Yeah, it’s a pretty deep pit of depression. I suspect most people who consider themselves blackpilled are clinically depressed. Not at all useful. But then again, neither is being judgmental of them.

It used to bother me, but now I rationalize to myself that shrimp poop is basically just sand anyway.

If you psych yourself out about the details of eating another animal then it’s pretty much always disgusting.

She clearly and concisely responded the questions she was obviously going to be asked. You may disagree with the answers, or you may just not like politicians, but she was obviously prepared and professional.

Donald rambled, lied, and went off topic constantly. He spent more time talking about what Kamala said than his own policy. When he was pressed on policy he had unclear answers or dodged entirely (e.g. “concepts of a plan”).

He came across as unhinged, bordering on detached from reality, and he seemingly doesn’t have any plan or vision for the country, except that it definitely isn’t project 2025 (except it probably is). He was undeniably more interesting to watch, but not in a good way. Based purely on the debate from last night it’s not clear if he’s fit to lead a book club, let alone a nuclear superpower.

If you’re a racist it’s occasionally useful to throw another, more obvious racist under the bus to build up your own cover.

Fuck both these people.

Hey now, let’s be fair!

It’s entirely possible he rigorously prepared and that was genuinely the best he could do.

If they didn’t want her to voice her opinion they shouldn’t have spent a week making fake ai images of her endorsing Trump. They forced her hand; she could either allow her likeness to be appropriated for a political cause she doesn’t agree with, or make her true opinion known.

In fairness neither kid rock nor ted Nugent are relevant enough to convince any significant number of people to vote.

I’d guess a few. Swift’s background in country means she’s got a big fanbase in GA and NC. Even bigger than the other states, I mean.

It was only a matter of time until Donald incurred the wrath of TayTay

Jesus Christ, this feels like it crossed a line even for him

Or knowingly lying to try and make Trump look like less of a loser, which I realized while writing this sentence means they’re definitely still brain-dead.

Who are we kidding, they probably didn’t even watch it.

So… Still unacceptably low. Got it.

Every time a right wing pundit talks about the left wing hive mind it’s a clear tell that they have no understanding of their political rivals at all…

The left is criticizing him but his base doesn’t care.

The right is falling in line, as they tend to. In fairness, it’s waaaay too late for them to do anything about it now.

Is it? Only pure water will actually freeze at 0c. Rain, puddles, lakes, etc aren’t all that pure… And we’re talking about ambient air temps here. The air can be below freezing and it can still rain. And you can get snow/hail above freezing…

Knowing the freezing point is just one factor. Knowing it’s generally around 30F is pretty much always close enough (not that remembering 32 is actually very difficult)

Edit: also water only freezes at 0c if it’s at sea level… I really don’t think 0°=freezing is the huge advantage that celcius stans think it is.

I can’t spell it properly without autocorrect

This is genuinely the most inconvenient thing about Fahrenheit

In point of fact Americans have gotten impressive results out of far more complicated metrics than metric. It’s not a matter of understanding, it’s a matter of pride. And of not having to buy all new tools.

Which is the closest thing to a legitimate criticism of celcius that exists. The entire top half of the scale (everything over ~50°, that is) is pretty much useless as far as judging the weather is concerned.

I’m pretty sure that wasn’t actually Fahrenheit’s intention, more a happy accident. Also if your body temp is 100°F then you’re running a mild/moderate fever.

As is typically responded to this ‘response’: there are a large number of people-many European-who would unironically say that 50°F (10°C) is, in fact, the ideal temperature.

They’re wrong, of course, but they exist.

But you’re also assuming that the exact middle of the range is where the ideal sweet spot should be. That’s wrong. People generally can better handle larger temperature deviations that are colder than their ideal than hotter deviations.
