I'll start. Fahrenheit is the superior temperature system for weather reporting. We should use metric for literally everything else, even Celsius for cooking, but I'll be dead in the cold ground before I abandon a system in which you actually get to experience both 0 degrees and 100 degrees. Freezing being 32 instead of 0 is literally the only downside, and it's not a hard number to remember. I'm prepared to die on this hill in the comments.

    My unpopular opinion in response to yours: the weaponization of therapeutic language is a giant hindrance on American culture. "Conflict is not Abuse" was written for a reason.

    Basically, the language of therapy has been expropriated so that no one has to engage in growth, because we can all throw up our hands and say "it's all trauma, no one has to change", and we are powerless in the face of our pasts.
