Instead of anything useful we’ll just have a reality series called Beat the Heat about survival and finding love during these turbulent times, gonna be good. Truck commercials and all!
Daily temperature records will tumble as sizzling early season heat from a summerlike heat dome sends thermometers skyrocketing into the triple digits in parts of California and the West this week....
There are few ‘viable solutions’ that readily present themselves to the concerned voter, so little gets resolved and issues continue to grow and morph. If you look at things through a state by state lens it becomes more cloudy because state laws will affect more immediate issues and can very likely differ. It’s hard to command fifty entities in one direction, all worried about various concerns in various directions. Having faith in this Rube Goldberg machine def makes for a bad time, so apathy and hope suffice. System working as intended, do not investigate.
Agreed. I don’t fear the thicc morons assembling on a large enough scale or being organized enough. These are Walmart shoppers who vacation in Florida every year for the most part, they’re not going to be committed, adaptive, intelligent, resilient. They’re not loyal enough to any one cause by nature, most are just vocal karen types over a bunch of superficial bs.
Will/can some of them be a problem? For sure, but… Yeah
You really have to be an asshole to live in Texas at this point lol abort Texas, abort the south. I want them to succeed in secession for demonstrative value.
If I just look up "what genre is _____" it'll be very broad like "edm" or "pop" but I'd like to know if this is house or techno or d&b etc so I can start narrowing down my tastes...
I admire your persistence and commitment after all of that, because biking is great! Lots of immature and vindictive morons concern me, coming from an area that saw bikers as an inconvenience. I need to get on mine more
I think I’d have been too discouraged after all of that, you’re tough
until companies aren’t incentivized by capitalist greed this will continue happening
You’d think that it would be in the best interest of capitalism to keep everybody alive to maximize profits through the course of each victim’s life, but the shortsighted goal of lining a couple pockets and avoiding disruption was chosen. A predictably lazy approach… and why we will deal with asbestos, cigarettes, pesticide, pfas damages for years to come
Would love to see some corporate heads roll, fuck these disgusting pieces of shit. I hope their business practices and families suffer for years to come! May the winds of climate change wipe out their children before them, in their lifetime.
India’s heat waves are attributed to a combination of short-term weather patterns and long-term warming trends fueled by human-caused climate change. Residents in India’s sprawling capital are often particularly affected, because dense buildings, roads, cars and air conditioners contribute to urban heat, experts say.
it’s hard to do more than nod and say “that makes sense” when we’ve been trending this way for awhile and it’s been acceptable by so many to question or ignore the warnings

Good thing these dickheads have been building a solid stockpile of ransom payment for years through fee collection, so they can breathe easily knowing capital is of no concern
Everywhere I am there is a guy running a leaf blower. At my house, leaf blowers everywhere all day long. At work, of course, leaf blowers blowing dirt and allergens into the air. It’s such a special noise, it goes through walls and headphones so effectively. They are the most pervasive, annoying things on the planet. I hate...
seemingly half of all independent businesses in the burbs are landscaping, and landscaping is to HOAs what Christianity is to cunts everywhere, so … It makes sense
