I genuinely don't know if we should pronounce the S in Brussels when we refer to brussels sprouts.
Clearly the word Brussels is pronounced with the trailing S, but saying it that way together with "sprouts" sounds like I'm trying to pronounce the P in raspberry.

The utter complacency that Facebook would ask any of its users to voluntarily fill out an opinion survey, after they gathered countless metrics and psych data points to then sell all that data to the highest bidder.
