It kinda looks like a body. I can't archive the video that everyone is sharing but you can see it here.

It looks pretty grim but I don't know. I'm only seeing sketchy blue checkmarks share it in what really smells like an engagement circle jerk.

I'm not from an area that has consistent (or large) fires so forgive me if this is retarded but if there is a large, uncontained fire visible from my backyard, I would not wait to be told to leave. I'm looking at these boundaries and evac borders and some of them are less than a mile from a literal inferno. Are californians just that arrogant to challenge nature? Do they not consider that once the smoke starts engulfing your house, it'll be near impossible to leave? I don't understand these people standing around their living rooms while embers hit their windows like they have a few minutes to spare.

It sounds like Californians are lackadaisical in regards to fire response, in terms of only waiting until evacuation orders come out to leave. Will Wright, the creator of The Sims and SimCity, mentioned about the lack of fire and police presence at the start of the Oakland Hills firestorm in 1991. He chose to promptly evacuate from the area, saving his and his family's lives.

If you live in LA, you were trying to be a celebrity. That’s the only reason people have moved there for like eighty years. It’s been a smog infused, riot prone shithole for longer than most of us have been alive. After the waves of shit trying to be movie stars slowed, people started moving there to be YouTubers or tiktokers.

L.A. is a magnet for delusional idiots and trash. So are other places like Las Vegas but at least it has gambling.

very little, because of prop 13. if you were a homeowner before the 1970s you pay like $1000 on a 5 million dollar property. i knew a guy in SF who inherited a million dollar hovel and his property taxes were like $200 a year

this fixed tax break also carries through intergenerationally as long as the property stays in the family, creating a landed aristocracy

People are astonished when I tell them about prop13 and its consequences.

Vegas is America’s designated debauchery zone, built in a proper desert so they don’t bitch when they light themselves on fire.

California has pale imitations all over, but it ends up feeling surreal and stupid, like an extra gay part of Canada
