THERE'S NO DEGREES IN KELVIN!
Have you tried yelling about it?
533.070 ⁰R for hipsters.
Its what Trump wished his rallies looked like
That is a sight to behold.
I was at a protest last winter in Chicago. I believe it was 16 degrees. It was insane. My buddy and I bundled up. Layers. He brought heat packs. We prepared.
It was still brutal. We found walking helped but damn. I think we only lasted just shy of 2 hours. We tried but even my thick thighs (covered by my coat) were starting to feel pain from the cold within the first hour.
I say this because that's still 25 degrees warmer than it was for these people
Damn that's some hardcore protesting in Minnesota.
Isn't 16 F just - 8 C?
Thereabouts. Chicago is always windy though. It's absolutely no joke being outside like that.
I mean it's cold weather but I assumed it would've been more if it was described as brutal and whatnot
They're remembering their experience in - 10 C, which was already brutal to them, and imagining how terrible it must have been for the folks in Minneapolis in - 23C.
There were loads of people giving hand warmer out for free. And saw one guy had a big cooler jug like at football games full of hot cider he was passing out
Who knew tailgating would turn out to be praxis?
Community building is a huge part of praxis
in -10°F no less
What’s that in °Civilized?
Google says it's -23C. WTF are they rooting at the north pole or something
Nah that's just a cold day in middle of winter up north. Fucking brutal if it's windy though, or if you haven't grown up getting used to it

Holy hell, we haven't had that kind of cold in Denmark for a long time. But I still remember the special feeling of your nose hair freezing up.
The weirdest part is that Minneapolis is further south than Milano
-23 fucking brass monkeys mate
It's really an impressive strike.
Where was ICE during all this? Obviously not near a crowd large enough they couldn't intimidate.
Godamn
Or
OH geez* for you beautiful Midwest bastards
