"cool" and "hot" are both compliments

We don't like being average

But 'cold' and 'heated' are bad. People are weird about temperature.

Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.

You can be both down for something, and up for it at the same time

There is a quote I like by famous character actor and certified psychopath Klaus Kinski who once said to his audience (translation mine):

If only you were hot! Or if only you were cold! But you are lukewarm, and I spit on you!

But lukewarm and mid isn't.

And when I blow hot one minute and cold the next, suddenly everyone has a problem with it :(

But then we also don't like people too far from average.

People are cool and hot but bodies are cold or warm
