Isn't the second part of this meme supposed to be something that is not true?

I'm learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

It's Texas Republicans we're talking about here. I'm not at all convinced that they can.

A counter example that came to my mind is rabies. Look up how that progresses. There's absolutely zero chance that I would be putting myself through that if I were diagnosed with it and it was too late for the vaccine. Assisted dying just ensures that nobody has to go through the trauma of finding my body.

What about multiplayer games? The server side is always going to be a necessity for those games.

I never really understood why people self censor their comments at all. I can't think of any major social media site that gives a shit. The YouTube algorithm cares, but that's just for the videos themselves.

Are people actually advocating for game publishers to have to keep the servers running forever? That would seem a bit of an unreasonable ask. I think a reasonable compromise would be that if they plan to shut down the servers, the publisher should have to release the server side software.

And I can't guarantee that if I swing my arms around and walk towards you, you won't get hit.

Yes, and in that exact order.

The water argument gets brought up all the time because it's the only argument present on on either side.

After that, you are simply arguing about which number you would rather see, which is a pointless argument to have. You like 0 to 100, I like negative numbers, so I would rather use -18 to 38. Arguing one or the other is like arguing if grey or beige is the "better" colour.

Basing a unit of measure on a purely subjective and variable thing like "it feels hot/cold" is a terrible idea. The metric system specifically tries to avoid that.

Plus, whether it feels hot/cold is going to be equally easy in metric and imperial, since nobody's personal preference falls in the same place. At least with metric, there's an additional point of reference for worrying about ice.
