Ularg posted:I still love to hear about the "What about the starving children" from people who don't really give a poo poo about starving children. Whenever people bring up starving children, I tell them I'm a foster dad, regularly volunteer at soup kitchens, and help when I can at the residence for foster children. Then I ask them what are they doing to help the starving children. I usually get either: A) No answer. B) A deflection. They don't actually give a gently caress about starving children, and when confronted by an agnostic socialist who actually acts more Christian than they do, they become very VERY uncomfortable.

Karnegal posted:The self-interested part of me kind of wants Pittsburgh to get it so that my partner (she works on Alexa) and I can potentially move back there and buy a house near family and friends instead of paying a fortune for rent in Cambridge. Massachusetts is wildly better than Pittsburgh, but cost of living is so much more manageable there, though Amazon setting up shop would probably hurt that. Just imagine Boston's cost of living if the HQ2 comes here instead like Mayor Walsh wants it to

zoux posted:That particular one is from a 1917 issue of American Machinists Oh, that makes more sense. I was wondering why a cartoon from the 70's looked like it was drawn by Thomas Nast. Although somebody still using Roman numerals for dates in 1917 is probably the sort of person who would have been against the metric system in the 70's.

Timing on this one is pretty lovely seeing as Franken has just resigned while Moore is still running with full backing.

Songbearer posted:Magically Appearing Candles For someone with a pretty decent artistic style, she makes a lot of little continuity mistakes like that. Weird. Also I think I like the old Zeldas better than the recent ones. There were more jokes and the art was more cartoony. Now the people are starting to have realistic proportions and getting more detail in the faces and it sometimes looks kind of grotesque. Don't stop posting it, though.

ryonguy posted:Trump is still president too. Franken's statement of resignation specifically called out the irony of his being ousted for inappropriate sexual behavior while Commander Pussygrabber is in the Oval Office and the pedophile in Alabama has the full backing of his party. Kind of a wussy move imo but still accurate.

People on the Internet get really mad when I say that Fahrenheit is unironically a better system for the primary temperature use-case in day-to-day life (describing how warm or cold it is outside) What does the boiling point of water have to do with choosing which jacket I'm going to wear today?

Metric replaces an intuitive system with an abstract one for people who don't know enough math to multiply by 12.
