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.

@thrawn21 Phones are too big, too heavy and too complicated. A few years ago my now "regular" sized phone would be called a tablet.

It's "different from".

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

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

"Quilted" toilet paper is just scam to get you to buy less toilet paper for the same money.
It's not stronger.
It's not softer.
It weighs half as much as regular toilet paper and lasts half as long for the same price.
You are paying for air.

Linux is far from perfect and is not ready to replace Windows for regular users. Being a mainly Linux user for a bit more than 3 years I still feel frustrated at times.

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.

Reverse Osmosis water tastes better than filtered water.

The original 151 Pokemon had just as many bland, poor, and lazy designs as any generation since (and legitimately good designs, dont get me wrong) and anyone claiming the ice cream cone is automatically worse than 'pile of goo that becomes bigger pile of goo' is just talking through nostalgia
