- Comment on YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection 5 days ago:
I mean the problem with any projection of earth onto a 2d simplified shape surface is that it will be inherently distorted. The Mercator projection is scaled properly towards the equator but has to scale upwards more and more toward the poles to be able to fit the given area.
Even their own map, which for some reason isn’t shown in either the video or on the main page, isn’t accurate either. It’s better but is also warped in its own way, it would be nice if they had a little blurb that says something to that effect.
Here’s the actual map projection they are pushing for; equal-earth.com/equal-earth-projection.html

What next you are going to ask how many inches in a mile? Those are two units that aren’t used in the same context. I’d be like if I asked you how many seconds are in a year. Or if asked you how big a notebook is in kilometers, rather than in centimeters.
A hybrid system really isn’t as wild of a concept as it sounds. We already just use conventional time keeping, metric is largely forgotten because of how unhelpful it was. metrictime.info
Doesn’t mean you have to take all of the weird units and conversions from imperial but it means to cherry pick the best of both worlds so we have a system that just works with what real people use it for.
- Comment on LYING TO CHILDREN 6 days ago:
If you want people who use imperial then don’t be an asshole and alienate them. But if you are gonna be an asshole at least be right about the thing you are talking about. I know metric time is largely forgotten but at least have a basic understanding of you want to talk shit.
- Comment on LYING TO CHILDREN 6 days ago:
Goddamn I thought you had reading comprehension for a second there, my mistake.
The best solution is a hybrid system, which *we* already use…
and…if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system!
Here is an article for metric time: metrictime.info Does that look that look like the classic 24 hours in a day system most people use? No? Congrats than you learned something today.
- Comment on LYING TO CHILDREN 6 days ago:
Honestly I never really have fully gotten the whole metric vs imperial debate. The best solution is a hybrid system, which we already use and most people don’t realize it. Like if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system! Guess what you use if you are in an imperial country? You use liters, milliliters, gram and milligrams for stuff already! Just mix the two so you have the best of both worlds rather than try to remain dogmatically stuck with an objectively worse version of either system.

- Comment on Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with? 3 weeks ago:
Okay here’s some advice from a lesbian.
First, drop the word “female”, we are people not animals.
Second, money doesn’t matter to a lot of people, some women want their partner to provide for them, many do not want that. Women had to fight extremely hard to be able to work jobs, have bank accounts and have access to credit and debit cards. Financial independence can be an extremely big deal to people.
Third, try to not be super picky with who you want as a partner. It’s a bit of cliché advice but it’s one that is important to remember. Not every women is a super model, nor does everyone have the hourglass figure. Be okay with them not being perfect and try to accept them for who they are.
Fourth, really need to emphasize this here but be accepting of quirks and flaws. While this is very similar to the third thing, it is a bit different. Quite a few people who have flirted with me have had quite gross reactions to my quirks and flaws and it’s a big red flag.
Fifth, be patient with yourself. Make sure you are actually in a proper place mentally before tackling a relationship. A quick look through you post history shows you have some issues you are working on and I’d make sure you have them under good control.
Sixth, like others have said but work on getting good, healthy, stable friendships first. Friends can introduce you to people and who knows if you hit it off with them.
Seventh, don’t expect sex early on or at all. Some people love sex, others can be apathetic towards it and others can be adverse to it. If you aren’t sexually compatible that’s fine just be open about it and be willing to move on if sex matters a lot to you.

- Comment on I feel like it was on purpose 4 weeks ago:
Mhmm conservatism is a blight on humanity, nothing good will ever come of it. Every single time a conservative gets in power anywhere it always makes things worse. It is a fucking parasite that most be removed or else it will be the end of you. It denies progress, why do you think we constantly have to fight for basic human rights? Why do you think they want to go back to the 1950’s so badly? They hate that they can’t be openly racist, openly homophobic and openly transphobic. They want to drive everyone into having to play up to their ideals regardless of what you want.
