  • When I was in Jamaica, one of the tour guides pointed out the (former, I think?) house of a celebrity. Apparently, you always knew when the celebrity was in town because, quote, “you could smell them smoking.”

    When he said this, I sincerely thought the guide meant smoking meat until I made a comment about that and everyone started laughing at me.














  • I love the winter, yeah. I admit I don’t walk in the snow much (though I did so two days ago), but I like being in and near it. I mostly don’t walk in it because I have mild PTSD from breaking my ankle in some. I can’t really walk far at all, with or without snow.

    However, I moved across several states and hundreds of miles to experience more of it. The last few months I’ve been sleeping with the window open. Because I like the cold and I like hearing the snow fall.

    I primarily, though not entirely, drive an EV.

    Don’t know what to tell you. I get that this comment might be in jest, but I really dislike it. I think I’m more mad at you than I have been with anyone else on lemmy. I almost considered swearing at you but it’s probably not warranted.

    Uh … Hope you have a good day.


  • I figure, even if I didn’t like the cold - and I do - for the most part, I’m probably only tolerating it from the car to whatever is the destination. That’s generally a pretty short walk - often a lot less than a minute - and I know most public buildings are, as you said, a thousand degrees.

    So during the winter I just wear long pants and short sleeves and endure whichever extreme wherever I must.


  • This is why I moved to a colder area. I know it won’t last, but I can enjoy it a bit longer.

    Shortly after I moved here, I was waiting my turn in a barber shop and chatting with a stranger and told them the same. Their response: "wow, most people don’t move to here for the weather.

    More people should appreciate cold.
