One would certainly find it a bit more defensible if it was a homeless guy jerking it in a deserted alley behind an auto shop or something, rather than the thing that exists precisely to have multiple people on it at once.
My understanding is that "Down Bad" is a reference to a Taylor Swift song about reeling from a breakup. Your whole neighborhood being destroyed by a fire seems worse, but then I've been told breakups are sometimes as hopeless.
> I don’t know if this person is right wing per se, but apparently Ukraine and Israel are supposed to be helping us with the fires and have forsaken us:
Love the new definition of "down bad" here. Btw, Ukraine is sending aid for the fire.
Having lived through a forest fire (this one supposedly a controlled burn) that wiped out over 400 homes in our mountain town, and brought about the evacuation of about 40,000 people for several weeks, what is on my mind is the devastation that this does to a person and the community that they had lived in. It takes decades for a burnt forest to come back. In the meantime, the loss of vegetation makes the region susceptible to flooding.
As such, I don't get the attitude of some to look past the suffering of many to trying to find opportunity to point a figure and score figurative points, with whom I don't know.
Chaparral is an oil based brush and when heated is known to explode. Not a pine tree but it has its own characteristics and burns the shit out of the neighborhoods just the same
the short answer is chaparral doesn't have trees, just bushes and grass. The land is more at risk for landslides now because there aren't many roots left.
He is not wrong, CA is a deeply dysfunctional state.
What's wrong with trailers? CA is trailer heaven anyways, no tornadoes, etc even more so now, with this displacement.
There's (or was) more trailers for sale in Irwindale than you could shake a stick at.
But fires are a trailer parks natural enemy. Story time-there was a homeless person, camping off of Sierra hwy in Rosamond. I used to see him at the local titty bar, before the state shut it down and pulled their liquor license during Covid. They tried to make a go of it as a steakhouse, but its now another abandoned property. I digress. This guy looked like a scrawny, slight dark skinned Charles Manson. He even had a lady with him. Baller.
Anyways, he slept in a little shelter he made for himself built onto this scrub brush tree. The only tree around. Kern county apparently had beef with this esteemed local, so they came and cut his tree down. No mas tree. Dead. Just cut the only tree for hundreds of yards in any direction down. Screw nature, but especially screw humans.
Anyways, a few days later, a storage lot for mobile homes that were unoccupied, unleveled, etc, but ready to move caught on fire. Every ever loving ancient pre 1977 mobile home burned down. It was quite the sight.
So a bit later, im talking with the neighbors in my trailer park, I forgot his name, but I crashed his party once lol, he gave me many Modelo, it was great fun. He had a mint green 73 Monte Carlo, I had a bitchin 74 in antique white. We was compared!
I digress, again lol. My neighbor gave me a juicy rumor about the trailer lot fire. He said, people were saying that Charlie's understudy had torches the bitch, to get back at the county cutting his tree down.
Ok thats my story. Cali is whack but it makes for good trailer park stories.
I live in NorCal just like CHH, this is a local pride comment thread 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And I'm not dealing with my house burning down by trying to rebuild the exact same house in an exactly as flammable way. Which is what Bass and Newsom are promoting.
I filled out the survey but it really needs a comment box. I gave answers to some questions but if I could write in a box I'd be able to caveat them (and believe me they need caveats!)
For example, I could see myself dating a divorcée but circumstances would have to be *just right*. It realistically probably wouldn't happen, but it *could* so that gets a 'yes' when it'd probably be a 'no' more generally.
There were a few other questions in the survey where I wouldve loved to add context to my answer. Interested in seeing the eventual article on the results!
First. How did you end up in my feed, lefty? Second. Why do “liberals” (sarc) always defend their own self immolation? You people - yes, I said YOU PEOPLE - destroy everything in your path, then shift blame and gloat about it. You think fires “just happen”? You think nothing could have proactively been done to mitigate the chances of a complete and utter mass conflagration such as this? Santa Ana winds surprised you again this year?? Karen Bass deserves a defense?? Newsom did his primary job looking out for the highest taxed people in the country in the worst-run state of the Union?Are you unaware that water 💦 kills fire 🔥? And that maybe human lives take precedence over bait fish? That slavishly fellating the “Greenies” (yuk yuk) is smart? That dry brush will ignite? That LA is mostly arid due to POOR LAND MANAGEMENT, over development and feckless psychopathic leadership by a vain, effete MORON that flushes 95% of rain water into the Ocean- has nothing to do with it? Pathetic.
This is cute a different take with just a smidgen maybe of possibility. Like Trump and Obama really what will it take for the “masses’ to realize we are simply commodities to Power. And Timothee Chalamet such a doll he could be a real life Cannibal and I would probably invite him over for tea!!
Is this the first time I disagree with you? Might be. But Tom Holland was the HOTTEST in that perfomance. Something about his confidence and ability as a dancer had me ....
My favorite part of the “jerking off on the subway tweet” is that the guy’s avatar is James Baldwin, who’s surely rolling in his grave by association.
I'm not quite getting that someone can be so destitute that the only "private" place they can find to jerkoff is on a subway.
One would certainly find it a bit more defensible if it was a homeless guy jerking it in a deserted alley behind an auto shop or something, rather than the thing that exists precisely to have multiple people on it at once.
I'm old and it's very possible I've misunderstood what "down bad" means? Because it's, uh, not the term I would use to describe the LA fires
My understanding is that "Down Bad" is a reference to a Taylor Swift song about reeling from a breakup. Your whole neighborhood being destroyed by a fire seems worse, but then I've been told breakups are sometimes as hopeless.

So is Israel.
I think that's US aid
🥱
Trump commenting on horrific fires and not Tom/Zendaya makes me feel as if I'm living in a fallen age. The light of the world has vanished
Tom and Zendaya are too ‘ethnic’ for orange fattycakes.
He’s still fixated on Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and why they can’t work it out after all this time!

These were chaparral fires, not forest fires, although I can't tell you what the difference is except that there is one.
Chaparral is an oil based brush and when heated is known to explode. Not a pine tree but it has its own characteristics and burns the shit out of the neighborhoods just the same
the short answer is chaparral doesn't have trees, just bushes and grass. The land is more at risk for landslides now because there aren't many roots left.
... and the 4-footed animals who were living there.
The world is so unhinged.
Much love to those in smoldering LA! Hope you kick out the bums who are masquerading as your leaders.
CA politicians are doing exactly what the people who live there want, so it's very democratic. Unfortunately, the things they want are stupid.
Did you type that out from your single or doublewide and in what red state is your trailer bro?

Twitter was more fun with leftist crazies than rightist racists

My first many such takes since uninstalling twitter!
Please remove me from your mailing list. Thank you

The interwebs are always looking for an opportunity to abuse the phrase «to pull out».
I think he meant Mother Pence.
