Here’s my comment from the last time this came up (like a week ago):
“There’s been no meaning shift. The “possessive” and “envious” uses of jealous both date from the 14th century in English, and both senses were present in the ancestors of these words all the way back to Greek.”
It’s always been synonymous with “envious”, as far back as we can trace.
This isn’t the case, because humans can handle significantly larger deviations from “comfortable” on the cold side than the hot side, so again Fahrenheit gets it pretty much right.
This is horrible logic. If anything, it should be: you need to learn Celsius if you are doing science, but most people aren’t scientists and therefore don’t need to learn Celsius, so this isn’t really a problem that comes up for a lot of Fahrenheit users.
According to Wikipedia Rankine is properly used with the degree symbol, but sometimes is not by analogy with Kelvin.
I just wanted to thank you for bringing this perspective to the conversation even though you’re getting absolutely blasted for it. That’s a great comic too - I’m saving that for later.
Thanks for taking the time to write such an informed and in-depth comment!
Since the article won’t let me access it for “security purposes”, that’s not very helpful.
Sekiro has the best combat of any game I’ve ever played, so I’d be satisfied with just having something like it in other FS games.
…entirely in Sony’s hands.
Not on lemmy.ml there isn’t!
Case in point.
“Does anyone else… (have trouble finishing video games/use their toenail clippings to add texture to a pot of chili/etc.)?”
Where science? Where meme?
An excellent choice.
Probably a-ha’s “Take On Me” if I’m being honest.
Since you’re getting blasted here, I just wanted to hop on the downvote train to let you know that I think you’re exactly right on all counts.
Like go ahead and argue for an end to misandristic violence if you’d like.
Nah, I’ll go ahead and argue for an end to all violent crime, and not exclude the victims who aren’t lucky enough to have their gender be the reason they were murdered.
I’ve never understood this prevalent idea that murder victims are only worth caring about if their gender played a role. Like, how horribly fucked-up is it to say that some murder victims are more worthy of concern than others, especially when those victims only comprise a small minority of murders?
Being killed because of your gender and being killed because you were in the wrong place or because you looked like an easy mark are all equally bad reasons to murder someone. They’re also all phenomena that could just as easily be addressed by government programs like in the OP, and yet all we ever hear about is the “violence against women” epidemic that only affects a minority of victims.
Plus, even if the numbers of women murdered for their gender is going up (which is obviously horrible and inexcusable), that number still has a long way to go before it even approaches the much higher number of men who are already being killed every year. Like, of course it’s a horrible thing that the number of murdered women is increasing, but I fail to see how that’s so much more important than the much higher number of men who are already being killed, but that nobody is doing anything about.
I mean, the reason for it is the same as it always is - men are seen as disposable by society and therefore issues affecting them are ignored - it just sucks to constantly be inundated with evidence of just how deeply ingrained this misandry is in our society.
This but unironically. Please, please stop demonizing men and actually think about them for once.
Apparently eleventy-bajillion dollars wasn’t enough.
