Honestly, for you it may seem that way. For me other things you might have very little to no knowledge about seem like basic things everyone should know. It just so happens, that I don’t specifically enjoy learning about moments in time where we were particularly intent on killing each other. My interest in history tends to be at the same time larger and smaller in scale, either following specific people or society in general.
There was this guy in our friends group who was your guarantee of losing if he was on your team. You could pair him up with the best players and still his utter lack of game-comprehension would somehow drag the others down to his level.
This person is usually a complex combination of mean and stupid, blaming everyone else for being trash while they make the worst, most incompetent plays you’ve ever seen.
Why are you carrying? You should be working with your team instead of plowing through on your own.
If your strength is offense and you get paired with offense people as well, someone needs to fall back and cover defense. If you’re not doing that once in a while, you’re the liability.
Well, I never have this problem… because I stopped playing competitive games. I suck and they actually kinda stress me out unless I play with friends who are chill.
There are very few games from large companies that don’t tilt favor one way or another. Generally speaking though there is usually some way around this and much more skilled players will do better, but joe schmoe after an awesome game will always end up on the shitter team one way or another next game.
I am this mans, and to be honest if there is no wind, I wouldnt be wearing the hoodie. Just run super hot. If I could afford it I would keep the house at like 62 and still have the ceiling fans on.
Might I recommend Denmark? Too damn cold here much of the year and other than the weather, which it sounds like you might enjoy, it’s an excellent place to live!
It’s still autumn on the Canadian east coast, and temperatures are now staying below the freezing point. Still seeing the occasional shorts wearer, now with boots on.
As an Okie, I’ll admit that our “cold” isn’t truly cold. Our coldest nights on average are like -3°C. In fact, the coldest it’s ever been in my neck of the woods is -25°C, and that was that freak polar vortex that knocked out power in Texas for several days in Feb '21. The coldest verified recorded temperature in Oklahoma happened in Nowata in Feb 2011, where it dipped to -35°C. And that was also a freak occurrence, and it was 24°C again within a few days. In my part of the state, it gets above freezing point about 355 days of the year. Rarely do we ever spend a full 24 hours below freezing, though it happens once or twice a year. We also get a decent snow or two most years, but it never sticks around for long. New snow is beautiful. But once it’s a day or two old, it’s disgusting. It’s nice that it all melts away within a few days.
And yes, I am a white man, and I wear shorts all year and in any weather.
Don’t ask me about the hot, humid hell we become over summer.
Am white guy that cab spend hours in a -10F freezer with just a lightweight coat and beanie. I wear shorts as long as it’s not windy and walked a mile in -15F one winter. That was a bit cold and had to take a warm bath after that.
I was born in Minnesota, so I know cold, in the south they think snow is cold, they are unaware of so cold it cant snow. I still shovel snow in my crocs
I agree that snowy weather isn’t that cold. But shovelling snow in crocs?? There is no worse feeling than that particular cold wetness of snow getting in your shoes. I wear a big snowsuit to prevent any snow from getting on me.
I live near a university that attracts quite a few international students/lecturers and I’ve often witnessed the exact opposite of this. You’re outside in the middle of summer, trying not to die of a heat stroke, when a obviously non-native person walks by wearing a winter coat and a hat.
That was me, I live in the tropics near the mountains where you can go from 42⁰ at crazy humidity near sea level to 15⁰ up around 2000m in about an hour’s drive. I lived near sea level and when we were kids we’d meet halfway with friends who lived in the mountains. They’d be running around in just swimsuits and I’d be sitting on the side wearing 3 layers.
Yep I saw some Indians near Atlanta who were wearing big coats when it was just a hair below 70 F outdoors. I was out there loading stuff into my car in shorts and a T-shirt and they looked at me funny.
The opposite of that, that I also saw was my portly Eskimo friend, who was in shorts and a T-shirt in the actual winter time when I needed a big coat. He was like “You think this is cold?”
I mean room temperature is 20 °C (68 °F) so wearing shorts and T-shirt should be the norm imo. If it isn’t colder outside than inside, why put on more clothes?
Believe it or not, I’m also from Sweden, and most people I know have it set to 19-20, and one guy 18. I’ve never seen 23(!) I can’t believe they’re native Swedes.
It was 50 last night when I took the dog for a walk. I was too lazy to put on socks, so it was in sweats with sandals and bare feet. Was surprisingly easier on the feet than I expected
When I visit friends in northern Germany they also run around like it’s summer when it’s close to winter cold for me.
I had a friend jump into the North Sea to rescue a beer crate we put into the water for staying ice cold that swam away. While I was freezing on two blankets near the fire in a coat.
That beer was also too cold. None of their behaviour made any sense.
This is me. I have had people say I make them sweat by looking at me when I wear a sweater in 75F just because it’s not yet hot enough to make me take it off.
All over Asia every time the temperature in the evening goes from scorching to bearable for me, everybody there starts pulling out sweaters and jackets.
