Didn’t he get 34 counts of election fraud? Election fraud seems threatening to the USA.

Cops don’t care about solving crimes!

Flying Squid told me I had psychosis because I disagreed with their views on religion. They’re an asshole.

I’m doing my part! I created a community to deconstruct the tankie arguments against voting that you see on Lemmy. [email protected]

Yes, obviously dozenal metric is better than decimal metric, but decimal metric is better than imperial.

Where Metric really shines is conversion between unlike units. In Metric, the equation for voltage is V=IR, and it’s so convenient Imperial didn’t bother to make their own version of it, so americans use metric for electricity. I can use kilograms and meters to calculate force, while you silly americans have to convert inches and pounds into different pounds using a conversion factor. Then I can use meters again to get pascals, or I can use meters differently to get joules. You’re stuck using a conversion factor to get calories. Then I can use seconds to get watts, and we’re back in electricity territory where you fools have to convert over to our measurements to keep up. Metric is awesome!

Note that LOTR was 100% informed by his experiences in WWI and he sought to impart readers with many of the same feelings. He’s just saying it’s not a 1:1 comparison. For example, World War One had no ents. He just put those in because they’re neat. LOTR isn’t a direct retelling of the great war, but it is supposed to make you think about what war does to people, and perhaps that will make you think about the great war.

Columbo is all four corners at once. He always looks like he’s doing rough, but he never quite looks like he’s falling apart. He’s just happy where he is. And he does use vibes in addition to algorithmic logic. He usually knows who the murderer is after his first time meeting them. He just has to prove it using the proper rigour

Yeah, pissing off bigots is important praxis. It sets them in opposition to the rest of society

That’s not true

You already know, liberal troll.

I censored it because it’s a bad word. A slur against people with disabilities.

It gets absurd enough when you go back to the original claim

“My MMR vaccine is completely safe, but the other MMR vaccine gives your child an upset tummy, which causes autism”

Don’t forget Bigger Luke

Call it a gutfiller.

One could easily spend more time trying to measure 1.905 cm vs very quickly dividing 1 into 3/4".

If the standard is written in Metric, the factory that makes the parts uses metric, and the place where the parts are used uses metric, why don’t they just use 2cm screws instead?

Your argument for the convenience of imperial is that the standard uses imperial. No shit. It would be just as hard to cut something to 0.787" inches if the standard were in metric.

Also the reason metric makes more sense is I don’t need a calculator to convert centimeters to kilometres. You need a calculator to convert inches to miles. AND you have to memorise the conversion factor! What a waste of brainpower

Your actions have consequences, liberal. You have the right to free speech even when you use it to subvert democracy, and I have the right to tell you to shut up. I know Daddy Elon says free speech means no consequences for what you say, but he’s a dipshit and so are you. People are allowed to tell you to shut up. Criticise Israel in a manner other than telling people not to vote against fascism. It’s easy, look, I’ll show you:

Israel is committing a genocide and Biden is ethically obligated to stop supplying the IDF and to commit to military action against the IDF’s bases of operations.

See? I criticised Israel, I acknowledged genocide, and I laid out concrete action the US can take against Israel. I even criticised Biden! How about that! What I didn’t do, is tell people not to vote against fascism. Now, I know for a liberal like yourself, the idea of opposing fascism is quite repugnant, but that’s because you’re a shithead.

No, I’m responding to the right comment. You’re the liberal who’ll risk a Trump presidency in the name of your hatred of Biden, right? The one who buys into DNC lies that they care more about winning the presidency than they do about having Biden as candidate?

Wowsers, that’s horrible! I’ll make sure not to vote for Biden if he nominates Trump as his VP.
