        At the risk of being too morbid, it definitely is once in a lifetime, for the people who died from the fire.

        My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won’t be the last.

            I’m not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

            I don’t believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

            Good karma? Sure whatever.

            Bad karma? Hell fucking no. We cannot take a single chance these shitters will get away with their fucking around without finding out.
