Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?

I've learned about them in school, but I've never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I'm an American.

Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?
  • I don't remember off the top of my head exactly what CRT is, but I remember this video was a really good explanation.

    Edit: I also can't tell you exactly where it's being taught in the real world. It's not a topic I've done thorough research in.

  • I know people here will try to debate me on every issue here and I know I won't have time for that. Go ahead and ask whatever questions you want, but I can't promise I'll answer everything. .

    I don't have a perfect knowledge of exactly what's on the left and right so please forgive me if I put something in the wrong category.

    I understand that left vs right ideally shouldn't exist. The same goes for political parties. They do exist so here's some of my views from both sides.

    Right. I don't agree with critical race theory. Skin color should be treated like hair color or eye color. It's just a way to describe someone.

    Government should strictly obey the constitution.

    Billionaires should exist if they do businesses ethically.

    People involved in abortions should consider the life of the fetus.

    I find myself agreeing more with conservatives when voting.

    The electoral college is a good thing because it lets small towns have a voice.

    Left. Walkable cities are a more efficient use of space.

    Climate change is real and humans are continuing. It's not going to destroy the world in 5 years like some people are saying. It's mostly going to affect poor costal countries and islands many years in the future.

    Corporations should be held accountable for their actions.

    Puerto Rico and other US territories should be a states or their own country.

    People involved in abortions should consider the life of the mother.

  • I don't like fox or cnn. They're both corrupt. I prefer to get my news through youtube. I search for experts on a certain topic explaining the issue. During covid I watched a lot of doctors explaining covid on YouTube.

    I'm a conservative. I don't mind the liberal stuff here. It's good to learn the other side, but I don't want a liberal echo chamber. I'd like to be more politically balanced in the fediverse. Is there any way I can do that?

    What movie(s) exceeded your expectation?
  • Not a movie, but digimon adventure 1. I loved it as a kid watching all the digimon fights. I watched it again later in life and it was even better when I noticed all the character development.

  • How do I prevent hackers from stealing my debit card information?

    My wife and I keep getting our debit cards stolen online. We notice the charges and are able to dispute them and cancel our cards, but it sure is annoying.

    We don't put our card information on suspicious websites. They're on well known websites like amazon and Facebook.

    We ran out emails through a data breach checker and it found nothing.

    I don't think there's any malware on our devices.

    Any idea what could be happening and how to prevent it?
