looking up scottish shit for reasons and came across a guide to when the best times of the year to visit the country are...
haha suffer weaklings
#scotland#scottish weather#look it's not THAT bad#just very damp#worse on the west coast#further incentive to come to the objectively better coast (the east)#(that's not true I love the west coast)

Anyways the fallout show is a million times funnier if you remember that ten years ago this part of the setting was like. Regular ass people. The NCR was supposed to be a fairly normal and recognizable country by today’s standard. They had offices and factories and election campaigns and taxes and shit.
Which just goes to show that the real message of fallout is that your average American is five years of lawlessness away from dressing in leathers and trying to chew our neighbors face off in the ruins of a Walmart parking lot
#but somehow whatever’s going on with the vault dwellers is even worse#fallout#fallout prime#fallout new vegas#anyways I started watching the fallout show cause I figured if I was gonna be a hater I should be an accurate hater#but honestly? it’s not awful so far#I’ve got plenty of complaints#but most of them could have been solved by just. not setting this on the west coast#the tone and feel is very much in line with east coast fallout#which is fine. but on the east coast this shit should have stayed

the problem with building out america's rail network btw is that it's privatized and there will never be a corporate incentive strong enough or backed enough to implement effective, accessible, AND privatized countrywide travel. nationalize railways deliver on the demands of railway workers and most importantly respect indigenous sovereignty/include indigenous design input when plotting routes
#and a million other things mostly to do with geology but in terms of politics and morals this is what im going with as far as a snappy#summary of 'the problem'#however geology elaboration: america is So hard to build railways across because our most populated areas along the west coast#(where most of the rail drought is; rail PRICING on the east coast is a whole nother thing)#are stupid mountainous. the california hsr plan is spending several million more on the rail line bc they gotta plan around a mountain#and the problem gets worse the farther north you get on account of the cascades and ESPECIALLY the region around shasta#in another life i was a seismic engineer. anyway#i'm looking for a papers or other peer-reviewed content on the history of american rail labor#if anyone has favorites send them my way cause all my research is locked on california and the pacific coast more broadly#'research' my font of pdfs i downloaded from ILLs lol

#feeling so entirely disillusioned with life rn#the current ai situations is already shitty but the true ai wave hasn't even started yet. we have no idea whats coming but we are so fucked#at least a quarter of all the software job postings are for AI development now#if we're in capitalism hell rn then we're about to enter mega hell#i was only feeling a little depressed today after job searching but then#i went on youtube & was hit with the memory of what yt used to be before 2010#& seeing all those slick & shiny hd seo-optimized yt thumbnails suddenly disgusted me#but ai is about to make the internet a whole lot worse#ai is about to make art a whole lot worse - and not just visual arts. ALL the arts#(sf ballet (aka. the most prestigious ballet company on the west coast & who plays to 3k+ ppl per night) has no fucking artistic solidarity#& designed all their commercial art for the nutcracker this past xmas using ai)#ai is about to make the job market a whole lot worse#i don't want to be a raging fear-mongering type of person but i am extremely pessimistic & depressed about the future#or the near future anyways. i'm hoping that once the consequences of unrestricted ai reveal themselves further#that legislators will finally start taking it seriously & start doing something to protect workers from it#but somehow i feel it will be too little too late#personal post

even ignoring the west coast/east coast divide between the different companies behind fallout, i think setting the show in the west coast is just really lazy and boring. there's the entire country of north america to explore that we have barely even touched on, and instead of setting it in any of the billions of other possible locations, its set in familiar territory. is that the best these people could come up with?
#this would have been the perfect opportunity for a fallout set in like. florida like post-apoc miami beach#or in like louisianna with the swamps. that would have been fun!#instead we're back in the west coast but 10000 worse than we've ever seen it#text#ok. last on this. i am not wasting my time on bad tv <3

okay the thing with the coast poll is that my tags were mostly joking cuz I do expect it to be a contest of where you've lived and I respect that so I'm not actually mad HOWEVER I saw some of the comments and as a person who has lived on both, I am thereby qualified to ask, IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE IS THE EAST COAST MORE TEMPERATE. WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR DEFINITION OF TEMPERATE.
#I lived in boston the winter of '15. do not fucking tell me that coast is TEMPERATE.#like yes you can comment that it's not as hot over there#(even tho imo higher temperatures are more tolerable on the west coast cuz it's lower humidity which is why it's better)#and also it used to be that it didn't even get hot enough that you needed a/c. MY PARENTS' HOUSE IN SOCAL STILL DOESN'T HAVE A/C.#but Y'ALL HAVE HURRICANES AND NOR'EASTERS. 'TEMPERATE' IS NOT ABOUT TEMPERATURE IT'S ABOUT STORM SEVERITY#we have SO FEW STORMS to the point that major storms COMPLETELY WRECK OUR INFRASTRUCTURE EVEN TO THE NORTHERNMOST POINT.#like this is also not about which coast is better I am just BEWILDERED BY HOW SOMEONE IS DEFINING TEMPERATE.#frankly wild too considering temperatures across the board are getting higher but the storms are getting WAY WORSE#BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURE INCREASES. CUZ THE WATER IS WARMING.#most new englanders I know like the east coast cuz they ENJOY the snow and are mad the snow patterns have changed.#anyway begging everyone to read more about climate change so you know how climates WORK TO BEGIN WITH

Also I just started adderall last week and my lips haven’t been this chapped since I was a dehydrated kid in summer camp and it’s making me crazy I’m probably gonna die from this give all my belongings to Daisy and give Daisy to my gayest acquaintance.
#text post#I drink so much water and yet !!! they remain dry af.#I’m hoping now that I’m out of the desert proper and back by the west coast it’ll be a bit better tho.#bit also man. it hurts. and it’s got a Texture and SOMEONE (me) has the disease called I have to touch it even if it makes it worse

Endless swamp
#horizon forbidden west#hfw#hfw photomode#oh hey i found the one motel/town ruin pic again#that i kinda missed during the night pics a few days ago#what i ALSO found#for better or worse#was the vibrancy filter#i don't like it too much for the thornmarsh area?#you get extremely crisp ocean/coast pictures with it#but it turns up the green too much for my liking#so the colours lose balance#and since i've got a new tv#i'm not yet quite used to the values and stuff#also i should get new glasses#had to scrap two pics because they were weirdly out of focus#and i definitely didn't see that originally because i guess everything's a little out of focus at that distance by now#but it's so expensive#[devastation.jpg]

my hometown is so stupid and fake-sounding like yes it is in the part of california where it's sunny every day but inexplicably there is a hockey team that everyone is obsessed with so there are hockey bros with surfer dude accents everywhere. and seemingly everyone smokes a lot of weed
#no wonder every annoying swagless white guy in america has made it his personal mission to make it worse#it's like some minnesota frat bro's wet dream of life on the west coast#personal nonsense#yes i love it and also think it is one of the weirdest and most annoying places on planet earth#drug mention

I complain a lot abt my grandmother and I am valid for it, I'm not taking it back, but. She has cooked multiple dishes from my childhood that had me almost in tears from nostalgia so. Idk. Maybe love is stored in the djagacida and the ceebu yapp or whatever 🥺
#also why the FUCK is ceebu yapp spelled like that but the french thiébou yapp is even worse 😞#it's pronounced chippayup qnd djagacida is pronounded jiggaseed. insane spelling from the west african coast as usual.#love is definitely stored in the maggi and adja cubes but we knew that. i just wish we didnt have to order them online RIP#disgruntled octopus

hm i have no energy to write anymore, but should i start a side blog for my card readings and ghost stories? im so estranged from life and my home, i cant get comfortable without being connected like i was before i moved, even reading cards is hard to do now.
#i just want to feel sound again but i cant seem to do that without old things around me and distance from modernization#i feel lost without my ghosts around i dont like new houses i feel so far from everything i understand#and being sick i feel even worse too#i dont even have a cemetery here i can walk to to recover#or recharge rather#lots of haunted places just not this time of year#they shut down before dark usually and i dont think they do the ghost walks#but in Lunenburg i felt great it wasnt necessarily haunted but it was all just so old and it felt right#but mike Flanagan posted the season 2 plan for mc and talked about soulmates#and thats a concept im very close to and im absolutely certain i have to find the place i was buried#it was by the sea looking west and it was prior to around 1850 but thays about all i know#that long ago that cemetery might not even be there#especially if its the canadian east coast our bodies may already be lost to the ocean#but i still have to find it somehow i believe i will some day but im missing a piece and that piece is the person i buries#or at least his coffin#i dont think he was in it. i feel like he was lost at sea and the only solice i have and the mist of any of these memories is that i died#quickly after i lost him#and yet its been 25 years and i dont know where he is in this life time and im terrified he isnt here#but that one blog post is all im holding onto to believe soemhow we'll still meet before we die#i just don't want to have such a small amount of time with him#i dont feel any of the things i do when im in a place bound to the earth#its confusing and it aches and i just want to have my instincts back#but anyway its not like i can talk about any of this without someone assuming i need medication#which i do but not for that🙃

CA is a special case because CA superceded the EPA and has their own environmental board and regulations. In fact, it's so pervasively scrupulous that all US auto manufacturers create cars to be compliant with CA regulations instead of Federal/NHTSA/EPA regulations in order to not miss out on one of the world's largest car markets.
And CA's environmental agency works... Really well, actually. You *can* walk through DTLA in the summer RIGHT NOW without choking on the real life "mexico filter" that you could possibly describe as something adjacent to "air." Take a look at pictures of LA from 30 years ago, 40 years ago, and 50 years ago. Go and take a picture right now!
So, as much as we loathe and hate them, they do their job pretty damn well. Better than many environmental agencies the world over.
Climate crisis is coming for all of us. We need to vote for people who are not insulated from reality via donor bribes.
We need a robust EPA. The current Supreme Court wants to end the EPA and Federal power to regulate our air and water. Never forget.
Get involved. Vote.
#also wtf is with the canada comment#i fucking hate politics for this very reason#the entirety of the west coast burns every year from AZ to WA#central canada has wildfires every year just as bad if not worse than California most of the time#colorado and the midwest regularly have wildfires#this isnt a new phenominon#it's just that spoiled east coasters finally have to deal with what the other half of the entire continent deals with every year#boo fucking hoo#i'm sorry something as rare as wind happened to blow at the wrong time#i'll tell God to stop the earth's rotation

*frantically googling sunset times*
#KP 9 ?!?!?!! NINE??? G5?????? 2003 Halloween solar storm levels???? ''walk outside and look up past 10 pm'' ???? hello???#idk the chance that i see a damn thing esp naked eye but getting a phone notif of a 33% chance at 5:45 pm BROAD DAYLIGHT#like what#nadia rambles#okay ftr if it is visible and you do go out there be careful wrt reliance on satellite signals and GPS and radio etc#if it's strong enough there will be a lot of noise at minimum and worse case scenario it might completely knock out sat and gps#and cause major radio interference - at least temporarily#could also cause power outages which is more of a problem on the eastern coast of the US and Canada due to the structure of the grid#west coast has shorter east-west lines and more redundancies than east coast interconnection#east coast has longer east-west lines which makes it more vulnerable to geomagnetic interference and damage#plus the geology of the ground for buried lines also makes a difference. if you live in an area with less conductive soil materials#buried lines are more likely to overload from geomagnetic interference as all of the power will be funneled into the lines#if you have more conductive ground around the buried lines there's less funneling so less chance of major surges and outages#I am not sure about effect on electric cars but historically strong geomagnetic storms like this have affected the lights in times square#just as one example (tho it was prob grid related it could have also been direct induction surging the lights)#so it may be worth a little bit of caution as certain lights or parts of the electrical grid or possibly vehicles may have some troubles#you wanna know what tesla coils were invented for? wireless electrical power. they can power lights from a distance w/ no contact#geomagnetic storms also do this

It truly pains me to say this but i must begrudgingly admit.... maybe the west coast is better
#.txt#it rains a lot but when the sun shines its so much brighter#the food is better#the drivers are worse but in a way thats better cause theyre less aggressive#the stars are clearer#idk maybe im just less depressed cause im out of my parents house#east coast IS beast coast but west coast might be best coast

Ahhh gotcha gotcha! Maxine definitely paid for her bottom surgery with her TV personality money then...
it's europe baby that shit's government covered! in this reality the nazis still lost, they just did a lot more damage beforehand i think... europe is still trying to recover but the war crimes of the early 20th century are massive scars still on the psyche of everyone in the world.
#still trying to think how the situation in the pacific ended#might make things worse there#watch out west coast....
