  • You seem to equate any opinion on this topic that does not call for the dissolution of the state of Israel with zionism. And obviously, you regard zionism as something very negative (I’m not saying it isn’t, I’m just trying to be comprehensive and therefore state something trivial, too). Ergo, you seem to regard the existence of the state of Israel as something negative. The logical solution to that is that you see the dissolution of the state of Israel as something desirable.
    Now, keep in mind that the following does not have a say about anything regarding the situation in Gaza. As I stated elsewhere, there’s a genocide happening against Palestinians, there’s no denying that and anyone supporting that is just an asshole at least.
    However, what do you think would happen to the Israeli that currently live in Israel? I’m not talking about West Bank “settlers” or other genocide tools, I’m talking about the majority of Israeli, the civilians, the jewish families who lived in Israel for generations now. They’d most likely be killed, displayed and all of that. And that’s genocide, too.
    Was creating the state of Israel a mistake when it happened? Probably. Would a single state where everyone lives together peacefully preferable? Definitely (and globally so, too). But is it possible to dissolve the state of Israel without a genocide against the jews there? Highly unlikely.
    Hence you’re arguing to answer genocide with genocide.

    Also, I’m not going to get deeper into the argument. I never really wanted to get into this topic and I still just not want to get deeper into this cesspool. You made me though and therefore I’m blocking you now and I hope you’re gonna be able to reflect on some stuff. Farewell.









  • But your point about what a temperature “feels” like actually illustrates my point.

    How so? By “having a feeling” I don’t mean a sensing way but an estimate.

    Also by your logic we should use a different scale for almost any other purpose. Different materials have different rates of heat transfer and therefore feel (in the sensing way this time) different at the same temperature. 27°C for water temperature feels much colder than 27°C of air temperature and the difference is so vast, most people consider the former too cold to be in and the latter very warm to even hot. So do you want to apply different scales to water and air/weather? Or is it more convenient to just have one temperature scale and get used to things being sensed a little different?

    Btw, you’re not gonna convince me that Fahrenheit is better for any purpose. It doesn’t matter which scale we use because we don’t convert. The metric system is superior for weight and distances and such because we are constantly converting from centimetres/inches to metres/feet/yards to kilometres/miles, from gram/ounces to kilogram/pounds to tons/(idk what the imperial equivalent of tons is), from millilitres/ounces (again??) to litres/gallons (and don’t get me started on cups and shit in your kitchens), all the way up and down all day everyday.
    We don’t do that with temperature. Ergo it doesn’t matter which scale we use as long as we’re used to it and can handle it.

    I’m saying there is literally zero advantage to ambient temperature and cooking temperature being on the same scale.

    But there’s also no disadvantage. Also, we’re measuring more temperatures than just weather and cooking. And having everything on the same scale makes it just convenient and relatable to each other. We have a feeling for what’s hot and what not just by seeing a number, because we know and use that scale for everything.

    wouldn’t advocate for a different system of ambient temperature measurement but for the fact that Fahrenheit already exists.

    I mean, I grew up on Celsius and never came into contact with Fahrenheit before the age of 17 or something. It didn’t exist to me before that, I had no disadvantage before knowing it existed, nothing was missing, etc.

    I feel confident that I’ve outlined pragmatic advantages, more than simply “I’m used to it.”

    Cannot confirm.




  • No, it’s not better. Nor is it worse per see, it’s just a matter of being used to it. The advantage of using Celsius in day to day stuff is just that I don’t need to learn and convert two different scales. Because we all do chemistry every day (unless you don’t cook. In that case, learn to cook, it’s quite the skill).
