The fix to being broke is to get more money.

So if you have to use an arbitrary unit anyway, why make a new arbitrary unit?

Because whole point of metric is to use powers of ten.

If we're redifining time, why do we have to keep the same unit size? Simply adjust the duration of a second to make exactly 100 ksecs per day.

Pretty sure the people insisting on using Japanese names on English websites designed for English-speaking audiences are the ones gatekeeping.

I know this is a joke but my dad was excessively touchy and huggy when I was growing up and it's the reason I hate hugs now.

I'm sure any gun nut will happily tell you how much they respect guns.

Oh my go that's literally the point of my whole comment. You stated that EVs are a good solution. They are not a solution at all.

It's not a matter of perfect being the enemy of good, it's a matter of people mistakenly thinking that personal EVs are a solution. They are not a solution at all, they only serve as placebo to make people feel good while while continuing the same habits and relying on the same infrastructure that caused all this in the first place.

That was literally the point. Continuing with the same sprawling, oversized infrastructure built for personal, usually single-occupancy vehicles is not going to solve climate change. We are so far gone the only real, actual, solutions are in fact drastic, society changing measures. So your solution is for us to keep doing the same thing we already are but with 20% less pollution? While the earth is already past the 1.5C global warming mark? If that's your best solution then it's not a solution.

EVs are here to save the automobile, not the environment.

But it's not a good solution. In fact it's not a solution at all. EVs aren't going to save the environment, they're going to perpetuate our reliance on personal vehicles.
