dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Was not considered new norm. It isn't worth getting AC for once in a decade or rarer events.

That's true but there has an increasing number of natural disasters since. Also the flooding the year before. Shit has been fucked for decades

And social change is slow /shrug. You need companies marketing units, tradies trained in installation. Creates a market, lowers prices, improves uptake. A feedback loop.

And like a looooot of people in Europe rent. Makes it harder.

Places like Spain have better uptake cause the economics were just easier to justify since you're using it often.

God, yeah. We need rental reform just as much as AC.
