I just saw something of the likes on IG and I'm going to repeat it : we're not complaining we don't have ACs. We're complaining about CLIMATE CHANGE

You know what increases climate change but most importantly increases local temperatures in cities immediately when you start using them ? ACs. Using ACs also makes it worse for your neighbours who don't have any.

This is not being angry at people who have ACs. If you have to you have to, and if I don't have one it's because I'm a lucky bastard with an old house with thick walls in the middle of the countryside, AND that I've been raised in the south so managing house temperatures is something ingrained in my culture.

But the thing is.

The problem is not wether you use ACs or not. The problem is that people in countries where the weather used to not warrant them using ACs needing them. And I'm not talking needing them to chill, I'm talking needing them so they don't die en masse.

On Wednesday, the state counted 7 deaths related to the heatwave in France. And it's just started ! And it's """""only""""" 37C when we already had heatwaves get to 45-48C before ! It's going to get worse !

And before you whine, yes I know these deaths are mostly drownings and people exercising too much while it's too hot outside. But thing is : this will increase. And you'll have overheating deaths on top. Even I who's very wary of it, had to go out on Monday afternoon and nearly passed out !

We are complaining because this is NOT NORMAL, and it shouldn't be normalized and we shouldn't have to listen to advices from people who live in the fucking Death Valley to survive in our countries that are NOT supposed to have this climate !

I'm trained as an ecologist. I knew this was coming, and I'm still baffled. I've been fighting with climate denialists for a while now.

Also, good advisors, where were you during the Indian heat wave ? That is still ongoing ? Are you going to Indian bloggers and telling them to stop whining when it gets to 50C and to just buy ACs ? Why not ?

Can we stop trying to see who pisses the furthest, and understand that our problem is not thee lack of AC or even the temperatures at a punctual time, but the GLOBAL WARMING of the whole planet that not only creates these heat waves but also increase the number of meteorological catastrophes, disturb oceanic currents that govern most of the global climate one way or another, and will. Kill. Us. All. If we don't do anything (and miss me with the paper straws) ?

But if you guys from the USA are going to keep annoying us about ACs and how poorly we react to heat, allow me one fucking low blow : whose country is the one who produces the highest amount of greenhouse gases AND has withdrawn from all climate protection programs AND has decided to stop the development of renewable energies AND relies so heavily on cars that they have no rail infrastructure?

Idk, you tell me, okay.

Can we stop with the character development. Where's my beach episode.

I dream of the day when I won’t have to look at this fucking chart….

[mumblingsage]

Every time I encounter lie/lay in the wild I have to pause and whisper, “Lay it on me.”

Anyway here’s an additional chart with examples of correct use, in case that helps some people even more:

[skepwith]

I fear this is a losing battle, but if anyone wants more examples, I wrote a blog post about this way back when: http://www.grammarlandia.com/2017/11/lie-vs-lay.html.

My go-to examples for remembering which is which are “lie like a rug” and “lay an egg.”

Except you can also say "the pencil lies on the table", so not necessarily a difference between person and object.

Sorry :')
