You're missing the point. The issue with Fahrenheit is not about the conversion from Celsius, most Europeans don't need to do that anyway. The problem is Fahrenheit in itself, it's just not elegant or scientific and therefore comes off as arbitrary and only makes sense when you grow up with it.

I know a 5 year old who shoved a crayon up his nose.

Ah yes, "we did good but they messed it up, as usual!"

If the US cared enough about the well-being and the services the people have access to in the nations they invade, they would probably not do the invading bit.

So, you've talked to a few people, and now group a is better than group b?

Not only is it a ridiculous implication, but you're somehow grouping up the beforementioned as if they're not all individuals, who no doubt each have the capability to be extremely annoying.

You then juxtapose this against the right wing/constitutionalists, but why? Why does everything devolve into left vs right? You think all the gay and trans people are automatically left leaning? You're invalidating the existence of quite a few people just to make a bad argument.

Haha, I get it, it's totally fine!

I don't think it's funny, because the joke is illogical. If he is a teacher in a University, and it looks like it, that it is his job to mansplain.

So close. You seem to have Sheldon levels of understanding sarcasm.

It's just a simple joke about the term being misapplied to an everyday setting.

It's actually the IDF that uses Palestinians as human shields and routinely kidnaps kids and tortures them. WHICH THEY DO.

The use of Palestinians as human shields by Israeli Defense Forces has been documented by human rights organizations including Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem and Amnesty International.[6][7][8] According to B'Tselem, IDF soldiers put Palestinian civilians in front of them or otherwise putting civilians in the line of fire,[9] and forcing Palestinians to remove suspicious objects (possible explosives).[9] IDF soldiers also force Palestinian civilians to walk through suspected booby-trapped buildings. Israel also formerly employed the "neighbor procedure" in which Palestinian civilians were forced to attempt to persuade wanted individuals to surrender themselves to the IDF.[10] The latter practice was defended by the Israeli defense ministry, but prohibited in 2005 by the Israeli Supreme Court,[11] though there have been accusations of its employment even after the ruling.[12][13] During the 2009 invasion of Gaza, IDF reportedly used Palestinian families (both adult and children) as human shields.[14][15]

Yeah but does the one on the left fit a rack server? I think not!

It's a bit late to worry about internal mics when everyone has their phone on them at all times.

Probably stuck on an older os which doesn't support the newest browser updates.

 

Not sure if this is a (very annoying) feature or a bug that popped up recently, but when scrolling posts and encountering an ad, it will start playing with sound even though it shows the muted icon, unmuting and muting again has no effect. Sometimes this also happens when there's no ad in sight, like while reading or replying to a thread, which leaves you with no option than to endure the ad.

This is on v24.03.04-23:28 with Android 13 (T1SSMS33.1-121-4-8). Not sure what other info I can provide to help with the issue.
