  • Oh look, another knuckle-dragger, swell!

    Of course, decimals exist, so it really isn’t a big deal.

    It’s not a big deal, it’s patently false. Unless you deal with some fundamental limit, like the Planck constant, you can split any unit as much as you like.

    But at least you admit you just make up baseless „arguments“ simply in order to be right.

    You know what that makes you? A fucking troll.

    Get lost. Blocked.



  • Jesus wept 🤦‍♀️

    You do understand that precision has absolutely NOTHING, at all, to do with the units you’re using? Right?

    And yes, when you’re baking, you need precision. Try making consistently good bread just by rule of thumb, I’ll wait for your results.

    BTW, measuring things by weight is not just more precise by far, most of the time it’s also easier and faster.

    But hey, be my guest trying to gauge that cup on your beaker that’s 10% off.

    And yes, if your butcher sells you meat, you would like to pay what you bought, and not 5% more.

    And it doesn’t matter if that’s g, lbs, oompah loompahs or whatever. 5% of something is 5%.

    FFS is this a knuckle-dragging contest here?


  • There aren’t many instances in normal life where accuracy and precision are that important […] unless you’re building something, baking something, or selling something by weight

    Yeah, because building, baking, or selling something by weight are totally not important and absolutely common “instances in normal life” 🤡

    Good fucking grief…


  • Unless you’re an ultra-orthodox marxist, there is no such thing as trüe communism™.

    There always have been many different ideas what „communism“ is, e.g. there have been various „nationalist communist“ ideologies (complicated by the fact that the Russian SFSR called everything „nationalist“ that wasn’t 100% aligned with its ideas of the Soviet Union, e.g. Hungary).

    There are also no clear boundaries between communism, socialism, and anarchism, e.g. Kropotkin with his theories of anarchist communism.

    That being said, I don’t think communism is a system (either social or economic), it’s strictly an idealogy, meaning it’s a way to achieve something, i.e. the classless and stateless society. If you follow that thought to its logical end, you cannot even „achieve“ communism at all, since at this point e.g. the proletariat ceases to exist, and as a result you cannot have a „dictatorship of the proletariat“.

    It’s… complicated.
