    It’s a once in a lifetime event, so… /s

      My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won’t be the last.

        Do you believe in karma?

        Edit: LOL I meant to say “reincarnation” as a joke for the “once in a lifetime event” as in they’ve had several lifetimes already and they just don’t remember it happening.

          I’m not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

          I don’t believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

          Good karma? Sure whatever.

          Bad karma? Hell fucking no. We cannot take a single chance these shitters will get away with their fucking around without finding out.

      At the risk of being too morbid, it definitely is once in a lifetime, for the people who died from the fire.
