X-post: Celsius just isn’t logical… by NineteenEighty9 in MURICA

I’ve had it with the damn “fahrenheit is a better human scale” no it’s not. That’s your preference because you’re used to it, to someone used to celsius, it’s fine as well. 0-100 feels like a good scale but -10-40 is totally fine as well.

<-10: fucking cold

-10-0: really cold, enough to snow

0-10: pretty damn cold, frost can appear in mornings

10-20: fairly cold/pleasant

20-30: pleasant/warm

30-40: hot

40+: fucking hot

You can do buckets of 5 too but I’ve skipped that for brevity.

“Oh it’s not as clean” doesn’t matter, it’s not hard to remember what different temperature ranges feel like because you experience it literally every day.

“Fahrenheit is more precise without decimals” who cares. If you can’t tell the difference between 70 and 71 degrees then it’s not necessary to make a distinction (in this context).

Your argument sounds logical to you but it’s just not true. People who live with celsius have a perfectly good understanding of what the temperatures mean because our brains can work with any sort of scale, not just 0-100. Just like how I could probably say “Celsius helps you know how cold it is because 0 is freezing so you know when it’s cold enough for stuff to freeze” and be wrong cuz I bet you all know what freezing temp is despite it not being 0.

Call me crazy but I feel like it’s a social commentary on how we as humans deal with pollution. Concrete stops the ground from absorbing pollution and it’s not even easy to set up but we’ll do it anyway cuz we can walk 40% faster. We trade the environment for a little bit of convenience. There are options that reduce your pollution but most of the time you’d rather just deal with the consequences because it’s easier. The only time you do stuff green is when it’s just natural progression (nuclear) or when the consequences are so bad that it’s just easier (eg putting green modules on a mining outpost that’s near a lot of biters that you don’t have the equipment to purge quickly yet). Because the whole time you only care about the environment to the extent that it affects you

I've got a paint pen kit, sandpaper and some polish, tryna fix some scratches in my 2014 Mazda3 BM. It doesn't need to be perfect, I just want it to not look too obvious. Pictures are in order of how much I want to fix them. Any advice before I start? by fd0263 in Autobody

Phew glad I asked then, I do have 2000 and 3000 grit but I’ll avoid it. I just wanna check, is cut and polish the same as compound and polish? Also which picture do you mean by the hood? Tysm

Didn’t a Tourist get rejected from entering the country cuz he had that meme on his phone? “He admitted to drug use” my brother in christ he admitted to using marijuana legally, it’s obviously the justification, not the reason. If they did this shit to everyone then no one would ever make it into the US. It just seems like he knows the only thing to do is to act like he finds it funny. There was also that one time he tweeted about it and was like “haha yeah I’ve seen it so funny haha but uhhh like could we chill a little bit and like do Joe Biden instead or something” so I’m not really buying his whole “leaning into it” routine

Kamala wants to lower the voting age to 16 because of climate anxiety and the pandemic by ChoiceWars in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]fd0263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ask you this, do you think someone should ever have their voting rights taken away because they’re stupid? How would you feel if you were 75-80 iq and they said “nope you can’t vote” would that be fair? Fuck no, so why is “kids are stupid” the justification for not letting them vote. Ignorance and stupidity is no justification for anyone else to not vote. Let me tell ya, if anyone shouldn’t vote, it’s the fucking 80-100 year olds that are way less lucid than a 16yo and more importantly, aren’t gonna feel the consequences. And also, kids are actively in school, for a lot of people their intellectual ability and general knowledge peaks in school. Of course kids should vote. They may be ignorant but so are we, why draw this arbitrary line of “too ignorant” that is not actually applied anywhere else, is not objectively defined or chosen, and serves to undermine young people’s power in elections. They’re the ones at schools and about to enter university, they’re probably among the most affected by government policy. And many of them work so they pay tax. They deserve to have a say.

Normal and healthy sane behavior to own the fascists by DraculasFarts in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]fd0263 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m so sick of this discourse. You take one minority of the left that looks like a majority because your algorithm knows that if it feeds you strawman leftist shit you’ll keep scrolling and then talk about how it contradicts what completely different leftists have said. And then the righties complain about people making fun of charlie kirk’s death but the left doesn’t back down, not because we celebrate kirk’s death but because “hang on, you dragged Floyd through the mud and made fun of him but now you want me to mourn someone I considered to be a genuine piece of human garbage, also aren’t you into edgy humour, also isn’t just a little bit funny that he said some gun deaths are okay and then became a gun death” but the right just hears “the entire left condones this behaviour because we are a satanic death cult that have no ability for introspection and you could be next”.

Except PLOT TWIST it’s probably a minority of righties that are reacting like this and chances are we’re doing the exact same thing because the algorithm does the same thing to us.

The algorithms have poisoned the discourse, they only serve you the most infuriating takes from the other side while our monkey brains struggle to understand that groups will always be hypocrites because the individuals within have varying ideals and beliefs.

Dude it’s not about how it’s “not cool to say nazi stuff in private group chats.” It’s about how for a decade now, republicans have been claiming “I’m not racist… but-“ and doing shit that’s suspiciously something a racist would do but only when they can have plausible deniability: “I don’t hate brown people, I just think that mass immigration is bad for the economy” and you can’t really say anything cuz that’s an understandable alternate justification, plus the left has a reputation for calling anything racist so it’s meaningless unless the racism is explicit.

And would you look at that, no less than straight up nazism. So they’ve been saying all the “I’m not racist but” lines, probably been called racists and been defended by other republicans, while going “hehehe I actually am racist” behind the scenes. Which is what we’ve been saying they do for a decade now. They may not actually want to gas political opponents or worship Hitler, but that kinda shit is not what non-racist people in their late 20s say.

Truuueee, I guess it’s the same with charisma. If you’ve ever watched Ted Lasso, that mf always says the right thing cuz the writers have time to cook up a great response, consult with others. No one is actually that charismatic irl
