I was unceremoniously clickbaited on lemmy today, cheer a guy up please

Yeah, my wife is in denial, so I have been preparing the property and our lifestyle bit by bit as long as we’ve been in this location, I do it everywhere I live. She knows I’m concerned but she doesn’t understand the scale and severity of what’s coming. She also thought I was nuts when I prepped for Covid when I read about it far before it was being talked about around the coolers… she told me she thought I was nuts and then found great relief when she noticed everyone starting to panic. It’ll be the same again, she’ll come around. Just wish everyone would take it seriously and slowly prepare so we have communities in place already, and not just panicking competitors.

They were limited by the sheer reality of New Orleans being under sea level in a swamp on a shoreline. No amount of pumps and walls can solve that problem when storms exist, especially when they’re known to be getting worse thanks to climate change. Even if you built for storms 50 years out, it still wouldn’t matter.

I lived there in the late 90s and early 2000s, dated the daughter of one of the engineers that helped design, build, and maintain the levies and pumps that kept it from being unlivable. He said back then that it was going to fail in years, not likely decades, and that climate issues aside he wouldn’t want to stay if he was young. That was a major reason I left. That and the constant floods and crazy amount of drugs/alcohol. At some point it just became a bad idea for me to stay, and that point was 9/11. When I was getting used to lockdowns where we all armed ourselves because of fears houses would get looted, I knew I wanted a more normal life.

My wife after I bake chocolate chip cookies: “why are you eating the ones with raw centers straight off the pan??”

I read it divorced dad energy, the kind who is old enough to have watched Akira, but was too busy jerking off in the corner of his frat house to do so.

So was the first avenue

I gotta make me one of those woven fences, so nice

Despite not having the same burial customs, I have no doubt the freedumb anti-mask types would do exactly the same shit if an outbreak got as bad here in the US

A dingo was my baby!

Thank you for the response, very informative!

Same as it always was, twizzlers, chocolate covered raisins, and dime bags in the empty copy of Heat of the Night

People are out here still rooting for the circus ring master when we have known for decades now that they’re beating and enslaving the elephants, tigers, and crew alike, while splitting what the pick pockets get from the crowd while everyone enjoys the show.

Why did you opt for pro vs nonpro out of curiosity?

They’re already cooking trash with cardboard, at some point the suffering you can inflict is negligible

At this point many people won’t. Hard to squeeze blood out of a dried, overworked, malnutritioned poisoned and diseased husk of a laid off worker.

If refugees can float to the mainland, I think there is probably reason for concern that asymmetrical warfare can be performed, regardless of their lack of traditional or ultra modern equipment. We have literally never avoided consequences from regime change abroad, so maybe it’s a bad idea. Just thinking out loud here.

There’s also the matter of protests not being intended to make onlookers “fist pump” or be excited. They’re SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable, they’re supposed to make people upset or inconvenience their day, or else they can just be ignored. What’s the point of just making people happy or go about their day? That’s not a protest, that’s just doing random shit like every other day.
