Dashing through the bush in a rusty Holden ute. Kicking up the dust, esky in the boot. Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs, It’s summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs. Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer’s day, Oh, Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut. Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.

Jokes on you, my parents never used physical punishment, so this hasn’t stirred me to action. So, take that!

Out of curiousity, which one is this?
And whether you look under the rug, is that true in all texts of the religion?

This is the first useful example of fahrenheit I’ve ever heard.
Doesn’t really beat 0°C being freezing (great for weather), in my opinion, but still nice!
Thanks

Does this mean the big bang happened in -273.15 BC?

I dunno, seems pretty rock solid that the majority of people aren’t praying to the Christian god, seeing as nowhere even close to a majority of people on earth are Christian.
There are all sorts of religions out there, and many who don’t believe in religion at all.
I do agree that all humans are prone to bias, that’s why it’s so important to be aware of it in order to mitigate it.
The OOP making some stupid religious claims, definitely is not aware.
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 4 weeks ago:
It’s because they missed the point of my comment. That it’s selection bias to claim that everyone is praying to the Christian god, when statistically, that can’t be true, even if they are praying.
The selection bias had nothing to do with selecting the planes that crashed, but selecting planes that crashed in the US, which is a much more Christian country than many other places.
- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 4 weeks ago:
This mfer has never heard of selection bias.
What are the bets they’re in the US, and hearing about crashes mostly in the US?
Christianity may be the largest religion in the world, but it’s a plurality, not a majority.

This is fairly common in various industrial sites when it’s big enough.

While there are many such people, there are also many workers who are just as exploited by capitalism as you, and are just getting by, or work for a company that does work for oil companies from time to time and you don’t get to choose what projects you’re on.
As with most things, it’s capitalism that needs to end in order to have much chance of mitigating climate catastrophe.

A friend of a friend worked at a plant where someone got fired for riding around on the provided bicycles with no hands and crashed.
Shit like this would also most certainly get you fired at any plant.

As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Without looking into it further, I’m gonna guess the same reason I find a lot of people I agree with on a number of issues so insufferable: holier-than-thou, self-congratulatory, moral crusading.
Just existing and being willing to answer people’s questions genuinely is way more effective. I literally never bring it up, people only find out by happenstance and often ask about it themselves. If they don’t, it’s not that interesting (in my opinion).
Anecdotally, anyway.

Nah buddy, we all went to school, and it’s abundantly clear that in modern English, and animal is part of the Kingdom Animalia.
So, the only people (in the English speaking world) who don’t think of insects or fish an animals, either are of a much, much older generation, or didn’t do very well in school.
Most fucking 6-year-olds, in Australia at least, would be able to answer yes to “is a fish an animal?”.

This is an argument that gets rolled out a lot but the argument is also based on vibes.
Celcius having zero at freeing is actually useful with weather.
100 being boiling, is also nice for cooking.
The rest is arbitrary, and cope from US customary users who can’t accept that metric is the same or better in every single way.

Found the Americans.
I kid, but it’s °C, not C°
And K had no degrees at all.
The other two units are not mentioned in this household.

What language is this from? Is it a variant of Mandarin or another Chinese language?
My reasons for confusion 头水：my Pinyin keyboard doesn’t even want to write this. Is this supposed to be 口水？
小豆脑：is this some metaphor?
‘My saliva is gone. I want that those electrolytes give me tofu brain [very soft tofu for other people reading], very constipated’
I’m a very confused Chinese learner.
Edit before responding: I think I understand the metaphor now lol
