stages of winter
stages of winter
There are people who actually like winter.
So I’ve been told.
I prefer winter too. See, in the summer, it's too hot, and there's only so many layers you can remove before you get the police called on you.
But in the winter? No matter how cold, you can always just add extra layers!
I figure, even if I didn’t like the cold - and I do - for the most part, I’m probably only tolerating it from the car to whatever is the destination. That’s generally a pretty short walk - often a lot less than a minute - and I know most public buildings are, as you said, a thousand degrees.
So during the winter I just wear long pants and short sleeves and endure whichever extreme wherever I must.
I love the winter, yeah. I admit I don’t walk in the snow much (though I did so two days ago), but I like being in and near it. I mostly don’t walk in it because I have mild PTSD from breaking my ankle in some. I can’t really walk far at all, with or without snow.
However, I moved across several states and hundreds of miles to experience more of it. The last few months I’ve been sleeping with the window open. Because I like the cold and I like hearing the snow fall.
I primarily, though not entirely, drive an EV.
Don’t know what to tell you. I get that this comment might be in jest, but I really dislike it. I think I’m more mad at you than I have been with anyone else on lemmy. I almost considered swearing at you but it’s probably not warranted.
Uh … Hope you have a good day.
I can’t tell whether to believe you. What country is yours? Arabia?
I support things that support the climate, but if you’re really trying to do that, you’re not doing your cause a service. If you’re just trolling, I’ve never understood the purpose of that anyway.
Look at it this way: Donald Trump is a clown. It would not diminish his credibility in the least if tomorrow he walked into the Oval Office wearing squeaky clown shoes. Yet, he has somehow become the vanguard of the return of fascism to the world, and some significant percentage of the United States, despite claiming to be followers of Christ, truly do worship him as a god. Furthermore, his coming has heralded the rise of innumerable fascist media figures, from Charlie Kirk to Elon Musk to Kanye West to Kyle Rittenhouse. In short, he has shifted the overton window. A clown did that.
It turns out, being a clown is a great way to shift the overton window. Clowns get attention. People remember them. And even while laughing at the ridiculous things they say, people become accustomed to the rhetoric. It ceases to shock, and that makes the suit-and-tie respectable fascists such as Peterson or Shapiro seem more reasonable by comparison. Do you know what things are today being said in government all over the world and earning hardly a blink, because Trump has said something far worse?
I believe Jesus Christ would approve of a strategy of using the same tactics, but instead of evil, turning them towards good. We have among us an Antichrist. It is now time for the coming of a Prophet.
