My ex owned the last car I drove. She did not have a license, so I was pretty much the only person to ever drive in the house. Now I’m out of her house, so no more car. I’m walking everywhere in an extremely car dependant area, there’s public transport it just sucks ass. However, I’m liking the walking. The more I do it, the less I even think about it. My ass is gonna look great, I can still get pretty much everything I care about within walking distance, life is good.

    In some ways, places like Florida have it better off than more Northern climes that are now blanketed with heatwaves. The infrastructure and culture have already adapted to living under brutal heat so they are better prepared for it. Every indoor space is blasted with AC and everyone has relaxed dress codes. But now you’ve got regions in Europe that rarely ever saw 90 degree heat having to suffer through prolonged weeks of it and people are dying in droves. There were over 60,000 deaths attributed to heat last summer across Europe!
