I'm liking the rain here in OC. It's comfy.

>>71436801
L.A. reporting. Don't care about the drought. Make it stop raining. It's been like living in Seattle since new year.

Redpill me on northern Cali.

>>71439093
it sucks here, everything is expensive and the people manage to be both assholes and pussies at the same time. nice weather though

>>71439358
But is it better than southern california? I'm not keen on living near LA, and i hear most of central cali is a shithole filled with metheads.

Uh, yeah, ho, this the finale
My pep talk turn into a pep rally
Say she from the hood, but she live inside in the valley, now
Vaca'd in Atlanta, then she goin' back to Cali, mmm
Got your girl on my line, world on my line
The irony, I fuck 'em at the same damn time
She eyein' me like a nigga don't exist
Girl, I know you want this dick
Girl, I'm Kendrick Lamar
A.K.A. Benz is to me just a car
That mean your friends-es need be up to par
See, my standards are pampered by threesomes tomorrow
Mmm, kill 'em all, dead bodies in the hallway
Don't get involved, listen what the crystal ball say
Halle Berry, hallelujah
Holla back, I'll do ya; beast

>>71439398
the methheads are mostly in bakersfield, salinas, and other places far inland. the coast is safe.

>>71439398
maybe. depends where you are, sf is hipster and stupid expensive, south bay is boring and full of tech assholes and still stupid expensive, east bay is cheaper but only a little and full of dumb hippies. sacramento is supposed to be boring and will be underwater soon. why do you want to live in cali anyway?

>>71439398
as somebody who lives in central california on the coast, i prefer northern california solely because it's not a concrete jungle in the middle of the desert. though, if you don't mind the climate/environment, you might like it more down there.

what are your preferences people-wise, climate-wise, job opportunity-wise, and so on?

>>71439675
Got family who live out there, mostly in Monterey but in other parts as well, figured i'd check Cali out if i ever got job opportunities over there.

Ok Californians of /int/. Just because we've had some rain doesn't mean were in any way sustainable and we are still hemorrhaging groundwater supplies. So I ask you.

What have you done lately to conserve water?

Far Northern Californians and Sierra Nevadans are excused.

Taking shorter showers, drinking less water, and eating dry food. I think I'm going to die. Will look natty, though.

>>71439076
It's a fad. Like all fads, it will fade and become unpopular and probably hated in the future. Just like the Beegees.

>>71439675
why will sacramento be under water???

>>71440345
My uni charges me out the ass for on campus room and board so I wake up at 7 am just to turn on the showers until someone realizes there's no one in there so I get my money's worth out of this fucking place.

Californians have to conserve water

San Jose here. It's bad lads, don't know how long I'll last. Been raining hard for 5 days, with the wind reaching speeds of up to 25mph. It's making scary noises that keep me up at night. There was a power outage for 5 HOURS on Friday. I though I was going to die. I miss the sun. If I don't make it, please tell San Francisco that I hope it gets nuked.

Well, it does cost a lot to live here. You need to be smart to earn enough money to live here and, frankly, my friends weren't very smart.

I had a nice vacation at a casino up there with the senpai once. Come on in, famalam.

How do Californians feel about John Steinbeck?

>>71445469
He represents an era of California we'll never really have again. It makes me very sad, reading him. Other times he annoys me because he is so heavy-handed with the morals.

I was surprised to learn how popular he is in schools outside of California. Some British friends told me they read him for their GCSEs. I've personally used his books for tutoring foreign children in English.

Personally I prefer Hemingway as far as that generation goes. There are better writers from California. Personally, I get more of a kick out of Bukowski but obviously there are more technically accomplished writers from here.

>>71443484
gonna rain towards the end of the weekend again

hope you're out by then

Anyone ever feel kind of trapped here?

Fellow whites tend to be either surfer bros or valley girls. Asians are boring. Mexicans are crude and uneducated. Blacks are, well, let's not even bother.

California, I love living here, but the people depress me.

>>71446342
i really really hope you don't live in the valley..

>>71446458
Don't worry he's not even Californian. He probably only knows what hes been fed in pop culture.

Inland Empire (Moreno Valley) reporting in.

BTW. Is anybody else in this thread a little tired of everybody in the other states blaming Californians for everything under the sun, including things that are their own damned fault?

Like, Portland Oregon put strict height limits on their buildings which kneecapped commercial and housing development. And now that no Portlander can buy a house they are blaming it on some deluge of rich Californians coming in at night and snatching their houses like property goblins.

Rancho Cordova here. Storm's kinda comfy weather over here. Gives me an excuse to cover up in a blanket and play some JRPGs cozily while in bed. Shit's great.

Anyone know any good spots to pick up /vr/ shit in the area? Dimple Records on Sunrise is hit and miss and kinda overpriced.

>>71446458
I live in San Diego.

>>71448113
I'm actually the fifth generation to live here... but you're right, I'm not even Californian considering everyone here is from somewhere else. They're more entitled to that than me by their majority. *cries*

No idea how that relates but whatever. I love the rain, the last couple of months have been great, it being so rare makes it extra sweet.

>>71449066
Agreed, I miss normal winters like this. The rain cleans away the scum makes everything smell nice for a change.

I enjoy it immensely as well. Friday wasn't even that bad. SoCal is full of pussies coddled by constant warm and dry weather, no one even bothers to properly irrigate the freeways leading to shitty floods that occur from small drizzles, and everyone goes crazy when they see rain. 60 degrees is cold, you say? Gimme a fucking break

Anyone been to the Redwood Forest? I want to go there some day.

>>71449980
the wind storm a few years back was way more eventful and fun

>>71449980
>SoCal is full of pussies coddled by constant warm and dry weather
It used to rain like this every winter, and would be considered normal amount not even a bad flood.

>>71449980
>SoCal is full of pussies coddled by constant warm and dry weather,
Our state as a whole has gotten used to not really having a winter to speak of; this is the first time we've had an honest-to-god rainy season in a good while, as opposed to the occasional drizzle or nothing at all. Saying that the weather "coddles" them is a bit unfair; you can't really blame a natural phenomenon for the way it treats people as if it were an individual with free will.

TL;DR many fellow Californians have gotten used to rainlessness, so yes, people will "go crazy" when they see rain.

True. Tapatío has such a one-dimensional flavor. It's just spicy, nothing else. It'll do in a pinch, but it's not my first choice.
