For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”

    Using 12 AM or 12 PM is useless. Midnight is both and noon is neither.

    The saying “hindsight is 20/20” is stupid. 20/20 is average. As someone with better than 20/20, my hindsight would be worse than normal.

    It’s concrete, not cement. (Sidewalks for example, or foundations of buildings, etc)

    Cement is an ingredient in concrete.

    The medical symbol of the staff with the snake is only supposed to have 1 (one) snake on it. A staff with 1 snake is the Rod of Asclepius (the son of Apollo and Greek demigod of medicine), a staff with 2 snakes is a Caduceus which is carried by Hermes as a messenger or herald.

    Physicians get 1 snake. Couriers and heralds get 2 snakes. Any medical professional or organization that uses 2 snakes is wrong and needs to go study the humanities and classics for a bit.

    If you regularly use 3rd party food delivery services and you’re not disabled you’re the reason restaurant food quality has gone to shit and I will call you out on it.

    You’ve made it clear you’re willing to pay twice as much for a shittier product and these businesses have heard you loud and clear.

    Stick to the side of the path your country drives on or at least move to that side if someones comming the otherway. I don’t get how this isn’t common knowledge but it also doesn’t matter all that much.

    Trucks should be used for working and not hauling groceries. Get a fucking car or a van. Roads are safer with more crash compatibe vehicles that also weigh less. Large trucks should need a special licence to drive/own Driving should also be taught in school

    The “is a hot dog a sandwich” and similar discussions are solved with the mighty sword of language and not some rigid taxonomy about fillings and bread.

    Imagine a set of food items on a table, hot dog amongst them, but not other pseudo-sandwiches. I ask you to “Please pass me that sandwich.” If there is but a moment’s pause in your mind before you reach for the hot dog, even if it’s as you surmise I must be speaking about the hot dog as there are no other sandwich-like items available, then it is not a sandwich.

      taxonomy

      shit

      Is that the right word

      I’ve been using “ontology” when talking about item classification to sound smart

      I guess it worked bc no one said “You mean taxonomy, right?” yet. My illusion of pretending I’m not a dumbass to people IRL isn’t broken yet I hope.
