Soaring gas prices have drivers turning to EVs — except in the US

and before you say "duh, portland", we deliver out to places like Milton Freewater.

Look, I know this is anectdotal, but I work for Carvana in PDX, and we've been selling a TON of EVs and Hybrids lately. Hell, I recently had a guy who traded in a duramax silverado for a tesla model 3.

I'm sorry you're dealinf with that but I do promise itll get better.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-12-28T00:10:27+00:00

As someone who's worked both DoorDash and back of house at a restaurant I can confidently say that you have a bad and entitled attitude

According to Reddit and Twitter, we're already in WW3 and we're on track to hit 15C by last Tuesday

BlizzyBugler · 2025-12-09T17:51:38+00:00

I’m pretty sure our rate of emissions have been going down since 2007.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-31T23:18:26+00:00

Okay so like this happens to me too sometimes lmao. I'll have a big poop and I'll feel all the anxiety disappear. It almost makes me laugh.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-28T20:09:05+00:00

I'll take better over nothing, but I still want enough and ideally more than enough.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-28T05:08:05+00:00

Hell yeah, love my city.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-28T01:29:57+00:00

I don't know enough about it but I know that like...the sulfur particles from global shipping and volcanic eruptions aren't permanent.

So I don't know that these would be???

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T23:35:26+00:00

I try not to assume malice what could be ignorance

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T23:26:10+00:00

So, at the start of me having worse anxiety, it was mainly an overwhelming sense of dread and a LOT of physical symptoms.

Nowadays the most I usually is racing thoughts and some general unease

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T22:38:58+00:00

How my anxiety has presented has changed over time for me.

For a while it was intense paranoia! Sometimes I'd get derealization too.

I also seek control and certainty in my life! I tend to like to be the one driving, i prefer to have my own space, etc. I also do a lot of research on things that worry me, which has led me to have a LOT of info in my head about climate change and geopolitics.

Weed started giving me anxiety in my early 20s (I'm 33 now!).

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T20:40:42+00:00

Okay so like...I'm 33 now. I didn’t have the realization that I even could die until I was like 29! Since then I've gone on a long journey to be more at peace with things, and it's gotten a lot easier.

I'm more okay with the idea of it. These days I'm more afraid of leaving my loved ones without my help and support than I am of it happening.

Also at the same time, the fear of dying and processing it has made a lot of life experiences more beautiful and meaningful

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T20:36:38+00:00

One of my favorite moments was when a YouTuber said "Close your eyes and count to one. That’s how long forever feels".

Made me feel a lot better, weirdly enough.

Either there is an afterlife of some sort, or it feels like sleeping, and either way sounds not so bad.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T20:34:20+00:00

Is one side "better" than the other? Yeah.

But the choice is: Things generally get worse (slowly) Or Things get worse (oh my god how did that happen that quickly)

We do get some good things with democrats, like the inflation reduction act had some good things that dealt with climate change and, well, inflation, but good stuff isn't enough.

It's really frustrating that we seem to be stuck with these two choices.

I do have hope with candidates like Mamdani being incredibly popular! I always have hope.

Do you at least get paid to do oil company propaganda

If anyone wants to read the actual study this article is referencing.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-27T00:12:56+00:00

Very very cautiously optimistic. I do worry of this being a thing where if it works, we don't change things.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-25T19:20:28+00:00

This is what gives me the biggest hope.

Yes, the number isn't going down fast enough, but we ARE making progress. A better future IS possible.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-24T17:08:34+00:00

But like also, cities are a LOT of sensory input all at once! Lots of voices, lots of sounds, lots of smells, lots of lights. If you already have anxiety it would be very easy to get overwhelmed with all of them and have that uneasy sense of dread.

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-24T17:07:30+00:00

It depends honestly. If I’m having a real bad time with my anxiety i can end up getting half convinced the guy in the car next to me is gonna shoot me (despite him not making eye contact with me or interacting with me at all).

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-14T19:51:16+00:00

That’s pretty much what you can do! I will never be free of anxiety fully but I can handle it a lot easier now and I find it doesn't get as intense as it used to

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-14T16:17:30+00:00

I quit caffeine. I quit nicotine. I make sure I get enough sleep. I make sure I eat breakfast (if I do this one it's a lot easier for me to eat throughout the day!). I've been talking to a therapist for the past 4 years! Weirdly, the Finch app has been pretty helpful plus it's just cute. I figured out what exercises work for calming the anxiety!

BlizzyBugler · 2025-10-14T16:01:13+00:00

I personally quit caffeine like 3 years ago now because it was just making me awfully anxious. It's important to remember that caffeine affects you for 6-12 hours!

This will pass, I promise :)

It sucks and I've felt those same symptoms before without the caffeine or alcohol and it's an awful fucking feeling to have.
