I pronounce them the same. Grew up on the west coast.

Yo at least let them have the grape flavored “nutrient packs” while you’re at it…
Omg I’m not a crackhead but I did enjoy hitting the ski slopes in my 20s and I knew exactly what you meant right away
They remained more affordable, for a time. And then housing prices went right back through the roof.
I bought a foreclosed house in 2012 for ~280k. It had been purchased by the previous owner for about 480k.
I put about 150k into it, 100k the first year to make it a liveable property, and 50k or so over the next ten years.
I sold it last year for about 850k…
I then bought a new house that cost about 450k when it was built 4 years ago, for about 680k, in a less expensive market.
I think you’re right and she was confused but that sort of illustrates the point. If someone is arguing a fallacy that is easily proven a fallacy then it indicates to me that they are generally going to be an unreliable source of information.
This.
I had someone the other day tell me the Tiananmen “tank man” incident never happened. We were discussing cognitive biases and she used this as an example of confirmation bias. But naturally she was arguing that anyone who didn’t share her world view suffered from confirmation bias.
When I said “the incident did happen and there’s photographic evidence” she told me "Google it there’s no photo "
Well, we googled it and there is, in fact, a photo. There’s more than one, actually.
I decided that presenting facts no longer was the point of the conversation when she shifted to the argument “that photo is known to be staged.”

How about a watermelon gazpacho soup? That would be a fruit soup, which when served cold (as it should be) is effectively a blended fruit salad smoothie
It’s this plus uptime. Both come down to usability. Nobody wants to use a product that is confusing or unreliable.
I think it’s just a place to post things that pop into your head while taking a shower.
That’s how I’ve always experienced it.
Today it would be a Nissan Altima. Had any neons survived I’m sure they would also still be in play.
Memes are like wine. With age they either become wonderfully balanced and nuanced. Or they become undrinkable acidic gutrot.
This meme is like a well kept bottle of average wine. Not particularly notable when it was bottled. Not particularly notable today. But a passable enough interruption that even if everyone can’t agree it’s enjoyable, nobody would go so far as to suggest it’s not palatable.
My brother in law’s properties and philosophy is a great example of how this often happens.
He owns a number of rentals as well as a large property adjoining his home. He is always improving amd acquiring properties. I think of him as a “slum Lord with good intentions”
Anytime, and I do mean anytime, something of value comes up for free, at a discount, or in a bartering situation, his eyes become as large as saucers.
He is a “random pile of gravel” hoarder. This behavior also applies to random piles of dirt, random piles of lumber, and other random piles of shit.
He has a very neat home with a somewhat well kept yard, but his adjoining property looks like a junkyard.
This is how history works. The victors determine how the story is told. If these guys had been successful rest assured no matter how wrong they were they would have painted themselves heros.
But I get your point. Unfortunately idiocy isn’t a solid defense for treason.
