Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Northern California is a straight clusterfuck right now, and I'm in a relatively rural area so it might be awhile before I get my power back. What do yinz do to pass the time aside from doomscroll and shitpost?

Edit: Just to give you all an idea about how bad it is right now. Rual Northern California towns are much smaller than a lot of people think, so a lot of those outages are entire towns.

i remember about 10 or 12 years ago the power in my neighborhood went out for a night, so my family took the dog out for a walk. Seeing everyone outside, candles lit everywhere and neighbors chattering with each other was probably the only time i felt a generic sense of community. I fucking hate the suburbs

Not to diminish your troubles, i mean i never suffered through what you guys are going through :meow-hug:
