Repple (she/her)

Some old Slashdot vet not only imagined a Beowulf cluster of those, but actually went out and did it. Respect.

N64 games were $70 in the 90s. We’re still way below that with inflation

Stargate. Had a long run with good viewership and multiple series, but has had very little cultural impact compared to trek/wars. Sg1 can stand up to any trek series

Malie city, as it’s based off where I live. I play Pokemon go in Liliuokalani park (the real life malie gardens) all the time.

While that is the best fit for the characteristics, it can’t be the correct answer. The question asked for a disorder and therefore any non-disorder answer is disqualified.

I don’t doubt that there was a kernel of truth to the jealousy aspect of your original comment, wanting to live there but not being able to afford it seems likely for some as CA has a lot going for it. But then you called people who dislike it uncultured, and even fat shamed them. I would say that went too far, and that’s the attitude I was responding to. The attitude in this comment is civil and one I can have an actual conversation about the pros and cons of California with.

Yes, this is essentially what I mean about the difference between science and california’s knowledge. The warning labels are directed at humans using the products, so one would hope that the warnings would be for things that would have some reasonable chance of causing cancer to humans using the product but that’s usually not true.

Yeah, I don’t think anything I said would be a good reason to move away, but then again, CA is probably one of the top 5ish states I would live in.

I don’t dislike California. In my other comment I said I think it’s an okay place. I only provided negative statements because that’s what OP asked for. CA has a lot going for it. It’s a beautiful state, home of Silicon Valley, etc.

And I think the attitude in your original comment speaks for itself.

I would say the attitude shown in this comment is a more likely reason than the content of this comment.

I think California is an okay place, but there are several things that annoy me about it, and here are some:

The houseless problem seems extremely poorly managed. I lived in NYC for six years and have visited California a few times. From my experiences, both SF and LA appear to have much larger populations living outdoors (I checked and this is true, 75% of LA’s population vs 6% in NYC, and the cities are comparable in both population and houseless population). Additionally, I’ve had more issues interacting with houseless people in CA than in NYC despite having lived in Manhattan many times longer than I’ve spent in CA. My guess is this is due to worse services/mental health services in CA. I would frequently buy food or coffee for houseless individuals in NYC and never had an issue. I once gave a couple of dollars to someone CA for bus money. They yelled at me because they needed a couple more for the bus. Another time I was followed for several blocks.

California as a state and population seems to be at least as much bluster as action. I don’t want to detract from some real actions, like car electrification requirements, but for example, prop 65, the “known to the state of California to cause cancer” labels. A) California seems to “know” many things that science does not. B) no one pays any attention to these labels, but they sure cost a lot to produce C) if anything, this will cause people to ignore future warnings for real things or even current ones like on cigarettes.

As a longtime resident of Hawaii, this one just annoys me. California claimed it was the first state to plastic bags. This is false; As of May 11, 2014, they were banned across Hawaii. https://www.surfrider.org/news/hawaii-becomes-the-first-state-in-the-u.s.-to-ban-plastic-bags. This did not stop California from claiming the victory when a law was signed later that year that didn’t go into effect until July 2015. https://www.ca.gov/archive/gov39/2014/09/30/news18742/index.html. California doesn’t just not know what causes cancer, they don’t know how to use google despite it being from their state. I suppose you could argue semantically that Hawaii’s ban was not statewide, as it was technically four bans, one in each of the counties, but that’s splitting hairs.

I’m a simple woman. I see Blacktron, I upvote. My favorite (specifically II, but the original is great, too)

Edit: I was hoping this comment would work without explanation, but the downvotes suggest that was wrong. It translates to “power to turn trash into trees!” Which was the ability of the titular character in Law of Ueki, an anime/manga full of these ridiculous powers.

As much I love Captain Marvel, Iman’s Ms Marvel is just so perfect. I can’t wait to see her on the big screen.

Distant origins is such a great choice. I don’t purposefully go back to it, but adore it every time I watch it.

As far as I’m concerned owning an iron chariot is the ultimate loophole, god is powerless against it. Maybe the clergy have figured out the same thing. https://biblehub.com/judges/1-19.htm
