Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I’m genuinely confused. Everything I’m looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn’t really “importing” it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.

Where does it come from? I’m pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?

I only wear v-necks because I hate regular collars. I have 10+ of the same shirt in a few different colors and I cried when I couldn’t find the kind I liked a long time ago (I’ve since found another brand that is tolerable and I also switched to long sleeve v-necks)

Anyway, it was fun realizing I was autistic and not just secretly a cartoon character who was transported into the real world

I thought all the people acting like the feds care about this site were joking.

So I’m old, but there’s this NES game called Abadox that my brother and I played growing up. It was an insanely hard shooter that scrolled horizontally and vertically. You’re inside some sort of alien body zooming around killing shit, but also some paths will dead end and you just die if you go the wrong way so you gotta memorize (or hand draw) the maps. One hit kills you and you lose all upgrades, so sometimes continuing becomes impossible because the enemies are too hard without upgrades.

I used to have nightmares about this game

Firefighters in areas with regular forest fires don’t have “surplus” equipment

They definitely do? Surplus is more than just extra shit sitting in storage until you need it. You gotta maintain that equipment, which requires people, time, and money. If the equipment isn’t maintained it would be just as useless as not having it at all. Obviously there is a line somewhere when it becomes too costly to maintain surplus equipment and it’s better to get rid of it.

I’m not saying LAFD is run well or defending any of this shit, but to call people morons (kinda ableist btw) over this is silly and you’re wrong anyway

Oh it’s definitely suspicious how many connections there are and the timing. I just think people don’t know that literally every single person who trains for special forces goes through there. It would be like if the news ran a story about two FBI agents and said they were both at Quantico as if they don’t all go there.

There is a correlation between desegregation and a decline in public services, largely because racist white people want to keep segregating themselves so they started private schools and shit like that. I could definitely see a lib interpreting it in a way that results in blaming Rosa Parks. Even better if they really blame Claudette Colvin
