How do they do it?
>>214660074Fertile valleys and large coastline connected to the largest ocean in the world
>>214660074It's the greatest piece of real estate on this planet.I was a california hater, brainwashed by chud memes hating on cali.Visiting it changed me. It is truly amazing.
>>214660074literally the most beautiful, blessed land on earth
>>214660074The native Americans in that region literally lived in the garden of Eden. Nobody had to work because the weather was constantly perfect and fruit grew on trees
I'm planning a trip up to the redwood Forests up north once it cools down a bit
>>214660153>>214660294>>214661369imagine how beautiful california would've been with the massive lake in the middle
We went up to the hot springs last month, the geothermal pools are fucking so relaxing
>>214661369It's almost poetic how the western most piece of land on earth is the most perfect.
>>214661440rising water levels will bring this kino back, no worries
In the 70s the Getty family built a full size Roman domisnin the hills of Malibu and turned it into a museum for Greco Roman shit. They have Roman and Greek artefacts from ancient times. I saw a fragment from a copy of the Odyssey dated back to the first century AD
>>214661625>domisnin*Domus in
They've even got a beach for broccoli heads
>>214661440hmmm. best i do is a concrete reservoir filled with floating plastic balls to prevent evaporation.
>>214660074by having all of the benefits of being part of the USA; but separated by the Sierra Nevada Mountains, makes California somewhat cut-off. But they are not an isolated provincial mountain people like the Appalachians. They are coastal, generally more tolerant and open to weirdos with weird ideas, as well as more open to foreign talent and foreign goods. USA was already a world-power when California was still being settled. And there was less of an entrenched hereditary aristocracy on the West Coast, than on the East Coast. This allowed for more dynamism and innovation. Good public universities are an indirect way for tax dollars to subsidize the Californian economy with an educated workforce, and research that can then be taken into the for-profit sector. US military investments helped lay a foundation of that success in aviation and tech. But those stimuli only took-off in California, because of the ambitious businessmen, and an innovation focused attitude.
>>214663520it's really sad how much humans have fucked up this planet man
>>214661416Any easy recs for an Amerifat itenary?
>>214661440It’s genuinely some of the most valuable agricultural land on the planet
>>214664710I really don't give a fuck I want the lake back
>>214664637See>>214661416>>214661494>>214661625Also depending on the time of year there's also snowboarding or skiing in Tahoe
EDC used to be out here too till they went all corporate and moved it to soulless Vegas. That seems to happen to every big annual party, even Burning Man sold the fuck out
>>214661494what are the best hot springs in california
>>214664937I dunno I've only been to the ones out in Inyo County. But they got a few of them. I dropped acid on the desert in my buddy's VW bus that night and stared at the stars with my chick
>>214665028wtf I didn't realize california had hot springs that beautiful I went to some in montana like that but the ones in california I went to looked like dog shit. literally mud baths in the middle of the desert
Did they ever had bears there?
>>214661625A lot of their shit is fake unfortunately. The villa is still nice though
I remember watching a couple of months ago Dirty Harry and reaching the end where there's a zoom out during the credits and it shows a small lake with a nearby canal. I searched for the location and it turned out that the lake dried up and no longer exists. I wonder how many similar places in California have dried up as well. That's pretty sad.
>>214665083Yes, there were even grizzlies in the mountains in Southern California. But then the White man came and killed them all.
>>214665056Yeah that's how the ones in Inyo County are. But they got a whole mess of em all over
>>214661625Went on a field trip there in 6th grade. Pretty cool, thankfully survived the fires recently also.
you guys should watch this movie it's really good(although palm springs as a city really sucks)
>>214665112>A lot of their shit is fakeI don't know what by Christ would make you say that. The Getty is a world renown historical institution that regularly gets shit on loan from museums worldwide
>>214665083We still do but only the pussy ass black bears
>>214665178Yeah I went there in 5th grade and it instantly became my favorite place. I never forgot it and went back later several times as an adult. As a Romeaboo, it's something you can't miss
>>214665207We went in vacation to Palm springs. Never again, at least not in the summer. It was 120° in the fucking shade. My sandals were melting to the asphalt if I stood still too long
>>214665334it's literally so fucking shitty I don't know why rich people lived out there in the 2010s. it shows that rich people are kind of retarded
The Huntington Library is another must-see
>>214660074how come they're considered a cringe reddit state while a cornfield in Iowa is considered trad and 4chan?
>>214660074have you tried living here?i mostly hated growing up in the bay areanow im in sactown and this city is shit and it doesnt even have good weather id move to chiraq or slc at the drop of a dime
>>214665588A lot of cringe reddit shit starts in L.A., but thankfully LA isn't the entire state
>>214665658I lived in SacTown for a while. Everything closes wicked early and for some reason there's a shit ton of Russians everywhere
>>214665676San Francisco and Berkeley are bigger origin points of that kind of pluralistic liberal ideology intellectually.
>>214665731Point taken. But then it's funneled to LA and Hollywood gets its mitts on it and trasmits it to the masses
>>214665702i dont give a crap about thati want law and orderlock up the mentally derangedput security on the lightrail stop setting the price of the fucking ambulance start unapologetically arresting people when they do crimesfigure out a way to start shutting up the shitlibs and fucking let people build these bullshit regulations and bureaucracies and unions are literal mafias course none of that is going to happenlike literally id vote for anybody who bangs the drum of law and order im sick of this
>>214665143The natives were killing Grizzlys for years too. Grizzlys are the assholes of bears. They're gone and much friendlier Black Bears are still common though.
>>214665676god point reyes is so cool I'd go as far to say its underrated, despite being close to the bay area nobody ever really goes there
A year ago I went on a trip with a couple of friends and drove by the Pacific Highway all the way to Carmel-by-the-sea. I consider it a highlight, it was really pretty.
>>214665588It's literally just retarded flyover jealousy.
>>214665207it's damn hot and it has a couple golf courseswhat's so special about it exactly??
>>214665859What is it? I don't know much about middle California I only know norf an souf
>>214665897what in the hell is there to be jealous about? what???
>>214665914Hey! It's got a tram too. I rode it all the way to the top of San something or other mountain
>>214665914>>214666004aside from the tram it's literally just a bunch of single story houses in the middle of the desert it has an outlet mall and uh that's it really stupid place>>214665933it's a huge natural reserve for some of the most unique geological formations in california basically as the state was getting cleaved in half by some fault zone like a million years ago it formed point reyes but what is it? basically a bunch of gentle rolling hills and little beach enclaves like this with some forest too
>>214666233it's the placed where all the hippies went cause that celebrity thought it was cool there or somethingi mean for fuck's sake least go to like reno or las vegaswhere i am it's shorter to go to renoand if i wanted to ride a gondola i could go to tahoe but who gives a fuck about a damned gondola
>>214666233Beauty
>>214665933some parts of point reyes look like this too it's a really fun place to explore >>214666280man reno is really trashy but I kind of love it the drive, the casinos, the snowy mountains, it's just a really aesthetic place despite all the methhead fuckups on the streets
>>214665859>>214666233they just kicked out all the farmers at point reyesid prefer if they just let the cattle graze there so I can see both wild elk and cattle on the rolling green hills next to the ocean like they do in oregon
Such a shame is full of mexicans
>>214666344Why do California forests look like Mesozoic forests and shit
>>214666431the mexicans are bad but i hate the white shitlibs infinitely worse and it's not even close
>>214666431In the south but the concentration becomes less the more north you go, but it never reaches zero, only in certain places
>>214666379>they just kicked out all the farmers at point reyeswtf that's so stupid seeing the cows on those hills was so beautiful https://abc7news.com/post/secret-deal-end-ranching-point-reyes-forces-farmworker-families-find-new-housing-jobs/16924171/never heard of this before but its so dumb
>>214666502Living among white libtards is probably ok so long they are not actively funneling brown people into your living spaceOf course eventually they -will- do it and then ot will become a shithole by the time white libtards get bitchslapped back to reality or go extinct.Such is the cycle of life!
So point Reyes, cool. What's other Middle Calikino, I feel like I'm missing out on a whole new world
>>214666590i was raised by two of them and most of these shitlibs dont care cause they live in a nice suburb
>>214666502Bro white shitlibs are infinitely nicer people to have around in day to day life than anybody else. They're annoying but that's about it.>>214666590White shitlibs are wealthy and live fairly conservative lives by conventional standards in reality. It's conservatives here that are low class trashy people.
>>214666908fuck you we're fundamentally different people and im ashamed i share the same state as you
>>214666772Were they bitchy, cynical and passive agressive? They give off that vibe
>>214660074Ruin the greatest land of all time with endless immigration and shit tier politics? I don't know.
>>214666951I was raised by two shitlibs in the suburbs too and you know I'm right. Wealthy and educated people are liberal in America and have been for awhile. It's low brow trashy plebians that are republicans in the United States. If not they're penny pinching miserly small business owners.
>>214666993no they were quite nice and i was raised in a relatively nice area and funded me going to collegethey can be that and also unimaginably stupid at the same time not mutually exclusivethat's the boring truth of the white shitlibthey cant go extinct fast enoughtheyre also why i dont identify with being white or feel any pride in it and couldnt care less what percentage of the population whites are >>214667074go shove it
>>214660074I'd still rather live in new york. too many asians and mexicans in calibrownia
Are there actually bears over there
>>214667156>>214665261
>>214667144Wait till you hear about Puerto Rican. Also you're brown yourself. If you thinkNY is some white ethnostate you got another thing coming pal
>>214667144new york is more diverse than california pal
>>214667144new york is almost as brown as californiaand you are brown as wellwhy do you care
>>214664928>even Burning Man sold the fuck outBurning Man was already dead by the time they officially sold out tbf. It had been attracting tech bros and social media influencers for years prior.
>>214667227>>214667144There's an island called Puerto Rico that 4 hours away from NY. They are brown Latinx with the added feature of having black blood too. They are all American citizens and have American citiship and can come to America without any problems and there's about 11 million of them in NY. There are also Jamaicans, Dominicans, Haitians, all the detritus of the Caribbean. And then there's people from everywhere else on earth, NY is the new rome
>>214667247Electric Daisy Carnival sold out in like 2010. Burning Man sold out around 2008
