Yes, you are a dumbass for a vast, vast, vast number of reasons I don’t have the life expectancy to get into, so let’s just delve into the one I’m thinking of.<\/p>\n
How often have you complained or heard someone complain about the weather forecast? Every once in a while, some cretin will come along and for some unknown God forsaken reason will think it is at all original or humorous to bitch that the meteorologists were wrong.<\/p>\n
“Why do they get paid for being wrong? Why are they such liars? I’d get fired if I were so inaccurate at my job! I hate weather forecasters! Can’t rely on them! I wish they wouldn’t bother reporting!”
\n
\nOh, my good God. Shut the fuck up! Next person who says anything along these lines is getting set on fire and fed to my cat. Oh, it rained when the weather report said it wouldn’t? Well, I have news for you. You’re too fucking stupid to realize weather reporters aren’t psychics! It’s not a million percent accurate portrayal of the future. Shit, if anyone had that kind of power, we could be using it for way better shit than finding out what the relative humidity will be tomorrow morning. No. What is a weather forecast? It is an educated guess of what might occur meteorologically based on what the current weather patterns and whatnot dictate. Does that mean stuff from that will definitely happen? Hell, no. Lots of different shit could happen based on how the weather patterns are looking right now. It’s not perfect. You’re an imbecile if you think it is or even should be (you’re an imbecile anyway, but whatever). But seeing as having at least some idea of what tomorrow’s weather will be like has proven very useful, this is the best we’ve got.<\/p>\n
And don’t give me this shit that they should be fired or that the weather report is a waste of time. If something three times the strength of my windy namesake that tore up New Orleans last year is heading this way, I’d like to fucking know about it. So I can grab my stuff and high-tail it to Chicago or something, hehe. Hurricane won’t think of looking for me there!<\/p>\n
Finally, let’s not forget that despite the occasional faults in the weather report, it is still by several orders of magnitude the most truthful thing in the local six o’clock news.<\/p>\n
