8Γ·2(2+2) comes out to 16, not 1.
Saw it posted on Instagram or Facebook or somewhere and all of the top comments were saying 1. Any comment saying 16 had tons of comments ironically telling that person to go back to first grade and calling them stupid.

Copyright is far too long and should only last at most 20 years.
Actually, George Washington would agree with me if he was still alive. He and the other founding fathers created the notion of copyright, which was to last 14 years. Then big corporations changed the laws in their favor.
An America-centric one. I've stopped tipping altogether. When the credit card reader at my grocery store deli suggested 15% I snapped.

Cars > public transportation. I forget things & often have to turn back, and I like the freedom to change my mind at any point, stop where I want, and go wherever I want. I also hate being forced into shared public spaces. I also hate the idea of trusting the government to make any of it in any way near efficient. Fuck public transportation.

We are trying to solve computer/rocket-age problems with a caveman brain. If we don't start genetic engineering humans soon i'd wager we'll eradicate ourselves before we colonize other planets and stars.

From a human experience standpoint, Fahrenheit is more meaningful than Celsius.
0Β°F - Too damned cold 100Β°F - too damned hot
0Β°C - Jacket weather 100Β°C - He ded

The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars movies, and Luke's redemption arc was great, even if the setup for it was rushed.

Humanity cannot and will not change its practices fast enough to avoid running out of resources we keep ourselves dependent on because it's "profitable." We are a doomed species and won't be around for very much longer. We are likely living in the flash of bright before the long dark. I don't think the world my grandchildren live in will be remotely like the one we have now.
I'm perfectly fine hedging my bets and living life normally, but I think our longevity is an uncomfortable truth most people don't want to face.

People who think Trump or Biden has their best interest in mind vs me.
The main story of Baldur's Gate 3 is pretty bland and mediocre.
Donβt get me wrong, itβs still a phenomenal game! The companion arcs, acting and overall presentation are still next level, some sidestories are very good, and itβs great how faithfully they adapted the D&D rules. But the main story ...
Spoiler
... is pretty bare bones and has no real twists and turns along the way.
- You start with a mindflayer tadpole in your head, so who do you think will be the final boss? Exactly, an elder brain.
- On the way you kill 3 major henchmen, who just want power, destruction, or are confused beyond saving. None of them were particularly interesting or multi-layered (maybe Ketheric a bit). None of them could be saved, convinced to switch sides, or at least affected somehow. Aligning with them is only temporary, makes barely any difference, and absolutely no difference for the end afaik.
- Most big quests end in act 3 in the same manner: Go to a place in BG and dispose of the boss character behind it all.
- The revelations with the Emperor/Balduran were nice, but he was a very mysterious character for the entirety oft he game, and his decision to fight you if you side with Orpheus is just absolutely ridiculous!

Onions taste gross and have no tangible benefit to cooking. Fight me.
This thread really has brought out some real crazies.
But you sir are, in fact, a demon among men.
Both Mario Odyssey and SMB Wonder are only innovative in a vacuum where Mario is the only platformer franchise. Which for a lot of people I imagine is the extent of their knowledge about platformers.
The things people call "innovative" about Mario Odyssey are just half Kirby and half Banjo-Kazooie. Yeah Odyssey's biggest maps are way bigger than Banjo-Kazooie, but SMO runs on hardware that can emulate the N64, and it still has quite a few maps on the smaller side
SMB Wonder... I don't actually know what people call "innovative" about SMB Wonder, but I've seen people call it "innovative." It's the best 2D Mario made in the 21st century and it has a pretty cool gimmick. What's innovative about this?
Does a map have to be large though? Theres value in a map being exactly as large as it needs to be to fulfill its creative vision.

NFTs are an interesting and valuable technology that will be useful in the future as a means of digital media 'ownership' in place of 'perpetual licensing' like we see when we 'buy' media from servers today.
There's more to it than monkey pictures, and if people saw that, we would have greater control over media libraries than in the present.
Note I own 0 NFTs

Blue Cheese is the king of cheese
A lot of people have to die for the world to sort itself out. I see it starting now, soon there will be wars on every continent.
It doesn't have to be that way, but I expect it will continue to be.
Humans seem to be bad at seeing past zero-sum solutions to problems.
Gender when it comes to athletic sports should be determined by XX and XY chromosomes in order for it to be fair sports.
