    D&D is not as good as it is popular. It’s a very idiosyncratic game that’s mostly focused on a particular kind of play, but people treat it like it’s a general purpose tool.

    Clearly people can have fun with it, and that’s what really matters. I’m still convinced many of them would have more, easier, cheaper, fun if they picked up a different game.

    Steak is overrated. I’d take a smash burger over a steak 9 times out of 10, and that 1 time out of 10 will just be because I’m in the mood for peppercorn sauce.

    Pancakes are fragile narcissists. You need a WHOLE FUCKING INTERNATIONAL HOUSE TO SLAKE YOUR EGO, YOU THIRSTY, PATHETIC BREAKFAST FOOD!!

    You’re nothing, nothing, compared to the waffle!

    I wish it was socially acceptable to interest-dump someone and for them to do the same to you.

    Just getting a 5-10 minute lecture deep into a topic that someone is passionate about is fun and educational! Much better than trying to make small talk or talk about the 3 common topics at your workplace (at mine it is local tv, energy spending/taxes, and cars), which is often sports. Then you get to learn about other people’s interests too!

    If you’ve never worked on a holiday you shouldn’t be allowed to go to stores and restaurants on holidays.

    Saying “bless you” for sneezing is the most bothersome human interaction (to me) that serves literally no purpose but people pretend that it does to justify doing it out of habit. And, oh boy, have I gotten so much shit for it.

    The word “utilize” should almost always be changed to “use”.

    And, people who cannot sing should not sing on stage.

    People pronouncing processes (and biases) like they rhyme with “chimpanzees”, instead of “addresses”.

    Since the English language has done words that borrow the Greek and make an -eez sound, like crisis to crises, people seem to think process is Greekified. It doesn’t follow the same pattern at all.

    English is hard enough as it is without inventing extra rules to try to make us sound smarter. Meanwhile, I try to de-Greekify the language with octopuses, syllabuses, and cactuses - all valid plurals in English.

    Oranges are the worst kind of orange. They taste quite good, but if I need to use tools to eat it, I want something at least as good as a grapefruit.

    American servers: clear the table when everyone is done. Not before.

    And don’t ask me if I am still working on it while I am eating. I am not “working on it” to finish my lunch.

    For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.

    Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑
