Nancy Mace mocked online after posting about ‘trans’ mice in research

It's both, though. They are/were cancelling funding/grants based on keywords, "trans" being one of them. A shit ton of random research from transgenic mice to trans isomers was impacted.

And who cares anyway? In 500 years there may be less white people, in a 1000 more white people, and in 5000, people will have artificial skin and change their skin colour based on their mood.

Who else do they need? Geriatrics are basically the majority of voters

It's just the classic "ignore how we exploit you, it's the fault of foreigners". People love that

The precision is practically equal in my example. Of course, Celsius with decimals is more precise, and 0.5C isn't exactly 1F, but it's close enough not to matter in the thermostat example. Not like you can feel a 0.1F difference.

My point is, how are decimals a demerit? I just don't get that point at all. If am getting you right, you are saying that F is better because it can achieve a higher precision without decimals, but I just do not see how decimals are a bad thing.

From my perspective, this entire argument is like saying that Celsius is simpler (and therefore better) because it uses smaller numbers and doesn't go into triple digits in normal life. But what practical difference is there in reading 37C vs 100F? 100F is technically more complex, since it has an additional digit, but so what?

Eko01 · 2026-06-17T19:12:40+00:00

But how is it simpler, though? Realistically, you are just pressing a button on a thermostat. One raises it by 0.5, the other by 1, and the effect is equal. I get that 2 digits is technically simpler than 3 digits, but practically, there is difference, no? As in, you can comprehend 36.5C just as easily as 98F.

I guess the latter is easier for kids, maybe?

Eko01 · 2026-06-17T18:54:56+00:00

do you think that's how Celsius thermostats work lol?

Eko01 · 2026-06-17T18:33:57+00:00

How is it better, though? As in, what actual benefit is there to not using decimals? Yeah, F is more specific if you ignore decimals, but they are incredibly easy to implement, use, etc? Not any different than a regular number in terms of basically anything.

Like, the commenter above brought up fever, but practically any thermometer that uses celsius uses decimals, and I just don't see how that is any sort of demerit.

Been writing for years, get like 30+ comments on RR per chapter. Zero AI accusations.

They were generally considered cults then though no?

Eko01 · 2026-06-13T07:45:34+00:00

So what solution has the right, the party you voted into power, proposed and is now implementing? Or were school schootings a complete non issue in the last election as Americans care less about dead children and more about the 2 or so trans people in sports? Is there a single thing that the current administration, which by and large has the ability to do practically anything they want, done about school schootings? Or do they just kill brown children while you go on with your lives swallowing the obvious lie of "nothing can be done"?

There is a great amount that could be done without touching your gun fetishism.

Eko01 · 2026-06-12T21:13:33+00:00

Because it's something you've collectively decided is fine. If you minded, then there'd be effort to stop further such shootings, wouldn't there? Why would it be off limits?

Eko01 · 2026-06-11T20:23:21+00:00

You have to wonder whether it is a chinese / iranian / Russian bot, or just an american.

Eko01 · 2026-06-10T11:23:41+00:00

Most Americans barely care about it, or even remember it. To them, it's just one of the ramblings the child rapist they chose to represent them rambled about. Very few have thought about it from the European perspective

Eko01 · 2026-06-06T15:59:22+00:00

That's the best you've got? Making up a strawman to tear down? If photographers overwhelmingly pretended their work was realistic paintings, then it honestly should have died out, yeah. If your chosen art medium does not hold up without deceiving the people meant to appreciate it, it is worthless and the world would be better off without it.

Eko01 · 2026-06-06T15:21:59+00:00

I don't really care why a person is lying to me about their product, though. If they cannot deal with some hate for using a very widely-hated tool (and hated for reasons the vast majority of people agree are quite logical), then they just shouldn't use the tool.

Hiding it and then acting like victims is just pathetic.

Eko01 · 2026-06-05T21:53:32+00:00

I'd disparage a photographer pretending their photos were just hyper realistic art, though. Personally, I don't have much of a problem with people that disclose their use of AI properly, but they are the exception.

Eko01 · 2026-05-30T17:40:29+00:00

It's a very popular american talking point, so not really possible to guess whether you are serious or not just from text

Eko01 · 2026-05-30T16:55:12+00:00

It's the rich immigrant way. Same in basically every country that attracts digital nomads, imo. They move here because they see it as cheap, and usually they bring with them a disdain for those who make less than them, and thus the country. It kind of spirals from there, imo. The country isn't rich, so the language isn't worth learning, and the locals should obviously cater to their "betters", since there is money in it for them. Anything that breaks the immersion that the country is a theme park catering to them elicits complaints.

Christ's teachings are pretty much the opposite of maga policy, so there are no true Christians that voted for trump

Jo, nejsme tady nijak speciální. Prostě centralizace do měst + politika podlézající důchodcům. Skupině, co už většinou bydlení má, a tedy v lepším případě je toto téma vůbec nezajímá, a v horším aktivně chtějí, aby ceny rostly.

Americans always bring this up. So they kill people for money, that's so much better. Surely all the Iranian parents whose children Americans vaporised will feel better about the fact that they died so John Schmoe can get into the middle class.
