FFS, everyone knows a mile is 1.6 kilometers. You're just insulting the intelligence of everyone reading this to make some sort of dig against the yanks.
Not everyone (me among them) knows or is willing/able to do the math in their heads
man, if you can't figure out roughly 60 percent more, well...
Relax.
Learn to count not on your fingers.
Learn to not be a pompous dick, Some people haven't had their morning coffee and appreciate not having to do the math.
"Imma European and that means I can deny I'm being passive aggressive about my lack of basic mathematic skills because 10 is more logical despite basic logic denying that retarded thought"
Yawn
Let’s dial the aggression back. We don’t have to be rude to each other.
Truly.
I don't.
No not everyone knows.
Ignore this guy. I've now seen them trolling on consecutive days in different threads. Just another unloved cunt.
"Trolling" and "Tired of the stupid bullshit pushed as gospel" are two entirely different things.
You betcha bubba!
Yeah i guess there are some absolute idiots about. "For that that don't know, 2 plus 2 is 4"
It might be news to you but people from counties that use metric really don’t care what a mile is.
Yeah....it would be news that everyone is the ignorant fuck they pretend to be online IRL.
How do you mean I was bragging?
I wonder why you are so insecure that you feel you must try to insult everyone in every sentence.
Do you mean approximating? Could just round it up so it's divisible by ten and remove the excess but it's not the answer. Calculating the limits I.e 164*1,6 took more time.
Besides, I can't fathom why everyone should have to convert everything by themselves, this would be the effect of the suggestion. It would be the absolute most needless, time wasting, and unnecessary effort society could do.
"I'm literally insulting people but i cry when i get called on it, also I can't fathom being asked to think"
Now you're projecting
My brother in Carl XVI Gustaf think twice, no one thinks you're hard nor funny.
You do yourself a disservice by continuing to hide insecurities by pushing others down.
2 plus 2 is four
"describing"
But this is just him making it convenient to not even have to convert. The things that rile people up....
Pattern recognition is a thing
I'm starting to recognize a pattern here. You're a pompous dick.
"Can do basic math"
Not everyone! I’m one of those. From time to time some American reminds me but my brain filters out as a completely useless information and I forget it.
Quick check what you know "And what’s the difference exactly? As a Czech dating an Ukrainian woman, let me tell you that the difference is that “European” women are spoiled and lazy. My girlfriend is working two jobs (14 to 16 hours a day), she’s facing a lot of discrimination and racism and yet she’s always in a good mood. Everyone is her community is like that.
Maybe you are from a non-Slavic country? To you they might seem different because you don’t understand/know? They are listening to the same music as you, they are watching the same shows on Netflix as you. Their stuff is arguably better than “ours” cough Lions on the jeep cough. Learn the language and you’ll see. For a nation that went through so many tragedies I don’t think it’s fair to look down upon them. Even if they primarily want a protection. So what? Why should you have it and they don’t?" yeah get fucked
Get fucked for what? That I’m from the EU? That I send donations to the country at war? That I have a gf?
Bigoted prick
No need for this.
You know what? There really is. I've had it with this horseshit.
