It's worse here so shut up
People, I am tired of hearing about how hot it is in your godforsaken desert town or Southern bog or wherever it was you chose to live that has 115 degree summers. Don't try to play heatmiser with me, I grew up in the Sacramento valley, satan's foyer, where 110 is just another sunny day. But now that I live in Seattle, I am done with the heat. DONE. D. f*&kin' O.N.E. It's 93 degrees today, and supposed to be hotter tomorrow. HOTTER. And here are the reasons why you, dweller in blisteringly hot wasteland of a city, need to shut up about how it is "hotter" where you live than 93 degrees.
1) I live in Seattle. It should be about 70 degrees, at best, on a summer day. This is why we live here. This is part of the contract. On a hot day, we are being CHEATED and LIED TO by god.
2) WE HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING. People, you really need to stop and think about this one. I don't *care* if you have "humidity." Why are you living in a swampy bayou if you don't like humidity? The bottom line is, you go home, flip on the a/c, and you're Pablo the penguin. We here in Seattle go home to muggy, sweaty, gross deadly still stifling 85 degree air inside our homes, day and night, and lie awake cursing Jesus while our babies scream.
3) Because if you don't stop telling me how much "hotter" it is in your home town of Death Valley, etc., I will have you killed.

That said, it's goddam hot here today.
Dude, you live in Seattle. Don't try to play tiny dog.
You don't OWN being hot ya know. I just don't get you Washingtonians. Always whining about the dismal weather, and then when it's sunny, it's "I want my gray day back."
Them's fightin words!!!!
Well sorry 'bout that. It was 109 when I wrote that!!!
it was so hot here today that I had to put my laptop in the refridgerator for a few minutes because the screen was frizzing out it was so hot. of course I realize that the manufacture of said laptop also probably contributed to the greenhouse gasses that are probably partially to blame for this elevated heat wave. I am not sure what my point is as my brain is melting. Maybe time to put it in the fridge for a while...
it was, like, 112 in Davis on saturday. we tried to go paddleboating on lake sonora, but that was a terrible idea. also, the sign in the natural history hut about how the rattlesnakes are 'easily provoked' from april-september gave us second thoughts.
we found a snake-free pool a few blocks from where we were staying that had a 20ft-high waterslide. $2.50 for all the slidin' we could handle. still didn't distract from the fact that we were the only people there over the age of 24 who didn't have kids.

I can't help it that I live in the deep south. Blame that on my parents. That said, I hate the humidity and the heat and plan to move somewhere in your region when I get the chance (college, perhaps?).
Hopefully.
Go to college here, you won't be sorry.
