Verbiage is far less important than meaning, and policing descriptive terms has no transformative effect on reality.
If you find yourself playing word games all the time you’re probably engaging in some form of self denial.

It’s a socialist and communist tactic
It is but it’s also a sort of brain worm that erodes people’s ability to engage substantively with reality.
I know what you mean or I got you. Save time, make connections.
Reality is subjective
It’s not
We’re saying the same thing 😂
Everything in the universe is either a potato or not a potato. That’s a fact jack.
Being a lawyer...
I’m saying I see conservatives do it too. Though not quite as much.
Word games are literally my job, ngmi I guess.
Cash vs cache.
One is "a place to store valuable things" (weapons, gold, whatever) and the other is quite literally the opposite thing, "a place that loses whatever value you put into it"
We already had the words "money" and "dollar"; bastardizing the word cache into cash was a (IMO completely unnecessary) bonus. The result is easy: no one knows how to value anything for their entire life
A lot of conservatives are socialists imo. A lot of what Trump and is doing, and proposing right now, are socialist ideas.
I’ve decided all forms of government are nascent socialist tyrannies just looking to root.
Wouldn’t a lawyer be the opposite? Purposely using exact wording so there is zero ambiguity? Unless it’s at a federal level where you’re trying to impose laws as a catch-all for anything they don’t like.
Litigators are the opposite of transactional lawyers. I’m a litigator, which means I have to find cases to convince a judge a dog is a cat sometimes.
True, but you can only know the potato through experience, which is subjective. The same potato could be highly valued or totally disposable based on how hungry or poor you are.
what has more objective value, potato or ounce of gold?
am I alone and hungry, or able to trade?
the value becomes subjective
potato chimeras exist, jus sayin
I can point you to Keonnes dilemma with the Mackerel standard , as an example. And they still dont eat them.

Word salad, order UP! Say less, mean more?
Couldn’t agree more. Playing semantic games doesn’t fix reality, it just delays facing it.
eat the chicken, spend the mackerel, Gresham's law in action
Sure but it’s still a potato. Things either are or are not.
If the base is potato it’s potato lol
We call that rhetorical dialectic memetic chicanery and you’re right that I’m doing that. Where you’re wrong is that there’s no consistency. There is consistency. The question becomes is intentional ambiguity a tool to reveal truth or a hedge that avoids accountability? I think it’s a truth mechanism personally. I find a lot of truth in probing this way.
Mr Potato Head is both a potato and not a potato
hot dog? or, not hot dog?
He’s a potato
Most intellectually stimulating post ⭕️ day….so far!!!🤔🤯😂🌅
….i will henceforth identify as a potato 🧐🫡
…oops….one question 😳…which bathroom should I use?😖
On second thought…he’s neither a potato nor is he not a potato
Proof of potato 
Reality just is, our understanding of reality is subjective and some of the subjective understandings of reality are more wrong than others
We come to these conclusions using input processed through faulty hardware. When you say "potato", the neurons in your jar brain can only draw from your subjective experience of what a potato is. When someone else hears you say "potato", they can't possibly be experiencing the same platonic form of a potato as your brain. You are both experiencing different potatos.
There once was a life with no script,
No label, no tag, no pre-written quip.
One called it a prison,
One called it art,
Same days—just a different grip.
