Confirmation bias: all the shite furniture from 1800s has rotted to dust already

Edit for full disclosure: I've exclusively bought antique furniture. I'm basically a shill for big-auction

As far as I remember (25 years ago), this doesn't work. Kids just don't appreciate witty comebacks

Jesus that last VQ is making me irrationally angry

Obvioisly if someone's on speaker phone it's because they want you to join in the conversation. It's your duty to gather round and give your loud & uninformed opinions

The way my dog licks his balls you'd think they taste really good, but they didn't taste great to me

I'd say these fall into the same trap that most fediverse explainers fall into — too focused on implementation details, not the experience. The average FB user thinks they're connecting to friends directly, not really considering the system architecture that powers it.

I remember watching this in school... as a treat

I wear a jacket that is now structurally reliant on the random patches I have sewn on over the years... and it still looks like shit... but it has a pocket that once held a jug of wine while I saw Prodigy in Paris, and no new jacket can replace that

For me, these are all liquids

Also consider the Yes Ladder - in sales, getting someone to say yes to something small makes them more likely to agree to other things.

It also applies to other contexts. If a police suspect refuses to talk, they ask innocuous questions because once someone starts talking, it's hard to stop.

Admitting incorrectness will make you more likely to concede other points too

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women."

Chemical and genomic analyses performed on Lanmaoa asiatica at the Natural History Museum of Utah have revealed no traces of any known psychoactive compounds, suggesting that something entirely new is waiting to be discovered.
