While I'm a big fan of the metric system, I really appreciate the human aspect of Fahrenheit.

If you think of 0-100 as a scale of cold to hot, it makes a lot of sense.

50% warm? Yeah, it's cool but nice out. 75% warm? Nice. very nice. 100% warm? NO THANKS. 32% warm? Cold.

Basically, 0-100 covers the general limits of human exposure. People understand that over 100 is Too Much and under 0 is also Too Much, But The Other Direction.

I'm a fan of metric for literally everything else (and temps for science!). Miles can go. Whatever. But leave me °F).

Also: I swear to the gods anyone who comes in and talks about individual subjectivity is fucking missing the point.

Miss me with your smug replies.

@GrindstoneSEO

SEO case study involving sites ranking highly for uber-competitive terms they appear unsuited for, based on competition, site age, authority, link equity, on-site optimization, content length, TF-IDF, basically outliers by any metric SEO people love to argue over. 1/

Verticals crowdsourced on twitter via this account and on skype/telegram/slack SEO chats, outliers identified and confirmed by me.
7 broad vertical 'buckets' totaling 117 keywords x analyzed the top 10 results =1174 (some front pages have 8-12 organic results, not my problem). 2/

@ahrefs

Tried to use the usual suspects ( @ahrefs @majestic Scrapebox ) for automating said research and while they all helped, ultimately I was left with about 60 sites that I had to analyze individually, both on and off site.

Of these ~60 sites, 13 followed a very similar pattern. 3/

❝ Driver ❞ | Minjoon AU

↬ Namjoon works as a driver for a ridiculously popular young singer Jimin

↬ Jimin feels lonely in this big world focused around him and the only person he can open up to is his driver during the many rides they share together

quick info:

↬ this is my first ever au so please have mercy
↬ don't reply, just quote
↬ english is not my first language so i apologize if something doesn't make sense/for mistakes

enjoy!

↬ chapter 1
Jimin rushed out of the hotel lobby right into the car that was sent to pick him up. He tried to keep a straight face in case there were paparazzi following him but it was too hard and single tears started falling down his cheeks.

are there people here on twitter that would argue woodstock 69>woodstock 99? because im going to start watching performances from 99 for the 20th anniversary and i just dont see myself being convinced 99 wasnt better

the guy from lit just asked the crowd if they had his new cd and when a bunch screamed he said that was badass and started playing miserable. its a level of poetry got at the original woodstock.

"you make me cum

you make me complete

you make me completely miserable"

the physicality of Lits live act really has to be seen to be believed. the frontman is like if mick jagger ruled instead of was mick jagger

Why do I think our preferences and ideologies respond to incentives?

A thread.

A few types of evidence I’ll summarize:

-evidence for real time responsiveness
-explains o/w puzzling features
-fits individual/cultural variation
-offers unifying explanation for broad swaths of observed preferences/ideologies
-jibes w/ what we know bout how learning works

But most importantly, I’ll argue:

Can’t really understand what’s going on w/o thinking this way.
