For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.
Vanilla is NOT a boring flavour. It is the best flavour and most versatile flavour!!! Describing things as vanilla should not be synonymous with boring and I’ll fight anyone who argues otherwise
Artificial sweeteners is one of the reasons I’m not obese. You can quote me all the studies you want, diet coke is not a gateway drink to regular coke, and splenda on my black coffee doesn’t make me crave a caramel macchiato.
I don’t care about the calories. Artificial sweeteners taste like plastic cancer, so it’s normal coke for me.
Aspartame gave me terrible headaches. Then I became diabetic. Turns out by that time sucralose was more popular. It doesn’t give me headaches and it tastes fine. After so long of having sucralose, I can now tolerate aspartame. Still gross though.
A grilled cheese is only a grilled cheese if the most singificant portion of the ingredients between the bread is cheese. Otherwise, it is a grilled X with cheese.
Same opinion. And I like both!
Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don’t care if it’s only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.
If you throw cigarette butts on the ground you’re probably shittier than average person in many other ways too
I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.
Sarcasm and irony are not the same thing dammit! A limp, unfunny imitation is not a “parody”! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS, INTERNET!!!
Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software that is poorly designed, laughably unoptimized, and mostly dysfunctional. It’s like a passenger car with seven wheels arranged in an irregular septagon, a 1 gallon gas tank, and a kitchen stool for a seat.
Also hype clothes are a tremendous waste and reveal the hollowness and meaninglessness that underlies most fashion
Microsoft Word…
That’s neither an opinion nor petty; those are just straight facts.
This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I’m seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I’ve spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this “issue”. It’s not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it’s like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It’s an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.
Large Language Models and other affiliated algorithms are not AI and no amount of marketing will convince me otherwise. As a result I refuse to call them AI when talking to people about them.
I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.
Thanks, been arguing this for ages.
Unless it’s boiled before they bake it, it’s not a fucking bagel, it’s doughnut-shaped bread. Bagels also do not contain blueberries, and any suggestion to the contrary should be met with a swift ass whooping.
Blueberry bagels are my second favorite. Spank me daddy
Heathen. Destroyer of all that is good. What is your first favorite?
Bagels also do not contain blueberries
This made me think, “Everything” bagels don’t actually include blueberries, but it’s literally supposed to contain everything! Irrefutable proof that blueberries can’t be in bagels
“times less” is not an intuitive, easy to understand way of referring to a decrease in some amount or percentage.
Right? If something has “100x less” something, does that mean it has 1%? 0.99%? Some other random figure?? What are you even trying to convey???
That judgements tell you a lot more about the person doing the judging than they do about the thing being judged
There are three drinks you can call a martini:
- A martini is gin and vermouth, maybe with some bitters if you like
- A vodka martini is vodka and vermouth, bitters again optional
- A vesper martini is gin, vodka, and lillet blanc
- Any of the above can be made “dirty” with olive brine if you want
Anything else is a cocktail in a martini glass. No shade if you like apple schnapps, lemon juice, and vodka, drink what you like, but it’s not a martini.
Ah, as a fan of martinis this is a hill I could also die on
If someone uses the phrase “assless chaps” I will not rest until they admit that if chaps had an ass, they would be pants.
Fight me.
