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”

    Nuts only make sense in something that’s already hard, like a cookie. It complements it by going from something hard-ish to another hard-ish texture.

    Nuts in cake DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. I hate having to chew something smooth and spongy and suddenly - CRONCH. It’s repulsive. 99% of the time it also tastes worse than the cake itself. If you actually want to put nuts on your damn cake, put it on the top so I can slide it off and eat it separately. Thank you.

    If you’ve ever had a cat sit in front of a toilet paper roll and spin it, you will appreciate having the open end toward the wall so it doesn’t fully unravel

    Remember, kids, “less” is for uncountable things, like liquids, whereas “fewer” is for countable things (like apples).

    It’s one of many weird rules that English, as a language, has.

    Not sure what counts as “petty”, but there’s one that is relevant to a recent discussion I had. If you say something considered “offensive”, it is arguably equally so no matter who says it and/or who it is towards. I run a few groups and people have a hard enough time here that it almost seems like it’s a matter of a vote now.

    Further/Farther… Just because everyone I know knows the difference, but still mixes it up (myself included) and having it pointed out is like a fun game. Maybe not if someone is really laying out their feelings though, then that’s tacky.

    Canon is important to science fiction and comic book adaptations because the rules of those universes operate so wildly different from our own that it is important to put more work in keeping things consistent.

    Having general AI on games makes me skip them, I’ll be skipping Mecha Break after I saw that NPC that you can literally talk to, just a giant waste of time and a reason to not pay voice actors, I really don’t want to go back to the time where you had to type what you wanted to do in an interpreter in King’s Field.

    It’s “an historical,” not “a historical.” I don’t care if that’s outdated, that’s proper.
