Another way the US is behind the rest of the world. Imperial measurements.
yeah, but full disclosure: no one in canada (except the medical profession) measures their weight in kilograms or their height in meters.
I'm still 6 feet tall and noneofyourdamnbusiness pounds.
True, and to be honest, I can't even remember how many kg I weight or how tall I am in cm. But the only reason we're still thinking about body measurements and sometimes distance/length in imperial terms is because of how ubiquitous the US's media is here. What's weird is that we mix it up so much. Canadians never ever think of volume in imperial terms, and we all very loyally stick with Celsius. I am not sure how or why we all seem to have naturally and uniformly adopted a weird mishmash of the two systems.
my dad still makes fun of me when he tells me the temperature in Fahrenheit and I have to ask him what the real temperature is. (I realize Fahrenheit is not imperial, but it is only used primarily in the US and everyone else switched to metric).
I know 32F is freezing, and I know anything over 80 is too hot. Otherwise, it's meaningless to me, lol.

There is no real reason that a primary voter in New Hampshire or South Carolina should have more lasting electoral power than the entire city of San Francisco.
One thing I can count on is power enjoying R's to stand up against the idea of one person one vote. They're too entrenched.
So it makes sense for the city of San Francisco to have more voting weight than some states in their entirety? Issues specific to San Francisco are very different from rural Wyoming and should not guide political pandering...there are local and state elections for that.
I know what local is. Maybe we should re think the definition of what STATES are and what a STATE is, other than just lines on a map.
10 millimetres = 1 centimetre 100 centimetres = 1 metre 1000 metres = 1 kilometre
Oh, that crazy, complicated metric system!
it's way better than that
it takes 1 calorie to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius 1 gram of water is also 1 cubic centimeter is also one milliliter
I was sticking with basics, but yes, additional amazing features of the metric system.
so....how do you order a beer?
it's still a pint, right?

Does anyone care that the First Lady is a useless, disinterested do-nothing? I have the impression that nobody gives a shit at all, which is a bit weird, considering how strongly Americans seem to feel about First Ladies in general. Are they all just happy that she's staying out of the picture, so don't mention her in case it inspires her to try and do something? Or is everyone just in denial about her? I.e. they don't want to admit how pathetic she is and what she symbolizes as far as the POTUS goes?

Considering all the demeaning and angry names President Trump has been and is still being called daily by some, saying that remark on twitter about the facelift isn't really that bad. It's not even name calling.

^^^ President Trump gets male shamed all the time. Why is that fair?
He doesn't get male shamed. He gets shamed for his own shameful behaviour (I do think people should lay off the orange/hair comments though, which also aren't male shaming insults. They are irrelevant. Focus on his disgusting personality and revolting actions - that is what matters).

What about the hands? He can't help the body he was born with. Equality for all. People want to make him feel as though his small hands imply something. It doesn't. It' s not nice to make fun of what people naturally look like.

shamed over lack of intellect is not cool...mmmkay
It is when you're talking about the POTUS man. What, are people supposed to be super polite and sensitive when the fucking POTUS is a complete moron? No. Let's maintain at least some standards, lol. BTW, not you Tiki, but I seriously cannot believe how many people still struggle with the concept of what is sexist and what isn't. It's really disheartening that such a huge portion of the population just can't seem to wrap their minds around the entire issue of female equality and the subtleties that are involved when you're talking about a group of people who are discriminated against vs a group of people who are not discriminated against. Some seem to think that all things are equal between them, when obviously that is far from true.
