we all have 'em. those tiny, insignificant battles of opinion that you’ll stubbornly defend to your last breath, even though they literally do not matter one bit. i’m talking about the truly petty stuff. like, i firmly believe that cereal is a soup. fight me.
It’s kill-o-meter or (literally!) kilo-meter. It is not ko-lom-o-tor.
Noone says cen-tom-o-tor or mo-lom-o-tor so why are you pronouncing kilometre like a halfwit?
It’t tomato no tomato. Sheesh, do you English much?
No I dot’t English much.
I’m not sure if this is insignificant, due to how people pay, but diamonds are a waste of money. And the people that pay for them are rubes.
Plus blood diamonds. What kind of garbage person walks around with a rock on their hand that came from horror and pain?
Why would that be a symbol of love ?
Also diamonds are ugly. Sure they sparkle. But they are usually clear.
Opals are way more interesting.
Man-made stones are better and cheaper, and they have been for a while now.
Just because LED’s are ridiculously efficient, doesn’t mean the appliances you build should run them with the power of 1000 suns.
nor should they be piercing blue or green and fuck up the way my room looks in the dark
(at least the angry dishwasher man agrees with me on this)
The move, Aliens, plural, the James Cameron one, is utter trash. It is not a sci-fi hallmark of any sort. It is garbage that is a total slog to watch and should be lauded as terrible taste from the 80s. Even the much shat on AvP franchise, with it’s especially looked down on Requiem, is better than the shit Cameron shat out.
The classic style MMO, laden with hotkeys and hotbars, fetch quests, and grindingly gathering resources, needs to be taken 'round the barn and shot. This includes such megahits from WoW to FFXIV.
Dark Souls/Elden Ring was never good, and was only ever “okay,” at best, and never worth full price.
I’ll take my downvotes, now, thanks.
Alien is a cinematic masterpiece. Aliens is just a basic sci fi action and feels like it shouldn’t even be connected to the first movie. I don’t hate Aliens but I definitely do not get the way it’s worshipped.
Calling a tune a “banger” makes you sound like you’re from the 1940s.
If you don’t consistently return shopping carts to their corrals you’re a turd.
This is one that makes me irrationally angry. If I see someone do this, I’ll return it for them while I stare daggers at them. It’s probably immature, but I don’t give a fuck. People who do shit like this are usually contemptuous shitbags.
- the alternate ending of I Am Legend is utter shit
- Starship Troopers is not misunderstood satire
- World War Z is a great movie
- Waterworld sucks
Starship Troopers is not misunderstood satire
I’ve read a lot of Heinlein, and while I don’t think “satire” is quite the right word, I’d consider it more of a thought experiment than sincere belief.
Every word of what you just said was wrong.
That’s four hills, brother
The name “Andy” can be short for both Andrew and Anthony
Quintin Tarantino is a hack.
Other than Pulp Fiction, none of his movies any good.
I watched some episodes (short films?) of the Japanese show about a woman prisoner. “Bad bitch” persona. And she like kicks ass and is super stoic.
Every one I watched looked like a Tarantino film.
He straight up appropriated his style from a Japanese king fu franchise. And the music style with it.
“Female prisoner scorpion”
Vengeance plot.
Over the top villains.
What he is known for. Here’s a bit for you to compare.
Cutlery with a circular handle have the worst feels
gifis pronounced like “gift” without the “t”I don’t care about the initial sounds of the words in “graphics interchange format”
I think the creator was either trolling, failed at being clever (“choosy moms…”), or is an idiot.
Aren’t the initial sounds exactly why you’re right? Like I thought that was the main reason people think the creator is wrong…
Yeah, I mean it isn’t j raphical interchange format.
NASA and SCUBA are two acronyms that show acronyms clearly don’t have to be pronounced like their source words as a rule.
No one pronounces “JPEG” with a ph sound, though.
Yeah, and the word starts with the letter ghee.
Funnily enough, that’s a type of butter pronounced with a hard g.
Regardless of being correct, there’s already a format called JIF so that’d be dumb anyways.
Maybe not petty enough, but ISO 8601
Where I live there are two official languages, the one from the country, Spanish, and the one from the region, Valencian, so you have places and streets named in one and translated into the other and both are valid. Some important places have only one official name in Valencian.
Well there is a huge historical railroad station called Estación del Norte (North Station) that people called it by translating it into Valencian, and now the official name is Estació del Nord.
The thing is that the station was never located on the north of anything in the city, it is called Norte because that’s how it was called the company that built it.
Making the translation official not only increases the confusion about its location for people who doesn’t know the city, but it also hides its history, I know a lot of people living here that don’t know where the name came from and who build it.
I don’t have issues with making official naming in Valencian as long it does not change the name of a person or company.
That one hook on the key hanger is mine, and I will keep moving my GF’s keys to the next one every afternoon until she learns.
