I went to a conference in Vancouver 3 years ago and stepped out for 3 hours to have gay sex with a local in town. I had to take a ferry near the convention center to the north to get to where he lived. Now that guy lives in New Jersey, apparently working for the EPA. I guess I glad he got out though we haven't spoken in years. Other memories include that I accidentally stole a tube of toothpaste from the homeless man sharing the hostel room I was staying in when packing my things to leave. He was really annoying and constantly trying to talk to me but he didn't deserve to lose his toothpaste. I still have it in a bag somewhere. I haven't had the heart to either use it or throw it away. That is my Vancouver story. I wonder if I'll ever go there again.

It's been pretty wild in BC this year and will probably get way more intense but tbh after 30 years in FL and 5 in BC I wouldn't think of going back for a second. I'd just much rather go through this poo poo here with these people than anywhere else I've ever been with any other folks. So if we get all of the climate change craziness first then so be it.

Mayor Dave posted:i moved from california to the pnw based partly on the assumption that things would remain stable here longer than they would down there lucky. it probably will. ca is still in a big rear end drought and burning down. pretty much one big heat wave and massive power outage/dry taps from pure chaos. pnw will also burn down tho i hope you at least picked like olympia or something

Rime posted:In a little over five months BC has experienced: if it’s any solace, it was a lot worse at the beginning of the current interstitial period. when the last of the 2 mile high glaciers in North America would slowly melt in enormous lakes before shattering themselves open, dumping more water on the pnw in hours than has ever flowed in the Mississippi, carving geological features that should take millions of years in days. throwing 100 foot round boulders from Canada to Oregon. at least the roads washing out aren’t as bad right? right?

lmao I was going to move to Vancouver before covid hit, borders closed a week before I was set to travel. one of the reasons was to be in a better place for this whole climate change thing. dodged a bullet there I think

i don't think i've seen anyone post about this, but my mind's been on plastic and i remembered condoms are (usually) plastic so we pretty much gently caress each other with plastic too lol  Mayor Dave posted:yeah this guy may be a little too chill see, you guys? you see? it's gonna be ok after all Alobar has issued a correction as of 10:33 on Nov 16, 2021 |

Wtf who told you that? Nowhere in the USA is good to be for climate change. Move to a country with a low and relatively unarmed population. Could you imagine being stuck on a continent full of Americans when the world is falling part? Terrifying.

BaldDwarfOnPCP posted:People ITT did say that the UP or whatever was a relatively stable climate area. If you don't count the great lakes bouncing around between flood and drought. every time this conversation comes up people are usually talking about the general temperature increase and the day-to-day effects from that. In the 3c world we are headed for (Area) will have (Variables) that makes it better than (Other Area.) That's why all of these "Safe" areas usually start in northern latitudes with a bunch of fresh water that are currently not densely populated. Then you just pick your flavor (Pacific West / Central Lakes / East Atlantic) and try not to think about how all of these cold damp old growth forests are going to handle the multi-year droughts that are coming. When the weather patterns are destabilized and are rapidly changing from month to month then it's just a diceroll. I'm not sure how long it will take to settle into the new lovely normal that makes all of that raw data like +Latitude +Water -Population work in a raw +Temperature world. Sure hope this isn't the new normal though because there is just zero way to deal with it. Jet stream dies one year? The PNW might get ocean winds and the East Atlantic might get some air moving but the Central Lakes are going to be 110F+ for a month or two. The East Atlantic might get hit by a Category 6 hurricane. The PNW will apparently get apocalyptic flooding and heat domes. Either way if the square states lose a year of crops sitting in a relatively mild 90F spring doesn't really do much for you. Rectal Death Adept has issued a correction as of 13:01 on Nov 16, 2021 |

Checking in from the Pacific Northwest. I live just south of the border with Canada. We got 4.5” of rain in 36 hours. There’s nowhere for the water to go, and the city’s wastewater plant is maxed out on capacity and can’t drain it any faster. Schools were closed yesterday and are closed again today. Roads are closed all over town. I-5 is closed just south of town, as are all reasonable detours, which royally fucks a lot of international freight that passes through here. I live on a hill, so I guess I’m lucky. Edit: Looks like they just reopened one direction of I-5. https://twitter.com/wsdot_north/status/1460594880690884610?s=21 Bob Socko has issued a correction as of 14:57 on Nov 16, 2021 |

With every new example of how disastrous and rapid the climate shift is I just want to thank Barack Obama for doing the most to fight climate change of any president in my lifetime. He reflected a shitload of sunlight by turning Syrian hospitals and weddings into ash clouds.
