how do you calibrate a fahrenheit thermometer? With celsius it's hilariously trivial, if the thermometer says it's about 0 when you see water freeze, it's correct enough for everyday use.

You do the exact same but use 32 degrees instead of zero. I know celsius is cool and good but most people seem incapable of understanding how its just fucking marks on a line and any non-sciencey advantage is pretty much null.

It makes more sense for the former unfortunately.

The original theory was that it could have been a pregnant women looking down and that's what lead to the proportions. The idea was they wouldn't have been able to see themselves in a river or something. But rivers and puddles, not to mention OTHER pregnant women, were extremely common so it's less likely.

Scouting as an idea is cool and good. Most of the problem Hexbear has with it is some elitist urban looking down on rural folk. That or confusing their personal dislike of the outdoors with an communist impetus against Scouting.

Of course, it's also filled with chuds but liberals and progressives abandoned it for the above mentioned reason so you can't blame it.

It's just better to get used to a baseline level of misery than relying on happiness to get yourself out of a funk.

That said, turn the fucking devices off, get a big fucking cup of herbal tea, and look at the natures for 30 minutes. You are not allowed to press the buttons on the misery-skinner-box until tea is gone and timer is up.

It's great if you want to break your arm jerking yourself off.

What's the chance this is a translation thing and he's talking about offering war bonds?

You can, you're just being socially pressured not to.

If you have the guts, you absolutely can just take the king. What are they gonna do? You have the king.
