"which actually no you cant do"

I literally just did it.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

"what temperature would that be on the celsius scale?"

That would be 'hot as hell.'

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

"Go ahead, try to explain how you could represent temperature on a scale of 0-100.. ill wait."

0 would be zero atomic/molecular/KE vibration, 100 would be vibrations at the speed of light? that could work. Or you could reverse it and call 0 the maximum energy level possible, and 100 the minimum... That could work as well. Or you could make it a logarithmic scale, or a scale that fluctuates based on how many cats you own on any given day.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

I can come up with a new scale, and call it the Kramer scale. It ranges from 'as cold as a witch's tit to hot as hell, in increments of 3.14.

All you really need to understand is 'cold' and 'hot'. and how those are different.

Left and right are also scalable, in the gestalt at least. with one end being as far left as you can get, and the other end being as far right as you can get.

This isn't rocket science, and I think you are belaboring this point not because you fail to understand how irrelevant this is, but because you wish to annoy me. I have no idea WHY, except possibly you are annoyed that I don't see someone you support as anything but a right winger, or something like that, and you are annoyed. This is a you problem, not a me problem.

In any case, the discussion is terminated.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

You will wait for a LONG time. Because I just don't care. It is irrelevant.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei If you don't use Kelvin, you are WRONG and don't know how scales work!!! Also, only 24 hour clocks are acceptable, and only sidereal time!

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei
Your argument that one scale is superior to another is going to be ignored by me, because I honestly don't care what the scale is. I just don't CARE. No one should.

@jinxhart That is a new level of findom, paying for abuse from white supremacists.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

"what quality is 0 to 100 measuring?"

A gestalt. 1 being far left principles, 100 being far right. If you want more info:

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

100 would be Genghis Khan. 0 would be government at all. Number lines are just a range. I just don't see the need for anything other than whole numbers here. If you want to toss in authoritarians... then refer to the Nolan charts.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

Looking at your number line... you see the Dems, Obama, and Biden as closer to the socialists, Greens, etc. than to the GOP? Really?? On a scale from 1-100, I see the GOP about 80. I see the dems about a 70. Dem socialists about 50, socialists about 20. Greens come in at about 30 maybe? Anything to the right of Saunders, at 50, is 'right wing.' Anything to the left of him is 'left wing.'

Your point about authoritarian vs libertarian... I addressed that in my initial post with a picture from political compass.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei , or the Green Party...

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei , just curious, where would you place Democratic socialists, actual socialists, and the communist party of America?

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

I think you don't understand the range of the political spectrum. I don't feel you CAN understand it. I think it is remarkably astute of you to understand that a left party is fringe at all, but fail to understand why.

@michelestrider I can link you to where this came from:

" In practice, health and life exceptions to bans have often proven to be unworkable, except in the most extreme circumstances, and have sometimes prevented physicians from practicing evidence-based medicine."

Or this:

"When a 21-year-old Native American woman from Oklahoma was convicted of manslaughter after having a miscarriage, people were outraged. But she was not alone."

@gettingcomputey Ever see this bit? I relate these days to the scientist:

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

"Clearly left wing".

Those words don't mean what you think they mean. They may be clearly left wing to YOU. But to me, they are all pretty far right. Go back to my statement about forests and trees.

@gettingcomputey I'm tired of it too, so I have learned to just accept the inevitable, that our children are all going to die.

@freemo @Free_Idealist @pyranose @georgetakei

"Seeing as all the evidence clearly showed the democrats are a left-wing party."

Except it doesn't clearly show that. Let me know when they have ANY left wing stance at all, like BLM, ANTIFA, defund the police, end wars, UBI, open borders, body autonomy, etc. Or even the rent being too damn high.
