I still don't understand what it has to do with any of the words OP keeps posting. I hope OP gets the help they clearly need.

The article sounds generic but it's explicitly set in Eureka CA, Humboldt County. Thorpe went to my high school a few years earlier and wrote a different article slagging off EHS, which I read during lunch at EHS (pretty surreal).

Lots of people are connected to this area somehow, like Spongebob's creator getting a Marine Bio degree at Humboldt State University. Which unfortunately became Cal Poly Humboldt or something, now a STEMlord college instead of liberal arts. I would have been a redditor or 4chan rear end in a top hat without the mandatory liberal arts education HSU beats into every student, even math/physics. Like 24 general ed classes IIRC. Made me a loser goon instead of a loser sociopath like SV techbros

Is the new cal poly designation actually going to change the liberal arts reqs

Also lmao I only ever had 1 of those classes because I transferred here with a bunch of prior units

Hopefully they still make kids take everything, just assuming not now that it's a Polytechnic. But hey, free resume upgrade!

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

spicy take: Humboldt County, the movie, is actually...good?

but only if you've spent a significant amount of time in that lovely misty shithole weed town called Arcata.

We had a Sharkeys arcade in my hometown but it was just a front for drug dealing. I smoke the cheapest highest thc I can get, usually an oz of 18% for 70 bucks.

gently caress Karnov, 1 HP was bullshit and we knew it

My dad would take me on Wednesdays where 5 bucks = 5x5 tokens x2 (double day). I'd hyperfocus for 50 games while he stood outside smoking

Plus there was that creepy "joke shop" next door

I dropped a token into karnov, played for a minute then played karnov in the woods for, like, a week. the dryad thing that's the second or third enemy blew my young mind with its coolness

Isn't Humboldt like really wrapped up in crazy libertarian poo poo? Like, the same person that's like "yeah man weed is great I think things would be better if more people smoked" is also like "motherfucker if you ever so much as look at my loving fence again I'll have the god damned Yakuza drop 500,000 pounds of sand on your loving farm" and follow through on it?
