fucking small that this is what tips the government toward authoritarianism?

The government spies on you every day. You have to wear your seatbelt and drive with insurance and not have bald tires and can't have your wheels sticking out from your fenders and have to pay fuel taxes and have to pay state taxes and have to pay increases in property taxes and have to pay federal taxes and have to register for permits and have to pay fees. The mask, though, is too fucking far because it covers up your mouth so you can't spray angry spittle on the supermarket employee just doing their job.

AOC tee shirts? Bruh, that's fundraising in a free market. Shouldn't you be lauding her for asking her supporters to effectively donate of their own accord rather than asking for handouts to do so, or would you just bitch about it no matter what? Besides, isn't the abolition of excessive federal agencies exactly what small-government supporters would want?

The only people thinking straight are from Florida and Texas? Did someone hand you the "Right-Thinking Man's Argumentation Playbook" and you turned to page 37 to the "Hymn of DeSantis?" My dad always said, "Once a state gets to be the top five in infectious virus cases, you know it's run correctly. And if it's second to Louisiana, it's not only run correctly but the governor should be deified." Imagine, America's Dong getting second to America's Boot. And Texas is fucking fantastic, I love losing power during a cold snap but also during hot spells. It really shows that my state is equivalent to a second-world country (did he just compare Texas to an industrialized socialist state?).

There's plenty of shit you're willing to swallow, most of it from the end of the human centipede that is the Republican Party.

past the 1 year mark, keep wearing the mask and if you have children, staple it on their faces too. with your lack of logic, you can go another 10 years enduring this stupidity with the hope and prayer that this is an actual solution. doesnt matter if you're vaccinated, doesnt matter if you're outdoors, just keep doing what you're told.


most people at this point, really dont give a flying fuck.... like nick_d said, want to wear one, cool, dont want to wear one cool, vaccinated ... fine, not, also fine. but instead, we have douches who insist in pushing their ideologies on others. you can say the same with the woke movement, no one fucking cares. no one cares if you take a dick in the ass or if you wear the wrong clothes.

like i said, i just find it funny that so many people gladly bend over and take dick up the ass with no lube on all of this. i guess you must be desensitized after all these years of reaming

My father-in-law factually died from complications of COVID compounded by COPD. Forgive me if my facts don't care about your feelings, because your feelings impacted my fact. Your feelings impacted the fact that others on here had loved ones die from COVID- it was the third-greatest killer of Americans last year.

I started wearing a mask *before* it was required. I kept wearing it *while* it was required. I wore it in my office and around my employees- I even wore it around my brother because he was around my sister-in-law, who was around kids, who could pass it on to their parents and grandparents.

I wore a mask because it wasn't a big deal for me and it made me less likely to pass COVID along. I'm not a fucking saint but I'm not so selfish that I can't just pop on a mask real quick.

If we got vaccinated, wore masks, and slowed/stopped the spread, we'd be looking at a reality of not having to wear masks until a new, aggressive variant comes out. Then we update the vaccinations of those at risk, go through a relatively brief period of reduction, and move on.

I could quote that cancer, the second-greatest killer of Americans, had a punitive effect on our economy of over $130bn, but I don't even think rational arguments have an effect on your beliefs anymore. As this drags on, more resources are used and the cost goes up for taxpayers. People bitch and moan about taxes and then don't take the steps necessary to lower them- they vote for idiots and they walk around with their jaws hung open screaming to the ether about "libruls."

AOC benefits from capitalism? "100% of the profits generated fund Team AOC?s efforts to uplift vulnerable communities, support grassroots community organizations, and fight for systemic change in NY-14 and the USA."

Years of rising crime from Democratic leadership? Do you fact-check a single word you say? Didn't you see the huge rise in violent crime under Reagan? The huge rise in violent crime under Deukmejian? https://www.ppic.org/publication/cri...in-california/

About the computers that aren't allowed in CA, that's because Dell put shitty PSUs in them. There's no reason to piss power away, especially now that we're looking at reduced power generation from Hoover and Powell.

Your father in law factually died from... life. I am sorry for your loss. Death is a part of life, and the sooner people understand this the sooner people will understand that there are things we can prevent and things we cannot. You wearing a mask, im afraid, is not part of the solution. Its just a political tool being used to make people think that something is being done to address this problem. Its putting your finger in the dike.

I really think you are a very misinformed individual. You have a very clouded view of the world. It really shows just how polarized people are in how they think. Im not faulting you, i'm just pointing out an observation. Normally in a free world, you can continue believing and leading your life to your own accord. Yet, here we are where people are protesting and fighting over soon-to-be vaccine passports... further leaning towards authoritarian rule.


People like you will continue to bend over willingly, albeit with pleasure, and take it up the ass.

That's like saying you should accept death instead of taking penicillin when you've got an infection, using an epipen when you have an allergic reaction, or giving someone CPR after they drown. Shit's preventable if you embrace science and technology and hop off this "let's politicize everything" train bound for bullshit-ville.

There's plenty of shit you're willing to swallow, most of it from the end of the human centipede that is the Republican Party.
The irony in here is palpable. Let me get this straight:

1. You don't like other people's "good ideas" being forced on you but you're perfectly fine with getting the government to force your "good ideas" on others. I hate to break it to you but that's not how that works. You either consistently fight that shit or sooner or later, the shoe will be on the other foot and you probably won't like it when it is heel deep in your asshole. There is a case for some government authoritarianism in a serious emergency. Unfortunately, despite your anecdotal experience (sorry for your loss), a bad flu with a much less than 1% mortality rate of mostly unvaccinated elderly that are now 85% vaccinated, is not anywhere near an emergency. If this virus was really as serious as people are acting, force, lies, and coercion wouldn't have to be used at all. People would comply simply because they're terrified of it.

2. Texas had a serious power problem once. Your state has had chronic problems with the power grid, the water supply, and wildfires for decades, and mostly due to the incompetence of your leaders. Pot, meet kettle.

You either consistently fight that shit or sooner or later, the shoe will be on the other foot and you probably won't like it when it is heel deep in your asshole. There is a case for some government authoritarianism in a serious emergency. Unfortunately, despite your anecdotal experience (sorry for your loss), a bad flu with a much less than 1% mortality rate of mostly unvaccinated elderly that are now 85% vaccinated, is not anywhere near an emergency. If this virus was really as serious as people are acting, force, lies, and coercion wouldn't have to be used at all. People would comply simply because they're terrified of it.

2. Texas had a serious power problem once. Your state has had chronic problems with the power grid, the water supply, and wildfires for decades, and mostly due to the incompetence of your leaders. Pot, meet kettle.

This is not a bad flu, no matter how you want to spin it. Mortality rates and hospitalization rates are entirely different, as are transmission rates. If it was just "a bad flu," it wouldn't have been the third cause of death in the United States last year- although you likely consider that to be an inflated number and incorrect.

California has had brownouts and blackouts, yes. California has problems with its water supply, as does Texas. Texas' forested areas are lower in density than California's, and don't have the same problem with extremes of elevation.

California being one of the biggest shitholes in the nation is always something I love to point out as being flat-out wrong in so many ways. GDP, tourist dollars, public lands... the list goes on and on.

Corbic, I have no idea why I continue to go back and forth with you. You have no thirst for knowledge and no zeal for the truth. Instead, you're a dog being led by Russians, Iranians, and Chinese disinformation farms and your false gods.

Had? Try, HAS - as in ongoing.

Regardless of regional variation, the fact is, California has these issues and chooses not to address them. Rather, they focus on Woke-Politics to hide their vast bureaucratic corruption and waste.

Except it is. When is the last time you've left? Trash everywhere. Homeless everywhere. Buildings in total decay. Homes poorly maintained. Dirty beaches. Then the politics.... oh the politics.

You defend it with $$$, which sadly has nothing to do with Californians or the Regime in charge. Those great dollar generating industries where built 20, 30 and +40 years ago. Disneyland, Hollywood, etc was establish, what +70 years ago?

Just look at any "Quality of Life" Index.



California routinely ranks dead-center or just over the line to the lower 25 states.

How can that be? I thought you dominated the nation in terms of GDP, Jobs, Industry, Social Progressiveness, Weather, Climate, Natural Resources, Land, etc. You're getting you ass handed to you by fucking Iowa and can barely eek past Indiana that literally has NOTHING going for it. Terrible weather, flat, boring, corn.... Ya'll fucking lose to MICHIGAN. FUCKING DETROIT IS BETTER THAN YOU.

Businesses and People are RUNNING from California. I got 300k Refugees here, please, take them back. I'm sure the PNW and Colorado would love to start shipping people back to you.

You fuckin computer nerds, you dont need a quality of life index to see that a place is run down and shitty... you just need to walk the streets. Walk Hollywood. Go to Santa Monica (or worse) Venice. I took family visiting from overseas to Westwood and couldnt even walk the streets, most of the businesses on Westwood Blvd were vacant and had 2-3 homeless people sleeping in the entryway. After grabbing some food, I went to get my car out of the car lot but couldnt get to the stairs or elevator. I had to walk up the parking complex and when I met the attendant on the way out, he explained that after 10PM they lock everything up because homeless camp inside. If you're lazy, just search youtube for "homeless los angeles tour" and you'll see plenty.

I'm born and raised here and its a done deal, I have no interest in staying. From the insanely overvalued/inflated cost of micro-real estate, the taxes, the constant ass-fucking by government, parking enforcement, all of it. Basically, living in Cali has turned into a gang-bang train session where you are the star and everyone else is in line to fuck you.

The state is BEYOND repair and many of the people still here are sniffing angel dust with the belief that this place is special, that there is something of insane value here. Well, I can straight up say that there isnt anything of value left. When you see them creating "new developments" that are RIGHT NEXT to the freeway, you know its over. I really do sympathize for anyone stupid enough to move here.

Influenza and coronaviruses are essentially cousins. Covid has roughly 10x the annual mortality rate of the common flu. The spanish flu had nearly a 2% mortality rate. Bubonic plague killed 1/3 of Europe. Argue semantics all you want but both are more deadly than covid. Perhaps I was wrong to describe it as such. "A bad flu" is worse.

Regarding numbers, I don't know how you can inject both a financial, and political incentive into something and not expect the data that you get back out to not be affected. I'm not going to speculate on exactly how, or in what sort of numbers, but it is painfully obvious that this has occurred.

Another important point to consider is, go ahead and google "covid deaths". The graph at the top lets you toggle between deaths and new cases. Look at the peaks in the winter months in late 2020 and early 2021. Look at how the deaths seem to follow the new cases with a 1-2 week delay. Now, look at the current deaths compared to the current spike from 1-2 weeks ago. Deaths are going up but they're not following cases like they did before. Our case rate is pretty high but deaths are not following it. This will really be telling in 2-4 more weeks when deaths continue to rise but not anywhere near the spike in new cases that has occurred. TL/DR: We vaccinated nearly all of the highest risk people and this shit is now even less of an "emergency" than it was to begin with.

You haven't brought anything up other than things that are a consequence of the beautiful land out there or geopolitical factors like the fact that your state controls most of the ports on the coast closest to the region of the world that most of our goods come from.

The rest of us do travel there, spend money there, and enjoy it. However, we are every bit as much paying to get the fuck out when we are done as we are to enjoy ourselves and enjoy the scenery.

In terms of taxes, laws, cost of living and general quality of life, your state sucks. That's why there is a massive exodus out of it, by both individuals and businesses. Your state sucks for the same reason that places like Dubai suck, despite being some of the wealthiest areas in the world: You only have what you do because you were sitting on it. You erroneously conclude that you built what is great but in reality, most don't want to live there and the ones that do, do so despite all the ass-backward bullshit and the parts that you built.

Wear a mask, fine, don't wear one, fine. Get a vaccine or don't, fine by me. Freedom. If you're concerned about dying from the china virus, wear a mask and get a vaccine. Why does everyone else have to look out for your safety?

Don't you agree that the government shouldn't be spying on people for no reason? I don't wear a seatbelt for your safety.

AOC argues against capitalism while directly benefitting from it. Hypocrite much?

No one cares what your dad says, just look at the years of rising crime and homelessness in California under democratic leadership. And why haven't 1000's of bums been dying from covid if this shit is so contagious?

Hope you didn't hyperventilate from writing that nonsense.

Yes, Portland is now a shithole, I blame it on the californian's that moved here and our liberal 'leadership'.

.
Absolutely agree. Also work in Portland OR and it has gone WAY downhill in last 2 years. I personally hope the city never recovers. People need to see what happens to an area when it is controlled by radical leftists for a long time.

They're looking out for their safety (and prosperity). You think the government would give out free shit for your good? They want people healthy enough to work and buy and create tax revenue. That's the argument all the "do or don't, IDGAF" people should make

I am glad to see someone is finally sticking up for pigs. They are smarter than dogs yet treated like mice in factory farms.

Car restoration is next.... it is a huge waste of resources, electricity, water, and adds to the Climate Crisis.

We (my restoration shop) haven't really seen that- while the restrictions are fairly onerous, there's no one saying "hey, you won't be able to do that."

We use a lot of electricity but not a lot of water.

Don't think it doesn't weigh on me. We restore dinosaurs that are driven for pleasure, not for any necessity. We specialize in the cars that don't have catalytic converters and are not electronically fuel-injected.

I've been trying to get one of our investors to fund an electric build. I'd do it myself but I have two BMWs to finish and I'd really like to get back into drifting.

You should require customers to add cats just make it part of the contract. Let your customers move states and take them off if they want to destroy the environment.

Drifting turns petroleum tires into pollution while banging the rev limiter maximizing green house gases. Randy Pobst and Sasha Anis have proven we can race hybrids and electrics while saving the environment for the tech oligarchs to enjoy on their yachts and jets.
