I’m not arguing on Fahrenheit’s behalf or saying it IS more precise. I just said it “feels” more precise because you have finer increments in whole numbers. 70 degrees F is about 21 degrees C while 90 degrees F is about 32 degrees. 20 degrees of increment in F versus 12 in C which feels more precise. It’s the same way metric length measurements feel more precise because there are whole number millimeters rather than fractional inches.

I have no strong opinion any one way, other than I feel like everyone should endeavor to be comfortable converting between various systems of measurement.

I like to refer to them as Freedom units and Communist units (in jest, obviously). I will say, though, that Fahrenheit feels like a more precise scale for measuring temperature even if the units are goofy.

I started https://kbin.social/m/BostonTerrier and I’m trying to post multiple times a week, but it’s difficult sort of throwing things into the void. Plus, I only have two dogs!

I’m sorry for your loss. I know saying goodbye is painful. We lost two of our dogs in the last year, aged 13 and 14, and it still feels like there’s an empty place where they belong.

You gave him love and he loved you in return and that makes the whole thing worth it. He is beautiful. Thank you for sharing him with us.

It’s a dopamine hit. That’s why you did it. I’m finding myself reading whole news articles instead of the first paragraph and then two pages of other people’s comments about it, so that’s probably good for my overall mental health.

I think this is the direction they should all take. Open but “quiet quit” and either do like /r/scams is doing with requiring approval but working on their own timetable, or let the subs devolve into unmoderated bot-a-thon mess.

Yes. That’s exactly it. The fact that transgender people exist in the world is abhorrent to them so it’s an affront to their senses that anyone would acknowledge them as human beings. They need something to hate in order to feel alive and they’ve latched onto trans-hate as their new socially acceptable hatred.

I’m grateful for the brave public figures who are absorbing so much hatred and rage but standing tall in who they are none the less. We need them to fight back against the hatred just by virtue of existing in the public space so that we can move forward, however slowly.
