that’s probably the money, and the sensibility talking, i like to imagine worlds in which really silly things happen though.
Wait no we live there.

The words you are looking for are that Fahrenheit is more precise. But it’s not as there are an infinity of numbers between any two integers.
yeah and you could make a temperature scale call it fuckwit and make water freeze at -1, and water room temperature at 0, and then make it boil at 1. I don’t know why you would want to do that though.
My thermometer at work which I use for health and safety stuff reports temperature to two decimal places. Had we wanted more precision we could have gone with twenty decimal places. In too big or too small metric units we use multipliers - metres are too small for long distances so we use kilometres (thousands of metres), metres are too big for construction so we use millimetres (thousandths of metres)
well you wouldn’t go with twenty decimal spaces because after you get past about 4 decimals, it starts to become inconsequential, and you should really just use sci no anyway.
Where Celcius degrees are too big, people (scientists, since whole degrees or a single decimal is enough for everyone else) use milikelvins
fascinating that you propose this, because this is literally the opposite of what i said lol.
yeah, that would be the idea. Speaking of making it for the people, i’ve thought about removing campaigning, and just instituting a “campaign policy” mandate instead. Bit of a long shot, but maybe if we knew less about these people, and cared about them less, things would be less personable, which is probably good at the federal level.
this is a funny joke, i will give you that one.
downvotes are boring, silly comments are forever.
As much as I think that the right is going to split after trumps loss, I think they’re also more cohesive than the left is by far.
i highly disagree. There is a fundamental divide in how the parties manage. The left is more bottom up, and the right is more top down. It’s much easier for the right to appear “unified” but it’s much easier for them to also fracture, we’re seeing this be a problem in the house already.
Whereas on the left, it seems highly disjointed, but it’s relatively homogeneous. We have much more flexibility when it comes to “unifying” as a party, than the republicans do.
if trump drops out there are two primary paths that are taken, trump runs as a third party, pulling like 20% of the vote, while a primary candidate pulls most of the votes, or a replacement for trump, who is more likely to be less inflammatory than trump, and more moderate, who maga people aren’t very likely to like. But might vote for in large numbers.
Regardless the entire MAGA base will collapse overnight and have to find something new, likely fracturing in the process, so i would expect to see a lot of turnover in the house and senate in the years after trump drops out long term, assuming he does.
I think your general assumption is correct, but i think you’re forgetting about rhetoric and public image. People who think cats are being eaten by Haitians in ohio are simply going to have a different worldview from those who don’t and just think it’s a “meme”
especially trains with DRM.
Yeah exactly, I was being a bit hyperbolic there but I do think this is a unifying issue for pretty much anyone from any party.
that is true, as far as a unification tactic, both voting reform and certain public ventures would be highly effective, we should definitely setup bipartisan organizations for these things.
my main point was that accuracy matters a lot less with fahrenheit, because it’s so much broader. a range of about 10 degrees fahrenheit is the average subjectively experienced “change” in temperature, at least on the higher end, where there’s more difference between the individual numbers. On the cold side there’s a lot less variance as it meets at about -40 in both systems.
In any case neither scale runs out of numbers high or low
this is very true though, hard to run out of numbers when you can just make more up, although there is an ultimate limit in either direction, due to what temperature actually measures. That’s a physics thing though.
do you have long covid?
well i mean, there is no confirmed genocide, only suspected genocide, and if we’re arguing that this is an environment for genocide to take place, i would agree with that, but i would stop short of confirming it because i’m not a court and i don’t know the law surrounding genocide in a military context, so i don’t know anything about it.
I just thought your username was funny lol
what happened to the gun? We’re not armed anymore? Are we sure this is a bearless environment?
or are there just no men in this forest? Sorry i had to make the joke
yeah this is a comment that makes sense coming from an account named “anticolonialist”
Is Fahrenheit intuitive? No
no, and neither is any other numbering system, it’s all arbitrary we already determined this.
proven by the fact that it can’t be used without prior understanding, as shown in my example.
as you try and apply celsius logic to the fahrenheit system in order to understand fahrenheit, incorrectly… While still ignoring my prime example here.
that’s certainly a possibility. It’s likely to be a significant part of it, that’s for sure.
i think the moderate voters, both republican and democrat would immediately fuck them over, though the moderate dems are more likely to align and side with current democratic representation, and possibly future as well, just due to fundamental values, so it’s less of a problem for the left.
makes sense, domestic terrorism is generally frowned upon, it’s the reason j6ers were charged and served time or are still serving time for it.
palestine is fascist? They might be, they’re a war torn government and of middle eastern culture, so maybe.
Israel? They’re a democratic country, so uh. BB himself is wildly unpopular within israel. Those aren’t normally possible under fascism.
The US? The country almost subverted electorally. Only to push through on the sheer basedness of mike pence believing in democracy like a gigachad? TBF we have another election cycle coming up. But we’re doing fine at the moment so.
The US federal government itself due to it’s war actions? Seems highly unlikely to me, popular sentiment for this war is, not great. Granted i don’t know any statistics on this, so i may be wrong. Since you’re here, and criticizing the government for this one, even calling them “fascist” over it. I would probably venture to argue that this is wrong by fundamental reasoning.
I’m not really smelling any fascism here.
and this is why i think it’s going to fracture aggressively, they won’t find someone capable of replacing trump, and if they do, i will eat my pants. In return whoever they pick is going to appeal broadly to the maga hardliners, but only them, and it’s likely going to drop some of the extremist crowd, and most of the more moderate people who are going to toe off somewhere else.
this is actually a really good point, but it’s also important to remember that trump doesn’t just energize the democrat vote. If trump gets out of the running, that’s likely to kill a good chunk of the dem voter party, unless whoever they pick is moderately popular and has a decent chance of winning. On either side.
yup, it’s why i mostly focus on these kinds of things within politics, it’s what i find most interesting at the moment. Unfortunately, cheating upwards seems to be an incredibly viable strategy, which is probably less than ideal.
this is basically what i foresee in the more moderate camp, it’s either going to kill the republican party, or as some have suggested, kill the maga party entirely and it’s going to shift more moderately, but it’s hard to be sure. In basically every fascist leadership, once the leader dies or loses power, the party collapses. Everything becomes a free for all and all the real estate is free so to speak.
yeah, a big problem i haven’t yet considered, is that nazis and far right extremists may try to capitalize on this really heavily, and if they do that might be a big problem…
this is true, but i think the general benefit it provides in strength outweighs the negatives, as long as single issues voters like the israel palestine people for example, don’t become a significant number in the majority, it really shouldn’t matter all that much, and most of those people would rather vote dem anyway.
We pushed out biden, and now kamala is a really strong contender, and it seems like the trump camp is about to implode on itself any day now, but maybe i’m just not used to republican rhetoric lol.
We’re a lot more broadly cohesive, and while we might not be collectively cohesive, like the republican party, we generally don’t hold animosity towards anybody. I give the israel palestine people a lot of shit for what i consider to be “bad think” but at the end of the day. They’re still people, and they still have the right to hold an opinion and vote for the people and problems they want. We both agree on that aspect. That’s something that trumpers won’t agree on. Certainly not with dems, this is why RINO is a thing.
yeah, this is definitely a concern, but i honestly don’t think it’s all that many people, it seems to mostly be college students that care about it, as well as people just barely old enough to vote. And those who aren’t yet old enough to vote. I think a lot of them who do exist, will probably vote for kamala, since it’s the obvious choice, but those who don’t are probably more of a fringe than the far right extremists are. I’m just not convinced there’s enough of them out there to make a substantial difference. Something on the order of taylor swift endorsing kamala for example. I think is going to have much more push in that direction.
i think you’re probably conflating cohesiveness, and conformity here, cults value conformity almost exclusively. Cohesiveness is just the ability of a group to broadly stick together, fans of a certain sports team for instance, they have a certain cohesiveness. Linux users as well. ETC.
The maga people are kind of like a single ship in the middle of the ocean, everybody they like that conforms gets brought on and boosted, and the people they don’t get thrown off. The left is a lot more like a fleet of boats, all working towards the same general concept, just in different manners. It’s not that we aren’t collectively cohesive. It’s that we’re cooperatively cohesive.
that could very well be a real concern, but i don’t think any old populist would be able to replace him, trump holds an almost god like status, whoever replaces him will never satisfy that. It might pick up the remains of the base, but they haven’t yet won a single election in the popular vote, and they didn’t win the 2020 election. They’re only going to lose worse, unless some god fearing event happens at this rate.
i’ll consider it, but i think it would lead to an extremely turbulent period, and it would at best, be a complete rat race to the bottom. And at worst, dissolve within a few months. The only real alternative is literally trying a military coup i think.
man, this has been a wall of text lol, gotta love political analysis and theory though.
