A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.
Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.
A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain’s national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.
I grew up in El Salvador until I had to go to school, and then summers were in El Salvador. We traveled by bus. That is until the gang wars got too dangerous. My parents are from El Salvador and had to leave because of the civil war that the USA meddled in because the revolutionaries were “scary socialists”. At home we only spoke Spanish, and watched and listened to Spanish media like Univision and Sábado Gigante.
Español es mi primer lenguaje, that’s why the second half of my username is in Spanish (sal is salt in Spanish, lumi is snow in Finnish).
Growing up in poverty, most of my life without A/C, and from a time when plastic wasn’t as common because I’m older, and tech was expensive and uncommon, I’m pretty sure my life time pollution output has been lower than yours, too.
I’ve taken that long travel journey of Finland / USA only twice, once to move here, and the second time because I have family that actually cares about me to the point they bought my plane tickets that second time. I’m sorry you don’t know that feeling.
But go on, do keep speaking, letting any doubt about you being the fool be removed.
Oh, btw:
Literally makes you the guy in the well depicted as the asshole no one likes, especially considering there’s literally no other way to visit family.
