it's fun to realize how southern the USA are compared to europe and africa. my hometown in the french alps, part of southern france by some definitions, and often experiencing heatwaves in the low 40's, is more north than minneapolis. miami is about at the same latitude as dubai, and only 4 degrees north of mekkah.

charleston, south carolina is at about the same latitude as marrakesh, morocco.

paris is at about the same latitude as the northernmost point in the contiguous 48 states

the southernmost point of alaska is more southern than edinburgh

You know it's true :v

Confidence is not "I know what I'm doing."

Confidence is "I know how to find that out" and "I know how to learn new things" and most importantly "I know when I don't know what I'm doing, so I stop and find someone who does"

Obnoxious blowhards rely on people not understanding this distinction. And they amplify it by framing actual confidence as weakness.

This may be a useful thing to talk about with certain people in your life who are being fooled by fascists.
