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 word “literally” has been forever ruined by people who use it to mean “figuratively.” Worse, there is now literally no way to actually convey the original meaning of the word “literally” in a concise, clear way.

    You have to say something like, “A is literally 10 times bigger than B…and I mean that ACTUALLY literally.” And then people will STILL assume that you’re speaking figuratively.

    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

      As someone who lives in Texas and watches the biggest trucks be driven by the worst drivers on the road, I agree with the extra license bit. I also believe they should only be allowed to park in specifically designated spots, considering how often they don’t fit in a parking spot and block parts of parking lots.

      Large american pickup trucks shouldnt even need to exist. You could get almost the same bed space with a kei truck (which granted is not easy to import or get but still)

        There are certain large vehicles that are still needed but the F150 (and similar) shouldn’t be in every fucking driveway Trucks are purpose built vehicles.

        I own a brewery and the number of people that drive 30-40 min in a truck to pick up a 50L keg is insane. I have a Veloster and can put 5 full kegs in it…

    assuming we’re allowed to get political, the israel/palestine shit, there are people on the left that care way too fucking much, it’s the one issue they complain about and if it took them dissolving the entire US government structure and forced us to all starve they would do that, and then be really fucking bored when they realize they have nothing to be mad about anymore.

    Little advice from me to you, doesn’t matter what your opinion is, or what it’s about. You probably care too much about it if you’re getting mad on the internet about it. Stop being mad on the internet about it, it quite literally has almost no effect on your life. You’re allowed to protest, and be unhappy about things, you’re allowed to challenge things in court, that’s all fine, but please stop calling people genocidal zionists, and aggressively insulting them, you’ve created a vile echo chamber not dissimilar to COD and league lobbies, and nobody wants to be compared to a league player.

    assuming we’re not allowed to talk about politics, all of web dev, the entire field was a mistake and we should fucking start over, the web browser is literally turning into it’s own OS that runs on top of an OS. Why? I don’t know, great question. Have you ever wanted to run a bare metal operating system, and then run a virtual machine on it, and then run a software container inside that virtual machine, and then launch software inside that container on that virtual machine on that hardware? And then felt like you needed that software to have it’s own containerization and entire OS stack running inside of it? Yeah me neither. Why is that a thing we can do?

    aside from that, every web app i have ever used is fucking awful, the networking fucking sucks, it’s all based on subscribing to the modern DNS and reverse proxy meta, which is fucking annoying for testing. And even more annoying if you don’t feel like paying for a fucking domain name if you want to host something privately. It’s super fucking restricted and just doesn’t work half the time? Like firefox and chrome webrtc don’t work together in my experience? It’s so insanely bloated that it’s a fucking nightmare to troubleshoot anything, and fixing certain problems sucks because the web doesn’t fucking want to use http anymore? Like fuck you it’s a static HTML page eat shit.

    Mumble is quite literally one of my favorite pieces of software i have used, and it’s client is broken and has a memory leak. It just fucking works, it has it’s own security and cert handling, it runs natively on IPs which means it can also work over proxy networking trivially by just, setting that up separately, like a normal person. Or you could even just, not do that. It’s incredibly flexible and does basically everything you want from a voip app. The server is minimal and quick, bots are trivial to deal with. It’s all around a great platform.

    We should all be using the 12 numeral system instead of 10 numerals and we should use tau instead of pi.

    “Roguelike” has become overused to the point that it’s basically meaningless. Nobody’s even played Rogue so it just means “a game that’s like other games that are described as roguelike,” which is like, any game. There’s a set of games where the term originated where it actually made sense, games like Angband, ADOM, Castle of the Winds, etc, that are all closely related where the term makes sense. Cogmind and Pixel Dungeon are more recent examples.

    Some of it gets resolved by describing those as “traditional roguelikes,” and using other descriptors like “action rougelike” for Hades or “rougelike deckbuilder” for Slay the Spire, but like at that point why not just use “Hadeslike” or “Spirelike” instead of constantly harking back to this 40 year old game?
