This is a silly thing to argue over because we don't get to pick seasons and have to live through the one currently on.
Maybe you don't

I quickly acclimate to either, but it's not fun. Low 50f/10C is very comfortable to me by late January while 90f/32C is fine in July. It's the damn December and May that are hell.
10°C is fine in sunlight or still air. If there's a breeze it is cold. Great cycling weather though, you can dump so much heat and barely need gloves

I just want to wear as simple an outfit as I can and get away with it without freezing, ok?
I have an in-window AC that runs on full blast at night in the summers on top of my whole-house AC. 58 degrees FTabsoluteW.
Wow. I am impressed from where I sit, in a house with the AC set to 66F, sometimes 65, to save energy vs where we might otherwise set it.
People consider 70 ideal, don't they? So 65 is only a saving in winter, you would set a higher temperature than ideal in summer

Wow Exxon loves you
For now...solar panels are going in soon, which should more than cover it
My house was built with vents, un-closable, always venting vents. Inside temperature equals outside air temperature plus a little draft as the air moves from inside to outside and outside to inside
Heating or cooling is economically impractical, except in two rooms, one with no vent and one with a vent blocked with foil
I look forward to a knock down/rebuild where the future house will be will insulated and will exchange air with the outside in measured, heat exchanged doses and solar powered air con can heat or cool the house in peak solar generation and the house will be pleasant the rest of the day and night. I'm comfortable in 18°C to about 26° in winter and a little offset upwards in summer, and it's pretty easy to build to not gain or lose more than 8° in 18 hours in my climate (lows in the single digit negatives Celcius; highs seldom more than 40°C)
Not gonna do shit at night.
I bought a battery for mine but you’re about to find how just how much power your AC system uses.
I know exactly how much it uses, I still have a regular electric bill.

Autumn lovers >>> all other seasons
It’s barely a season though. Summer and winter are months long. Any place that actually gets something akin to autumn anymore, itonly lasts for like a few weeks. If that. There are two seasons: summer and winter. They just have barely discernible transition periods which more often than not amount to a few days of back and forth weather, from nice for a day or two, back to the previous seasons temps, then lurching forward to the next, then back and forth with some median-“season” days mixed in mid swing.
Thanks Shell, Exxon, BP, Koch industries, Lockheed, et al
Yep, they fucked up the planet just to make more money. I’d rather buy an NFT made by an AI than give those people another penny, if I had a choice in the matter

It's my favorite season, except this past year it was rarely ever cool. Winter was better this year. I feel like that's only going too become more true as we go on.
easier to warm up than cool down imo
Clothes-wise sure, we put it 100W at rest, we need only capture that.
I really don't get why you can still buy cooling-only air conditioners when any heat pump can work just as well in either direction
Every aircon should heat or cool the indoor space as required
Then it becomes easy to cool or warm at ~400% efficiency

bug repellent, my beloved
Makes sex worse.
You didn't want to mate with that mantis anyway, trust me, bro. I've got your back.
