Retro PC YouTuber LGR was relieved to find much of his collection intact, but told me that "more than ever that there's a need to redistribute a lotta this stuff" to ensure its preservation.

    He’s a thought: move away from hurricane territory. Seriously, wtf is wrong with people. You live in a disaster-prone region.

      Here’s a thought: You’re not very nice

        Being nice would have prevented the hurricane(s). surely.

          Actually it would since if you’re nice you aren’t going to fuck up the planet so much that it isn’t livable anymore.

      So you’re saying Asheville, NC is hurricane territory?

          Yeah, that’s absolutely what I am saying. Its nowhere even near the coast where a hurricane is ever a serious concern besides some gusts and a few inches of rain from one and even then, you’re thinking of that much closer to the coast.

      The people affected by Helene aren’t in hurricane territory
