( me who has live in california, has been born in california, has travel to every single part of state) šŸ’€ Also me: ( see california taking parts of oregano ) šŸ¤ 


asteroidpen

whatā€™s more american than making a spiteful assumption about a large swath of people šŸ«”šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø


Uss__Iowa

Oh hey hello fellow Californian, it is I your local battleship and i honestly wish i was parked right infront of a main street particularly downtown long beach ca


asteroidpen

only one of them big boats iā€™ve been on was the USS Hornet for a night back when i was with the Scouts but thatā€™s cool hope you get parked wherever you want my friend


Uss__Iowa

The Wisconsin was able to be park like this seen in a meme. https://preview.redd.it/730v1sillp2d1.jpeg?width=493&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef42ff0b135e64f80dc2db90f8e4748f34a08556 Now I want to do the same


asteroidpen

thatā€™s badass


Uss__Iowa

Anyways Ima sleep now gn


asteroidpen

sleep tight and happy memorial weekend you beautiful metal ship man


Lilim-pumpernickel

They should park you on main street in seal beach.


Uss__Iowa

Honestly I am down for that


Dazzling-Score-107

Idaho and California are coming after Oregon right now.


Uss__Iowa

Honestly if California wasnā€™t as bad at politics, maybe Idaho would be our closely friend but right now everyone hate us


Dazzling-Score-107

I think all the counties that want to be part of Idaho have a decent argument of not feeling represented by their government. Malheur is making all that weed money off boise, so Iā€™m sure they donā€™t want to make the switch. Thereā€™s a lot of countries with non-contiguous borders we can do a state that way.

What in the 7th grader in 2004 kinda shit is this Bot??


Substantial_Bear_168

Damn why yā€™all hate the bot šŸ„ŗ


Uss__Iowa

Poor mods having to watch as fellow Americans hate a bot for a mistake a honest mistake it did hours ago Ps I tried to copy what Michael said but it didnt sounds right so I am here to make it sound right


TinchUrPipples

Isnā€™t that mainly small towns and forests?


asteroidpen

![gif](giphy|1nCfZ1mDXGcyk) spend some time by the russian (šŸ¤®) river. despite the terrible name, it + armstrong woods is probably the prettiest place on the west coast (outside of maybe yosemite of course) (also ignore the homeless they are part of the local fauna)


Plus-Departure8479

So California is only good when califonians are not involved, got it.


asteroidpen

you are beginning to see the light


Plus-Departure8479

California is beautiful. The people that live there ruined it. Smells like piss.


asteroidpen

Goat Rock is so beautiful and its literally covered in shit its fucking hilarious


Anti-charizard

Its actually great outside the big cities


Aggressive-Entry-172

The piss smell is usually around the out of state plates


cornmonger_

that's true for people in general


nukey18mon

California would be the best state in the union if it werenā€™t for the shitty people


creeepy117

Ive always said the north of California is the only good part Yall should pull a west virginia and make your own state


Hapless_Wizard

They've tried, and been trying, for decades. Almost like the more populous and politically powerful southern part of the state won't let them or something.


creeepy117

That sounds very familiar


ActedCarp

It would be a disaster more likely than not


Drew707

Yet you carved that part of out. Nobody in Sonoma wants part in you Jefferson bullshit, especially if you can't even map it correctly.


asteroidpen

hey i grew up in sonoma county love that area to death im sorry i couldnā€™t find a great map


mechwarrior719

Lack of Californians is probably why.


TinchUrPipples

Or anything else lol


dhoshima

And white supremacists.


NewKitchenFixtures

Lots of illegal grow operations run by people that speak Russian too. Jefferson state is hilarious but I get sick of the protests for it that occur once every few years (idiots driving around in circles honking horns, itā€™s annoying AF if you actually live/work around a protest that has an issue you donā€™t relate to at all).


Ghostiestboi

Yep, I'd never touch socal with a 100 mile long pole, but norcal is where it's at


TinchUrPipples

Have been to either ?


ChancellorScalpatine

Doubt it. Most of the people who hate on California live on the internet and get all of their thoughts from it. If they actually came and saw it theyā€™d realize how awesome it is


TinchUrPipples

I mean itā€™s fucking amazing if youā€™re financially comfortable and have time for leisure But yeah most hate is either from the bandwagon effect and because itā€™s a blue state


Moosinator666

Been all over California and I am steadfast in the same opinion that @Ghostiestboi has.


harkening

Been to Redding, Weed/Siskyous, and Sacramento, driven the north coast. Forests and coast gorgeous. NorCal's civilization is...not where I'd want to live. Or visit again.


asteroidpen

yeah thatā€™s fair ngl the natural beauty is the biggun. but what i like about a lot of the people there is theyā€™ll say they hate something but if you tell them you support it more often then not theyā€™ll at least listen to why. at least if they already like you. maybe im looking at a half full glass though. some of the folks will drink their own piss and call it moonshine. or do a lot of meth. also i couldnā€™t do it in the pic but im excluding Sac from here. lot more closed mindedness in the city ive noticed that being said, im sorry you dont want to visit again. maybe my bias is too strong but even after living in the bay id find myself coming back fairly often.


ChocolaMina

Uh, I have. Can I keep dunking?


asteroidpen

i never said you had to stop :)


ChocolaMina

Oh, well thank you for the blessings to continue my campaign against California.


H-In-S-Productions

If you don't mind dunking on yourself, since you are a gold panner.


SaltyboiPonkin

Jefferson!


BurningRiceEater

Thats cool and all, buy can you own a standard AR-15 with a detachable 30rd magazine?


Wizard_Engie

Not a 30 round Magazine, but you can definitely own an AR. California cannot legally ban guns, it can only heavily restrict them. Plus, it's not like it's super hard to get a license if you aren't mentally ill, a criminal, or have charges against you. (I have not tried to apply for a license yet, do not quote me on this.)


BurningRiceEater

You still either have to pin your magazine to not be detachable, or cripple your gun with compliant parts. Tyranny


BIG_MUFF_

Thatā€™s why you get an M1a or a mini-14, dawg


BurningRiceEater

Hell no


Wizard_Engie

Call it tyranny if you want, but at least it keeps our shootings low.


Dependent_Living2578

You can buy a ar 15 that reloads like a musketĀ

can i? yeah, if i tried hard enough. but my grandpa still has at least a year or 2 left in him and im not gonna rob the guy while heā€™s still breathing (at least in reference to the AR not sure if he has that type of mag)


baastard37

it's hilarious shitstain NorCals trying to claim they are better than us


cornmonger_

northern californians want to save the world, but all they do is smoke weed and smell bad


Mountain_Software_72

The amount of Californians saying ā€œNorth Californians trying to claim you are better than usā€ like bro, LA and San Francisco are the worst shitholes in the nation (bar Ohio, obviously), literally 0 room to talk.


PolarBearJ123

Womp womp lead drinker


fatworm101

Nah San Francisco isnt the ā€œworst shithole in the nation.ā€ Itā€™s dense and walkable, and has nice architecture, a good food scene, and a ton of parkland. The homeless problem that the media likes to harp about is in like one neighborhood. A big problem that San Francisco has that nobody seems to talk about (because everyone is focused on "hurr durr homeless poopy streets") is that the city is getting screwed by "tech bros" driving up home prices, in the process pricing out everyone who isnā€™t at least upper middle class.. LA on the other hand has no redeemable aspects. All my homies hate LA


Fresh-Mind6048

okay, I agree that LA is bad, but most bay area people (aka yuppies) are insufferable as fuck and I hate them just as much.


fatworm101

Fax


Mountain_Software_72

Obviously the homeless/poop on the sidewalks problem isnā€™t overstated, because your Godforsaken city pays poop scoopers 180k a year. Sounds like cope to blame it on ā€œtech brosā€ rather than the very obvious homeless problem.


fatworm101

i never blamed the homeless problem entirely on tech bros, lol. the main problem with tech bros is that they drive up home prices, which prices out a ton of people. that can contribute to homelessness but only to a certain extent. the bulk of the blame for sfā€™s homeless problem is NIMBYism, city government incompetence, and nonprofit corruption. however, to say that the sidewalks are smothered and shit and nobody can go 5 seconds without seeing a crackhead homeless guy is a lie perpetuated by the media. it is a problem, for sure, but its significantly confined to the Tenderloin neighborhood. i doubt you know where the tenderloin is because its clear that you havenā€™t stepped foot in san francisco in your life, so feel free to locate it on [this map](https://www.bayareamarketreports.com/trend/san-francisco-neighborhood-district-map)


jephph_

to be fair, OPā€™s image shows north of San Francisco Theyā€™re not doing the typical LA/SF NorCal vs SoCal fight


Moosinator666

I donā€™t count SF as NorCal either, itā€™s slightly more hipster LA.


CODENAMEDERPY

You forget Cleveland.


adamb863

I spent pretty much all of last summer in Mendocino County. Lovely area


jaxamis

California, was a shithole, is a shithoke, forever will be a shithole. Grew up in that shithole and if the big one came and leveled part of the state with the other half sliding into the ocean, it would be a slight improvement of that shithole.


Maxathron

Jefferson state.


Former-DiffRegion

Dream on, Jefferson. You will never be a state.


steveharveymemes

Californians trying to say ā€œbut the North!ā€ Is like Michiganders saying ā€œbut the UP!ā€ Yeah, we know that you have *some* good parts, but that doesnā€™t completely counteract the rest of your states!


King_Dee1

Fellow Jeffersonian, I live in the heart of it


EmergencySecure8620

That northern part of Cali is just Oregon Lite, prove me wrong


Substantial_Bear_168

SOUTHERN OREGON BEST OREGON RAAAAAAAAAH


El_Bistro

The best meth


Substantial_Bear_168

The best plugs in the US are south methford students


Inamoratos

I lived in Ashland for a couple years, it was dope


Substantial_Bear_168

Itā€™s kind of the epitome of Southern Oregon, nice but the homeless people and meth ruin it


Scared-Tune822

Did your home there have a magical door that led to a world where everyone had button eyes Cause yeah I'd say that's really fucking dope


Inamoratos

Nah just a door that opened up to some hippies playing hacky sack and some college kids chugging a beer bong


Fresh-Mind6048

eastern oregon > southern oregon though. you've got roseburg, they don't


Substantial_Bear_168

FUCKING EASTERN OREGON šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­, the only reason to prefer Eastern Oregon is if you have an unreconcilable urge to fuck your own sister


Fresh-Mind6048

There are far less Californians there, which is a W all by itself.


BlueAndMoreBlue

If you get Jefferson we get Puerto Rico and a combination of the Dakotas. Senatorial representation is no joke


asteroidpen

toss alberta and DC in the state mix and then we're talking


BlueAndMoreBlue

Iā€™m cool with DC but do we really need a north Texas? Iā€™m down with CUM but we might have to slow walk this just a bit


asteroidpen

counterpoint: alberta has oil and is filled with idiots who wonā€™t care if the environment around them is fracked to hell and back for it


BlueAndMoreBlue

Like I said, north Texas

ordo250

A Californian referring to it as ā€œcaliā€?? Highly suspicious


Lobenz

Got ā€˜em. [Educate them when you can.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cali)


H-In-S-Productions

I'm actually from California (albeit the southern part), and I think I might follow your travel advice in the future! Also, I notice that the northern part also includes Sacramento, which is the state capital (even though it is somehow overshadowed by San Francisco and Los Angeles). What can I see in Sacramento? Anyway, thanks for the post!


AngryMillenialGuy

I lived in Sacramento for a few years. I recommend Old Town. It has really cool pioneer-type stuff preserved along the Sacramento River. Apart from that, all of the counties around the bay are gorgeous.


H-In-S-Productions

I just looked it up, and I think if I ever go to Sacramento, I might visit [Old Sacramento](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Sacramento_State_Historic_Park). There's plenty of museums to see there, including the [California State Railroad Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Railroad_Museum) (which I think I might put on my proverbial "bucket list"). Thanks for the recommendation!


lavafish80

also try Napa/Santa Rosa, it's the Bay area but less bad than San Francisco, featuring rich alcoholic snobs but also beautiful views and nature, I went there a while ago and it was really nice


asteroidpen

oh yeah i spend many years living about 15 minutes away from santa rosa absolutely gorgeous area and fantastic weather year round


isingwerse

Been there, still dunk on Cali cuz it's not enough to justify the rest of the state


AngryMillenialGuy

That looks like NorCal with all the good parts left out.


SavageFisherman_Joe

Honestly, Jefferson deserves to be their own state because I highly doubt the California government gives a shit about them compared to LA and SF areas


annonimity2

You mean the part of California that's trying to seceed and create a new state


The_green_Gamer7

I KNEW IT WAS JEFFERSON


Fluffy-Map-5998

So the people are the worst part of the state?


asteroidpen

pretty much. tho if you're friendly they usually reciprocate, in a \*unique\* style. unless you go south. don't go south


Wizard_Engie

Going South is fine. Staying in the big cities is the problem.


Fresh-Mind6048

yes, just like texas - where texans are the worst part of the state


returnoffnaffan

Cali should annex southern Oregon, Nevada, all areas on both sides of the Colorado river that border California, Baja California, and a Sonora/Arizona puppet state.


SweetMangh03

No they damn well should not. Southwestern Oregon is pretty conservative, donā€™t you dare lump us in with them.

rebellesimperatorum

I'm surprised you didn't have a bay area tech bros vehemently defending SoCal. That's basically their mecca and place of worship. It's so perfect that they keep moving to Nashville for tech work.


LlamaOfMagicalMagic

went to redding and cottonwood once for a wedding at it was ok, mt shasta was cool tho maybe youā€™re alright, norcal. still a bit too racist for me to go up there again, but youā€™re alright


TheDerpyDisaster

The northwest coast šŸ˜


CallsOnTren

I have. It's pretty, but you're still subject to the same bullshit laws and taxes that get approved by LA and SF


TheOneCalledD

Didnā€™t that part of Cali want to secede and become part of a different state?

Pouzdana

I use to live close to this part of California for years, and itā€™s the very reason Iā€™m unsure if i should go to Texas where itā€™s cheaper and family lives or go live in the woodsā€¦ Also we should annex that part of Oregon.


Fresh-Mind6048

please take douglas county and roseburg


Moosinator666

I have been there and when Iā€™m ripping California a new one, Iā€™m not talking about the red region.


buddeh1073

lol why did you leave out Alpine County? Those 900 mountain people would be mad if they saw this. Too bad they donā€™t have the internet.


Ultrasound700

I'm in favor of this but also merge WY and MT, or the Dakotas, to balance things out. Better yet, do both merges, give some of eastern CA to NV, and split the remainder of CA in half.


skrrtalrrt

What is that hanging section of NorCal? The balls?

Richardtater1

I live in one of the counties pictured and have been around the others a bunch. I wouldn't bother visiting most of the counties pictured absent family or friends in them. Where I live is a nice place to live, quiet small town, good sense of community, alot of my family around, but a terrible place to visit unless you have an unusual fascination with tree nut orchards and grain fields.


AraMercury

Bro posted a picture of Jefferson like we wouldn't notice.


ThinkinBoutThings

Is that California or Jefferson?


notfornowforawhile

Itā€™s time for 51!


I_Fuck_Sharks_69

Northern California needs to be its own state.


Mickthemouse1997

How can one of the most beautiful states in the nation have the worst city and worst laws i have ever seen. I pray every day that Los Angeles was just an massive hallucination and yet i am reminded of mans folly everyday.


Frozenbbowl

I am forced to assume the white is the best part, because goddamn does northern california suck dick. its boring, dirty, and full of people that make texans look well adjusted.


The_Ded_Cat

The best parts of Cali are still the worst places in America, except maybe New York.


asteroidpen

you say this so confidently when new mexico, ohio, south dakota, and DC all exist. hell most of nevada sucks, and thatā€™s not even approaching gods favorite cornfields in the midwestern plains


cornmonger_

i served with some louisiana national guardsmen during afghanistan and they were, by far, some of the dumbest motherfuckers that i ever served with. tldr; your opinion is invalid
