According to the NY Times:

the Weather Service employee whose job it was to make sure those warnings got traction — Paul Yura, the long-serving meteorologist in charge of “warning coordination” — had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid cuts pushed by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

You really haven't given us much to go on here.

Were you in a relationship? For how long?

Also, what sort of age group are we talking here? Your options and perspectives are likely to be different if you are in your teens vs 20s vs 30s, etc.

That or you were joking, and I just whooshed myself.

A lawnmower fight at a shopping centre would be... different.

 

As long as I'm enjoying myself it's not a bad thing, right?

 

Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

 
 

Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it's to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it's got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal questions and getting terrible hot takes and badly Googled answers in reply.
