This summer has been ominous as fuck. Anytime I’ve pointed it out most people don’t realize what I mean… If you’re in tune with the natural system of weather you recognize a shift like this. It’s been getting slowly worse over the last few years… but this year has been really really different. We are so fucked.
Not to mention how few bugs there are anymore. You dont even have to clean off your windshield after an 8 hour drive anymore
I've lived in the same place for almost 40 years, and I remember the weather around here (Midwest) as a kid.
Shits fucked. And older people are like whatever.
My place is usually prettey mildly temperatured, not too hot and not too cold, but this years it was unbearable and sometimes the hottest place in Europe. Shit's fucked beyond saving
I grew up in Cleveland, and not once in my entire life did we ever have problems with CANADIAN wild fires. It's all wet up there, I didn't think anything could burn. Now it's a regular thing.
That's not normal.
Yeah we’ve been having dust storms like abnormal ones. We barely will get them and this year we’ve had multiple it’s been dusty all week. It makes me irrationally pissed off… except it’s not all that irrational. Fuck anyone who has a part in all of this.
Imagine how I feel in mother fucking Cincinnati.
The speed in which the talking point became "Everything has always been like this" to conservatives is mindboggling.
