I am not stoked on...
This heatwave in San Diego.
The fact that a friend that seriously said that record heat? What about before 1835 or whenever the weather here was first recorded?
The person who sent that text that this is happening because:"if people of the world don't believe in god he can't protect us from this".
That feeling that people think like this and the amusement of how we are so fucked.
Climate change or not, I'm hot and a whiny baby about how fucking hot it is.
Ya man, I live in the sticks, on the coast close to Oregon. The rivers are dry and filled with toxic algae, and it ain't cuz the ganja growers took all the water. I tell anyone back in cities who sez climate change ain't real that the redwood crowns look like dead Xmas trees on a Boston sidewalk on February and the rivers are dry. I drove to SF and it was 112 from Ukiah to Novato. 90 in SF. I got no AC and was almost sick just driving. People are too sheltered in their homes and AC stores/virtual reality to see what's going on.
Driving thru that, seeing the Eel almost all dry, the Russian 100% dry, couples with the hellscape burnscars, it's pretty fucking nerve wrecking
As a species, we are completely fucked. I'm not sure I want to invest in my 401K anymore as I worry there is no point. There is no way the economy is going to be able to sustain itself as climate gets worse over the next 30 years.
Even when the rivers are dry, all the ground water has been pumped, and the oceans have overwhelmed the coasts, there are still going to be people who say climate change was made up by the Democrats. What a fucking nightmare we have to look forward to all because one party couldn't stop taking money from big energy companies and wrapped their identity in hating the planet (and I don't want to hear about both sides... if it was both sides at least a handful of Republicans would vote for the environment instead of unanimously voting against every time).
I just took this new job, right, a job that's supposed to be kind of a stable future builder. First time I've ever really done this and after the first day I sed to my gal "with the planet earth rejecting humanity and life getting harder for us, im not really sure I want to spend my time doing something like this, that I'm not totally sold on." Its not all that hard or wicked demanding compared to other things, its stable enough too if I even remotely play the game. But, Life, every day, feels increasingly precious, you know what I'm saying? I don't like to play the game. Waiting for civil war/the states to crumble even more, driving thru this increasingly fucked up weather, etc is leading me to reconsider my priorities. I don't have much for investments or 401k and at 37, with the state of things, I don't know that it matters all that much. I'd rather plant gardens, fix vehicles, and teach the kids how to be, just how to survive and find reasons to survive this madness. I don't freakin know man, I don't.
Stay safe and sane, my brethren. We will get by
