Millimeters as well for you? It’s probably because having to use fractions is so much less intuitive.

The body is going to react to anything that it stops getting after it has been getting it consistently. Caffeine is perfectly legal and I get bad migraines from quitting it.

It’s weird, because small units I think about it cm, not imperial.

That’s a good idea that I think I will try out. To be honest, I have a pretty hard time visualizing distance, even with imperial, so sadly I don’t think that help will help me in that area.

Did you grow up using metric?

I mean, yeah, I’m not arguing that imperial is a better system. Metric is superior, absolutely. I’m just arguing against the statement that there’s no reason to use it.

There is a reason. When you grow up with people around you using imperial units to describe things, you think in terms of it. If you tell me 10 ft., I can picture that in my head, I have an idea of how much that is in real terms. If you tell me 10m, I have no mental idea of how much that is, even if I can convert it. It’s like a language you grow up speaking, versus one you learn later in life.

I do think metric the sole system used in schools, to be honest.

Source? https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2018/03/01/1-generations-party-identification-midterm-voting-preferences-views-of-trump/ Y’all really do have this boomer scapegoat in your head. Also, millennials make up a larger voting bloc now than boomers.

Being snarky towards homeless people! You’re really showing them! Stick it to those stupid boomers!

Ok? A majority of the top level comments on this post are saying that they are unsympathetic towards the homelessness problem because they are boomers, or even insinuating that they deserve it.

“I’d like to be sympathetic” Based on your comment it seems like quite the opposite, actually. You’re no better than this boomer boogeyman figure you’ve created in your head.

The vitriol towards baby boomers is disturbing. Blaming a single, entire, generation for all of the current problems in the US is insane. It’s like if we blamed millennials for the Trump craziness.
