Still better than being too hot under a relentless sun.

    I wish wearing masks on public transport remained normalised

    It still can be. There's absolutely nothing stopping you from wearing one. I still do on occasion.

    The thing that's driving me mad. Stuffed carriages, everyone coughing and sneezing around, not a single mask in sight, and bRo It'S jUsT tHe CoLd, but it's still fucking annoying to deal with, and I wouldn't have to if people weren't inconsiderate as hell. And especially at this day and age when we're supposed to get people to use public transport because of the environment, and every single atom of mine is screaming for my own little personal space where I don't have to go down with the snot plague just because I'm locked in with another 63472864 people coughing into my neck. RRRraaawr, I hate public transport in the cold.

    Fall I can deal with. Spring makes me look like I’m dying.

    Fall temperatures are great, and a huge relief from the punishment we call summer in my part of the world. But personally, I'm just not a big fan of Fall overall. The shortening days are depressing. Everybody raves about the leaves changing color, but I find it sad, a bunch of living material literally just dropping dead, turning brown, and rotting away. And don't get me started on mold/fungal allergies this time of year. Then before you know it, it's the start of the holidays. Supposed to be a wonderful time of celebrations and gatherings, but seems like most people just get stressed out (with greater frequency and severity each passing year).

    I always found it to be melancholy but lately I've been seeing the whole cycle, and how if we don't have fall, we can't have spring. I suppose it helps I moved 1,000 miles south so winter isn't really a thing anymore. I do encourage that.

    I feel for people with allergies. My old roommate had horrible allergies, and he would just suffer for like 4 months of the year. He never got sick though. I have almost no allergies, but I get sick a lot. I think it’s a balancing act by your immune system.

    I am allergic to grass, weed, tree pollens, dust mites, and I think my cat. There could be more that I am allergic too. I rarely get sick, and wear masks at the hospital. Last time I got sick was from my mother visiting, and didn't tell me she was sick. If I do get sick, my whole body basically doesn't want to work anymore. Luckily never got covid.

    weed as in ragweed or weed as in magic brownies? because they both would suck, but one would suck worse.

    Ragweed is the worst, but other weeds as well. Not marijuana. I am allergic to the outside, to most pollens.

    gotcha. i'd have phrased it weeds for the outside pollens, (i think it'd be less confusing) but i am inexpert. i'm sure there's terminology i am unaware of.

    Oh, I don't know. There's the cold, the sense of decay and death in the air, the coming of a cruel and depressing winter and all the misery that comes along with it.

    Fall is illness and winter is death.

    Autumn around here is just rainy winter lite that leads into winter standard, followed by winter extended cut, before I finally get my two weeks of summer again.

    I used to have the flu at least twice a year.
    But I haven't had the flu or a cold for 15 years now.
    It is also 15 years since I was tested Vitamin D deficient, and started taking 85 Β΅g per day.
    Are the 2 connected? IDK for sure, but it seems likely IMO.

    Possibly, but people also tend to get the flu less often as they get older. There's a lot of different viruses around, but at some point your body will have seen enough of them to fight them more effectively.

    I would expect that to be a gradual effect, for me it absolutely wasn't gradual. It was straight from getting the flu almost every time it was around, to never getting it for 15 years straight!

    This is not "less often" it's straight from always to never.

    I love the colors of Fall. I do not love my Fall allergies.

  • i live in an allergy basin. lots of wind, lots of crops year round since california. we get a week of mild allergies, 49 weeks of moderate allergies, and 14 non-consecutive days of bad allergies. i don't know anyone not on prescription allergy meds.

    and even with those half of us are panel four. one of these days my wife will start teaching children who know how to blow their noses, but like, the littles are so much fun despite being the finest disease vector man has invented
