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.

    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.

        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.

    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

    That judgements tell you a lot more about the person doing the judging than they do about the thing being judged

    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.

    A grilled cheese is only a grilled cheese if the most singificant portion of the ingredients between the bread is cheese. Otherwise, it is a grilled X with cheese.

    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.

    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.

    Those big SUV like Ford f150 should be illegal, for real. They are super long and tall, the driver can barely see what’s right in front, it’s dangerous for everyone not in the car. Cars should have stricter limits on size, if it’s bigger, you need a special license.

    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

    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.
