After 40+ years in California, specifically around the "nice" part of it that tech bazingas flocked to and gentrified since the 90s, I can say...
If they're not the most annoying, they are definitely up there with smug insufferable emptiness that is stuffed with treats and fad-chasing. Ever meet a woman whose personality was "yoga, wine, and tormenting retail/restaurant workers?" Ever meet a man whose personality was "bibeo bame and P R E S T I G E T V?"
Strong contenders for annoying people contests.
UlyssesT is Californian, the hypothesis is reinforced!
jk ulysses this is meant in well intended jest, I'm on the pro-UlyssesT postin' train
The ribbing is well received... and maybe well deserved.
It may take years for all of that second-hand wine country snobbery and liberal pretentiousness to fully wash out.
I've never thought that of your posts, imo I think you just have an energy and intensity that might rub some people the wrong way sometimes, but that's okay because it's just you being you and not vibing with their vibes, it's not an annoying thing or something to overly think over and feel bad about. Can't please everyone, so whatever, haters
again, i think you're a valuable addition to the site and I'm glad you're back postin', although I hope that isn't at the expense of your touch-grassy intentions when you engaged in your recent Long Log-Off
I appreciate the vote of confidence.
Sometimes it can be, I admit! Fortunately, this is an easygoing time at the moment (which is why I decided to log in again recently), but I better not get too addicted to posting. It may take hold of me, and I would resent its absence.
I take it you've never been to Los Angeles. LA should take the blame for introducing the "yoga wine women" to your old area.
Also, by "LA" I mean Century City, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Venice, Malibu, & the SFV, aka "the porn capitol of the world", where I grew up. Long time residents call it "Hell-A" for a reason.
I mean as insufferable as the tech valley is, you can't match the shittiness and pure demonic ego of a city that has it's own song, written in the 80s, no less: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=KcADqxnQA_4
EDIT: I wanted to add that LA is the image most people have in mind when they talk about CA. Sorry.

Not you too...

Yes.
