English makes no sense.
Too true!
Isn't "blend" related to light?
You can use blend for anything, especially if you're creating a mix of two original things. And you could mix light too (you have things like mix() for colors in CSS).
In cooking, I would call something you use to mix dough a mixer, and something you use to make a smoothie a blender. I guess there are some subtle differences in "feel" but the words are almost interchangeable.
Both of the examples you give are Id - and to be honest, I feel like this was always more of an Id thing than it was an overall trend
Okay, but if you live in a world where hospitals are being bombed continuously, and you can push for bombs to not be dropped on Mondays, why would you ever not want that? Sure, it still won't be the reality you want to live in, but it's a step in the right direction. And if you can get people comfortable with Mondays, then that creates a much easier platform to talk about, "look that wasn't so hard, why don't we also include Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, and keep going from there".
In my experience, the majority of people I interact with who aren't vegan feel like the going 0 to 60 on full veganism is way too difficult and intimidating, especially when all their friends and family still eat meat.
Like I empathize with the moral dilemma militant vegans find themselves in, but if the world doesn't match your ideals, is throwing a tantrum and vilifying people the best way to change hearts and minds?
