A big reason is, at least for me, I’m one generation removed from someone who lived when Canada was on Imperial. It’ll take a few generations to get rid of it. You can even see it in the replies here, as people who are certainly younger than me are talking about how they’re using metric exclusively for things that I still swap between.
That’s the ONLY reason. I’m quite fond of metric.
It’s easy, because of the proximity to the States and the fact that we still have generations in Canada that were alive PRIOR to metric who have handed it down, we’re more or less raised with it. I can’t speak for others, but I can pretty freely convert between the two (at least very close, I can’t completely convert Celsius and Fahrenheit in my head).
But yeah, that’s pretty accurate as to how everyday measurements go here. I’m trying to think of others, but I think this covers most/all of them.
I’m not particularly active on the Fediverse, but that’s primarily because even my regular Reddit usage had atrophied in the last year or two. I’ve kinda gotten out of the habit of looking at site aggregators, so that’s more likely my problem.
Realistically, who really knows? Reddit isn’t going to release numbers, so it’s all third-party stuff at this point.
As someone who can’t afford to donate, I appreciate you.

He seemed pretty happy when I was playing Hades.
My last office job, the cleaning staff would come in right as we were leaving. I dunno if it helped, but I always tried to make sure any trash in my corner was neat and they really only needed to do a quick turn over of my trash can. I don’t know if that’s a thing they appreciate, but I’ll always do that much for them. I may not be sanitizing tables or anything, but I think making a neat and orderly pile for your cleaning staff or even a table busser is just being a decent human being.
Just worked for me. shrug
The first time I ever heard my wife’s voice was on XMPP (GTalk, I know, but I was using Jabber prior to). So yes, I absolutely used XMPP and watched it get obliterated.
Looks like face paint to me. If that kid took a round to the head, that side of his head would be functionally missing, not a red smear. Not sure who got hit, but it wasn’t this kid.
