Personally I love oranges but cant stand orange juice.
Steak is overrated. I’d take a smash burger over a steak 9 times out of 10, and that 1 time out of 10 will just be because I’m in the mood for peppercorn sauce.
Bananas are fucking disgusting
Pokemon is a wild [insert word here] for IRL hunting which I do not condone. It’s literally the same premise just with cutesy characters and PG story line so that kids can become desensitized to the concept.
“Steep learning curve” means quick to learn, not difficult. The curve is learning over time. If the curve is steep there is much learning over short time.
Doesn’t mean easy nor hard, just quick.
The word “utilize” should almost always be changed to “use”.
And, people who cannot sing should not sing on stage.
Island has an ‘s’ in it. This was started as a stylistic choice to make the word look more Latin despite the fact that the English word has no Latin roots.
This is proof enough that English is a stupid language for the unwashed masses. There are no rules, all that matters is how it is used and understood. Anyone who tries argue that “literally can not mean figuratively” or that gif has to be pronouced a specific way is an idiot trying to force logic into a system that has none. Don’t waste your time trying to explain that you know the only true and proper rules to Calvinball.
That ‘s,’ that’s what broke me.
And the Bri’ish accent was made up by fancy bois and was supposed to be a cool way to speak. It’s entirely artificial. So if some try-hard tries to criticize your English scream "Gubnuh!“ at then and tell them to go have a wank.
as a French speaker, I’d say the same about French… I don’t know how many languages are based strongly on logic though
Pineapple on pizza is fine. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to eat it.
I am here for this battle, I will die on this hill.
Jalapeño, Pineapple and Pepperoni … Spicy, Sweet and Savory
It is a great blend of flavors across the palate.
I prefer to have the pineapples drained/squeezed a bit before adding to the pizza as it helps to caramelize the sugars in the pineapple. The oven has to boil off all that liquid before it can start doing so. Also all that excess pineapple juice will be drawn out first before boiling off which can make the dough soggy if you don’t allow it enough time in the oven.
But also, who cares in the grand scheme of things… pizza is great without pineapple too.
The only sane pineapple take
Saying “bless you” for sneezing is the most bothersome human interaction (to me) that serves literally no purpose but people pretend that it does to justify doing it out of habit. And, oh boy, have I gotten so much shit for it.
Horsepower is a stupid way to measure how powerful a car is. What is this the 1800s?
Its not even accurate to its name! Horses have more than 1 horse power!
Toilet paper roll side doesn’t matter.
I completely disagree with you and accept your backward opinion as an opinion only, not an objective fact, like my side in this issue.
it makes it slightly easier to reach for the roll, especially if it’s far away
It does. Greatly.
Based.
There are many entirely-valid ways to write out the sound of laughter including endless variations of “heehee,” “heh-heh,” “hahaha,” and more, but I believe “hehehe” is just incorrect.
Ever seen Paulie laugh in the Sopranos?
But some people hehehe when they laugh? Hell, I’ve done it. I’m not proud of it, but I’m man enough to admit I’ve hehehed.
You can leave salt out of 90% of dishes without noticing.
I’m not going to downvote you for stating an unpopular opinion when you were asked for one but I think you crossed a line here, pal…
YouI can leave salt out of 90% of dishes without noticing.Thats what you meant to say.
False. I’d argue 90% of recipes need more salt
A connoisseur of English cuisine, I see!
I don’t know how to leave salt out of fried sausage/bacon. Also chips/fried potatoes are part of the 10%.
All that exploited spice trade and you’re still eating like its WWI rationing.
People pronouncing processes (and biases) like they rhyme with “chimpanzees”, instead of “addresses”.
Since the English language has done words that borrow the Greek and make an -eez sound, like crisis to crises, people seem to think process is Greekified. It doesn’t follow the same pattern at all.
English is hard enough as it is without inventing extra rules to try to make us sound smarter. Meanwhile, I try to de-Greekify the language with octopuses, syllabuses, and cactuses - all valid plurals in English.

I’m not going to differentiate between Greek and Latin roots and I’m going to keep my freedom of interpretation from Latin thank you.
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000 - I don’t care since it’s obvious from context.
Back in the day, using base-10 prefixes for base-2 stuff was considered fine. 1024 is close enough to 1000, after all. It only changed when some dickhead realised that, by insisting that a kilobyte (and the bigger units) was 1000 bytes, they could sell you less hard drive space without lowering the number on the box.
If you don’t believe me, look at your RAM. Nobody’s ever sold RAM by the “gibibyte”.
Numerical marketing is nonsense all around.
Video, which was always counted by vertical resolution (lines on analog TV), suddenly became horizontal with 4K, 8K, and it’s not even close, 4K usually referring to 3840x2160.
There are three entirely different things that “5G” can refer to: the mobile network standard, 5GHz WiFi standard, or 5Gbps network connection.
ty this always struck me as odd but yeah that makes prefect sense now that I see it written that way. Obviously it’s a marketing thing. Obviously!
Keep spreading the good word, brother. Amen.
People shouldn’t be able to be told what color to paint their house. More people should experiment with wild colors inside and out.
Are people told what color to paint their house? By whom?
HOAs essentially have rules for everything and force you to have your house conform to whatever standards were established when your house was built.
In the US, many municipalities cannot “afford” to expand municipal services to new developments, so instead said developments will establish an HOA that handles basic municipal needs (ex: trash, water, electricity, paving) along with other niceties like landscaping. The idea is that you are paying as a group to fund things in the neighborhood (but you of course still pay property tax to the city/county/state).
Haha, America strikes again for basic failures
I had to get a new roof and siding due to hail damage. I got a blue metal roof with white trim and sage green vinyl siding. I took a bit of a risk and depending on how cloudy it is the blue roof reflects too much blue and the too colors start clashing instead of complimenting. But most importantly it’s not boring! Also it’ll look really good as the vinyl starts fading
i see they are pressured into painting colors that are similar to neighborhood houses, to "maintain some arbitrary value.
Sounds like someone has butted heads with an HOA or enforcement of some other covenant on look and feel.
Some people apparently have unseemly feelings about everything fitting to a certain design plan.
At the other end of the scale, there’s painting your house neon yellow. A house is not a tennis ball. It should not cause road accidents.
Thanks, here’s the mock-up of my new place:
Modern and cozy at the same time!
In a suburb about half an hours drive from me theres a pink house, like an almost barbie-pink. Its eye-catching, i love it for them. I bet theres a real character in that household!
