Yeah, because combating climate change doesn’t make money

Don’t you understand? He can’t risk any scratches on his pwecious wittle twuck

Good. I hope they achieve far more in the future, it would be a net benefit for everyone, even those who dislike them and their politics

That’s wild. My release day joycons drift like a bitch, but I have never once had an issue with my pro controller. I didn’t even know the pro controller could have drifting issues tbh

Yeah they’d fill should’ve upgraded the processor for the OLED switch, and I totally agree about the joycon situation. I was more talking about the screen, Nintendo easily could’ve made the first Gen switch OLED but they didn’t.

This heatwave is FAKE NEWS buddy why is it going to almost hit 100 today in New England

Tried em, they don’t fix the issue long term. Eventually it’ll creep back and I’m stuck with the same issue again.

I hope Nintendo actually makes this a huge step up from the Switch we’ve had since 2017. The OLED switch was nice, but it’s what the switch should’ve been from day one.

Oh and dear lord PLEASE let them fix the joycon issues. I would love to play my switch more in handheld mode but because both of my joycons have drift, it’s impossible to play in anything but docked mode with a pro controller.

That’s climate change for you. The extremes become more extreme, the weather can fluctuate near daily, and you can have events exactly like you described.

Yep, same here. The smoke was so bad there for a while, I’m glad that has subsided.

When I look at the weather app on my phone and it tells me of an “excessive heat warning”…. Yeah.

Oh of fucking course they want to dismantle what few fucking climate policies we have in this country. God forbid the EPA says you can’t dump your shit water in natural mountain springs so we don’t contaminate our drinking water. How DARE we want to attempt to lessen the impact of climate change on our planet so that future generations just might not have to live in an unlivable world.

Gotcha yeah, sorry about that lol. Maybe I’ll edit my original comment to be a little clearer

The FTC hasn’t had a spine in decades, I doubt anything will come of this. It would be nice for once if the government actually gave a shit about monopoly busting, but they don’t care anymore. Not when corporations are legally allowed to bribe the ones making legislation, oh and also companies can be people now

I don’t understand what you’re getting at. In case my original comment wasn’t clear, I was (I guess too subtly) pointing out the problematic and racist origins of the blue lives matter phrase

Somehow, that makes perfect sense. I’m not even a little surprised by that

It would take millions, if not billions of people to band together and make drastic changes for there to be any measurable difference. The largest offenders are all mega corporations that simply put quarterly profits over ensuring their impact on the planet is minimal. Without those corporations changing their business models permanently, no individuals lifestyle choices will ever matter more than a small fraction of a percentage point.

Hasn’t this been known about for decades at this point that with less and less polar ice the ocean currents will be less and less effective? But as per usual when it comes to climate change, no one that could make an actual difference gave a shit, so now we’re seeing what scientists have warned about for decades. It fucking sucks having to be here, seeing all of this transpire, knowing that you’re helpless to stop it

Just make informed choices. Want to visit Death Valley! That’s great! It’s a beautiful park worth seeing. But don’t go in the middle of summer, go in fall or winter when the daytime peak temperatures will be much more comfortable.

If you MUST go in the summer, plan ahead. Bring several gallons of water with you per person, plenty of sunscreen, ideally a hat and sunglasses, and lightweight, breathable clothing that won’t trap your sweat and body heat. And on top of that, make sure your car is up to date with maintenance and can comfortably drive when the temperature outside is 110+. To have all bases covered, it would also be worth investing in a satellite phone- not all national parks have cellular coverage. In my experience, cell service is extremely spotty to non-existent inside of national parks.

And Yellowstone doesn’t even get that hot! Well, unless you tried to jump into one of the thermal features. Then it’s extremely hot.
