"Not completely terrible" is basically the only requirement for a Democratic candidate to get elected in the populous parts of California. Kinda wish we had higher standards but when the other options are rightwing shits it pretty much guarantees them a win, unless they like, ate a baby or something. e: if a candidate whose general description was "More rights for women and gays, continued corporate fuckery but maybe some anti-prop 13 statements, also ate a baby" ran against "deport all the immigrants, lower taxes on the rich and stymie road maintenance and other civic goods" I'd vote for the baby eater nine times out of ten. e2: Fat Bastard for Governor 2020 Grand Prize Winner fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Oct 19, 2017 |

Once every few months I gather some non-smoker friends and hightail it down to Mexico. They get cheap duty-free booze, I get each of them to carry a carton. Win-win, except for my organs.

I was working a public hearing in Carson when the city council was gearing up for some kind of vote about it and lemme tell you, there are a lot of people who don't see any difference between weed and meth. Most of them are over 40 and have the time to show up to a city council meeting at 10am on a Wednesday.

god bless our weed laws without them dealers would be out of work, but instead we got dudes openly slinging at the rosa parks/willowbrook metro station, literally just shouting like carnival barkers that they have weed and their price per ounce and still old church ladies give me the side-eye for knocking back a couple airline shots

kurona_bright posted:The thing is you can still serve more people without hugely increasing congestion by investing in public transportation (and encouraging people to use it). For example, a fleet of buses that can hold 40+ people each could serve as many people as a new lane without the construction costs, and it'll be better for the environment. The real strength of a solid public transit system is that you can drink on your way to work. If we really advertised that feature I think a lot more people would get on board.

Admiral Ray posted:Of the many, many mistakes the politicians and voters have foisted on us, the Plastic Bag Ban and Tax is easily the most nefarious, hateful, and directed. No longer are Californians able to go to the store without wondering: Will this be it? Is it my time? I, too, have had this worry. Like many of those gathered here, I have bought groceries. I know, I know, we all have servants to do this, but I find a perverse pleasure in buying my own home goods. Who can hate the lovely can of Cambell's soup? The joyful Ziplock? The gregarious Pedigree Dog Chow? It was with these images in mind I went to the store to fulfill my addiction to plastic bags. As I gathered my hard won resources the worry crept in. I looked to my right hand and saw it held naught but a 24 rack of Bud Light Lime. I looked to my left and saw it grasping a single Hungry Man frozen dinner. Ignoring the growing terror in my throat I approached the cashier. Would this be my time of ending? With a detached mind, I saw them sweep my food across the scanner. I saw them look down the belt, then at me. I saw them mouth the words, those terrible words. I nodded. I paid. I am humiliated, a mere husk of what I had been. I knew then that the government had gone too far, that our freedoms had been curtailed. The divine right of kings had been abrogated and humanity now wanders in the dark, ready to die from whatever blow strikes us. I'm cheap enough that if I forget a bag I'll whip off my jacket and turn it into a sad lumpy kinda-bag thing but at least that way Big Bag won't see ONE GODDAMN DIME of my HARD EARNED MONEY
