“Brutal honesty” motherfuckers just want to be mean. Also they can’t handle honesty from others at all.
Allied with - "I just say it like it is", nope motherfucker, you say it like you see it, consider you might be wrong.
I am convinced beyond contestation that carpeting a bathroom is an exceptionally stupid thing to do.
This is not warm, this is cold hard facts
The assignment was "not super controversial, but I still really stand by it."
My bathroom was carpeted. By my direct ancestors. They built the rest of the world I live in, too.
Pizza is one of the best food forms we've ever come up with. I don't even care if you use wildly nontraditional toppings, like a chicken vindaloo pizza or a chili dog pizza. Just put the shit you wanna eat on a giant dough, cook it, then cut it up and eat it. Genius.
I once made a seafood and butter sauce pizza for a highschool gf. Hated it myself but she still talked about it years after we spit. Pizza and Sandwiches are the peak of human civilization
The most important political issues are education and the environment, because those determine the future.
Any home that doesn’t have central air conditioning should at least have a dedicated circuit outlet by each window. It’s like home designers are trying to make people sweat.
Water is really good, you should drink it every day.
My girlfriend prefers her water room temp, and as someone who loves ice cold water, it's so weird to me. So I think I'm gonna start thinking of this as her lukewarm take.
I am also a woman of room temp water preference, I'm glad to know there is hope for me in finding a boyfriend
Room temp water guy here, but already happily married lol
There are dozens of us!
I didn't know I had to put this on my tinder bio, you have changed my life
Bleu cheese is the best cheese.
To each their own, I think a good parmesan is my favorite, but blue cheese is pretty up there
People who are always the hero of their own stories are not trustworthy narrators.
People who are the most uptight about manners and language are the rudest and most vile shit talkers.
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
Honesty is the most important factor in any relationship.
I'm okay with piracy. I think a lot of people feel the need to justify it with phrases like "it's not stealing it's just copying," among others. To me that seems like being in denial about the moral ambiguity of what you're doing. There's so much free media out there you don't need to pirate the stuff that isn't.
Personally I'm okay with being told I'm a thief and am scamming the creators who worked hard on a product. Idc I'm broke, bored, interested in your thing and can steam it in HD from a website instantly. No login, no ads, no worries. I'm a pirate through and through and part of being a pirate is being morally bankrupt lol.
Private soil farming is a great business model. Low cost, high demand. With fewer chemicals and wider practice, the trade will be more sustainable.
More houses will be 3D printed — and smaller — in the future.
The internal combustion engine is the largest technological mis-step in human history.
Lukewarm water is great for showering
Different strokes for different folks.
Humans have intrinsic value and nobody should be treated cruelly without cause. Aside from in relatively marginal places, that worldview has largely won.
I'd extend it to "people are basically the same everywhere", but there's actual disagreement about that.

Either watch the movie OR read the book. Never both. Both just leads to disappointment at the cost of your time.
There are notable exceptions, LOTR comes to mind, well executed adaption IMO.
The future ain't what be it used to be.
If you can't say something nice...
Being online would be lot better, and I think we would learn more. Trying to implement this in myself. I wasn't raised right.
