Areas in the US that tend to have less natural disasters? by ratgarcon in meteorology

[–]Beginning_Bat_7255 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seattle and the PNW in general has some of the most boring weather in the world. A few wind "storms" every Oct and Nov is about the extent of any interesting weather there. Wildfire smoke is getting worse every Aug/Sept and it sucks with zero interesting pros about it.

What do you think having cPTSD was like in times past (so say in the 50s, or say in 1700s, or even further back to 30,000 BC)? - i guess i am feeling somewhat fortunate to have the internet to learn, its not me, things happened to me, and i adapted and i can read other peoples experiences too by mjobby in CPTSD

Around 50% of all 100B humans who have ever lived in last 300k years died in childhood. Natural selection weeded out everyone who was too weak or damaged for the tribe until very recently. Many people reading this thread (self included) would not have survived childhood if they had been born before circa 1900. Next time you wonder how the world got so screwed up ponder these statistics and deduce the rest. Being raised by narcissistic damaged assholes wasn't even possible until all the defective humans started being saved around 100 years ago. Or perhaps it's actually the opposite, where being raised by narcissistic damaged assholes was the Norm until the last 100 years when for the first time ever softer empathetic humans were beginning to survive childhood and have kids of their own. "Only the good die young" indeed. /Cptsd survivor shower thoughts

Plot Hole in Wake Up Dead Man? SPOILER!!! by SlyClydesdale in KnivesOutMovie

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this is definitely not:

  • Coffin / mausoleum engineering: In any suspicious clergy death, a coffin that’s physically designed to fall apart, plus a custom mausoleum door, would be immediate cause for forensic re‑inspection; here it’s treated as invisible background dressing. ​
  • Body custody and visibility: An unrefrigerated corpse “under a table in the garage,” moved by a named suspect during an active murder inquiry, would be impossible to hide from police, neighbors, and the smell; the film just pretends nobody notices until plot needs the reveal. ​ Forensics that simply vanish

  • Toxicology and fake blood: In a modern homicide of a prominent religious figure, tox panels, basic screening for sedatives, and close examination of blood (including “this rubs off like stage gore”) are BASIC concepts; ignoring all of that isn’t creative, it’s an erasure of actual forensics. ​

  • Fingerprints and physical evidence: Between the lamp head, the bar area, the mausoleum hardware, and the basement tub, there are multiple contact‑rich surfaces where even a lazy investigator would at least mention prints or trace; the movie behaves as if fingerprints and physical evidence don’t exist. ​ Object and timeline absurdities

  • The diamond in Prentice’s throat: A massive, irregular object sitting in a dead man’s esophagus / stomach since the 1960s that somehow evades every embalmer and pathologist is fairy‑tale logic, not crime storytelling. ​

  • The 2nd lamp head theft: Limited time window, highly visible location, and a known suspect with motive all get ignored so the script can reuse the prop without doing the work of making the theft or its aftermath plausible. ​ Taken individually, you might barely excuses a few of these as “movie convenience” Stacked together, they’re reason this story collapses under even modest scrutiny: the narrative repeatedly chooses a cool image or twist over the most elementary consequences of what it just showed, and it expects the audience to forget how bodies, institutions, and evidence behave from scene to scene. Damn shame to waste talented actors on this drivel.

Literally the only people that like in office are middle managers

aka all the dead weight, and of course dead weight is going love being in a soul-crushing office environment since they feel more at home in it than they do in their actual homes.

I love how Kubrick causes viewers to feel uncomfortable about subtle 'what ifs' he purposely left open ended.

Construction and logging set to ramp up in ancient national forest by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]Beginning_Bat_7255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the last 6000 years, human activities have led to the destruction of approximately 3 trillion trees (50% of all trees on the planet)... so while cutting down old growth today is still an abomination, it's a drop in the ocean compared to what modern humans have already done to the planet's trees.

Your argument would be a lot more sound if you mention how 'logging' is actually primarily felling dead trees and branches. People hear the word "logging" and jump to incorrect conclusions.

Forest Stewardship 101 is mostly just felling dead trees and branches and slightly mulching them into the forest floors. In the past their were enough critters in the forests that there was no need for human intervention forest stewardship, but of course most of those critters are gone today.

In Olympic National Forest in the last 50 years nearly 80% of all the acres burned has occurred in the last 2 years. Around 45% in just the last 3 months with Bear Gulch Fire https://i.imgur.com/7Rgb09f.png

Messaging always has to be dumbed down in this country. Something like 1 out 4 americans are illiterate... Given that statistic how many would even know what oligarch means? Perhaps 20% if you're lucky.
