  • Yes Europe’s laws on this are very different. Europens in the US often get upset when someone is filming on the street and haven’t asked anyone for consent. Sometimes they throw a fit about it - threaten violence, or call the police. But it’s perfectly legal and they can publish it even if you specifically say you don’t give consent. A lot of that content ends up getting tons of views, so people going up to the camera to say I don’t want to be on camera is kind of a running joke in the first amendment community. If they had just ignored the camera no one would have ever seen video of them.







  • I don’t know, when you’re living in Minnesota and it was -40 a couple of weeks ago and it suddenly hits 30F, everyone is in shorts and T-shirts, it feels warm. And if you’re in Florida and it hits 30F ever, it feels cold. It’s definitely subjective. But it remains true that the US southwest has the record for the hottest weather recorded on earth, so far. That is objective.


  • I’m very similar. I have even lived in Europe a couple of times. But I don’t even try to think in Celsius anymore, I just don’t see a benefit and my brain rejects it. 90% of the time when I’m boiling water it’s high up on a mountain and it boils below 100C in elevation. Also who cares if the water is 95C or 200F, it’s not as hot as I’d like it to be.
