Flying Squid told me I had psychosis because I disagreed with their views on religion. They’re an asshole.

Yes, obviously dozenal metric is better than decimal metric, but decimal metric is better than imperial.

Where Metric really shines is conversion between unlike units. In Metric, the equation for voltage is V=IR, and it’s so convenient Imperial didn’t bother to make their own version of it, so americans use metric for electricity. I can use kilograms and meters to calculate force, while you silly americans have to convert inches and pounds into different pounds using a conversion factor. Then I can use meters again to get pascals, or I can use meters differently to get joules. You’re stuck using a conversion factor to get calories. Then I can use seconds to get watts, and we’re back in electricity territory where you fools have to convert over to our measurements to keep up. Metric is awesome!

Note that LOTR was 100% informed by his experiences in WWI and he sought to impart readers with many of the same feelings. He’s just saying it’s not a 1:1 comparison. For example, World War One had no ents. He just put those in because they’re neat. LOTR isn’t a direct retelling of the great war, but it is supposed to make you think about what war does to people, and perhaps that will make you think about the great war.

Columbo is all four corners at once. He always looks like he’s doing rough, but he never quite looks like he’s falling apart. He’s just happy where he is. And he does use vibes in addition to algorithmic logic. He usually knows who the murderer is after his first time meeting them. He just has to prove it using the proper rigour

Yeah, pissing off bigots is important praxis. It sets them in opposition to the rest of society

We knew about global warming since 1900. We just didn’t care.

Unless.

That’s not true

I censored it because it’s a bad word. A slur against people with disabilities.

Call it a gutfiller.

One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".

If the standard is written in Metric, the factory that makes the parts uses metric, and the place where the parts are used uses metric, why don’t they just use 2cm screws instead?

Your argument for the convenience of imperial is that the standard uses imperial. No shit. It would be just as hard to cut something to 0.787" inches if the standard were in metric.

Also the reason metric makes more sense is I don’t need a calculator to convert centimeters to kilometres. You need a calculator to convert inches to miles. AND you have to memorise the conversion factor! What a waste of brainpower

I’ve seen birds kissing, and I can’t come up with any nonromantic explanation for it. Also they only do it when they think I’m not watching.

Wowsers, that’s horrible! I’ll make sure not to vote for Biden if he nominates Trump as his VP.

I love how alt right chuds are making themselves sound like trans catgirls these days

He was streets ahead!

Plus there was a lot of n*rcissist thrown around back then

I grew up communist in a conservative family and I resolved the issue by having more patience and skill for debate than my parents.

Also try pulling out the “this is why I don’t love you” on a reactionary parent. It cuts really deep 😂

Oh, well then you’re using the wrong words to describe things. What you mean is, you’re not interested in extremist politics. It doesn’t sound like you have a problem with moderate politics.

Here’s an example of some moderate politics: I want to watch the new season of Star Trek Prodigy with my partner, but my partner wants to run a load test on its CPU to check for problems. Turns out my partner can’t be in a voice chat while running the load test, I won’t be able to hear it. So I told it that it should finish its load test and message me when it’s ready to watch TV. That’s politics. A group of people had to make a decision, and we did. I made the decision and my partner accepted it, because my partner trusts me with political power and I place importance on my partner’s needs.

(Also my partner does not yet know there is a new season of Prodigy. I’m planning to surprise it!)

The picture is literally of two penguins kissing.

It’s not a child. A child is defined as having been born. It’s a fetus. A parasite.
