- ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
- We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.
Stop using timezones? So every day would actually be two weekdays because at some random point in time it would switch date during the day. Let's meet next Monday wouldn't even specify a single day anymore in most countries. And there is no real benefit to stop using timezones, just downsides. Yes you'd know which time it is anywhere but you still wouldn't know of they are awake or not and have to either look it up or remember it - the same you have to do now.
Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.
Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.
People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.
Using "themselves" for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.
It's "themself." (Unless they're plural.)
Also, "Latinx" is performative white ally cringe. It's not pronounceable in Spanish. Use "Latine." -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.
Daylight savings time needs to be gotten rid of.
The imperial measurement standard needs to be gotten rid of.
The UN security council veto should be able to be overridden by the general assembly.
Collective responsibility for a democracy's crimes should be a thing.
The country of Israel should be moved to an open area of land with no people on it. Siberia, Alaska, Greenland, or the jungles of South America.
There should be a corporate death penalty when they commit crimes.
All kids should have food.
All humans should have access to very basic water and food. Like beans and rice for everyone, no exceptions.
Basic sanitation is a human right.
Religion should not be respected any more than any other bag of philosophical ideas. Stupid parts of religions should be called out and discussed, not hallowed and treated with respect even if its utter nonsense.
People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.
Han Solo shot first. Screw any of the remakes or special editions he was a pirate and was just protecting himself from an even more dangerous pirate.
Nope. Sorry but you're just wrong. "Han shot first" implies Greedo shot second. And he most certainly did not. Han shot, Greedo died. Green fucker with finger suckers didn't even get a shot off.
Jesus christ guys, can you mark this as a spoiler for those of us that haven't got round to watching this yet /s
Owning a pug is animal cruelty
EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.
Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they've added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn't excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it's not because we've perfected them or some shit, it's because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.
. The race of a voice actor doesn't matter
The race and gender of an actor don't matter. Ask Shakespeare
It is "Math" and not "Maths"
I think it's context dependent.
The field is called mathematics, but I see math as a short form of mathematic or mathematical.
Calling something a 'math' question or a 'maths' question both make sense. But something like "I hate math" sounds like you hate a singular mathematic, which sounds weirder to me than "I hate maths" (the field).
-for humanity to survive, it must eliminate the rich
-pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.
-new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.
- the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it's more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There's also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that's centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.
Both employer related:
- no biometrics
- birthday not for sale
-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.
