  • This radlib navel-gazing pisses me off so much. Not just because its completely detached from the reality that these people are going to be killed in the exact way they're describing by the systems in place currently, but because it's always trotted out to scold and tut-tut people for being reprehensible tankies presumably to preserve the fragile ego of some imperial chauvinist.








  • I'm gonna fucking lose it if one more person decides to be a "good samaritan" and stop one lane, the far lane out of two or more, so somebody can turn across all of them. because let me tell ya bud, when I'm going 50 miles per hour down the road and I can't see past your shitty ultrawide suv I have no idea some fucking jerkoff is trying to turn across three lanes of traffic to go eat at their nazi chicken restaurant for the third time today and in their frenzy they just pull on out like there's not traffic barreling towards them and we almost hit, of course with gestures and honking to imply I'm somehow morally or legally in the wrong. Sorry! Should've turned on my Citizens Band Radio to get the minute by minute updates where you announced your random act of kindness lane closure! It's not LA traffic, the fucker can wait a minute for conditions to clear on their own, without your assistance. Cars are the root of ALL FUCKING EVIL DEATH TO AMERICA



  • It's super fucked up that the national weather service, or who the fuck ever, decided to name the two statuses watch and warning, two words which kinda mean around the same thing and both start with the same letter. All my life, no matter how many cute mnemonics people come up with I cannot differentiate them. Was it so hard to just do something like "tornado conditions" and "tornado alert/warning/imminent/anything else"? we wouldn't need all this nursery rhyme bullshit in the first place. Not in danger btw, just saw someone mention these terms and it awoke my primal rage.
