      If you actually read the article you would know that this is not a prediction of any kind. It is about a paper that was recently published which further clarifies something that was already well understood, that the Pacific northwest is just as likely to see extremely large magnitude earthquakes as any of the other large subduction zones. The PNW isn’t alone in being woefully under prepared for large earthquakes, California and parts of the Midwest (New Madrid) are also burying their heads in the sand on this issue. The facts of the matter aside, dumping some myopic shitpost about your holiday plans on a subject that involves the lives of millions makes you come off as a complete psycho.

        It was an aside joke, you Muppet. Dumping the potential deaths of millions on a random commenter trying to be facetious so you feel publicly superior is psychotic. Or am I also misunderstanding your intention and publicly displaying my superior observation for clout. It’s ingratiating to be told what your intentions are what you should or should not do. Infuriating to be lectured to about what is right and wrong. We are not arbiters of online moral behavior. How about we both try to not be jerks to people we’ve never met from now on. Oh wait, I just was. Talking to each other this way doesn’t feel good.

      I live in Northern California and every time articles about Cascadia come out I have nightmares for a few days. Then I forget about it again. Unfortunately, I think this is also the attitude of the people in charge of infrastructure and earthquake resilience. To be fair, they’ve got their hands full with wild fires and like, being baby sacrificing socialist pronoun witches or what ever us Left Coast-ests are getting up to these days. We have a good time though.

    These comments, including this one, are an embarrassment. Worse than reddit right now.
