But I highly encourage everyone to ask “Okay, but is that a Swedish mile, nautical mile, Roman mile, or Chinese mile?” whenever miles comes up with Americans.

I find it tedious when someone pretends not to understand a conversation just to make some academic point, don’t you?

The image in the OP literally says “British: hey guys, we developed a thing called the metric sy-” so your argument is with the creator…

You’ve already asserted that everything is politics whether I like it or not, including this conversation, and since I don’t get involved in “prove me wrong” political conversations on the internet I’ll just exit.

You’ve already asserted that there are no valid answers to that question. Why did you bother asking?

And this is what I mean. Everything is very much not politics but if you politicize everything then by definition it becomes so. People need to stop doing that.

People need something else to focus on. When everything is politics then politics is everything and it’s stupidly difficult to get people interested in doing anything positive.

You even think you’re expressing independent thoughts right now. You’re not. You’re repeating a script. I was there when they wrote it. I saw them test the best ways to program it into your brain. Your weak, spongy mind sucked it right up because you were desperate for something to hold onto. Doesn’t it bother you that everywhere you go, your existing biases are confirmed? You really don’t understand that’s by design. Who do you think the designer is? It’s you. Rich, powerful people created the environment that reinforces your thoughts and behavior. One day you’ll look back on these wasted days and cringe so hard your neck will swallow your head like a turtle.

Your mind is gone. The corporate culture war has it now. Take my advice, don’t ever leave Facebook. It’s safe there for you.

I’m not going to punch anyone because I’m not a violent psychopath. I’m also not going to post whatever stupid video you’re talking about anywhere because I don’t flag my politics on the internet. I think people who do it need to stop.

Now that I’ve answered your question, answer mine: why did you get on the internet in the first place? Was it to read about culture war politics and get angrier and angrier as the days and weeks and years go by? Because that’s what you’re doing. Did you buy a smartphone and click all the happy little buttons and now you want to spread your opinions about dumb ass politics everywhere? When do you people all get bored and leave? Why don’t you all just go away? When are you going to realize nobody cares?

Don’t get salty. A lot of folks don’t use that anymore, it’s a boomer platform for hate politics.

Idk why there’s a Lemmy group called reddit

For you to post in

Displace modifier in blender

Alternatively, an online lithopane maker website.

No acknowledgement at all that I literally just answered your question?

1 BTU heats 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit.

What are these? Do they hang on a wall? Do they have stands on the back like a picture frame you put on your desk?

People who are actively working for change in concrete ways don’t often call attention to themselves by posting about it on public social media. If nobody in power is working to silence you, you’re probably participating in controlled opposition and not much else.

Caring about other people enough to hate them

Wew, lad.

Elections are designed to be democratic. Political parties are largely unregulated and can generally make their own rules about who they choose to run as a candidate. Remember this next time the Republicans get a big group of powerful party members together to say how much they don’t want a certain orange-tinted fascist to be their candidate, their party could have run someone else. Winning was more important. Similarly, the democrats are well within their rights and the law to have previously committed “superdelegates” or just to skip the primary process entirely and run the vice president.

The president is the leader of one branch of our three branch system. Cooperation between Mexico and the USA and Canada and the USA is generational and extends across various diverse dimensions like scientific cooperation, infrastructure protection, border security and law enforcement, fire protection and prevention, trade, and food safety, among others. It would take much much more than one presidential administration much longer than four years to make meaningful progress toward the goal of destroying all these cooperative agreements at all levels of government that took generations to build.

Donald Trump sucks but he isn’t America, nor should we be judging any country by the actions of its corrupt billionaire leadership.

Spicy take incoming: it’s pretty great right now. We’re a continental country rich in natural resources. We’re very friendly with our only two major neighbors, Canada and Mexico, so tits hard to imagine us being attacked over a land border. We have tropical beaches and snow sports 365 days a year, and they all speak English and take dollars. Our universities are some of the best in the world and graduate Nobel Prize winners in arts, sciences, and mathematics. Yes the current American experience sucks but for a lot of people it always has and has even sucked worse. We’ve experienced massive civil rights expansions over the past three generations.

If you think America sucks you’re right, and always were, and always will be, but if you can’t think of anything nice to say about it then you’re just not paying attention.
