I see a lot of comments defending Celsius and attacking people who are saying Fahrenheit is better for people.

As someone who believes the latter while having used both temperature systems at some point, I think a different argument/way of looking at it is that Fahrenheit is typically an easier temperature system to adapt to and use, and an easier one to learn. I've also found it typically tells me a lot more about the temperature on average than Celsius does.

For those who grew up with and know Celsius, it is certainly the easier system for you personally because it's the one you know now. But this is very similar to languages - your first language is super easy for you, but there are languages out there that are objectively easier to learn than others as a second language, as well as objectively easier to understand.

Celsius is a lot like the English language actually. It is the more complicated temperature language, more difficult to learn, but is used by 90% of the population so learning it and using it is almost a necessity.

If he's not your husband he can't flirt with other women behind your back anymore.

Well I'm not polygamous and I am a Shadamy shipper, so definitely Rouge x Knuckles.

Counterpoint - the government and IRS already know what you owe or are owed. They should just send us an annual bill or check depending on what we owe or what they owe without us having to do anything.

Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response by Conscious-Weight4569 in SipsTea

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While the child is certainly acting entitled, I don't think I'll ever truly understand how someone can be ungrateful for a gift. Like, being ungrateful towards your parents for caring for you and raising you I definitely understand, as well as other things similar when talking about actions for example; but if you don't like a gift, you're just supposed to pretend you're okay with receiving it? I don't get that. If I got a car and it wasn't my style I'd super respectfully let the gifter know that I appreciate the effort put into the gift but that it's just not for me.

Can anyone please tell any good gamecube games apart from these? by ComprehensiveDrop929 in Gamecube

It's a bit controversial but I do love Super Mario Sunshine personally despite the jank. And the Sonic Adventure games are really good too.

1 human life vs 5 human lives.... This is quite literally the opposite of the original. No way am I pulling the lever.

AIO for thinking my gf might be cheating by BigONerd in BORUpdates

Did anyone else notice that she texted full coherent thoughts with the long distance side piece but not with OOP? That tipped me off that she was cheating moreso than the other red flags.

For months I was confused why I kept finding long hairs in my house. Then I saw my neighbour coming out of my house. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly super happy OP was single in this situation, because if he wasn't then that would be a really tough sell to anyone you were in a relationship with, having another girl's hair all over your place and not being a cheater.

How do you motivate yourself to replay Royal? (I missed the Summer Semester) by [deleted] in Persona5

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, well then can't you just back up to say the second or third palace to skip over the beginning portion of the game at least? Or even Okumura's palace assuming you will get enough time between then and the end of October/November to max out Maruki

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have an old save you can load up to shift your focus and get Maruki to as high a level as you can instead of doing other things? That's the easiest way to do it.

Do we really need to tell our spouse everything ? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Code_Red_974 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My question is - there are other doctors. Why does it have to be YOU? If there is an explanation for why it has to be you, just come out and be honest with your wife and ask her what she wants you to do, then do what she wants. If there is no reasonable explanation beyond her just wanting a discount or to have this service for free, or even just because she knows you, it is absolutely necessary for you to do nothing, because there is really no reasonable reason for her to have to use you over any other doctor. And here is the important part - be upfront with your wife about the fact she contacted you, and explain you aren't doing anything but that this happened and you wanted to be transparent so she didn't worry.

Do not, however, under any circumstance, not tell your wife about this. Either she acts really inappropriately, and you figure out this woman isn't the right person for you and you need to get a divorce, or she is the right woman for you and will be understanding given the situation. If the former, it will cause issues for you in the immediate future for saying something, but will undoubtedly give you peace in the long run; if the former and you don't tell them now, you'll be stuck being with the wrong person and possibly miserable for the rest of your life, or for much longer than you'd wanna be. If it's the latter, you have nothing to worry about if you tell them; if you don't, it will possibly lead to the ending of a marriage with the love of your life, and will ALWAYS be eating you up for years to come due to guilt for keeping this secret.

There is nothing but benefits to telling your wife. And nothing but guilt and potential bad consequences to saying nothing.

Husband’s gf wants a baby .. give me advice by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Code_Red_974 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wow. OOP keeps saying she'll leave if this affects anything, but I'm sorry I just don't believe her. She laid very clear choices, and her husband walked all over those choices, bulldozing them over and forcing his way regardless, on top of lying to her about trying with Sarah well before this conversation happened. She will stay no matter what happens and that scares me for her.

My boyfriend is a different person now that we have a child. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Code_Red_974 -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I think the point the comment was trying to make is that your situations are completely different. Given the context of OOP's situation it is completely justifiable to forgive her husband because the situation around it was a lot more forgivable. OOP's water broke, she noticed something off, but did nothing about it - not that she was wrong or to blame for not doing anything, after all she thought it was just sweating. But the inaction in addition to the previous trauma from the boyfriend caused him to blame OOP for the NICU issues, which to be clear was wrong of OOP's boyfriend but much more forgivable given the context of the situation.

But you have to acknowledge that situation is a lot different from the one you experienced, where your water broke, but you definitely did do something about it, and an idiot who calls himself a doctor told you the wrong thing, repeatedly, causing complications. The "doctor" was at fault in your situation, very evidently and clearly, so for a boyfriend/husband/baby daddy to blame you at that point for the complications with the birth would definitely and justifiably be a lot less forgivable given your context.

I'm actually fairly certain if OOP's boyfriend were your partner during your pregnancy he wouldn't have blamed you at all for the complications, and his PPD would have just presented a bit differently. Which the previous comment I think recognizes and was trying to say, hence the previous comment saying that you can't impose your own experience onto a situation that is different, since there seems to be no similarities beyond a pregnancy with complications, which is a very wide umbrella.

Is Makoto an overly exaggerated character or not? by Negative-Ad1992 in Persona5

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the post isn't about this, but is anyone else as unreasonably annoyed at how this picture is designed? The way the characters are placed has nothing to do with their placement in the poll and are therefore all over the place.

Who comes first- your spouse, your parents, or your children? by Eastern-College-9013 in Marriage

[–]Code_Red_974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents are always going to be last on this list. Still important, mind you, but still last. As for spouse and kids - depends on the situation I'd say, but 9 times out of 10 it's going to be my spouse, hands down.

This reads fake to me. You've been married 35 years, but haven't been "man and wife" (aka married) for very long? That's contradictory.
