had a very annoying experience today. the law in the state of california is that when outdoors, you need to wear a mask when you are NOT ABLE TO MAINTAIN 6 FEET OF SOCIAL DISTANCE. if you see your neighbor outside minding their own business, more than 6 feet away from any other people, decide to be a "karen" and tell them to wear a mask, and then proceed to film them when they don't, not only are you ignorant of the laws/rules of your state, but you're the entitled asshole, not me. don't act like a victim when you're met with hostility.
i swear, these dumbasses take it upon themselves to go above and beyond what's being forced upon us just to seem somehow morally superior. FUCK OFF.
sorry, rant over. i know the good folks here aren't these types of people.
thanks man!
yeah i think CA is a lost cause unless something big happens. there's also a sizable japanese population in torrance, and a large chunk of it is red. some people like lin wood claim that we actually flipped red for this election and that the dominion machines kept it blue, but i have my doubts about that. i'm moving outta here in the next few months anyways though, just too expensive for a sub-par quality of life.
i don't think i'll be talking to too many people in academia for that exact reason, but great idea about talking to disgruntled corporate asians. it's hard to really find anyone in academia that is willing to go against the lib narrative for fear of being canceled.
either way thanks for the feedback and ideas, i appreciate it.
