...maybe? idk, this is the area:

The upper left is a horse stable, bottom right is described as "Jasper Ridge Farm". Having one of your borders defined by the 280 freeway says "not rich" to me, but a bunch of open space bordering Palo Alto says "maybe".

Nolan is probably a nerdy fanboi who fantasized about banging Grimes because she's as close as you can get to a real live anime character, but now that she's banging a billionaire instead he's realizing just how unattainable his fantasies actually are.

This may help explain Grimes/Musk to the unawares, an excerpt from a 2010 documentary on Grimes (then a student at McGill), starting at 0:50:

"I really think like the continuation of space exploration is like a really important thing. I think it should be like much more focused on in schools.
....
Would you like to go to space?
Oh, yes! I think I would. I mean the ideal [that I look as like impossible?] would be to work for NASA.

The map thing inspired me to make an album of Rectangles Of Places That Don't Suck: https://imgur.com/a/O85EGfK

I've got the west coast up to the Rocky Mountains, gonna be out of town for a few days though.

Surprising place: Fresno!

As someone who attended Simon Fraser for a time I likely have some relevant insight. The fact she grew up in Vancouver would make McGill much more attractive. Not only is it further from home and more prestigious, it's in a big city, so you can do things like make music and play local clubs instead of being stuck on the top of a small mountain in a series of futuristic concrete bunkers. Also, she grew up pretty rich, so she could afford it.

I thought Grimes was supposed to be punk/goth or whatever and not Lolitacore.

Also Mark Zuckerberg is a sociopathic scumbag, maybe? One can dream their "privacy" policy and refusal to censor actual Nazis is having some effect.

I just cant picture FB being a giant player in 10 to 20 years. It's already unpopular among youths, what happens when they continue to not adopt it and its userbase continues to skew like 3x older than it was when it started?

This forum is basically a nanocosm of what will happen.
