The biggest Assholes advertise themselves by mounting flags on poles in the bed of their pickup truck, in case you forgot where you live, and then feign into your lane if you dare try and pass them to let you know how macho they are. Honestly, everything east of Ontario is pretty much Arizona at that point. In other news, California is close to becoming the first state to pass a clear sexual consent bill into law. http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/8/29/california-lawmakerspasscampussexassaultbill.html

Sydin posted:They can only jack these up so much before the majority of students can't afford university or to pay back their staggering student loans. I swear it's like they want the student loan bubble to burst so hard it tanks the economy again. Don't you know, only the wealthy and connected should go to college? I don't care if you were born on the wrong side of the tracks, you'll probably waste your education on a useless Humanities degree  How much of this can be blamed on budget mismanagement?

AYC posted:I wish we could find some influential billionare with some sympathy towards us who could fund a ballot measure that would limit tuition to $1500/yr at all UC campuses (which is what I pay w/ my CalVet fee waiver). They can only gently caress us over for so long before it becomes unsustainable. It won't stop. With tuition rising AND non-STEM departments being slashed? UCs are slowly turning into elitist trade schools.

ProperGanderPusher posted:Are there any signs that private schools with very high tuition as a whole are not doing well? Nearly nobody I know (including myself) thought much about the price of college when applying. Our only thoughts was "Meh, whatever, I'll pay it off eventually plus you can't not go to college anyway, right? In any case, I'm not going to a CSU like some pleb." I'm sure things have changed a bit over the last few years, but it's going to take a lot to make teenagers not want to go to college due to financial reasons. Which explains the push for cutting "unnecessary" programs in universities (hint: everything non-STEM) or offering up alternative routes, like Trade schools. But these only offer temporary solutions to the problem.

Minarchist posted:So...dumb people who don't understand that no one who watches porn wants to see condoms? Summerlin? Either way, CA is already losing its grip on the porn industry. Dark Priest, our resident goon porn producer, has mentioned that production has already moved to Vegas and other places. I wonder if this will affect the Gay Porn industry since it seems production uses protection more often than their heterosexual counterparts.

If I remember correctly, Darkpriest, SA's resident porn producer, did mention some production moving to Florida. E: also, who says porn is limited to on camera studio work. From the same thread, a lot of actresses supplement their income with strip club appeances, cam shows and even escort work. Okuteru fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Space-Bird posted:Probably it's as simple as showing safe sex will encourage safe sex. What I don't get is how it will "ruin" the industry. Porn is supposed to be a sexual fantasy dree from stds and pregnancy. Condoms would ruin that fantasy and using this ordinance to promote safe sex is a terrible idea due to the reasons other goons have posted.

One protester showed up to with a sign that stated that cell phones cause cancer and Beau Biden died because of that. He was taken down immediately by Secret Service. Also, Kamala Harris is pretty much a lock for senator and I wouldn't be surprised if she gets a cabinet position in a Democratic White House years from now.

People like me defend the IE as "no, it's not really just a desert filled with meth houses and isn't some Republican sanctuary (it went Obama in 08 and was split in 12)". The IE only goes blue for presidential elections. It tends to vote pretty conservative for local and state. When the weed initiative popped up years ago, they were pretty strongly against it and I would't be surprised if they go the same way again, new transplants to the IE notwithstanding. cheese posted:Shes basically an OC Republican with a very touching working class/immigrant story.
