Current Events > So funny that people are whining about the heat

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is the first nice day in months for me. We are actually sitting in mid 80s and I think that will be the case tomorrow.

We've had 100 degree heat plus humidity for months prior to this but you didn't hear us bitching about it. But once it gets hot on the west coast everyone has to cry about it. Suck it up girls

Feels pretty good to me.

Lol wait... You're actually saying people on the east coast weren't bitching about the heat?! LMAO omg what rock have you been living under?
---

It stinks. In Michigan these hot days are fucking miserable. I would rather it be 10 below than 100.

i prefer the cold weather too but it isn't good for crops. i know certain things are in season one of which is tomatoes and strawberry's.
blueberry's seem to be toward august. i see em go on sale then.

Isn't excessive heat normal for California during, y'know, the summer? Isn't this exactly what people signed up for by living there?

I don't live on east coast. Basically if the coast is hot, then you're going to hear about it. Meanwhile the Midwest is in that heat long before and after the coast has it

And Midwest people bitch more than either of the coasts. But their lives are unquestionably harder so I don't blame them.

This kind of heat isn't normal. Typical Summer days are a hot but tolerable low 90s. The 116s are very unusual and straight up awful.

Having seen plenty of both coasts and defended living in the midwest numerous times on here, I am so confident in my living situation that I don't need to begin yet another ridiculously easy argument (that always ends with the pro-coasters running away). It's just not worth my time to initiate.

I'll let you start with the pro-coast arguments.

(Mind you, don't twist what I'm saying to mean "oh he's too scared to argue at all." That's not the case. I just don't need to start it. I'll happily entertain any pro-coast points you have. I just want you to start.)

Well on top of the oceans and the weather, there's just more to do on the coasts. Iean I really don't know where to start because every single aspect of life is better on the coasts, its the reason those are the places people want to live. So maybe you prefer to be in A flat landlocked state, but the overwhelming majority of people prefer to be on the coasts, so there really isn't an argument to be had here, and your refusal to even make a single argument proves that, despite your man supposed arguments to the contrary which no one is believing actually happened.

You started with oceans and weather. Keep going. Unless that's all you've got, in which case I'll respond.

Don't start and then stop. List everything. Not just "everything is better."

Also idk what "man supposed arguments" are, but I do know that you disagreeing with me does not mean literally "no one believes me." We've been talking for like two seconds. Nobody else has chimed in on that regard yet. So it's a moot point.

Nah I don't have the time for that. But those two things are enough anyways.

LOL alright then, hold this L if ocean and weather is all you got (the latter being the very thing that started this)

Ok sure, so you'll actually make an argument now? Cuz that's all I wanted to see in the first place.

nicklebro posted...

Sure. Let's start with the ocean.

The ocean is, by far, the most overrated aspect of living in or traveling to a particular destination. Let's forget the potentially life-threatening aspects of it (sharks, riptide, breaking your neck while surfing/bodysurfing) and the generally inconvenient aspects of it (overcrowding, sand is awful when you're done for the day, also fucking jellyfish were horrific last time I was there); what you're left with is a very pretty but generally useless body of water that a safer, FAR cheaper, FAR less populated lake can accomplish. Not a small lake, mind you, but a big one. We have a house on Lake Superior for example. It's gorgeous and desolate. Miles of beach, all to yourself.

It's like its own little mini-ocean without all the deadly and inconvenient aspects mentioned above. It's fucking perfect. We can still do everything you do in the ocean, but better! We can boat, sail, jet-ski, fish, play frisbee/football on the beach, all those things, without worrying about other people.

Oh and it's lakefront too. Don't come at me with your oceanfront property. You and I both know you and 99.9% of Americans can't afford oceanfront. We just walk right back to the shower. No getting the cars all shitty with sand and wet stuff. Right into the laundry room. Easy.

Secondly, the weather; this is the only one I generally do cede. Midwest weather, while sometimes exaggerated, can indeed get pretty extreme on both hot and cold sides. My answer is, it's 2018. We aren't dying from heat or cold exposure anymore. Maybe it gets a bit inconvenient when the car is toasty after work (which yours is too), but the cold is the easiest to deal with. One winter coat is all it takes (which brings up a point, wintery snow-related activities that you all never get to sniff with a ten-foot pole).

But at the end of the day, if weather is the reason you choose to live by an expensive and overcrowded tourist trap, then there is no argument to be had, as no logical person makes a decision based on such a small thing alone.

So now that I've massacred your opening points, would you like to continue? Feel free to either A.) Respond to my claims about the ocean/weather, B.) Bring up the other things you had in mind ("there's just so much more to do"), or C.), this being ideal, both!

Lol so your argument is that the ocean sucks and lake Superior is somehow better? Lmao thanks man, that's the laugh I was looking for.

And my much anticipated laugh at your inability to respond to a completely valid and well-constructed case with a wordy way to just say "no u" was appreciated as well.

I'm off for now, I'm getting prime rib at this marina restaurant that would likely cost you 4x as much. I do hope you change your mind and construct an argument of your own when you return. Like I said, I have this argument all the time, so I'm obviously open to it and confident in my stance, whereas you clearly are not. And funny enough, as I mentioned,

Post #15 ITT. I called yet another runaway.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. Don't be another one of those runaways. Build an argument, counter my points, and have a reasonable conversation.
---

You're talking about having a reasonable conversation while arguing lake Superior is better than the Pacific ocean lmao.

Sorry bro, I know you desperately want to be taken seriously, but you just don't deserve to be. You know why it's cheaper where you live? Cuz you get what you pay for. Now run off to your strip mall or whatever you're going to, since there ain't shit else to do in your flyover state lol.

LOL mans over here is shook AF

Can't even defend his turf even though it's supposedly such a slam dunk

Bro as long as this topic is open, consider it an open invitation for you to defend yourself. I'm just being courteous. I mean, I've obviously already got the W since you ran away (like I predicted in post #15 would happen), but since I'm a good sport raised with that midwestern hospitality, I'm happy to give you as much time as you need to do your research to try and construct a case of your own.

Anyways thanks for at least admitting to trolling

I'm sad, I really was looking forward to a good argument

At least I got the W either way!

Ah, the fun weather conversation. People that live in hotter areas talk down to the people that don't, people that live in colder areas talk down to people that don't. It's really a fun conversation to just read through.

Funny thing is, I'm not even trying to talk down to the guy. I'm just trying to have a reasonable conversation.

I've said this before, I'm not here to just blindly rip the ocean for the sake of winning an e-argument. I just want some real insight. But since he couldn't actually provide any, then I have to assume he doesn't have much confidence in his decision to live there.

Well that's subjective. If you're trying to go snowboarding nthat weather sucks. But yeah for the most part you're right. Do you think that it's better to live on the coasts? Do you think lake Superior is even comparable to the Pacific ocean, let alone Superior?

The temperature isn't as important as the humidity. When it's 80 degrees and 95% humid, being outside is a miserable experience. 90 degrees and 40% humidity is a pleasant summer day.

As a Southern Californian, I will damn well complain about the weather. It's gradually becoming the most expensive place to live in the US. There needs to be something that makes it worth it. The overpopulation sure isn't helping either. The biggest saving grace is that we generally have the best weather conditions. Perfect weather majority of the time.

Yeah here in the Midwest it's been 90+ since the second week of May and it's been 93-108 since June started

I work in the elements and have to wear a dust mask, my temperature feels like 125 for 6 hours a day.

It's 90 out today and it's not that bad of you're not having to work hard in it

It was actually 80 last Friday and got down to 70 the next morning, that was fuckin nippy

See, that's something I never understood. How the hell is having the same weather every single day "perfect?" I like a brisk 10 degree January morning. I like a 100 degree August afternoon. Why would you want the weather to be the same... every day?

Ive only ever lived in Florisa so itd be hard to make that comparison.

Will say though that whatever climate Spain has around march/April is pretty good too.
