A system of measurement used by most of the world and propagated by pompous and pathetic Europeans/Asians/etc. who lack understanding of mathematics.
While you will find most socialist, war-losing Europeans talking about how the metric system is too hard for Americans to understand, is funny because the metric system is in place because of EASE OF USE. The imperial system of measurement is far more difficult and requires more thorough knowledge. That 12 inches are in 1 foot, 5280 feet in 1 mile. While the rest of the world was too idiotic to comprehend that, they developed a system of 10s to help them feel better about losing wars.
The imperial system has a main divisor of 2, while the metric system has a base of 10.
The metric system can not be visualized in any way, while any person can say that something is an inch, a foot or even a mile at the slightest glance.
The metric system was the reason for the Mars climate orbiter crash of 1999, which goes to show, it's not exactly as incredible as the surrender monkeys on the other side of the earth wish it was.

The Sol System is a star system in the Milky Way's Outer Rim. Centered around a yellow dwarf known as Sol, it includes 8 planets. Of the 8 plants only 3 orbit in Sol's habitual zone, Venus (Uninhabited due to it's suffering from a runaway greenhouse effect.), Terra (Inhabited by a number of life forms, several intelligent and 1 Level 0.9 civilization. However, it is currently undergoing the Holocene Mass Extinction, it's 6th, and the local civilization has a fetish for dissecting (still living) visitors so travel to this world is ill advised.) and Mars (An uninhabited and geologically dead desert world.). It is ruled by the Terrans (Though their grip on power beyond the Terran System (A planetary system within the Sol System.) is weak almost to the point of being non-existent.) and is a largely irrelevant system on the larger galactic scale.
The Sol System is home to the primitive and warlike Terrans who seem to think they will rule the galaxy someday.

Okay, people with strong opinions here, I respect that, but some are just a bit too fucking intense. If you'd like my opinion, (Undoubtabley if you're reading this,) here it is.
SOAD is unique. They are definitely in the top 10 bands out there, due to their intelligent, deep, political lyrics, blended with amazing vocals, and excellent guitars. I highly recommend the song "Toxicity" to start out with, just as an experimental taste, and if you DO like them, get the albums. Me, I hope they continue to tell the truth about america in their deep, philisophical melodies. (They've been around since '95, too, just is anyone wanted to know.)

Abbreviated "OS", an operating system is software that provides the user with an interface as well as hardware support and support to run and use applications. Operating systems also accept input and display output by communicating with hardware and interacting with any respective applications or system software that might be using that hardware.
Windows, Windows NT, MacOS, UNIX, Novell Netware, DOS, BSD and BeOS are all examples of operating systems. Linux on the other hand, is a kernel.

All of the factors in a social system that that perpetuate, enable, and incentivize the adoption of identities based in victimhood.
"Why are people listing their ailments in their Twitter bios?"
"Oh, it's a great way to rack up intersectional points and climb up a few tiers in the victim hierarchy."
"Why would they want to do that?"
"Because with victimhood comes a whole bunch of perks. If you are a victim, you always have an excuse to fail. You always have a hypothetical oppressor to blame. You are given license to censure anyone who disagrees with you. You receive an abundance of pity. And best of all, you get to envision yourself as the noble underdog struggling in the next big civil rights movement!"
"That sounds pathological."
"That's because it is... and it is all a product of systemic victimhood."
