Maybe they are the same in your accent and different in mine? Speech be funny that way.

Do the candy corns melt into the pizza?

The way you used pronouns, 'they' and then 'we', suggests you are asking if they become a new person in the eyes of us who haven't died. Is that really what you meant?

It's usually the influence of the Darkness that prompts people to put hotdogs in a toaster. Don't listen to what it tells you about the bathtub either.

I don't classify ideas in my head into those two categories like that. They are all beliefs. I have a sense of how confident I am of each idea. Like how surprised I would be if they were proved wrong. And I try to maintain awareness of why I have that confidence, like other beliefs that support it, evidence, etc.

That's imperfect, like I can't claim that there aren't ideas that, if challenged, I'd think about what my supporting evidence is and come up with bupkis. Anything is up for doubt and reevaluation.

I feel pretty strongly that this is the right approach, and that people failing to have a similar approach is a serious problem in the world.

Restoring that sounds like a great idea, but I'm afraid we're going to need an ocean that's not too acidic for calcium carbonate shell formation.

"Peculiarities" has a much different connotation. I've used software which has had features that might have been better described as peculiarities.

The hard thing is to actually get past their lizard brain and contact their logical brain.

I can't imagine myself in a relationship with someone who identifies with any ideology so strongly they define themselves as that.
