It's not clear why. It could be an issue with being able to accurately perceive your own temperature, it could be a comfort thing, it could be that they're more likely to want important possessions to be harder to steal.

So either medical, emotional or social. ๐Ÿคท

I hate people who wear cold weather gear in warm/heated places

Schizophrenic people are very likely to do this. I work in mental health and this was mentioned in our training. At my location maybe 1/3-1/2 of folks wore one or more puffy jackets all summer long.

If we just extend that rule to everyone we'd have better cheaper stuff and fewer rich people to boot.

If you honestly believed that democracts and republicans are identical on israel and you care about human suffering you'd look at all the other ways that trump and his fascists have promised to brutalize everyone who's not them and minimize human suffering by voting for a democrat.

Trump killing trans people, immigrants and palestinans is not a moral victory for opponents of our genocide in gaza.

Yeah, that makes it very hard to vote for them, I feel that. But that's a problem that gets worse by not voting for a democrat.

Republicans have promised to genocide harder and trump has already been coordinating with netanyahu to counter anything that might reduce palestinans deaths.

I don't like it either but it's time to be an adult, do the unpleasant thing, and vote for a democrat.

Don't vote "for/against whoever". Vote against trump like an adult - that means voting democrat.

Sure, picking between two options that you don't want is legitimately hard for human brains to do. But republicans have promised and begun to brutalize minorities at ever larger scales, and are objectively worse than democrats on everything that matters.

Handing the reins of state power to fascists has never improved life for leftists or humanity.

As medieval and renaissance scholars regained interest in the pagan past, they wrote about it in latin. That's why we still largely use the latinized names.

These scholars used latin partly because it was the lingua franca of their elite audience, but also that way the only people who could read it would have had a proper church education. And thus less likely to be lead from the path of righteousness by these pagans and all their wicked thinkin'.

This practice of using latin for religiously risque material continues well into the modern period, where the sexy parts of native american myths were marked by an abrupt shift into latin. I believe the first scientific account of penguin necrophilia was written in latin as well.

Why would you peel a carrot?

It's just a lie. I don't think it's meant to hold up to scrutiny, it's just meant to be repeated.
