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.

Unless it's boiled before they bake it, it's not a fucking bagel, it's doughnut-shaped bread. Bagels also do not contain blueberries, and any suggestion to the contrary should be met with a swift ass whooping.

The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.

"Quilted" toilet paper is just scam to get you to buy less toilet paper for the same money.
It's not stronger.
It's not softer.
It weighs half as much as regular toilet paper and lasts half as long for the same price.
You are paying for air.

Similar to yours, an SUV or CUV is just a lifted hatchback on steroids, and they have 0 upsides and a lot of downsides (higher fuel consumption, rollover risk and pedestrian and cyclist safety).

Tabs make more sense than spaces.

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.

It's "different from".

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

I know it has a long history of not being used literally, but I think literally should only be used to mean literally.

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!

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?
