SoCal here. Nope, weather is consistently great. Also, Arizona's drivers are much worse.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

NorCal here. Weather here isn't great but it's very predictable.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Speak for yourself. Love and miss that cooler, predictable weather. Sick of this shit where I send my kids to school in 30 degree weather and pick them up in 70-80 degree weather. ALSO...IT. FUCKEN. WIMDY. And to top it off stank ass Bradford pears spaffing into the breeze through spring and summer. Oh and lots of tornados every year. Oklahoma weather is bullshit.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I actually moved here from Tulsa so I know very well what you mean lol. Left Tulsa 2 years ago after 15 years. I miss the thunderstorms but literally nothing else lol.

[-] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

A buddy of mine helped his sister move from AZ to Socal, he comes from a family of city-planner types, so he's constantly going on about roadway designs. He told me that while my area has better constructed roads, and our drivers are terrible, that Socal had worse roads, but great drivers (road discipline wise, at least). Probably sample bias but neat trivia.

Seriously Colorado though:

[-] EonNShadow@pawb.social 1 points 1 week ago

Yea Colorado is peak "four seasons in one day" territory sometimes

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It's the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don't know to drive.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Nobody in California ever said that shit.

Having rain 3 days a year isn't bipolar weather

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Per my experience, Oklahoma has the dumbest drivers, Texas and California are tied for the most aggressive drivers (but simultaneously skilled just enough to not cause mass genocide), and Virginia has the worst road layout.

There's a lot of different flavors of shit.

[-] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I used to be a trucker. Drive everything east of the Mississippi.

Indiana has the dumbest drivers. Never have I been to a state with a lower average i.q. Idk, it might be an environmental thing, like in the water, or too many generations of cousin fucking. But something ain't right there. They make poor choices and have a lack of self preservation.

New england the rudest, but they're at least predictable. When they do something rude and reckless its always in pursuit of a goal. E.g. making the next exit, turn, lane ect.

The south has the most lackadaisical drivers. They just don't give a fuck. They're doing what they're doing and that's that.

The Midwest has the nicest most considerate drivers, and as a result traffic jams are far fewer, everything just flows smoother.

[-] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

There's a big difference between drivers who only drive in rural areas and drivers who drive in crowded rush hour traffic in big cities. And, different big cities have their own challenges. As a visitor, trying to navigate LA's freeway hell was awful, and the drivers who were used to it were not at all accommodating. But, I think LA drivers would find driving in Boston and its Masshole drivers to be hell, because it's all about squeezing down narrow streets that come from a time before automobiles.

[-] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

California I believe has the statistically worst drivers. New York id say has the most insane but skillful enough to somehow not die drivers.

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

Call me weird but I enjoy driving in Manhattan. People drive at a reasonable pace.

[-] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Don't be silly, no one drives in manhattan, there's too much traffic

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

"If you don't like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes"

I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it's a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it's unique to where they live

[-] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I have heard this almost exclusively for Florida and not any of the surrounding states. Or really I have never heard it about any other states on the Eastern seaboard.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Nah, Florida's gone from bright, clear, and sunny to "holy fuck, did we forget about a hurricane hitting land?" In the time it's taken me to go to the bathroom.

Not use the bathroom. Just getting there.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

It's not, though. People from LA will say the exact opposite.

That saying pops up anywhere where there's a large range of weather. Which is most places, but not everywhere.

[-] sydd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

What do people in LA say then? "Well if you don't like the weather... Get used to it?"

[-] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Its really hard to not like the weather in LA

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

No Californian would say that. The weather is stable and nice 9 months of the year and cloudy and nice the sun the other 3.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Just looked it up and apparently my state actually has a remarkably low rate of traffic deaths, so apparently we're actually pretty good drivers

[-] TaterTot@piefed.social 1 points 1 week ago

Well, guess it's nice to know I'm not giving away my location when I complain.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I worked for a dollar branded store they would monitor the companies Reddit for employees that were being saying something bad.

They’d look thru the account for pictures of the store layout or anything identifiable. Like the weather on certain days were specifically helpful yes.

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Are you willing to name and shame? Which company was it?

[-] Aedis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Actually the worst part of all is people died at stores. Nothing that was our fault but yeah, I saw people die and didn’t even list that as one of the “sad things” it was just a tuesday

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

In more ways than people realize. I’ve got so many heartbreaking stories.

My record for most drugs found in the bathroom was six baggies of crystal. One of my jobs as GM+ was “he’s been in the bathroom for a really long time… and there’s no noise in there”

“Alright I get the narcan from my car (we weren’t allowed to keep it in the building but sometimes you need narcan)”

Another horrible story is the time I spent all day stomping on baby Jesus. Products have to be destroyed so not peasants can take them out of the trash. Surprisingly a lot of people didn’t want to stomp on Jesus Christmas ornaments. So I went around to all the store to stomp on Jesus for them.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I figure if some place is selling Jesus merch to amass wealth, it's not intended as a holy item and shouldn't be treated as one. Stomp away. Lol

That said though, the company demanding damaging product before chucking it is just shit tier behavior.

[-] skiguy0123@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah well in [insert location] we have two seasons, winter and construction.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

The real issue is being temperate enough to freeze, but not cold enough regularly to have good road maintenance or drivers experienced with ice/snow.

[-] Wammityblam@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

In central Indiana it was 70 with tornados and then 20 and snowing two day later.

[-] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I was gonna say the same. I'm middle east-coast, and one day will be 85f and the next can be below freezing, and alternate each day for a week after, and that's before precipitation/wind.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

In Colorado those changes can happen same day within a few hours. No need for multiple days. It will be 14f in the morning, snowing, then by lunch it’s all melted and 60-70 then by dinner it’s incredibly windy and raining.

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

In my state, it was 70° last week; now it is 28°.

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Are the people in your city also famous for crashing cars into buildings at an alarming rate?

[-] CidVicious@piefed.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Living at altitude, this is actually true. Very low atmospheric buffering. Temperature swings of 40 degrees within a few hours.

[-] realitista@lemmus.org 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah in Colorado it can be 60 degrees and sunny and snowing in the same day

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.
