    Where do you live where there's a lot of action on a Saturday night and no food stores nearby?

    a sleepy town in orange county, california. There's no action, one has to drive to get some activity. But the schools are really good and the environment is very safe, and it's within driving distance of 2 major job hubs (LA and Irvine).

    I live in Philly and schools were so "ghetto" :(

    I got builled so much, so much Sinophobia for some reason...

    I think the elementary and middle school were like 2/10 and the highschool was like 3/10

    ugh

    so... damn... miserable...

    no idea how I survived that...

    Oh wait I didn't really survived that, I got battle scars

    some dipshit decided to fight me and I got arrested

    Thank god¹ I have citizenship to shield me from potential deportation issues

    ¹okay well not god lol, just a figure of speech, thanks mom for having citizenship so I automatically got it as a minor

    I have a Chinese restaurant and bakery within like... 10-20 minute walking distance

    A sort of mall area and a bunch of stores withing 15-25 minute walking distance

    My mother got robbed once while carrying like red-envelopes worth of like $500 after Chinese news years... so yea there was that...

    Feels kinda like wild west lol 👀

    Chaotic af

    I hear a bunch of "fireworks" in the middle of the night...

    Yea I'll just pretend its fireworks, definitely not some dude that drove out of kensington and started doing a drive-by. 'Murica, baby!

    Jesus christ, I have to move to a good neighborhood before ever having kids, cuz this shit is torture lol

    I hated my mom for moving us to Philly. WTF

    Brooklyn was FINE. WHYYY?!? School was 8/10 now dropped to ass 2/10

    So much trauma... thanks mom

    (Cuz NYC rent was so expensive and it kept rising like there was a $100 rise in rent by the time we were about to leave)

    So yea... now in Philly, my parents own this house now... cuz housing is cheaper here, NYC, even Brooklyn was so expensive and impossibl to buy... so here, no rent to pay... but at what cost?

    Well now I know what the back of the police car and the inside of a detention cell look like

    yay

    Fucking Sinophobes everywhere jesus christ

    What lmao? no idea wtf that is but this is my actual life story

    I mean I know sounds like a movie plot but like sadly this is irl

    I feel like my life is scripted

    Random "exciting" events randomly happen to make this "plot" interesting

    Like oh hey you moved to America? Guess what? Trump 2.0 😭 (wtf, universe)

    Also Covid made me so afraid of germs and "contamination"

    I'm just rambling all the time

    So it probably sounds so giberish

    Like... when I comment, I just type words as if I'm talking to someone irl so I have a bunch half-sentences, cuz thats how I talk irl
