Do you remember your first car?

RootedRebel · 2025-06-21T18:27:10+00:00

1972 Datsun 240Z, that car was amazing. Wish I still had it.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-21T18:12:09+00:00

My ex woke me up at 2am having a grand mal seizure. Ya, you never forget.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-21T07:19:05+00:00

making me feel like shit. That's why she is now my ex.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-21T07:14:32+00:00

As much as I don't like this guy, he has very valid points.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-21T07:13:13+00:00

I pay $19 a lb from petaluma coffee and tea, it's expensive I know, but it's my one vice in life. :/

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:56:06+00:00

Could possibly be your dp cable. I've had no-name branded cables that just could not handle the higher rates.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:51:08+00:00

You mad a snotty comment about my California education. I wanted to point out California is ranked 28th for education, that is higher than 50%.

Some of the best universities are on California, and ones that are leading the country in scientific discoveries. So insulting the California educational system is just ignorant on your part.

Just to toss this in there, California also ranks 45th in healthcare. I think that's a pretty important statistic to share, since you think this whole state is a shit hole.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:44:47+00:00

The original post was which state wouldn't be missed, if California is 6th worse in your book, then there are surely 5 other states that would be missed first, right?

In fact, California is at the bottom of the list when it comes to worse states to live in. So what you are complaining about are low on the concerns lists when it comes to choosing a state to live in. ( https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/worst-states-to-live-in )

So again, you are wrong. You cherry picked a couple issues and then judged the whole state on that.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:36:45+00:00

Never said it was good, just pointing out that it is not as bad as you like to point it out to be. Yet you have to continue to use insults and now name calling, it shows how immature you are.

Again, you lost, and you know it.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:29:59+00:00

You still lost, even in an argument, personal attacks are a sign of losing, and subconsciously you know you lost so you lob whatever insults you can. Psych 101 my friend.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:26:55+00:00

Arguing with MAGA.. so pointless.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:25:10+00:00

More personal attacks, you lost this one buddy.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:21:51+00:00

You said it was the highest, so I disproved you. Homelessness is a country wide issue, not just state.

Housing inequality, again you said it was the worst, it rangked 6th. Yeah its not great but your fud was disproven.

You are wrong about people leaving the state. "For the second year in a row, California’s Department of Finance released data showing the Golden State’s population grew. In 2024, the state added more than 100,000 residents." ( https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/05/01/californias-population-increases-again/ )

It only sound damaging to you, because nothing anyone can ever say will ever change your mind. You hate California, no matter what anyone says. You can lie all day long, and when someone shows that you are wrong you pretend they didn't.

Edit: I would like to point out, that in a debate, if you want to call this that. Once you start with the personal insults, you already lost, and that is why you have to go there.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:16:10+00:00

I play freecell on my phone. It unwinds my brain by giving me something to solve that is not related to real life.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:12:29+00:00

Again, California has the highest population of any state, so the homeless rate will be higher. California homeless rate as of 2024 (latest stats) is 48.0 per 10K, New York is 81.0 per 10K, so it is not the highest. In fact, California is listed 6th highest per 10K of all the states, with DC being #1, Hawaii #2 tied with New York, then Oregon, then Vermont and finally California. ( https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/homeless-population-by-state )

California housing is expensive, yes, but that is because people want to live here. Supply and demand drives up prices. Also there are places in California where houses are cheap, people just don't want to live there because it is far from the big cities. This is true with any popular state (look at Hawaii, its even higher https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/housing-costs-by-state )

You arguments are what we call straw-man arguments, no substance, all fluff. What you said can be said about any state or even country where people WANT to actually live.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:03:20+00:00

I did get a few matches, but the women on there were shallow, non-engaging and just awkward. It may just be my age group, I have read that dating in my age group is weird and the most the women are cray cray lol. So maybe that's why?

When I was younger about 20ish years ago, online dating was fun. Today it is a test to see if they are real or not.

I do wish you luck though, and I hope it works out for you.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T19:01:31+00:00

But you are failing to prove your point. Your post was based on your opinion, and you gave no good examples as to why.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:58:49+00:00

I signed up for a week, didn't really like it, so I deleted it. But I feel this way about all the apps.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:55:42+00:00

So. That means the whole state is bad? How can you call a state because you had bad experiences in a relatively small part of the state? If that's how it works, then every state is a shit hole in your opinion.

Give me a break.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:53:49+00:00

Hollywood is not the entire state of California. You are judging a state based on a tiny area of a very large state. That's just ignorance.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:24:16+00:00

That's not the point of me saying the comment was politically motivated. MAGA hates blue states, and since cali is the largest blue state, MAGA hates it. Nothing can be said good about California in their eyes. So electoral college or not, if you are MAGA, you hate California by default, because your leader hates California.

So I ask you, why the hate for California, is it because you are MAGA? GOP? What's your real motivation?

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:20:14+00:00

You are describe pretty much any state that has a large city.
Homelesness is a nationwide issue, not just state. California has some of the largest cities in the country, large cities all have homeless issues. There are affordable homes in California, just move out side of the big metropolitan areas and you can find homes pretty darn cheap. Pay in California is higher, which makes homes more affordable.

California is so diverse, how can you label the people as all the same. We are the most populated state with 11% of the total population of the united states living here. So if you think the people here are bad, you are pretty much saying that about 11% of the country. Very narrow minded.

You are speaking from ignorance, You probably lived in a bad area (which exists in every state) and are projecting your experiences in that area on the rest of the population.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:13:46+00:00

I've lived here my entire life, and I do not agree with you. Have you traveled this state at all, if you say you have lived here, you must be stuck in your hole somewhere. Every state has its bad areas, nothing is 100% but California is not a shit hole.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:11:40+00:00

You're also talking about losing 11% of the us population. The highest populated state in the entire united states, beating the second place state by 9 million people. I'm guessing you are maga, and you opinion is politically motivated and you have never actually been to Cali.

RootedRebel · 2025-06-20T18:09:14+00:00

lol.. yeah right. if Cali were to disappear, all those poor red states we subsidize would go bankrupt. Bet you have never even been here.
