Well I don't know what that is but my educated guess is 3.5

My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I'm not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

Always is a real stretch, but I get your point. The reason is that being angry is easier than being happy.

The winner of a political debate is whoever the audience likes more. It unfortunately has nothing to do with being a reasonable person.

There's a small town in Missouri I visited named Versailles and its pronounced ver-sails.

Air travel is an infinitely more complex and involved problem to solve. There is no method of safely flying without going through mountains of bullshit first.

So you do know what I've been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.

I don't care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren't switching purely because they hate change, and they don't care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I've been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I'm arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don't think the switch is worth it.

By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say "you're wrong, no I will not elaborate". If you're not interested in having a conversation then don't respond, no one is forcing you to do this.

If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I'll be here.

American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren't being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.

We are used to 2 liter bottles, so we still use them. We run 5ks because its been a standard distance to run for a long time. Other countries also do similar things, old habits die hard.

We use metric for science and medicine because the benefits of metric are much more pronounced for those use cases.

Honestly, using both really isnt that hard. Its only really an inconvenience if you aren't already used to it. We aren't changing it because we're getting along just fine the way things are, and there are much bigger problems to be solved.

My only real problem with emulation is that I haven't found a good way to connect my pc to a crt. I've been wanting to play oot randomizers on a proper display but I'm not willing to buy an everdrive at the moment.

 

A lot of the posts here are just pointing out how illogical religion is, which I don't mind. I'm religious myself, but I'm well aware how ridiculous it is. What does bother me is the arguments against Christianity that are used as arguments against all religions. Most of you were likely raised christian, so I understand why you focus on it, but most religions don't have all of the problems Christianity does. I think a lot of the posts here would fit better in an ex-christian community.
