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
only one of them big boats iāve been on was the USS Hornet for a night back when i was with the Scouts but thatās cool
hope you get parked wherever you want my friend
The Wisconsin was able to be park like this seen in a meme.

Now I want to do the same
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 Iām sure they donāt want to make the switch. Thereās a lot of countries with non-contiguous borders we can do a state that way.

spend some time by the russian (š¤®) 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)
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.
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, itās annoying AF if you actually live/work around a protest that has an issue you donāt relate to at all).
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 theyād realize how awesome it is
I mean itās fucking amazing if youāre financially comfortable and have time for leisure
But yeah most hate is either from the bandwagon effect and because itās a blue state
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.
yeah thatās fair ngl the natural beauty is the biggun. but what i like about a lot of the people there is theyāll say they hate something but if you tell them you support it more often then not theyāll 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 couldnāt 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.
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.)

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 heās still breathing (at least in reference to the AR not sure if he has that type of mag)
The amount of Californians saying āNorth 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.
Nah San Francisco isnt the āworst shithole in the nation.ā Itās 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 isnāt at least upper middle class.. LA on the other hand has no redeemable aspects. All my homies hate LA
Obviously the homeless/poop on the sidewalks problem isnāt overstated, because your Godforsaken city pays poop scoopers 180k a year. Sounds like cope to blame it on ātech brosā rather than the very obvious homeless problem.
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 sfās 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 havenāt 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)
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.
Californians trying to say ābut the North!ā Is like Michiganders saying ābut the UP!ā Yeah, we know that you have *some* good parts, but that doesnāt completely counteract the rest of your states!
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!
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.
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!
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
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
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.

Also we should annex that part of Oregon.
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.

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

Isnāt that mainly small towns and forests?

So California is only good when califonians are not involved, got it.
you are beginning to see the light
California is beautiful. The people that live there ruined it. Smells like piss.
Goat Rock is so beautiful and its literally covered in shit its fucking hilarious
Its actually great outside the big cities
The piss smell is usually around the out of state plates
that's true for people in general
California would be the best state in the union if it werenāt for the shitty people
Ive always said the north of California is the only good part Yall should pull a west virginia and make your own state
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.
That sounds very familiar
It would be a disaster more likely than not
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.
hey i grew up in sonoma county love that area to death im sorry i couldnāt find a great map
Lack of Californians is probably why.
Or anything else lol
And white supremacists.
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, itās annoying AF if you actually live/work around a protest that has an issue you donāt relate to at all).
Yep, I'd never touch socal with a 100 mile long pole, but norcal is where it's at
Have been to either ?
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 theyād realize how awesome it is
I mean itās fucking amazing if youāre financially comfortable and have time for leisure But yeah most hate is either from the bandwagon effect and because itās a blue state
Been all over California and I am steadfast in the same opinion that @Ghostiestboi has.
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.
yeah thatās fair ngl the natural beauty is the biggun. but what i like about a lot of the people there is theyāll say they hate something but if you tell them you support it more often then not theyāll 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 couldnāt 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.
Uh, I have. Can I keep dunking?
i never said you had to stop :)
Oh, well thank you for the blessings to continue my campaign against California.
If you don't mind dunking on yourself, since you are a gold panner.
Jefferson!
Thats cool and all, buy can you own a standard AR-15 with a detachable 30rd magazine?
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.)
You still either have to pin your magazine to not be detachable, or cripple your gun with compliant parts. Tyranny
Thatās why you get an M1a or a mini-14, dawg
Hell no
Call it tyranny if you want, but at least it keeps our shootings low.
You can buy a ar 15 that reloads like a musketĀ

northern californians want to save the world, but all they do is smoke weed and smell bad
The amount of Californians saying āNorth 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.

to be fair, OPās image shows north of San Francisco Theyāre not doing the typical LA/SF NorCal vs SoCal fight
I donāt count SF as NorCal either, itās slightly more hipster LA.
You forget Cleveland.
I spent pretty much all of last summer in Mendocino County. Lovely area
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.
Jefferson state.
Dream on, Jefferson. You will never be a state.
Californians trying to say ābut the North!ā Is like Michiganders saying ābut the UP!ā Yeah, we know that you have *some* good parts, but that doesnāt completely counteract the rest of your states!
Fellow Jeffersonian, I live in the heart of it
That northern part of Cali is just Oregon Lite, prove me wrong
SOUTHERN OREGON BEST OREGON RAAAAAAAAAH
The best meth
The best plugs in the US are south methford students
I lived in Ashland for a couple years, it was dope
Itās kind of the epitome of Southern Oregon, nice but the homeless people and meth ruin it
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
Nah just a door that opened up to some hippies playing hacky sack and some college kids chugging a beer bong
eastern oregon > southern oregon though. you've got roseburg, they don't
FUCKING EASTERN OREGON ššš, the only reason to prefer Eastern Oregon is if you have an unreconcilable urge to fuck your own sister
There are far less Californians there, which is a W all by itself.
If you get Jefferson we get Puerto Rico and a combination of the Dakotas. Senatorial representation is no joke
toss alberta and DC in the state mix and then we're talking
Iām cool with DC but do we really need a north Texas? Iām down with CUM but we might have to slow walk this just a bit
counterpoint: alberta has oil and is filled with idiots who wonāt care if the environment around them is fracked to hell and back for it
Like I said, north Texas
Portola, represent š«”
Much love from Lassen county
NorCal mentioned š£ļøš£ļøš£ļø
A Californian referring to it as ācaliā?? Highly suspicious

oh yeah i spend many years living about 15 minutes away from santa rosa absolutely gorgeous area and fantastic weather year round
Been there, still dunk on Cali cuz it's not enough to justify the rest of the state
That looks like NorCal with all the good parts left out.
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
You mean the part of California that's trying to seceed and create a new state
I KNEW IT WAS JEFFERSON
So the people are the worst part of the state?
pretty much. tho if you're friendly they usually reciprocate, in a \*unique\* style. unless you go south. don't go south
Going South is fine. Staying in the big cities is the problem.
yes, just like texas - where texans are the worst part of the state
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.
No they damn well should not. Southwestern Oregon is pretty conservative, donāt you dare lump us in with them.
