Yeah I can wear my flowy showy shirts and pants during the summer.

But I can’t wear my turtlenecks, scarves, or snugly jackets. Not to mention that sitting under a nice hearty blanket sipping cocoa on a crisp evening.

The summer I can chill in the shade of trees sipping iced tea though which is also hella nice.

Both have perks and draw backs.

The sound of a dot matrix printer is bliss

Just hammering away like it’s life depends on it then that sweet rip of the page

Man that brings me back

I think you’re right.

My reading of their comment (the parent comment, not the one you replied to) was that they were commiserating about the awful heat and being thankful for the fact that they have AC while also highlighting that the heat can quickly turn deadly if you’re not prepared for it.

The person you replied to on the other hand: I’m interpreting their comment as treating all of Texas (if not the US) as a singular political body (basically: who wins the election got 100% of the vote) and is blaming the commenter for the outcomes of those elections and the current heat waves. They also seem to be taking the parent commenter’s comment as an angle for attacking them as if they would attack somebody directly responsible for what’s going on.

This is unfortunately quite common online with people. Also IRL but people are less inclined IMO to be so rash and confrontational IRL than online as online you can “fire from the hip” with comments without any fears of repercussions really.

Never forget that the fact it’s separate is INTENTIONAL and the fault of TEXAS
