I suffer physically during summer and mentally during winter. I 'd love for a long, extended spring time (because I have no allergies ruining it for me), but anthropogenic climate change is 86ing spring and autumn atm.

Let me tell you about these magical lands called "equatorial mountain" climates.

See, you go to a place that's hot year round, then go 1-2km directly upwards, and you get 365 days of spring weather, only variation being how much precipitation you get.

Bogota, Medellin, Da Lat, Kunming, all amazing weather year round. They also tend to have tons of edible mushrooms.

spoiler

There is a really jarring sensation when you go from wet, cold, and cloudy to hot, dry, and sunny by taking a 5 minute bike ride down into a valley, like you just rode into another world.

Do you have a list of such more cities?

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

No, sorry. There's listicle articles you can google, or if there's an equatorial region with mountains, any city or town above a certain altitude is going to have little variation. Weatherspark.com can help investigate.

I know about mountain climates. However, I grew up close to an ocean coast, I love the salty smell of the sea, mountains are nice for a vacation but bearing down in the long run. Also Kunming is in China (fuck the CCP) and due to me being pretty much not able to work I am still best where I am (for now at least. Too many rich asses working on dismantling welfare here).

We are discussing the weather. Be normal.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Expressing disdain towards autocratic regimes in a short side note is perfectly normal.

True, fuck the USSA, Shitrael and Germany

[–] protist@retrofed.com 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Aw c'mon, no pet name for Germany?

it already has "man" in it ;)

No, no its not. Its extremely weird and offputting to immediately declare how much you hate 1 particular government, especially in the context of someone telling you a positive thing about various places they've been to. Maybe touch grass.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 6 hours ago

It was a side note giving a reason why the example you gave is not an option for me. Had you brought up a place in Russia, Saudi Arabia or the USA I'd have made a similar comment.

Plus again it is just a side note. You are the one who wants to focus on that topic now. You could have continued conversing on amy other part of my response.

My condolences, that sucks!

And yes spring and autumn both are awesome. Nothing better than a clear, crisp autumn day.
