  • Idk, gotta ask OP. But six years ago was 2020, a round year, another "warmest year since recording" that seems kinda chill from today's perspective. Though this is yet another made up explanation after the fact.

  • I mean, it's still brickbuilt. Not everyoane likea that, that's fine, but it's just part of what it is. For people who don't like that, there's Revell or similar companies.

  • Exactly. That's why it is a trend that can continue.

  • I get that. I'd still differentiate, because in soap opera, these conflicts are more caricatures, driven to the extreme. In BSG they are mostly understandable, sometimes even relatable and grounded in experiences you could make in real life.

  • I mean, one of if not the best shows of the last decade (imho) was The Expanse, a character driven, very hard sci fi show.

  • But that is just character driven plot, not soap opera.

  • Out of all the Star Trek shows PIC represents your happy place? You truly are one of a kind.

  • Where meme?

  • Because for me, temperatures above 25°C just mean suffering, getting steam-cooked in my own juices, and the sun just burns me. Couple of years ago I got sunburned so badly I got sexond degree burns, blisters and all included. I'm most comfortable around 17-19°C, 20-25°C is beach weather to me.

  • I don't even have a dedicated cold weather kit anymore, I play the onion game for a few years now. My "winter clothing" consists of undershirts, t-shirts, hoodies and a rain jacket. If it gets too cold, I wear sweatpants under my regular cargos and start stacking underlayers, but that doesn't happen all too often.

  • Because polyester is the cheapest option. But there were people living in the Arctic before plastic bags sewn into clothing became a thing. And sometimes even these ancient ethnic clothing adapts into modern eras, like Sámi gákti that originally made from deer hide is nowadays made from wool, silk or even cotton.

    Also, the Arctic isn't the only place where a linen shirt won't suffice all year long. But you can be veyr comfortable wearing a shirt, a nice hoodie and a light to medium jacket even in sub zero weather (though for some that's more an autumn combination for single digit temperarures above zero).

  • Remember when humanity had not almost eradicated two seasons through climate change and you could be a spring or autumn lover?

  • Polyester isn't needed. Layers of cotton (and sometimes linen) work well enough. Or any other plant fibre spun and knitted or woven into fabric. Wool and downs are also good at insulating, but they come with a slew of other issues (like everything else made from animals).

    I had this discussiom before. It always ends in circling around unchanging positions and repitition of arguments brought up before. I don't want to play that game. Make of that whatever the fuck you want, but leave it be for fucks sake and stop trying to make me argue again. It won't work.

  • Because I'm tired of talking to a wall.

  • No, your original comment was correct, OP left out the key detail that this image is always recontextualized by added text. That recontextualization creates the meme.

  • I would not agree. If I download a post, the title is not downloaded with it, is it?

  • Richard Dawkins himself has renounced the definition he set. Go read a book.

    Plus he was always critizised for that definition by his peers, for example by Scott Atran showed through cognitive psychological studies that ideas do not regularly replicate by imitation and that ideas do not develope like genes.

    And on top of that, Dawkins is a dickhead. And a dumb one falling into an AI psychosis.

  • Counterpoint to your counterpoint: that image is a meme template, an image used to create memes through adding text that recontextualizes the image.
