    But this isn’t reality. Trumps “opinions” have created monsters, something that is changing the world. RFK and his not believing in diseases, and measles outbreaking again because of his “opinions”?.

    My opinion on games may not matter, but shitty opinions disguised as fact are 100% poison that spreads like wildfire amongst idiots. Look at Muskrat, Tesla tanking because he’s a shit person with bad “opinions”, calling them facts, he’s just a liar.

    Tldr: some opinions do matter and can irrevocable damage the world.

    See the green parts? The ranting is to prevent them from turning yellow, or blue.

      What you don’t see here are china and parts of the middle east, hovering nebulously in an indistinct location on the other side of the globe.

    Alright, everyone post your opinions.

    I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.

    We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.

    Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.

      I never understood base 12 arguments. If you’re finding it more useful to count in sets of 12, nothing about the base 10 system stops you. Base just refers to the number of symbols used, it doesn’t change any of the mathematics.

        So you actually count by segments of the finger, using your thumb as a tapper. Crook your index finger and look at it - three segments, right? (At least for most people) The segment nearest your hand is 1, middle is 2, end is 3. Middle finger is 4, 5, 6, etc. So you can count up to 12 on four fingers.

        Then you use your non-dominant hand to mark dozens. Count to 12 on your main hand, raise on finger on your second hand, repeat. So you can actually count to 60 just on your hands.

      I agree with the first one, the second one is factually incorrect (agriculture is only 10% of human CO2 emissions even in the meat-hungry US), and I have no clue what Mass Effect is so I can’t comment on the last one.

        It ain’t the emissions, it’s the land use. About 40% of the USA’s land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That’s a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.

          That’s a good point, though there’s a significant financial barrier to building renewable infrastructure that doesn’t go away just because land is available.
