Oh, God, such nonsense

Nah, it's that it's not as "deep" as it thinks it is.

Like 97% of them

Damn few shows are worth my time these days. Re-tread it's galore, with simplistic emotional appeal to get you to react and continue to watch. Essentially producers saw what worked for "reality" TV in the 90's and applied that same juvenile, transparent, boring approach to new shows.

Why does a clothes washer scare apples?

Hahaha, love the idea!

The two formulas are:

F=(C x 1.8)+32

C=(F-32)/1.8

If you think about the formula for converting, it's close to multiplying or dividing by 2. This step is off by about 10% (1.8/2=0.9). So converting from F to C, subtract 32, divide by 2, then add 10%.

For C to F, multiply by 2, subtract 10%, then add 32.

At typical temps, I've found this is usually within a degree, and easy to do in my head (and I have zero working memory).

So 2 is now all people over 60?

These gals are approaching 50 now...

Lol, I tried using Discord garbage 2 or 3 times, just can't see why people like it. It was an awful experience every time. Convoluted, unintuitive UI, terrible software from a performance and stability standpoint. Seemed like software designed by committee with no clear objectives, and then coded by one schizophrenic dev who was just learning programming.

It's staggering to me it's as successful as it is.

Never used it, never even intentionally been on the website.

There's some truth here, like poorly-treated children probably have difficulty with empathy, except I've known a few people that had very hard childhoods and are some of the kindest people I've ever met, as if they developed past those issues to understand how important empathy is.

I also come from a large family, and while my siblings and my cousins had very similar upbringings, the variability in things like empathy and justice is extensive even among siblings (notably including twins).

To me it seems like there's a strong element of innate character trait with this stuff, as we've watched kids grow up and seen their character at 2 years old remain consistent into adulthood. If this stuff were driven mostly by environment, then at least most kids would be similar... And we've found they aren't, it's all over the map, unpredictable by the environment.

Not to say environment doesn't/can't influence, it certainly can, but I don't believe it's usually the primary driver, just in cases where the environment is notably negative
