@AcademicAgent_X @BinarySurfer But if it’s a longer lengths ft or Meters. Old fashioned carpet 12ft roll length, modern carpet 5or4 meters. Car Wheels in inches. TVs inches. Horses in Hands. Large land mass in sq miles.
@AcademicAgent_X @BinarySurfer 100% agree. However, litre for fuel (because that’s how it’s sold). But then, MPG for fuel consumption. BHP and ftlb for car performance. KG in the gym. Force in Nm. Cooking measures in grams and ml/l. Buildings (my business) in Acres, SqFt for area but cm/mm for small length.
@AcademicAgent_X I’d say they do it for the same reason fashions filters down to the lower classes. They notice who’s got clout, who’s lorded, who’s pushed by the media, who gets the gibs. Same reason why Hungarian women are over represented in porn.
@ItIsHoeMath Subversion (as you mention) has always been out of the key woke traits for me. Especially when it comes to pop culture. I just try and avoid it. I have also taken to using the term “but white”, it’s what’s generally meant when it comes to progressive argumentation.
@Sargon_of_Akkad My kids primary teachers are the same, I’ve told them as much. My campaign to ban anyone who wears patterned dungarees from working with children continues.
