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.
Unless it’s boiled before they bake it, it’s not a fucking bagel, it’s doughnut-shaped bread. Bagels also do not contain blueberries, and any suggestion to the contrary should be met with a swift ass whooping.
Bagels also do not contain blueberries
This made me think, “Everything” bagels don’t actually include blueberries, but it’s literally supposed to contain everything! Irrefutable proof that blueberries can’t be in bagels
Blueberry bagels are my second favorite. Spank me daddy
Heathen. Destroyer of all that is good. What is your first favorite?
Vanilla is NOT a boring flavour. It is the best flavour and most versatile flavour!!! Describing things as vanilla should not be synonymous with boring and I’ll fight anyone who argues otherwise
Phones are for talking, navigating, and casual content consumption. Desktops (and laptops) are for actually getting things done. Both are useful, but the former is not a substitute for the latter.
Tablets are oversized phones that can’t even phone. I don’t see any use for them that isn’t better served by something else. They’d actually be useful if they ran a desktop operating system, and some early ones did, but modern ones don’t.
Artificial sweeteners is one of the reasons I’m not obese. You can quote me all the studies you want, diet coke is not a gateway drink to regular coke, and splenda on my black coffee doesn’t make me crave a caramel macchiato.
Yeah. I don’t get it either. Artificial sweetners are way more effective at stimulating your tastebuds than sugar for the calories.
Why would anyone switch to an inferior product which ruins your health if they have the option not to??
I can taste all of the artificial sweeteners. My spouse uses them constantly and they taste sideways to me. My partner doesn’t taste much of a difference so If we ever get drinks mixed up I’m the poison tester.
The only way to get them to taste fine enough is by using a mixture of a few different ones. I’m sure my experience is similar to people who have the cilantro soap thing.
I think high fructose corn syrup taste like literal poison. I can taste it in anything and everything it’s in. Funny thing though. Your tastebuds acclimate, and you get used to flavors (either HFCS or Aspartame). I still struggle with stevia, sometimes, but it’s far easier to look past than high fructose corn syrup.
Artificial sweetners do taste “off” to me, but tastebuds can acclimate to it. The rest of my digestive system? Not so much. Let’s just say there is a reason it is pronounced ASS-partame.
My partner has been doing low carb for around 5 years now. I’m assuming it takes longer? I usually try everything they make. From ice cream to syrups to cakes.
Real talk though, I love xanthan gum. I know it’s garbage.
I don’t care about the calories. Artificial sweeteners taste like plastic cancer, so it’s normal coke for me.
Aspartame gave me terrible headaches. Then I became diabetic. Turns out by that time sucralose was more popular. It doesn’t give me headaches and it tastes fine. After so long of having sucralose, I can now tolerate aspartame. Still gross though.
Microtransactions are not acceptable in full retail single player games. I don’t care if it’s only cosmetics. If i pay 60 bucks for it, i better get the whole damn thing. Looking at you, Diablo 4.
There are three drinks you can call a martini:
- A martini is gin and vermouth, maybe with some bitters if you like
- A vodka martini is vodka and vermouth, bitters again optional
- A vesper martini is gin, vodka, and lillet blanc
- Any of the above can be made “dirty” with olive brine if you want
Anything else is a cocktail in a martini glass. No shade if you like apple schnapps, lemon juice, and vodka, drink what you like, but it’s not a martini.
Ah, as a fan of martinis this is a hill I could also die on
That judgements tell you a lot more about the person doing the judging than they do about the thing being judged

This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I’m seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I’ve spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this “issue”. It’s not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it’s like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It’s an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.
Large Language Models and other affiliated algorithms are not AI and no amount of marketing will convince me otherwise. As a result I refuse to call them AI when talking to people about them.
I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.
Thanks, been arguing this for ages.
A Chihuahua is not a legitimate dog, it’s a rat with delusions of grandeur.
That’s a disservice to rats, their domestic variety are smarter and better behaved. Least that I’ve seen
Microsoft Word is a bad piece of software that is poorly designed, laughably unoptimized, and mostly dysfunctional. It’s like a passenger car with seven wheels arranged in an irregular septagon, a 1 gallon gas tank, and a kitchen stool for a seat.
Also hype clothes are a tremendous waste and reveal the hollowness and meaninglessness that underlies most fashion
Microsoft Word…
That’s neither an opinion nor petty; those are just straight facts.
If someone uses the phrase “assless chaps” I will not rest until they admit that if chaps had an ass, they would be pants.
Fight me.
Pugs are not “so cute” because they’re ugly. They are deformed from countless generations of in-breeding and genetic manipulation by horrible horrible humans and are in constant pain, cannot breathe, and have countless other physical ailments. They should not exist in their current form and it makes me sad for the animal whenever I see one, and immediately lose all respect for the owner for furthering such a travesty.
The only way that it’ll become better is if the standard for the pug changes. The UK kennel club has updated it’s standard to include a healthier head and muzzle shape. Unfortunately the American Kennel Club has not yet done so. The pugs that are presented at Westminster are sickening.
I also take beef with the awful roached back of the German Shepherd show standard.
Sarcasm and irony are not the same thing dammit! A limp, unfunny imitation is not a “parody”! I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS, INTERNET!!!
