You have things like grapheme-color synesthesia where people really do experience things different. They might see 2s as blue and 5s as green. So if they ever saw a 2 it would be blue. Like 5 5 5 5 2 5 5. Even though the numbers are all the same color to us someone with the synesthesia would see those numbers there in the color their mind associates them with automatically.

Here’s the standard color wheel set to Red, Blue, Yellow as primary colors.
You’ll notice that magenta is represented as almost a whole different color. It’s pink in the CMYK, light purple in RGB.
And
Cyan, baby blue, sky blue, etc. isn’t represented. Instead you get a blue-purple they call violet.
Light Red - Magenta Light Blue - Cyan Blue-Purple - Indigo Light Purple - Red-Purple - Fushsia
We as a whole can’t decide what constitutes purple/violet in RGB model
Even if someone doesn’t know what a true “Indigo” looks like they are still experiencing that color for what it is. They will just call it Bluish-Purple or Purplish-Blue. And unless it really was the exact mix of 50/50 blue and purple it wouldn’t be indigo. It would be a equivalent to a Redish-Orange. A Bluish-Indigo or Purplish-Indigo.
Sorry for the walls of text I was learning and thought I might as well share.

Your language doesn’t change your perception of color.
The primary colors being Red, Yellow, Blue. Is made up. There’s no reason those should be the three primary colors.
Magenta, Yellow, and Cyan could be the primary colors if you were taught that.
In that color wheel orange is an intermediate color. The intermediate color between green and yellow can be called chartreuse.
Did you know chartreuse as a color or did you just know it as yellow-green?
Do you not preceve the color chartreuse the same as someone that just knows that name?
You can perceve all the difference colors on this wheel without needing an official word.
As you can see “Brown” is just a darker orange.

Your phone screen only uses three colors to represent all colors.
If you printed out the photo of the dress the “illusion” wouldn’t work.
The 3 colors used to make the blue dress in warm “gold” light is what allows your brain to interpret it as yellow.
If anything it helps prove that people basically see in the same way. Just if your brain adjusts for the backlight tone. You either saw blue or yellow. No one was saying purple or orange.
If you took mushrooms and saw purple you’d be hallucinating. Your brain is giving you false information.
Seeing it as yellow isn’t false information but a different interpretation of the given material

Of course the story didn’t have to happen in any specific way. It’s a fictional story. It can be written in anyway. Doesn’t even have to be realistic
Walt could have had to make a rocket so he could transport meth to the moon because Tuco is on a moon base and really wants some.
From my 2.5ish season watching experience, Pinkmen was the only character I enjoyed from the show. I’m not saying that I hated his character or acting. But the premise that Walt was with Pinkman to begin with. The whole show hinges on that idea and Pinkman becomes more and more important to the show.
Breaking Bad doesn’t have many “likable” characters but it is a basic story about the characters.
A story with an amazing plot would still be good with subpar actors. Breaking Bad with worse actors would be totally insufferable.

You want a more plausible storyline than anything else? You like Breaking Bad because the storyline is realistic?
A smart guy infiltrating the DEA and using their information in a cat and mouse game sounds interesting to me
It’s a fictional story
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 4 weeks ago:
“The story happened that way so that’s the only way it could have happened”
Walter was a high school science teacher with no friends, how would he have gone about looking for someone to sell meth for him?
Once again everything is stacked against Walt. Always another road block. Episode after episode.
They had to give him a complete dipshit to work with because a semi-competent person he knew would have been a “boring” story.
Maybe show interest in the DEA and ride around with his brother-in-law to secretly collect intel. Ends up getting a job for the DEA but basically an inside guy.
Let me go find the drop out high school student I knew and cook meth in an RV. Is definitely not a thing an intelligent person would choose to do. Sure if they are forced to like in the story, but that doesn’t make it right or enjoyable.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 4 weeks ago:
You’re telling me that it is a requirement to be a Complete Dipshit to have underground connections?
I get that is how the show sold it and I guess you believed it
There’s just no way for Walt to become Heizenberg without Complete Dipshit
Let’s just ignore the fact that the writer planned the Complete Dipshit to die a handful of episodes into the series
Again, EVERYTHING in the show is designed to make cooking/distributing meth challenging. They had to make Complete Dipshit useful because he “had” to be in the story.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 4 weeks ago:
That was my problem with the show too.
Smart person decides to cook meth…
Step 1: Partner with complete dipshit
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit
It’s not hard to cook meth especially if you have a science background.
EVERYTHING in the show is there to make cooking meth harder because if it wasn’t hard it would be a completely boring story.

The sun is round, the moon is round, the stars are round
Biconvex vs Globe should be the original argument. Disc vs Ball.
Do flat earthers think of sharp edged biconvex earth? Like that would have had to be the case if you could sail off it.
Do they think that it’s like a Minecraft world where they could see the dirt under the grass at the edge?
Humans had to explore the globe W-E or E-W. No practical way early to cross a frozen tundra and then sail going N-S or S-N.
We would have found out a lot quicker in human history if the polar caps didn’t exist.
“Go around” round. It is almost like it is intuitive that the earth is round.
What’s happening at the edge is what is the argument. Everyone knows where they are standing is flat. (Which I think is your point)
You’d have to come up with a plausible explanation of what could happen. Like “You’d sail off into a void”
Yet a globe has no edges and doesn’t need a plausible explanation about a weird edge of the earth.
It should have aways rested that you had to prove the earth wasn’t a ball.

My favorite thing is “We wouldn’t have had the technology to go to the moon in 1969”
So Apollo 12 (1969) 14 (1971) 15 (1971) 16 (1972) 17 (1972)
Were all fake too?
So we faked the first moon landing and then proceeded to fake 5 more moon landings in 3 years?
That sounds real smart

Do you know what relativity means? You keep saying it
A 6 or 7 year old child is ~120cm
Average person 160cm to 170cm
Relatively, a 3:4 ratio
For a tall person at 200cm (6’6") that would be the same as 150cm
Average woman is 160cm
Yes a 200cm person standing next to a 150cm person looks like an adult standing next to a child height wise. Yet to them a 150cm person is much taller than 120cm. 1 foot difference.
Why does your mind jump to “they look like they are with a child?”

It’s the whole “Is Pepsi fine?” Thing.
You ask if they have coke and they will say “is Pepsi fine?” Then you can say “Yes I’ll take a Sprite” and get Starry.
Like you can’t order a sprite without saying sprite. You cannot be like “I’ll take a soda” and expect sprite. Same with saying coke. You have to elaborate.
You could ask for a “coke” and accept any soda. But you’re not really calling what they are giving you coke. You just wanted any soda.

Head/neck being an appendage is arguable. But basically because there are better words to describe it, not because it isn’t one.

A cheap no name brand works too but I enjoy this one. Definitely overpriced at full price but it’s on sale.
You can also pay a little more and get a duo tool that’s a tire inflator or a vacuum as well as a blower. Great for the car
