For this bad advice I am sentencing you to spend a full summer in the rural American south, where it's 38 C with 100% humidity in the middle of the night, with no ability to feed yourself other than baking bread and cooking. I'd love to see you eschewing your dryer to hang your clothes out on a clothesline, in air that has more water in it than the wet clothes do.
It is like when I tried the travel advice to wash my clothes in my hotel room sink. Well in East Asia the humidity is so high and the AC in the rooms so weak that my clothes would just be soaking wet in the morning. I think that only works if you are vacationing in, say, Arizona.
Maybe don't settle in a bordering uninhabitable climate
it wasn’t a hundred years ago
I guess my comment wasn't outrageous enough to be clearly identified as sarcasm... Should've used the /s for good measure.
In this day when you have MAGA and fascism pushing in all over the world where it can, no outrageous comment can be taken as sarcasm when many people actually mean it.
/s is mandatory now methinks.
Yup. Nothing is too outrageous for someone to truly mean it online anymore.
Ah yes... because we are responsible for our entire multi-generational family tree settling in an area a hundred or more years ago... and we should just be okay completely bailing on the area where everyone close to us has ever lived... where we have connections... OH also, it's totally not insanely expensive to find a place away from where you have always lived... you know... where the cost of living is cheaper because it is crappier than somewhere nice..., which also means then the deck is stacked against you moving somewhere nicer is even harder because a better place is more cost prohibitive by the nature that it is just a more desirable place to live.
We already have bad enough housing issues, Mass abandoned me the entire Cities by Köppen climate type would make it dramatically worse
