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 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. ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜‚

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.

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.

I don't know what you mean by Gamings laptops are good. Compared to what? Has there been a rumor that they were bad? I might be missing context. I mean they're obviously not as good as desktops, but they're good considering the size and mobility

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.

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

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!

[โ€“] keet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Pizza, at least the US-ified version, starts off as crust, sauce, and cheese. Toppings are added to the pizza for extra deliciousness. That being said, there is no such thing as a "Cheese" pizza. It should be properly called a "plain" pizza as it lacks any real toppings.

Gnome is not only a perfectly valid and functional DE, it also looks better than others. I'll go even one step further and say that KDE looks clunky and Xfce looks dated no matter how you customize them.

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.

I am open minded and people are free to believe what they want, but if you put pineapple on pizza, you are a heretic.

[โ€“] HubertManne@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I would rather eat a hawiian pizza in hell than a special in heaven!
