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.

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.

Pizza is not made on a grill or with cornmeal on the bottom, it's made on a hot stone, with flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. It also does not ever touch pineapples or ranch dipping sauce. What in the actual fuck is wrong with people?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That is all true with authentic pizza but as long as I know what I'm getting all of those things (except the ranch are fine with me. If I'm going to a high end pizza restraunt I expect it to be made with flour instead of cornmeal and preferably wood fired but for a home cooked meal I love the cornmeal on shitty store bought dough. Maybe that's just me though, I had it my whole childhood that way.

A lot of video games released today are not bad because they're bad. They're overhyped and underdelivered.

I played Mighty Number 9 from start to finish and had fun, aside from some cheap spike traps.

And you know what else has cheap spike traps? Pretty much every Megaman X game after X1. Most of Megaman Zero (screen crunch), Definitely Megaman ZX. Megaman and Bass is probably even cheaper than Mighty Number 9.

Poorly advertised? Definitely
Underdelivered? Graphics are cheap and switch port was bad
Bad game? If you like megaman style games it's fine

People need to be more patient and stop eating up hype engines. They're just setting themselves up for disappointment, and blaming salespeople whose literal job has always been to just sell the damn product.

Don’t refer to someone as “MILF” unless they are old enough to be your average friends’ mother.

I knew a couple of girls who had babies at 17/18 and immediately began calling themselves MILFs and it’s like people just do not understand what the term was created to convey.

Honestly, don’t refer to yourself as a MILF at all. That’s for other people to decide.

This thread has been fun to read.
I confess my first thought when reading the question though was: "none." I used to be quite comfortable drawing the line in the sand and picking such stands (totally love the "could care less" example, lol) but as I have gotten older, I have often been far more amused by people's unwillingness to see reason than annoyed by it, so I just sort of move off those hills now and just watch the fireworks from other people fly instead. 💥😂

People calling every type of fuel "gas", i.e., people gassing up their "diesel", they know they're supposed to use diesel but they call it gas anyway, WHYYY

The Oxford comma is bad. The "and" conveys the end of the list just fine.

Gaming laptops are good and have been for decades.

Soup is not food. If you spill your drink over my plate of pasta I call that a ruined plate of pasta.

I will die on the hill with the Oxford comma. Looks untidy without it

It's not a biscuit, it's a scone. Biscuits are cooked twice (it's in the name), you bake them then dry them.

I can't imagine there is a good business, that communicates effectively, that is room in Microsoft Outlook.

I never appreciated Google's productivity software until I was forced to use Microsoft's at a large company. People just openly accept this broken system and the fact that they'll miss important communications and spend far too much time accounting for the SW's shortcomings.

FUCK Microsoft Outlook. The executives making decisions for the team's designing and maintaining that product are committing crimes against humanity.

Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth (unless the recipe demands otherwise, of course). I like peanut butter because I like peanuts, dammit. I also prefer fresh peanut butter to that Jif crap. Having to stir it to mix the peanut oil back in is a small price to pay. The only ingredient in peanut butter should be PEANUTS.
