  • Check out American Defaultism. It’s what you’re describing.

    But back onto the cycle…

    America cops it. Their droughts and hurricane seasons are literally fuelled by the cycle .Hell, the last bad event a Need For Speed car was named after it.

    Countries far north or south of the equatorial line obviously it’s less, as with the West Indian and Mediterranean, but even then, itheyre still impacted pretty bad in their own way.

    I dunno, I’ve lived around this planet a lot and even in Iceland it’s common knowledge.

    I put blue painters tape down as a visual boundary line for my dogs to learn not to cross as puppies.

    Only takes a couple weeks of praise training, then the tape is gone.

    If I can manage to accidentally drop a knife and cutmy foot or burn myself in the kitchen, they’re fucked. I’ve seen a person carry a stew from stove to counter and trip over their eager pet standing behind them. It went badly for both.

    It’s easy to teach a cat boundaries. Praise reinforcement is the way If they’re curious, let them know their curiosity is only ever rewarded by a treat given in one spot and one spot only. Otherwise put them in hi-vis and hope nothing bad happens for 14 years 🤷







  • Dave. We ate too many shrooms, you look like a cat. And I got you into Linux, remember? Your fringe looks annoying as hell to live with. I’m gonna get a beer… DAVE! COME LOOK AT THE CARPET!..Look, it’s like symmetrical craters…Now you look like a baseball team’s mascot.

    I travel a fair bit and one of the most embarrassing things is that I’m monolingual. Something like 4-5 BILLION people are 2+ languages. And then there’s me from a rich nation with a solid education, trying my best to speak the local language, just to have the other person step in with perfect English out of pure sympathy.

    But, hey, people love that you make the effort. It’s like the joy of seeing a 3 year-old count to 10…except you’re an adult trying to say, “Could I have two, please?”

    “Oh! That was very good!”

    3 year-old grin on my adult face
