I do believe we're talking about the same thing, but your term for it is "mental model"...a thing that is formed by the society one was raised in, and that's different for each generation. Well done.

@jasonbeets
Interesting.
Not being considered as a bias, though, is the change in societal definition of those terms with each generation. They have.

When Pew asks such questions to a member of a generation where such distinctions were nonexistant, you have a skewing of data. GenZ grew up with them with current definitions.

When the questions are identicaly worded and presented to each generation, you're still going to get them read differently by the respondents.

Anyone know any good, budget underwater cameras? Waterproof to a depth of 5-10m is all I need. I want to take pictures of fishies and keep a fishydex of all encountered fishe.

I am aware that you are what you eat. I am a vegan who eats a lot of tofu, therefore I am white, blobby, and have no taste.

The endless parade of high-twitter-follower-count journos that have published "twitter is full of nazi's but we can't leave because that's where everyone is!" pieces astounds me.

"everyone" used to not be there at all.

"everyone" used to think twitter was lame.

"everyone" will leave because "everyone else" left.

So to those think piece publishers: Be part of the "everyone else" sooner rather than later. Leave.

The irony being that mins ago #lyft just screwed a friend who booked a ride 25 hrs in advance and they quietly refunded the transaction 30 mins before pickup and gave them no other warning that they didn’t intend to honor the schedule. Friend had to rebook at a higher price. FU Lyft.

feel free to try this at home and film the results*

Well that's a bummer. If those are 74-some number, you can run it by me and I might know off the top of my head. :)

@splicer
Ahhhh I see. Well if any of those DIPs are dual timers, you can still have fun with 'em. Enjoy!

Yeah but it's subscription only. Some diehard fans die at the subscription. Me, case in point.
