Do not, EVER, discuss nomenclature with a linguistics student

Or a philosopher of language. They've got some craaaazy theories about how we name things.

That's at least five times today I could have replied to something totally absurd, and started to, but just scrolled away instead. (Well, I mean, except for posting here).

Either my point was missed or not clear or ignored.

My brother mocks those lawyer ads that are looking for more people for class action law suits for things like round up weed killer, and he also mocks the new coverage whenever some new thing is linked to causing cancer.

It feels like the list of non-cancer causing stuff is getting shorter by the week.

Ah. I kind of disagree, but my disagreement would probably slide pretty fast into political issues, so...

If other people like X, but you think it needs more Y, it's OK to leave X alone and create something new to put Y in, instead of changing X and making the people who liked X as-is unhappy instead.

So, you're saying people should have to open up new donuts shops, coffee places, candle factories, and breweries if they want pumpkin and pumpkin spice?

If the choice is between removing non-pineapple pizza from the menu and opening an all-pineapple pizza place, do the latter.

If it's additive, it's fine. Replacement is the issue.

It feels like as many options that can fit on the menu without hurting quality and overworking the staff or putting the place under is a thing?

"I prefer something where high levels of multi-skill are brought to bear like speedball, where everyone can use both hands and feet. But that's not to say I don't also enjoy a low multi-skill game like football (aka soccer) where only one player (the goalie) gets to use high multi-skill and the rest can only use their feet. I mean, soccer was my preferred game for years until I realized what was missing for me and tried speedball.

(I would also never say soccer is bad because it causes CTE)."
