A truly post-modern problem
When wondering how to get dressed in the morning, I often check weather.com, a site which I have discovered gives a completely inaccurate weather reports 100% of the time, we’re talkin degree-wise and cloud/sun or rain forecast. Always wrong. Consequentially, some days end in backaches from the pointless umbrella stuffed in my already weighed-down purse or ruining various leather/suede products from walks home in the pouring rain.
After time and again being misled by weather sites, I started to actually (gasp) open my window to check the weather. Not able to quit cold turkey, I would proceed to check weather.com quickly after to verify or deny what I have myself felt and seen. This, my friends, is where my post-modern problem comes in. After feeling/seeing the weather with my very own eyes and body, I always trust the website even when it says something completely different. “So,” I say to myself, “the ground is wet and people are walking with umbrellas but weather.com predicts a 0% chance of rain, so I think it’ll be fine”. Technology over experience? Weather.com over the view from my window? I mean, fuck you weather.com, but really fuck me for this absurd learned behavior. I wish I could quit you.
PS this site may not be accurate but come on look at that title: http://thefuckingweather.com/
