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.

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

Ever since Pascal, Gaming laptops have been acceptable. Before that mobile GPUs were abominations that performed horribly and got insanely hot. It's still a bummer that the CPU/GPU are soldered down.

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.

This is wrong and I will defend my opinion to the death!

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.

I refuse to cut my hair, just a bit in the ends every few months.

I actively refuse to enter one of the best universities in my city where I got recommended to, because is run by military and they would make me cut my hair. Just nope.

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

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 cannot handle hot takes so I will have to refrain from being too honest so here is an easy one: Cilantro is disgusting, how some can eat dish soap on their food is baffling.

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.

Petty hill? If you put ads on your game after every level, I will uninstall it.

Also, the phrase 'you people' is the worst combination of words in any language ever and should never be used in any way. I will dislike you instantly and judge you harshly from then on.

Also also, pineapple on pizza is fine, but its not canadian bacon, its ham! Call it what it is!

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

We shouldn't colonize mars, or any other planet, ever. We should just swim in our own filth for the rest of eternity. I mean, this planet had everything we could ask for and look what we did to it, if we start doing this on other planets as well we're eventually just gonna turn into fucking galactus.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

The only other planets we can reach are lifeless balls of rock with no ecosystem to destroy and very little in the way of valuable resources. We'd be better served by mining asteroids and planetary rings, which do have valuable resources.

If we discover a way to move things faster than light, however, then we can become Galactus.

  • There's Vanilla ice cream, and also "vanilla" ice cream

  • Burger and sandwich places should offer cooked vegetable options to add to the burger/sandwich for people who cannot eat or simply don't like raw vegetables
