Now that you've stumbled upon this hole, drop some random thoughts, vents, test posts, or anything that does not break instance rules. I hate moderating, don't make me work.

... in February...

I don't understand the planet anymore, and I don't think it understands itself, either. Like it's caught in the throes of the worst gaslighting it ever received. Like it's been reduced to a gibbering mess.

February is the coldest month of the northern hemisphere. Snowing is expected. Of all the crazy ass new weather patterns we have now, this ain't one.

Grass isn't supposed to be lush and green at this point, though.

Depends on where you are.

Some places have green grass through the winter, and snow.

Yeah. Not around here, can tell you that much.

In short, way too much grass, way too little snow for this time of year around these parts.

I'm starting to honestly wonder if this isn't a deeper problem. Too many things have gone wrong too fast.

Guys, I don't think it's just humanity. I think we might actually be living in a simulation. One that's starting to encounter coding errors.

Honestly, I think greed is deep enough to cover it. Not trying to be dramatic or pithy with this, just that unchecked greed has pushed every system in direct contact with it to the breaking point, from climatic to social.

And the world as we know it is a very, very complex system, which is now cascading under the weight of its own inertial downfall, with subsystems feeding into eachother's failure.

It's a domino effect. We barely understood the implications of each piece before everything started falling apart, and now the distance between us and understanding is increasing as things are accelerating.
