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.
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.
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
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.
Those big SUV like Ford f150 should be illegal, for real. They are super long and tall, the driver can barely see what’s right in front, it’s dangerous for everyone not in the car. Cars should have stricter limits on size, if it’s bigger, you need a special license.
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.
I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.
A Chihuahua is not a legitimate dog, it’s a rat with delusions of grandeur.
That’s a disservice to rats, their domestic variety are smarter and better behaved. Least that I’ve seen
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.
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!!!
Pugs are not “so cute” because they’re ugly. They are deformed from countless generations of in-breeding and genetic manipulation by horrible horrible humans and are in constant pain, cannot breathe, and have countless other physical ailments. They should not exist in their current form and it makes me sad for the animal whenever I see one, and immediately lose all respect for the owner for furthering such a travesty.
The only way that it’ll become better is if the standard for the pug changes. The UK kennel club has updated it’s standard to include a healthier head and muzzle shape. Unfortunately the American Kennel Club has not yet done so. The pugs that are presented at Westminster are sickening.
I also take beef with the awful roached back of the German Shepherd show standard.
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
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.
Eating fried chicken sandwich for breakfast is completely normal and an awesome way to start a day.
saywhanow? Expand on this fried chicken breakfast sandwich…
I’ll form an opinion to your comment after you tell me your BMI.
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.
