They were so, so close to getting to the truth of the thing. Hamstrung in the final mile by the very effect they are unwittingly describing

And your cognitive dissonance is incredible. Are you happy or unhappy that he left the race? Based on just these couple tweets, it’s impossible to understand where you might stand on the matter

Whatever nonsense you are spewing has essentially nothing to do with the topic at hand. A common fallacy of your type, nothing sensible to say on this situation? Just start regurgitating bullshit about something else.

What are you even babbling about? This man has been abused, threatened, and he and his family are suffering. He didn’t stand much chance of winning a third bid anyway (unprecedented). So he stepped back to protect himself and his family and open the path for another.

What? You ignorant doomers who believe there is no solution are the real problem. Oh well things look bad guess we should just give up. Just take yourself out and be done with it.

So many ignorant assholes with no perspective on the situation making absolutely idiotic statements. We need a new party.

He’s still a man, a father, a husband. So things considered, it seems as if his election was nowhere near guaranteed, and he and his family were legitimately suffering. Passing the baton seems reasonable both personally and politically.

I feel so embarrassed that I once felt hopeful for this guy.

In addition to being a moron, I guess you’re also a dick. I mentioned precision exactly once (if you don’t understand the value of precision then you never stood a chance of understanding any of my arguments), and gave several other points earlier. Closing with a logical fallacy was a special touch

I mean… when you check the temp are concerned with your body literally freezing or boiling off all its water? Come on. Either you’re not arguing in good faith, or something else. I dunno. Anyway, we can agree to disagree on how much precision we prefer in our measurements.

Then consider how relevant that is to measuring air temperature on earth. Not very.

I guess, in as objective a way as possible, consider why the range of Celsius was chosen. To easily identify the physical state of water relative to temperature measurement. It’s no accident that 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling. It’s an intuitive range, easy to reason with and operate on.

We could use 345 for freezing point and 360 for boiling, but you might imagine that would be awkward and inconvenient to use.

I mean, you don’t NEED any particular scale to describe temp, as long as we agree on what it means. The point is Fahrenheit is much more friendly for describing common air temperatures, with a simple, intuitive scale of 0-100, which feels very natural to base 10 counters.
