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

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

I was going to say everywhere but San Diego. I would describe the weather there as room temperature.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

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.

Nobody in California ever said that shit.

Having rain 3 days a year isn't bipolar weather

A couple years ago I was back in Florida visiting my parents and I forgot how weird shit was there sometimes. About 75+ degrees outside and out of nowhere sudden hail/downpour. Hail of all different sized, one piece was like half a soft ball. Went on for maybe 60 seconds. Was long enough for me to open the door, acknowledge I could no longer see shit, and then pick up that giant piece of ice and the storm cloud passed. A bit over 2-3" of rain I emptied out of the rain gauge.

Everywhere has weird weather moments, but that one will always stand out to me.

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 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Aedis@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Honestly? Dollar stores are all pretty bad.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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

Sorry I thought it was obvious if you think about it.

It was dollar tree. I worked the transition from family dollar-dollar tree- dollar tree plus.

What I can say good about dollar tree is I went from part time cashier on Christmas for extra money to running stores in 6 months. I opened 7 stores, lead the stocking teams, helped out at dozens of stores and was “person you call” when you don’t know who to call. DMs called me. On the other hand i had a mental breakdown (litterly I was hospitalized for close to a month then I moved home with my mother that’s how damaging the work was under that one specific district manager) so dollar tree is a great place to move up but it’s like… Harvey Weinstein…. Yeah he can make you a star but at a cost.

Lol sorry I have ptsd lol

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.

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.

"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

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Its really hard to not like the weather in LA

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.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 9 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.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 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.

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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

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

[–] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you for proving OP's point.

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

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 8 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Construction isn't a season where I'm at, it's a constant. Our seasons are hot, wildfire, mudslide, and earthquake.

Here in New England we don't talk about rain and shine, we talk about how yesterday was 60f and today it's 17f with getting 3ft of snow.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 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.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 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

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

It is a scientific fact that Tennessee has the worst drivers. Not my state, btw.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

All the drivers in my state are the worst, and all the drivers from other states are the worst too.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

PNW here, nope, it's just a light rain, sometimes some sun, but that's seasonal. Rarely there's a storm.

The Midwest on the other hand, nah it typically gives you fair warning when it's about to do something crazy

Arkansas doesn't require driver's ed so I think we do have the market cornered on bad drivers. I see folks slam on their brakes on the interstate, reverse back to their exit, the interstates themselves were obviously designed by folks who don't understand how it works, etc. I've lived in several states and never seen anything quite like it.

Nah, when I say this I'm referring to when my temperature goes from (in fahrenheit) -5, to almost 50, to 10 degrees in only 4 days. Got rain one day and snow the next.
