how do people deal with the cold

The good old you can always add more layers. The coldest temperature I ever experienced in my region was -26°C, the hottest just over 40. Between the two, I much prefer the former.

But then again, it just boils down to what you’re used to. Our winters have always been on the harsher side, and I’m not even far up north.

Every new heatwave has me holding on for dear life. Judging by recent years, my body will have to adapt sooner than later, otherwise I’m going to have a really bad time going forward.

wet your head

For some reason, I’ve never really thought about this. I splash my face, my neck, wet my arms and legs, but I always forget the top of my head.

Maybe I unconciously assume my hair provides good shade, but it’s definitely not long and thick enough for that.

plan your day around the heat

This is probably the most important part. It’s quite easy to do that on weekends, but many people have their set in stone hours at work that just aren’t compatible with that kind of weather.

We need to figure out how employers can be more flexible with allowing their employees to work around the heat when possible. It’s normal for construction workers to start earlier and pause during the hottest hours, why not do that in the office too?

Some middle-european countries are starting to consider the siesta model of their southern neighbours, and I think that’s not a bad idea at all.

Idk, I’m seeing plenty of people here for whom gasoline is evidently not expensive enough yet

miss_brainfart, 2 years ago

Well the funny part is that it’s not even people in high-end cars that I’m seeing

If there are people in the middle lane and you blast past them at double their speed, that could be seen as unsafe

First comes the Porsche, who then gets bullied off the left lane by a Lamborghini, who then gets bullied off the left lane by an Audi RS6.

That’s Germany

Yes, but also: Every little bit of help, well… helps.

Don’t let those industries playing the blame game discourage you from dedicating a part of your yard to a bunch of flowers, because then the problem would get ever so slightly worse.

People are too lazy to manage when to subscribe where based on what’s on offer at any given time.

That’s it, that’s all there is to it.

miss_brainfart, 2 years ago

Most people don’t know where to look for to get started on that. Some people don’t even know that pirating that show they watch is even an option in the first place.

Idk, dicks can be pretty hot. A hairy ballsack, now that’s almost universally seen as not attractive

Sucks that my packages keep getting stolen

And that’s why in other countries, delivery services aren’t allowed to drop a package at the door unless you’ve explicitely told them to do so

You know what’s curious about this whole exchange? Your orignal comment clearly went against trans people in general, but as soon as you got some well-deserved pushback, you backpedal and try to specify only disliking a certain type of person, like that makes it any better.

But anyway. Yeah, natural curiosity is perfectly normal. What’s it like to have this or that bodypart? Never boring to think about.

I don’t see what that has to do with anything, though.

While we’re still on the topic of wanting attention, I reckon I gave you enough of it, more than you deserve.

So again, if you know how to self-reflect, do that.

Good, you know your sources at least.

So, these rights protect a persons will to be who they want to be, and to do what they want to do. They aim to let a person live their life, unbothered.

Yes?

miss_brainfart, 2 years ago

Regardless, they are human beings and should be treated as such, with all the rights that go along with it.

And what rights are those, according to you? What human rights do you want for yourself?

miss_brainfart, 2 years ago

To feel special, or to feel like themselves, which makes them feel excited and happy in a way they haven’t been in a long time, maybe ever?

People are feeling more and more comfortable to come out and be public with who they are, and that’s a good thing.

If you misinterpret that as a weird fad or trend to feel ✨special✨, then I don’t know what to tell you.

Maybe you should take a closer look at yourself, to figure out why it’s bothering you so much. I’m not trying to insinuate anything here, I don’t know you. Only you can come to a conclusion that makes sense.

But whatever that conclusion is, please find it. Take a step back and evaluate what you feel from a neutral distance.

Well, their position is what allowed them to do so much for Linux. And their desire to distance themselves from Microsoft, which I’m absolutely on board with.

Remember, kids:

1. Check your mirrors
2. Set your blinker
3. Turn your damn head and look
4. Change lanes / Turn

Also, if you’re turning:
Set your blinker to let others know what you plan on doing before you brake.

Addiction or not, someone who doesn’t put their trash where it belongs is disgusting scum.

Especially when that trash can start a fire.

miss_brainfart, 2 years ago

I don’t know why, but saying a trans just sounds weird.

But yes, walking stereotype. I bet you like Fallout New Vegas, too
