discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[todasubaseesmia]

Heresy!

I emigrated from a cold country to South Texas when I got headhunted for a job.

Wifey and I sold our house, cars and whatever didn't fit in a 20' container, sent the kids to the orphanage and went over.
Fifty years of freezing our asses off was enough, thank you very much.
We consider ourselves climate refugees.

You're just feeling liberated after dropping off those kids at the orphanage, think of all the time and money you saved!

Yeah I cannot do that here, its so insanely humid I'd get to the office and my shirt would be absolutely soaked through. Part of it is that I just sweat a good bit, but also the humidity is wild. I was on a business trip to Arizona not too long ago and I was walking around in 100 degree heat in my suit but it wasn't nearly as bad.

Still looking forward to fall, get to layer more and wear colors that suit me better, can't wait.

Seriously... how do lawyers and such wear a full suit to work in 100degree heat?
I would heat stroke in 10 minutes. There is no way I could walk from my car to the courthouse and still look presentable. How do some people have such good temperature control? Is it like a superpower?

I also always did a lot of that. Bonk and I were both some of the original low-effort post enforcers in the previous lurker thread.


This is an awesome image! I love it! Brilliant work there!

You're one of the early backreading team, gotta be in the lurker legion! Welcome! (yes, I know we have others that need to be in there as well).


I've been running awards, contests, etc. for many months now. I give out plenty of coins.

If you make images through 3 modeling, ai generation, etc. you can enter those art contests.

But I don't have that many LC coins. I've got way less than others. No need to check on that...

Welcome back!

Gonna have to mix it more up, I guess.
Hi mime!

 

[toroidal]

With all 375 of them?

<3 lol !
For now I got a little inflatable pool. From there I will upgrade to those back-yard plastic frame thingys and so on.

It's a process.

Did you pick that gif by accident or did your subconscious remember this one?

In all honesty it depends. A lot of climates will let you get away with it, its also shocking what a choice of fabric can do, a typical midweight wool suit is going to be miserably hot but there are lightweights made for summer that will help a lot. Even so there is only so much you can do and in many places you're just out of luck. I think if I lived somewhere hot and dry though I could make it work with appropriate fabric choices.

Here though, in 90+ degree heat with insanely high humidity, no amount of anything is making it work.

I found out how this works on a business trip to Kuala Lumpur. I was a little late so I walked somewhat briskly to the hotel where the event was. I didn't stop sweating until two hours later, even inside in a very AC'd room.

I had previously noticed and wondered why everyone out and about walked soooo sloooow. The Penny dropped then.

 

[kurgan]

Yeah I prefer fall, especially because I live in a hot climate and also I like to dress nicely and during summer you can't really wear anything nice or you'll be miserable its just shorts and short sleeved shirts everyday and it gets really boring.

I feel you, I can't even dress a sleeved shirt inside home because of this hellish hot. I don't know why, every time I'm close of one of my windows I get funny faces of the passers-by.

Shoulda just went to buy cigarretes. You missed on a pretty cool possible revenge storyline in 10-20 years.
Might need to do it all over again to unlock it.

Hope y'all are having a great day today!

Hey man, when I work from home, I just sit in my underwear at my desk and bask in the GLORIOUS air conditioning.

 

[conzibald]

I'm not the one who needs to worry, the fresh holes are. Conz and I have a understanding, I can get him excited if there are holes to plunder. If not he can turn on me ( DO NOT REVERSE LAST 2 WORDS )

do i need to remind your holes what has happened a few times and will happen many, many times more ^^

I hear you.
I am merely imagining the two layer covering of a shirt and jacket and am freaking out in just the thought. But I guess I'm just the bad end of the spectrum when it comes to heat tolerance. And I can definetly see humidity having a huge impact on things fun extremely dull fact: the reason this matters is humidity affect your skin surface wetness evaporation rates. when it's humid, your sweat can't evaporate as efficiently and the process can't cool your skin down. When it's dry, it may be hot, but convection rate is higher so a light breeze can help.

This incidentally is why swamp coolers work in dry climates but NOT in wet climates.
(please don't ban me for being boring)

The orphanage thing is an attention getter joke. Truth is they were all over 21 and couldn't be added to the visas anyway.

I'm an old man now and I love to talk about boring shit like ambient temperature, post without limits IMO, I won't let them ban you

Don't wear the jacket, bring an extra shirt and change in the bathroom once you get where you're going. In my case I left a few suits in the office and switched them out every few days. In my case the 80+ degree weather was only for a few weeks though.

That sounds great! I'm planning to move out, so I don't feel like investing in an AC.

(please don't ban me for being boring)

Don't worry, nobody is going to ban you for talking about the sufferings of summer! This is a friendly place with an open mix of topics.

Spoiler: lil quote wall :P

A little embarrassing but i just learned about the bank

sorry about that, I'm remaking the coin thread. I still don't think the bank is even worth it if you don't have at least 50k, because one single post here can get you around 60 coins and you don't need to stress yourself with collecting interest every day

The pattern is clear at this point. The rug will be pulled. P5 will be a thing with further content sequestration. Then P6, and so on.

We need all the badges that it fills up the postbit.

Made the The Fosters, Fosters: Back 2 School and Our Island. The 1st two are in Games+, Our Island was deleted by developer

Oh. I liked Our Island.

I liked his first game, and had Our Island on the list to check out but never got around to it. Guess I won't get the chance now since he nuked the whole thread

hmm, we have the original and a copy, but I'm not sure why the thread is still deleted. I'll talk with the boys, sorry (of course I can give you the links if you just want the game, just DM me, but the thread should be back soon)

So is this the place to farm likes? If i have to produce quality shitposts for LC I'm doomed.

You see what you got wrong by now right?

oh god, mime is corrupting everyone

What do you guys even do with all your LC riches?

dude, I have no idea where those coins came from, I was just having fun and suddenly those numbers kept increasing, sometimes I give them to people who seem cool
