The Colorado River is in California, though? Obviously not all of it, but part of it.

A better version of this would use Zhang Taofeng, but no one would get it

The Nazis were/are part of the West so it's not destroyed just under new leadership

So we basically need to convince libs to build a kind of dual power via local government? That's pretty much what Lenin was saying in 1917, but it wasn't necessarily local vs national gov for them. I think it would work very similarly tho

Where does it come from? I'm pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?

Also if China wanted, they could just buy it from meta or whoever. And really, does the PRC have any control over TikTok's US data? Last I heard they had to give it all over to oracle or someone, but idk I can't pay attention to all this shit

I downloaded rednote and tried to upload a video today and couldn't get it to work. The first couple of tries the video was choppy and out of sync with the sound and then I couldn't pick a cover, etc. I'm hoping they are just being crushed by increased traffic because I'd really like a proper global platform

Edit: so I was able to post a video and it seems fine. I think the editor is buggy because the video was definitely fucked when I hit post, but it uploaded without the choppiness

Firefighters in areas with regular forest fires don't have "surplus" equipment

They definitely do? Surplus is more than just extra shit sitting in storage until you need it. You gotta maintain that equipment, which requires people, time, and money. If the equipment isn't maintained it would be just as useless as not having it at all. Obviously there is a line somewhere when it becomes too costly to maintain surplus equipment and it's better to get rid of it.

I'm not saying LAFD is run well or defending any of this shit, but to call people morons (kinda ableist btw) over this is silly and you're wrong anyway

I get paid to do this what do you mean?

I lose them, but I have this pop socket thing on my phone that looks like a record and spins

Can you imagine parents of an autistic child spending $800 to help them?
