Driving does suck more than it used to—- too many people on the road near us, and MORE asshats. Seriously. The last two years have been worse. I drive, he doesn’t.

This immigrant had made the best of some crap land he had been sold, hard pan made it not suited for growing, the summer heat sucked, so he excavated underneath the hard pan, started an orchard and had really cool digs. <br/>So, my summer, heatwave fantasies are either redwoods and ferns or caves and underground dwellings. <br/>Worth looking at some of their videos of his house!

Indulged a lot before my current partner, mindlessly. Spent the last 10 years adapting to no A/C, as much as My body and mind could. It&#39;s never been enjoyable in the 90 degree-100 degree temps in the summer. It is nice to know how dependant we get with it, and how capable the body is to adapt, but having grown up without central heat or AC in California, and how my parents coped.... <br/><br/>A) global warming is obvious and my 51 years on this planet has let me see the changes. <br/>B) some people have health issues, or genetic bodies that need Cooler. <br/>C) our capitalist society and bad architecture doesn&#39;t help with heat waves. We can&#39;t fix that immediately. I think our 1940s quicky track house wasn&#39;t designed for this heat. <br/><br/>So, here I am with mega allergies, recovering from a pulmonary event, REALLY enjoying the AC in the vets office. My body is happy, my sinuses are happy. <br/>For the record - I love fresh air, and would also love houses and offices to NOT be so airtight, or have better design to be energy efficient with AC, and also able to open for passive heating and cooling. <br/><br/>#GlobalWarming #HeatWave #California #chronicIllness 2026-03-17T19:06:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsd3zhuwdrnwkvfp3alwf7d0fyevvscp29s6u4g7v9cwmk6uzh6hfgzyrt3wgz5t48f3rghkujhdxqcqwvtf8rtxsrwzgu24l6v7nlf4pl6s6uu5lk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvkcapd5f65us32crrcgldcqujuuwyrtxm9p658442sw5lu9fr8kcns4sxv'>nevent1q…4sxv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>the spending time alone is a hard one. When you are in the schools system with 30-40 hours of mandatory rigid learning, you REALLY needs the down time. And if your family is cool at that age you may have had a LOT of alone time, the younger generations maybe less so. You still need. It as an adult even if you&#39;ve managed to find a better setup with work and tolerable conditions, at home as an adult, sometimes mandatory adulting keeps you from having that needed solitude, especially if you reproduce. I don&#39;t know where I was going with all that. It&#39;s just complicated. Nobody, child or adult, has enough reparative downtime (while healthy) these days. 2026-03-10T03:01:52Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsznhufnf43qm8jdk72ugx3pt6gwxlhf6fu9msezcrhu9and9rvlaqzyrt3wgz5t48f3rghkujhdxqcqwvtf8rtxsrwzgu24l6v7nlf4pl6sztq5ky Moth.

The ones that do either were capable and had the drive right out of college to get it, or later able to get it after their kids were grown and supported by a cishet tech husband (or the like). Life is so not linear for some of us, lol. <br/>I only went becuase the daughter of an old woman I took care of, as a scruffy purple haired teen, passed away while I was with her. Her daughter was married to a Brandeis professor, so they got me into the University via the TYP, transitional year program, for non-standard students (basically the ones who weret college ready or came from other walks of life and needed a year of catch up, with a few regular classes). the TYP program is still there. Anyway. I floundered, had depression and didn&#39;t know it, and not reason family support. Every semester I wanted to quit. I made it through though. And I wish I could do it again with social support, a better idea of reality- and taken advantage of all the school offered. God, then actually folled up and gone into museum studies, or one of the other programs that I was interested in, got into, and bailed on. :( I think learning as an older person kicks ass.

Just an egotistical Prof who didnt teach us anything except talk about landmines.

I totally get that. Whether it’s water usage (shorter showers!!!!!) or electricity (unplug vampire devices) or AI …. when what we use is a fraction to what big companies use without consequence. I think it was surprise to be reminded that running the internet, Wi-Fi, online services all take something…. It’s not enerergyless, magically running. <br/>And then I thought of my habits since 2005 when I first had a computer in my home, a smart phone, YouTube, etc. on it not a whole lot to now, 20 years later, thoroughly indulging in nearly constant device and streaming access, times a zillion other users. It would be nice to see an info graphic of usage, and hidden costs/environmental impacts for the last 30 years. Could still be a drop in the bucket, but it makes a better consumer to know. <br/>Personally, I love the internet. But I miss the analog alternatives that filled the void too. Those had hidden value as well (think white bread vs whole grain seeded bread). <br/><br/>I would choose minimal AI. I should choose less internet and movie consumption. I would prefer analog media and choice. And fucking real push buttons and dials. lol. I sound like my 80 year old dad talking about why he can’t let go of his 20 turntables he’s collected. 2025-08-24T15:56:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspqp8kftghqugdsdhtp9822e8xgrfys57hmh2dv8e8s0wmhyktwnszyrt3wgz5t48f3rghkujhdxqcqwvtf8rtxsrwzgu24l6v7nlf4pl6swhaxc9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdrknsr0den62gsnjhwk9atz6fvcucnfde8aawxnurmzpze5z7mggm75m3m'>nevent1q…5m3m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>omg.
