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”

    The most pointless hill I will die on is the whole regardless, irregardless thing.

    They mean the same thing, but irregardless is redundant. My friend uses that word purely because he knows it pisses me off.

    “Spectacle Fighter”.

    In the late aughts, game critic Ben “Yathzee” Croshaw came up with that term to describe games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, beat-em-up type games where the point is less “can you get through” and more “how high can you get that combo meter? How COOL can you make yourself look while beating up all these fodder enemies?”

    A few years later the industry coalesced on an agreed-upon term for this subgenre – And called it “Character Action”.

    Yathzee has just accepted defeat and uses the term everyone uses, he has to, he works in games media.

    I refuse. Character Action is a dumb, DUMB term because every action game is a character action game, because there is ACTION and CHARACTERS in all of them.

    Whereas “Spectacle Fighter” was perfectly descriptive of just WHAT made those games special. You are FIGHTING, and the objective is to LOOK SPECTACULAR.

      Sure you do it this way the first time… But what if I want seconds? That chocolate milk (I love Coco Pebbles) is just sitting there waiting for more cereal. I can’t let the milk starve!

    The reverse toilet paper thing is useful when you have pet that’s like to mess with it.

    But either way is ok for me, I guess.

    I mean, I couldn’t care fewer about it.

    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

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

    Cement is an ingredient in concrete.

    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.
