for me most history was either American (always stopping at about the Vietnam war) or ancient history (mostly greek/rome, egypt, and some china) and maybe a little about medieval and Renaissance times, so yeah who cares about the boring countries in boring time periods.

On the topic of metric vs imperial:
While metric is best for sciencey things, Imperial is often better for day to day stuff. For example Fahrenheit is great  for normal uses because 0 to 100 is roughly a good range for human livability, but 0 and 100 in Celsius is a huge range where 0 is still cold as funk but 100 is now you are dead.

You don't burn down the house to clean the refrigerator.

cutting off a limb is a good way to stop gangrene though.

China are not happy with North Korea right now.

They considered Kim Jong Nam under their protection for many years, so his assassination can be seen as an insult at the very least. They have now suspended all coal imports from North Korea for the rest of the year.

Saying China is unhappy might be an understatement considering coal is one of Top Korea's main exports, that's gonna sting.

A powerless federal government means that states that net pay taxes (New York, New Jersey, California, Washington, etc.) would have no reason to stay. States that benifit from Federal services more than they pay in taxes would find themselves in economic free-fall.

well people are calling for a Cal-xit  :P

and that basically... paying people for not contributing to society only encourages them not to... and unfairly taxes those who are capable.
this is basically what the Republicans i talk to think.

give poor people money => they stay poor and don't want to improve + pull down with taxes anyone trying to improve
e:you end up in a world with the very poor and very rich with no inbetween

* remembers issuing warning about counter cultural backlash against modern progressivism (for being too aggressive) in the old thread.

*remembers being ridiculed for it...

"Called it."
No, I don't think so. Rather, those two things (aggressive progressivism and anti-progressivism), as well as many others, are caused by the same thing - people getting more and more opportunity to segregate themselves from each other based on political views, creating almost completely separate media spaces which soon enough start viewing each other as "others", enemies to be destroyed.

And, for the most part neither group will even try to discuss their differences as they mainly just sit in their circles talking about how the other is evil and they are the sole protectors of good.

Politics are so hostile right now.  I don't care about a lot of the stuff, I just wish everyone loved each other and got along.  :(

everyone wants that, to bad everyone's definition of "love each other and get along" is different.
but, yeah all the "[other side] is evil we are good" sucks.
