    Building tolerance to higher temperatures doesn't mean shit when it's warmer than your chemistry is able to function at

      Neolibs literally think you can willpower yourself into anything. They think everything is a personal choice and you can just perspective your way out.

      Like they'll see a flower wilt and be like "Guess that flower wasn't strong enough" and not "Guess I planted that flower in a stupid spot."

    i am ready for this to become the next culture-war topic so I can convince boomers that sitting inside their parked car with the windows up on a hot day for at least 30 minutes will improve their heat resistance stat

    I moved to this hot ass country over 10 years ago and I still can't get used to summer here.

    Some things you just can't put up with. Heat is one of them.

    Only people who were born here seem to be okay with the heat and even they complain in the hotter months.

    Once "personal responsibility" became the conventional wisdom for dealing with COVID (which doesn't make any fucking sense, public health isn't an individual construct), it never became more clear to me that this kind of rhetoric and response (or lack thereof) is going to be used for every major crisis going forward, no matter how severe it is. yea

    To some extent sure, I could definitely handle it better when I was working out in the heat every day than I can now. Minnesota dads can go out in the snow in shorts but melt at Disney World.

    But that doesn’t work when you’re pushing the limits of survivability monke-rage

    throw the writer in a soup pot and slowly boil them alive. See if they can survive the small gradual exposures to heat.
