I once tried to fall asleep to erotica on the theory that I’d have erotic dreams instead of nightmares but I couldn’t fall asleep so I listened to my sex playlist instead

Actually, earthquake magnitude can be projected to negative numbers. It’s well defined but it stops describing earthquakes. For instance, a -3 magnitude earthquake is the energy released by a cat knocking your cell phone off of a nightstand. (see page 290 of this book). Pretty sure the others are also logarithmic scales which are well-defined for any negative number. It just so happens that those negative numbers don’t describe anything we care to describe with those scales.

Nonlinear measures are used for
- Brightness of lights
- Loudness of noises
- Magnitude of earthquakes
Why not temperature?

Absurd. An attempt to establish your own religion as the dominant religion is not a result of a specific bias against Jews, as antisemitism implies. It is a belief that oneself is superior that results in a bias against anyone who is different
Calling it antisemitic is a tacit prioritization of your own marginalization over the marginalization of others, which fundamentally comes from the same mindset

All that is baseless capitalist propaganda
