I’ve never experienced winter here in Australia. We only get snow on mountains and our indigenous trees are evergreen. You Americans might think every place has winter, but you’re very wrong. If it went down to 0 F around here, it would make history books. Your scale just doesn’t fit us. We prefer Celcius.

Well I liked the post, this Alex guy seems like he was nice before he died

Interesting. If this is intentional, it could be easy to change. Maybe I’ll take a look at the code tomorrow and see if I can change it

Don’t worry, there’s a communist PieFed instance that has the 4chan filter turned off. It’s called MULTIVERSE. However, you can’t reach it from lemmy.ml and ideologically aligned instances, because their admins are state capitalists who would break our rules if they were allowed to. We only allow capitalists who are here to engage in good faith, whether that means being open to changing their minds, or just arguing respectfully with care for the value of other people’s time and energy.

Thorn fiasco?

Only four seasons? How strange.

I know, but the Americans are the only ones in this thread acting like every person and place in their country shares a single range of weather temperatures, so I pretended to cede that point. It makes for a good rhetorical technique.

I already clarified My position on My blog, not once, nor twice, nor even thrice, but quice, each time building upon the ideas and exploring the definition of politics in a new context.

But it will not take Me an entire blog post to dismantle your claim that definitions can’t have ethical consequences. I can simply point out Trump’s definition of gender, or Albanese’s definition of antisemitism, as definitions with the potential to cause a great deal of harm. We choose how to construct our understanding of the world around us, and with this power comes a responsibility to do so wisely.

I understand the meaning you assign to it and think you’re wrong. I think you haven’t thought through the logical and ethical consequences of your meaning.

I’m perfectly capable of understanding you, I simply disagree with you.

The men in the comments are jealous of the man in the video

You mean it’s good for outdoor temps only Americans care about. Here in the rest of the world, we have very different weather to you people, so we need a wider scale.

Average is one number, not a range. Do you mean standard deviation?

Demand theory of value

I remember Neytiri because of the joke in Harley Quinn

Actually, it’s the other way around. I have a coherent and useful definition of politics, while most people are being manipulated by a harmful meme that shapeshifts its definition so it matches whatever they don’t personally like.

I disagree

This may be because I’m autistic, but I think apoliticals are the most boring people in the world. Apoliticals always want to talk about the weather and their favourite reality TV show and what they did while drinking on the weekend. But My political friends talk about political stuff like science fiction, history, cool movies, fun gossip.

Politics is what humans are best at in all the animal kingdom. If a human wants to be apolitical, well they’re just not living up to their potential. I’d get just as much engaging conversation from a dog, and it would be cuter.

That’s cute, Bill, but are you going to ban Trump from sucking your dick until he defunds ICE? Because until you take that step, this is all talk.

Yeah, a much better and earlier example is the 14 year old who was told to kill himself by his AI girlfriend
