we all have 'em. those tiny, insignificant battles of opinion that you’ll stubbornly defend to your last breath, even though they literally do not matter one bit. i’m talking about the truly petty stuff. like, i firmly believe that cereal is a soup. fight me.
Escalators and moving walkways are there to get you somewhere faster and with less effort. They are not meant to ferry your fat ass the entire way. That’s what elevators and carts are for. Move it!!!
As long as they stay to the right I don’t care that much
people who park in the left “lane” of the escalator: jail
people who install a single-wide escalator: death penalty
This one’s actually wrong tho lol, they were literally invented to do just that
Bike lanes have directions, follow them
Just because LED’s are ridiculously efficient, doesn’t mean the appliances you build should run them with the power of 1000 suns.
nor should they be piercing blue or green and fuck up the way my room looks in the dark
(at least the angry dishwasher man agrees with me on this)
If you don’t consistently return shopping carts to their corrals you’re a turd.
This is one that makes me irrationally angry. If I see someone do this, I’ll return it for them while I stare daggers at them. It’s probably immature, but I don’t give a fuck. People who do shit like this are usually contemptuous shitbags.
The name “Andy” can be short for both Andrew and Anthony
Cutlery with a circular handle have the worst feels
gifis pronounced like “gift” without the “t”I don’t care about the initial sounds of the words in “graphics interchange format”
I think the creator was either trolling, failed at being clever (“choosy moms…”), or is an idiot.
Aren’t the initial sounds exactly why you’re right? Like I thought that was the main reason people think the creator is wrong…
Regardless of being correct, there’s already a format called JIF so that’d be dumb anyways.
Yeah, I mean it isn’t j raphical interchange format.
No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.
Oh but now I’m gonna!
I do
NASA and SCUBA are two acronyms that show acronyms clearly don’t have to be pronounced like their source words as a rule.
Yeah, and the word starts with the letter ghee.
Funnily enough, that’s a type of butter pronounced with a hard g.
Where I live there are two official languages, the one from the country, Spanish, and the one from the region, Valencian, so you have places and streets named in one and translated into the other and both are valid. Some important places have only one official name in Valencian.
Well there is a huge historical railroad station called Estación del Norte (North Station) that people called it by translating it into Valencian, and now the official name is Estació del Nord.
The thing is that the station was never located on the north of anything in the city, it is called Norte because that’s how it was called the company that built it.
Making the translation official not only increases the confusion about its location for people who doesn’t know the city, but it also hides its history, I know a lot of people living here that don’t know where the name came from and who build it.
I don’t have issues with making official naming in Valencian as long it does not change the name of a person or company.
- the alternate ending of I Am Legend is utter shit
- Starship Troopers is not misunderstood satire
- World War Z is a great movie
- Waterworld sucks
Starship Troopers is not misunderstood satire
I’ve read a lot of Heinlein, and while I don’t think “satire” is quite the right word, I’d consider it more of a thought experiment than sincere belief.
Every word of what you just said was wrong.
That’s four hills, brother
That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.
A liquid isn’t milk if it didn’t pass through a nipple. Soy, oat, almond… they’re OK, but they’re not milk.
Hope scientists prove you wrong one day. Discovery of almond titties are a Nobel prize waiting to happen.
Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.
Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P
*raises hand lactose intolerantly* can we make it cost less if we give up the “-milk” label?
As a fellow lactose intolerant who was raised on soy “milk”, I say it should be cheaper just by virtue of how horrible it is.
i like superheated steam treated (Silk, Westsoy, Trader Joe’s) and freshly made Asian style
but if it’s not treated nor fresh, lipoxygenase wreaks havoc on the oils and makes it godawful yeah
I believe platypuses (platypi?) and/or echidnas don’t have nipples but instead sweat out milk. Doesn’t that count as milk then?
With no teats, the milk is released through pores in the skin from which the young lap it up in her fur
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus -> ecology -> reproduction
that absolutely should not count as milk and I’m upset that I’m now cursed with this knowledge
Not so much cursed as just cool evolution. We can trace nipples producing milk to specialized sweat glands, isn’t that cool?
What about crop milk? Or milk of magnesia?
You didn’t specify a biological nipple.
I can make any kind of milk pass through some type of nipple.
Give me a drill with a really fine bit.
movie theaters are fucking bullshit
- can’t pause movie and go pee
- can’t pause movie and discuss something with the person you’re watching with
- can’t rewind when you inevitably zone out so then you just have to not know what the hell happened the past few minutes
- can’t laugh or make jokes too loud or you’re an asshole
- can’t eat or drink anything you actually want to, let alone for a not ridiculous price
- no subtitles
- the first third of the seats cause neck pain if you sit there
- seats usually gross
i am SO thankful i live in an era where i can easily watch movies at home
I’m mostly annoyed by subtitles in theaters as my country is bi-lingual and the subtitles take way too much space, are distracting and in most cases are quite bad compared to the spoken text.
I don’t want any “smart” crap in my house, I don’t want my appliances to be connected to the internet and to be controlled by an app, it should all be self sufficient.
And if you really want to add the option to be controlled remotely (but should not be the only way) make it a local connection, why should my phone connect to the internet to turn on an AC located three meters away?
Quintin Tarantino is a hack.
Other than Pulp Fiction, none of his movies any good.
I thought it’s just me. Kill Bill is watchable once, but the others are simply boring
I watched some episodes (short films?) of the Japanese show about a woman prisoner. “Bad bitch” persona. And she like kicks ass and is super stoic.
Every one I watched looked like a Tarantino film.
He straight up appropriated his style from a Japanese king fu franchise. And the music style with it.
“Female prisoner scorpion”
Vengeance plot.
Over the top villains.
What he is known for. Here’s a bit for you to compare.
It’t tomato no tomato. Sheesh, do you English much?
No I dot’t English much.
I havet’t Englished much at all.
