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.

Pizza is not made on a grill or with cornmeal on the bottom, it's made on a hot stone, with flour on the bottom of the dough to keep it from sticking. It also does not ever touch pineapples or ranch dipping sauce. What in the actual fuck is wrong with people?

That is all true with authentic pizza but as long as I know what I'm getting all of those things (except the ranch are fine with me. If I'm going to a high end pizza restraunt I expect it to be made with flour instead of cornmeal and preferably wood fired but for a home cooked meal I love the cornmeal on shitty store bought dough. Maybe that's just me though, I had it my whole childhood that way.

It's not a biscuit, it's a scone. Biscuits are cooked twice (it's in the name), you bake them then dry them.

There are no dragons in Skyrim and many other games because wyverns are NOT dragons. and don’t use the “well the overarching category is dragon so it still counts” argument on me, because I will dismiss it out of hand!

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.

A lot of video games released today are not bad because they're bad. They're overhyped and underdelivered.

I played Mighty Number 9 from start to finish and had fun, aside from some cheap spike traps.

And you know what else has cheap spike traps? Pretty much every Megaman X game after X1. Most of Megaman Zero (screen crunch), Definitely Megaman ZX. Megaman and Bass is probably even cheaper than Mighty Number 9.

Poorly advertised? Definitely
Underdelivered? Graphics are cheap and switch port was bad
Bad game? If you like megaman style games it's fine

People need to be more patient and stop eating up hype engines. They're just setting themselves up for disappointment, and blaming salespeople whose literal job has always been to just sell the damn product.

Chunky peanut butter is better than smooth (unless the recipe demands otherwise, of course). I like peanut butter because I like peanuts, dammit. I also prefer fresh peanut butter to that Jif crap. Having to stir it to mix the peanut oil back in is a small price to pay. The only ingredient in peanut butter should be PEANUTS.

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.

I will die on the hill with the Oxford comma. Looks untidy without it

Mine is sort of a two'fer:

  1. Every man should own at least one decent suit, and should try it on regularly (twice a year at minimum) to make sure it still fits — but that suit should not be black, because:
  2. Black suits are exclusively for funerals, and even there they're mostly horrible. A charcoal suit will serve literally anywhere a black suit would plus lots of places it wouldn't.

We shouldn't colonize mars, or any other planet, ever. We should just swim in our own filth for the rest of eternity. I mean, this planet had everything we could ask for and look what we did to it, if we start doing this on other planets as well we're eventually just gonna turn into fucking galactus.

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
