the first one is actually real btw. and kind of insane??? it feels like the setup for a shitty horror movie???

stories in local newspapers in the US are always something like “local high school has tradition where they haze the freshmen by chasing them with paintball guns for several miles. this must be stopped.” “a lot of pitbulls have been violent lately” “county hires lawyer famous for encouraging police brutality in court case after police officer kills innocent man in mental distress”

#what growing up in the northern coast of california will do to you i guess.#i had no clue about this by virtue of yknow. not living there. before stumbling upon it online.#and i was flabbergasted. astonished. slightly amused.#i mean i know this is a hazing ritual and those are bad and it's dangerous and destructive #but let me tell you somethingy do it.#because i bet five dollars that nobody following me has been to sonoma.#(no seriously if i'm wrong and you have been to sonoma or any of it's neighboring cities/towns i will actually send you five dollars.)#(this is how sure i am)#SONOMA SUCKS. IT'S TOURISTY AND EXPENSIVE AND THERE'S SO MUCH WINE TASTING THAT IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.#and it TRIES to be country but it's just too bougie to really pull it off.#IT'S LIKE A BARN CHIC WEDDING #ONE THAT TAKES PLACE IN WHAT USED TO BE THE BARN OF A REGULAR FAMILY FARM #AND AS YOU SIT DOWN YOU CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL A LITTLE BIT SAD #SEEING HOW THE CAREFULLY ARRANGED FACADE OF A IDYLLIC COUNTRY LIFE HAS OBSCURED WHAT ONCE WAS #A REGULAR BARN WHERE REGULAR PEOPLE WORKED AND DID BARN THINGS #IF YOU TOOK A WALK AROUND SONOMA AND TOOK A SHOT EVERY TIME YOU SAW A WINE TASTING PLACE???#YOU'D BE DEAD OF ALCOHOL POISONING WITHIN HALF AN HOUR #IT'S ONLY REDEEMING FEATURES ARE IT'S INTERESTING HISTORICAL SITES AND LIKE ONE GOOD MEXICAN RESTAURANT #every time i find myself complaining about my city i think 'at least i don't live in SONOMA' and i instantly feel better.#THERE'S NOTHING DO THERE YOU IF YOU AREN'T RICH AND YOU DON'T LOVE WINE #AND YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN TO ALL THE HISTORICAL SITES #I UNDERSTAND WHY THESE KIDS ARE CAUSING THIS MUCH CHAOS. I WOULD TOO IF I WAS A TEENAGER LIVING IN SONOMA. SONOMA SUCKS.#sorry i just don't like sonoma. i only end up going there like once a year but i don't like it very much.#claude's meowing
