Northern California is a straight clusterfuck right now, and I’m in a relatively rural area so it might be awhile before I get my power back. What do yinz do to pass the time aside from doomscroll and shitpost?

Edit: Just to give you all an idea about how bad it is right now. Rual Northern California towns are much smaller than a lot of people think, so a lot of those outages are entire towns.

    One time the power went out during the evening in the summer, and literally everyone in the neighborhood was outside doing activities. It was like the first and only time I saw so many people just walking, playing in their yards, going to the park, and talking to neighbors and random strangers from the neighborhood. It was like I was living in a whole different country. I live in the US for context.

      I honestly wish we could get rid of screens. I’m as much of an introvert as anyone but this shit is getting crazy.
