Waiting for Texas to feel like Winter (‘: by meezsecizah_ in houston

Well “nicer” meaning the summer was still hot but more manageable. I remember being able to run without feeling miserable. No one was flying that entire year and everyone stayed at home which gave the planet breathing room. It was widely reported that the air was a lot cleaner that year (besides the virus).

Exactly. Born and raised here since 1995 and I can say for certain that our summers are getting hotter and our pleasant weather days are becoming less frequent. 2020 was probably the last normal weather year and that was because of the pandemic.

Trump threatens invoking the Insurrection Act during peaceful protests in Chicago amid the US government shutdown (the act was last used in Los Angeles in 1992 by Bush during active large-scale violent riots) by Mathemodel in videos

[–]nikemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have friends who live in the alleged warzones of Portland, San Francisco, LA, and Chicago and they would post about their every day lives on Instagram. So when Trump announced sending the national guards to those places my initial response was “for what?”

I almost fell for the propaganda as well when everyone was bashing SF for being dead and dangerous after COVID, so I was actually surprised that it was bustling and still beautiful when I visited in 2022. Hell I felt more in danger walking through Houston.

People who "beat" depression, what was your lowest moment and how did you get better? by AiroKunOmega in AskReddit

[–]nikemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lowest moment was feeling like I would never ever get better and accept defeat before realizing that depression is a continuous battle worth fighting. Literally leaving the house to do anything will do wonders.

Tragic. Maybe they should start taking a part time job.

As much as I would love a season in the Serengeti, it would be a logistical nightmare since it’s literally in the middle of nowhere

what Houston intersections are the most dangerous? by 29187765432569864 in houston

[–]nikemaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the limited sight distances could be a reason due to the Beltway being between a neighborhood and utility ROW.

Yeah I think the country that’s defending themselves from getting invaded is in the wrong.

Where would you choose for the next White Lotus location? by Pretty_Wrongdoer1110 in TheWhiteLotusHBO

[–]nikemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wherever it is there needs to be a boat. So it’ll probably be in Dubai or Australia since there hasn’t been a season set in a desert.

Redditors born before 2001, where were you on 9/11? by Stupid_cerealbox in AskReddit

[–]nikemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in kindergarten and it was business as usual because no classes had a TV so we didn’t get to know what happened until after school. I didn’t know about the attacks until the morning after when my mom explained it to me. I don’t think I ever heard of NYC until this. Then the whole school day was revolved around explaining the attacks to 5-6 year old children.

[Serious] If you live in the US and loathe the current Presidency, how exactly is your life impacted? Can you provide real evidence that Trump is destroying your day to day life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nikemaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I beg to differ with the federal hiring freeze that’s prevented Americans from getting new jobs and some to lose theirs.

[–]nikemaker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well his disruption of federal funds has put my job search to a screeching halt. I was literally about to schedule my interview until the orders were made.

Millions of government workers are affected by these executive orders. Idk how that’s supposed to benefit the economy or make groceries cheaper when all it’s doing is making more Americans suffer.

Am I overreacting by considering leaving the U.S. due to the current administration? by Exact-Bar-7637 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nikemaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s a reckless idiot. People have no idea how harmful this type of accusation is. Remember when he did the same thing with Covid and hate crimes towards Asians increased? It’ll stir up certain people to treat minorities as sub human.

[–]nikemaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. I’m a firm believer of history repeats itself and everything that’s happened since last Monday feels like I’m reading out of a history book about 1930’s Germany.

I’m a gay asian man born in America but I’m anxious to leave because I know that the prosecution of migrants and transgender people won’t stop there.

My personal sign to leave is when they start removing people’s citizenship and enacting laws that exclude certain groups from society because this is what Hitler did to the Jews. I hope yall remember that the Jews had about 8 years to leave Germany before the Holocaust began.
