The Pacific Northwest was very mild all winter so I’d bet BC.

False. Well, it’s true there was that one study but it wasn’t accurate.

I have a good relationship with my family, but they are still miserable and draining to be around.

Why would you tolerate this?

Hey look, it’s both sides of the trolley problem.

It’s called “sealioning” and the only solution is to not engage with these types. They aren’t interested in honest answers, just controlling the conversation with a veneer of legitimacy to shield them from criticism.

Developed very similarly? On what time scale? Inuit, Salish, Cherokee, Aztec, Inca, and Rapa Nui are all pretty distinct. Post-colonialism there’s lots of differences between French, English, Spanish, and Portugese influence. And topographically the North Andes are a pretty solid border (though in many ways it makes more sense to extend out to the coast).

Imagine if “exciting” was the only metric all art was judged by.

They’re just awkwardly presented, the core mechanic is essentially the same as what we have now the numbers just go a different direction.

Not in my area they aren’t. I just talked to an arborist about removing a tree on my lot and they suggested de-limbing it and leaving a standing snag for the ecological benefit, and the wooded parks here have loads of deadfall (which is great for the ferns and huckleberries, they love a nurse log)

It’s still not a good idea to leave a large dead tree standing by the street.
