10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
They literally told people, that decided to stay behind, to write their names on their bodies so their corpses could be identified. How the fuck do you misinterpret that as "its gonna be fine".
Im sorry for anyone affected by this storm, but honestly fuck you to the people who didnt take it seriously despite knowing about how bad it would be. Now instead of just recovering property, emergency services are forced to pull your mangled body out of the rubble too. That is not a fun job ffs.
These are deep red areas, they were told that COVID was bullsijt and then some people died but not them. They're told that solar and wind power and electric cars are a scam, They were told that global warming is a scam. So after all this why believe that anything is going to have an effect on you.
The loss of life is horrible. This is maybe, If we're lucky, The turning point where people actually start to believe warnings again. Of course for the most part, it was only the people in low-lying areas that died. This means there is a equal chance that they'll just claim it's another case of them versus us and it was their fault for buying or building that close to water.
Those not having experienced it will brush it off as fake news, a hoax, ai, or anything else just to be sure they aren't wrong and emperor god daddy trump is bigly supreme.
I feel bad for those who have and continue to suffer because of this. And because of the people who have warped their minds away from reality.
Thoughts and womp womps.
Darwin awards. Darwin awards aplenty.
