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.

I can't imagine there is a good business, that communicates effectively, that is room in Microsoft Outlook.

I never appreciated Google's productivity software until I was forced to use Microsoft's at a large company. People just openly accept this broken system and the fact that they'll miss important communications and spend far too much time accounting for the SW's shortcomings.

FUCK Microsoft Outlook. The executives making decisions for the team's designing and maintaining that product are committing crimes against humanity.

I mean... it's not that bad. Missing important communications is a skill issue that doesn't get solved by a different product.

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 only other planets we can reach are lifeless balls of rock with no ecosystem to destroy and very little in the way of valuable resources. We'd be better served by mining asteroids and planetary rings, which do have valuable resources.

If we discover a way to move things faster than light, however, then we can become Galactus.

Don’t refer to someone as “MILF” unless they are old enough to be your average friends’ mother.

I knew a couple of girls who had babies at 17/18 and immediately began calling themselves MILFs and it’s like people just do not understand what the term was created to convey.

Honestly, don’t refer to yourself as a MILF at all. That’s for other people to decide.

People cannot handle hot takes so I will have to refrain from being too honest so here is an easy one: Cilantro is disgusting, how some can eat dish soap on their food is baffling.

@thrawn21 Phones are too big, too heavy and too complicated. A few years ago my now "regular" sized phone would be called a tablet.

Ported subwoofers are far superior to sealed subwoofers. Most people prefer "sealed" because it's more forgiving of box sizes and dimensions. But it sounds like garbage - ported subwoofer boxes provide a much more dynamic range of sound allowing them to "blend" better with other speakers in the setup.

I've tried to argue this for 25 years with my big brother but he refuses to listen haha.

I am open minded and people are free to believe what they want, but if you put pineapple on pizza, you are a heretic.

I would rather eat a hawiian pizza in hell than a special in heaven!

People calling every type of fuel "gas", i.e., people gassing up their "diesel", they know they're supposed to use diesel but they call it gas anyway, WHYYY

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.

Ever since Pascal, Gaming laptops have been acceptable. Before that mobile GPUs were abominations that performed horribly and got insanely hot. It's still a bummer that the CPU/GPU are soldered down.
