    Goldilocks zone is basically just where life can survive.

    Even if we stay within the Goldilocks zone doesn’t mean that most of the species alive today won’t go extinct because it fucks up the seasons or the magnetic poles or tilt of the earth, etc.

    I think there’s maybe more risk with the solar system being thrown off balance with other gravitational forces pulling things out of orbit. Even if earth just gets pulled away from the sun a little we are screwed. Or even the moon pulled away from earth somewhat.




  • I love winter when it’s a real winter. I think most people who hate winter live in an area where they only get half winters.

    When each day is generally -5 to -10 degrees celsius, and you have a constant layer of snow around everywhere for a solid 2-3 months, is when winter is my favourite season of the year

    But when you have an average temperature of -1 degrees to 5 degrees, and you get random flurries on snow that melt and freeze constantly, then occasional freezing rain and hail, that’s when winter sucks.


  • Autumn is better than spring.

    Spring has too much melting snow from winter and hasn’t warmed up enough, so it’s always cold and damp.

    In autumn the ground is still bone dry from the what of the summer, so even when it rains it just soaks into the ground and you’re good. Then the heat of the summer is still around as it slowly cools into winter, so you still get warm days and cool nights.





  • Americas entire culture around guns needs to change, not just a little bit more training and education.

    People who misuse guns don’t respect them or the power they yield. They views them as toys, and more often than not fuck around and find out.

    Teaching them how to lock a gun up and telling them it’s important won’t change behaviours until people start to respect guns and fear them. Not casually pose with them for Christmas cards with their grandbaby in the room.

    Ugh I love being absolutely loaded up with covers from toes to chin, but yes it can’t be on a hot summer’s day with no AC.

    Love me a good cold winter’s night with the windows wide open and the floor fan blasting wind right into my face though.

    Yeah I do no think mansplaining is not a thing that happens, it absolutely is and is incredibly annoying and insulting.

    I just don’t like how people assume someone is misogynistic and mansplaining because of a single comment on the internet and get all accusatory.

    It is more of a thing that you need to witness a person doing multiple times to women in order to definitely make an opinion of that person.

    If it were a YouTuber that constantly does it in multiple videos then ya fair, throw that in the comments all you want.

    In this case though it’s jumping the gun a little bit.

    The thing I don’t like about the mansplaining accusation is it makes lots of men out to be sexist/misogynistic when they are really just pedantic twits that very well could have commented the same stupid thing to a man. But because it was to a woman someone has to accuse them of being sexist too.

    Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of sexist assholes, but just assuming it to be the case off a single comment irks me.
