Reply to comment by Crux_AMVS24 in The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24

Everyone is downvoting you, but I’m actually not entirely convinced that your new system is impossible. Inconvenient? Definitely. But impossible? I’m not sure.

If absolute zero is infinity, then tell me the new freezing and boiling points of water based on your new scale. And then tell me how the formula

PV = nrT

still works. If you can do that, I’ll agree that temperature could measure the amount of “cold” in a substance rather than the amount of “hot”.

Reply to comment by Unused_Application_ in People think or horses as domesticated even though there are still protected lands where they can remain wild and free. by darkxmoon

Yea but think of how many people today just don't know that. They don't know horses are over 50 million years old. At one time were seen as the same level threat as a bear. They can kill you without trying.

An now people are like yea horses are pretty and you see them at parades and the Olympic games sometimes.

Reply to comment by Garage540 in Adoption is the 'skip intro' button for parenting. by thedbm

My boy entered the system at 3 months and the trauma is real - time in utero, moms stress, hormones, adrenaline, malnourishment those first months - lack of stimulation or over stimulation and fight or flight situations - he struggles with it. We have a good relationship and he’s bright enough to know why he does what he does but hoarding food, sleeping in a closet instead of his bed, not trusting people, are all based on the trauma of those first few months.
