Having slept outside in -40, in an unheated (there were attempts but the too late and too small a stove to make a difference), windy tent, when I had to open my bedroll with significant amounts of violence to even have a “bed” to sleep on — I would humbly like to disagree.
Even though some of these summer nights I would definitely want an actually cool bed, never have I ever dreamed of having to sleep in those circumstances.
No such thing as too cool — but definitely a thing as too cold.
But highest amount of NHL players per capita and suddenly the top three is Finland, Sweden and Canada, while USA falls way behind.
Even though it’s the “Nation” in the “National Hockey League”.
Correction, I managed to shame you into actually writing something instead of that childish spam.
You still can’t address why you’re in the thread to begin with. The proof that I am right is in you spamming “k” for a dozen comments because you can’t discuss the definition of “arbitrary” because you realise your previous statements weren’t correct. And you’re just not big enough of a person to admit that to yourself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dig your pit deeper.
Remember how you said you “love being proved wrong”?
Well timekeeping systems aren’t arbitrary. Care to comment? No…? ;>
Good looking, intellectual, profile, eh?
I won this time, like I usually do.
You’re dragging this out because you’re pretending you didn’t. But… You can’t talk about the thread. You’re just seething that you’re caught in this. Ego makes you reply without you being able to talk about why you’re in the thread to start with.
Like I’ve said, I’ve seen this a 1000 times. You think you’re being clever. No. You’re just being infantile.
The great part is you can’t say anything, showing you’re only here because of your ego, despite having literally nothing to say, while I keep giving you options and urging you to just accept growth. You know, since you “love admitting when you’re wrong”?
Remember when you were talking about how you love to admit it when you make mistakes, because it’s a learning opportunity? Or was that someone else pulling this same shit. Because again, I have seen this 1000 times over several years if not decades.
I don’t want to come off as bullying, but I think it’ll benefit from you if you learn to handle situations like this. So I’m gonna keep replying. Sorry.
Why do you consider timekeeping systems to be arbitrary?

What’s “arbitrary” mean?
To me this reads like one of those bad jokes on the expense of trans people in 90’s media. Like how Ace Ventura has sex with a trans woman, then only after he learns it, he starts gagging and washing his teeth religiously and like pumping his face with a plumber; it’s hypocritical. You already enjoyed it, now you’ve learned something about it, it’s suddenly shit and retroactively changes your previous enjoyment to disgust?
Perhaps you never liked HP, but practically the entire world did, before we knew how JKR will turn out. I’m not gonna give her a cent and previously used money for any HP related things like… 20 years ago, but I’m also not going to pretend they weren’t meaningful to me or that her politics will retroactively change those feelings.
I live in SW Finland on the coast of the Baltic Sea. It’s wet and cold 90% of the year.
We still have this sort of book exchange in the entrance way to my local shop. A tiny bookshelf/night desk. Not too common though, I can’t think of any others right now.
But like the weather shouldn’t be the issue, that’s just an engineering problem at that point. I imagine like a glass doored fridge with some dehumidifiers placed inside should probably work in most places to protect books.
You’re basically refusing to take an L that you’ve already taken. Yeah, it’s a cringe expression. So is “cringe”, but times evolve.
As I said, you’ve already “lost”. You can’t address the topic, but yet your ego keeps forcing you to come back and reply. I’ve been in threads like these for months. The thing is, I can say whatever and address anything said in the thread, while you can’t.
What’s the definition of “arbitrary” and why do you think timekeeping systems are arbitrary?
So now you’re in the “I’m gonna return every few days, so my profile won’t look as silly when all my childish answers aren’t packed one after another, but spread over weeks”-phase?
Like I said, I’ve genuinely been down this path hundreds of times before, seen your exact “tactic” employed. You have nowhere to go, and you can’t address the topic at all. Check mate. You’ve lost, and now you’re just digging deeper and deeper.

You can mix truths in with lies and that would still absolutely be considered dishonest, but you cannot mix lies into truths and still be honest.
Depends on how you look at it. For instance if someone asks about a subjective matter, and you know they’re not asking because they wish to know your opinion about the subject matter, but because they need psychological reassurance or some such thing.
For example “does this make my ass look big”? Or “do I look good in this dress?”
Would you consider a person dishonest for reassuring someone who might have struggled with weight and confidence issues, even if they might not regard that person personally attractive to them?
Is it lying? Perhaps. Is it dishonest? Unless you think there’s some objective standard for what is a big ass and what is good-looking, then it’s gonna be hard to argue either of those are lies, no matter what the scenario. You can also do “well no, that doesn’t make your ass look big, it looks the same size both with and without pants” or “no, that dress doesn’t make you look good, you always look good”.
“Never cruel or cowardly. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind.”
Took me a while to realise it’s because Trump administration is aggressively scrubbing anything to do with “diversity”
Language acquisition and rote memorisation aren’t exactly 1:1.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_acquisition
It’s like the difference between reading a dictionary and only going forward after you’ve learned a page by heart vs simply starting to read simpler novels even when you don’t understand all the words, and picking it up as you go along. Understanding form context.
Yes, and?
Nordic (or Finnish/Swedish at least) “sandwich cake”.
