    That is true, but Republican’s electoral base mostly agrees with this whereas democrat’s electoral base doesn’t. Many Pro-republicans will gleefully vote for genocide or deny than that’s what’s going on. Pro-democrats, however are asked to tolerate genocide to vote for the lesser of two evils. It makes sense that the latter will protest and demand that the politicians who are supposed to represent them change their ways.

    “Ususally more precise” > This depends on how precisely it is set, not on the display. Unless it’s a connected watch, but then it’s much more expensive and less energy efficient.

    “1.1 translatable into written text” > Both are, you’re reading the same number

    “Uses the superior 24h system” > Adding 12 to a number isn’t complicated. And with habit, most people who use analog watches and the 24h system know which position of the needle means what number in 24h format without doing the math. Some clocks don’t even have digits. Unless you’ve been sedated and woke up in a room without windows, you’ll know which side of 12 you’re on. And otherwise, you’ve got more pressing issues.

    A lot, since I have an analog wristwatch and a wall clock. There were also analog clocks in several of the exam rooms where I last had exams.

    I guess many people don’t use them regularly, but regardless, the simple fact that they still exist is enough to be worth learning about them. Not everything you learn at school is meant to be used every single day.





  • Yeah. A French equivalent could be “Nique l’extrème-droite”, but that would come out as ruder. Both words have the same literal meaning and same use in their respective language, but when " fuck" is used in French, it’s further from it’s literal meaning. “Fuck X” is then always perceived as a vague statement of hostility towards X, without the sexual connotation.
