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.
It's most useful because it's popular. I can travel to the other side of the country, find a local game shop, and sit down at a group and have a shared understanding of the rules.
Pineapple on pizza is fine. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it.
I am here for this battle, I will die on this hill.
Jalapeño, Pineapple and Pepperoni … Spicy, Sweet and Savory
It is a great blend of flavors across the palate.
I prefer to have the pineapples drained/squeezed a bit before adding to the pizza as it helps to caramelize the sugars in the pineapple. The oven has to boil off all that liquid before it can start doing so. Also all that excess pineapple juice will be drawn out first before boiling off which can make the dough soggy if you don’t allow it enough time in the oven.
But also, who cares in the grand scheme of things… pizza is great without pineapple too.
Try pineapple, onions, and olives. Same sort of thing; sweet, savory, flavory. My go-to.
I’m looking forward to trying it.
How big on those onion slices? I use a mandolin to slice mine paper thin for pizza but I’m willing to go thicker.
What kind of olives? Are we talking black olives or something more exotic?
Black olives, and red onions sliced about 1/4-1/8 inch or so thick. I’m sure really thin would work just as well, but I can’t vouch for it because I’ve not had it. Diced onions work well too, and white onions will do if red aren’t available.
A kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Yes, I know "kilo" means 1000 - I don't care since it's obvious from context.
Back in the day, using base-10 prefixes for base-2 stuff was considered fine. 1024 is close enough to 1000, after all. It only changed when some dickhead realised that, by insisting that a kilobyte (and the bigger units) was 1000 bytes, they could sell you less hard drive space without lowering the number on the box.
If you don't believe me, look at your RAM. Nobody's ever sold RAM by the "gibibyte".
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.
Horsepower is a stupid way to measure how powerful a car is. What is this the 1800s?
Its not even accurate to its name! Horses have more than 1 horse power!
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!
this is wrong. pancakes now. pancakes tomorrow. pancakes forever. specifically, my grandma’s chocolate chip pancakes
People shouldn’t be able to be told what color to paint their house. More people should experiment with wild colors inside and out.
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.
Quantum leap means the tiniest jump and not at all what it's (internationally) used for.
The word "utilize" should almost always be changed to "use".
And, people who cannot sing should not sing on stage.
You would hate my utilization of the karaoke 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? 😑
To be even more pedantic, "would" and "will" don't mean the same thing, either. 🤓
Island has an 's' in it. This was started as a stylistic choice to make the word look more Latin despite the fact that the English word has no Latin roots.
This is proof enough that English is a stupid language for the unwashed masses. There are no rules, all that matters is how it is used and understood. Anyone who tries argue that "literally can not mean figuratively" or that gif has to be pronouced a specific way is an idiot trying to force logic into a system that has none. Don't waste your time trying to explain that you know the only true and proper rules to Calvinball.
That 's,' that's what broke me.
Deck PCs combine the worst of both worlds, they are too cumbersome to be a proper handheld, and too underpowered to compete with desktop PCs.
