A simple one I think, I refuse to call twitter by other names.

Discord is not a good replacement for support forums. Discord isn’t searchable by search engines.

Historically, if I had an issue with a product and I googled “[product] [issue]” I’d be met with a support forum post, with someone describing the same issue. I could read the thread to find how they resolved it. I don’t actually have to interact with the post at all, and I don’t need to ask the same question again. For most (decent) forums I don’t even need to make an account just to read the post.

Discord throws that all out the window. Now I’m met with a “JoiN OUr dIScoRd SerVEr to GEt suPPorT” page. Nothing is searchable via a search engine. And Discord’s server searchability (even in the app) has always been, at best, absolute dogshit. You already need to know exactly which text thread things were posted in, (because you can’t search the entire server at once), and you need to know exactly what was said, (because there’s no fuzzed search terms).

So 99% of the time, you just end up asking the same question that has already been asked a hundred times in the past, and now you need to wait for someone to respond. It also puts a lot more strain on the support staff, because they’re answering the same question a hundred times instead of just the once in a forum.

And don’t come at me with the “but Discord recently added a support forum feature where people can start threads and save the conversation for later” bullshit. That’s a band-aid, at best. It still isn’t searchable via search engines, so it means the above issues with Discord’s search function still apply, and the forum function is essentially useless as support forums.

Lastly, why the fuck should I be forced to join another server just to get support? What if I don’t have a discord account? What if I live in a region that Discord doesn’t support? What if I just plain don’t want to clog up my server sidebar with dozens of servers that I have only visited once? What if I just really hate the fact that your server has been configured to push notifications for every single message by default? What if I just fucking want to google my issue, and get an answer without any further effort?

If it were supposed to be pronounced "jif" it would have been spelled that way, I don't give two fucks what Stephen Wilhite said about it either.

"white chocolate" doesn't exist. It's just sugar and a little bit of cocoa butter. It's edible wax. It's not chocolate and it doesn't belong in any assortment of sweets, ever. Cocoa butter is skin moisturizer and that's it.

The medical symbol of the staff with the snake is only supposed to have 1 (one) snake on it. A staff with 1 snake is the Rod of Asclepius (the son of Apollo and Greek demigod of medicine), a staff with 2 snakes is a Caduceus which is carried by Hermes as a messenger or herald.

Physicians get 1 snake. Couriers and heralds get 2 snakes. Any medical professional or organization that uses 2 snakes is wrong and needs to go study the humanities and classics for a bit.

To streamers, YouTubers, etc. Your Patreon supporters are called Patrons. Not fucking "Patreons."

Things happen by accident or on purpose. No one over the age of 3 should be using "on accident".

its "I could not care less" and not "I could care less". This one drives me nuts

The Oxford comma.

If something's rate of hype is too fast for my internal meter, I will become immediately skeptical of the trend/show/etc. and not care about it, solely because everyone is caring about it too much and too fast.

i don't record or watch vertical videos

No ticket, no support.

Even if it is for batteries for your wireless keyboard and mouse. Ticket please.

YYYY/MM/DD

I know this is unpopular. Have had several long winded discussions on this with friends and folks alike. "All religions are cults", doesn't matter the person is alive, dead or imaginary, you're just following a charismatic leader(s).

The reverse toilet paper thing is useful when you have pet that's like to mess with it.

But either way is ok for me, I guess.

I mean, I couldn't care fewer about it.

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON'T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!

It’s concrete, not cement. (Sidewalks for example, or foundations of buildings, etc)

Cement is an ingredient in concrete.

using "he/she" to refer to an ambiguous party. just use they for fucks sake

If someone offers you something you don't want, simply say no thank you. Don't say "no I don't like that" as if you are 4.

The seventh planet from the sun should be called Caelus not Uranus. All the other planets get named after the Roman equivalent of their respective god, why should that one get special treatment just so people can make puerile jokes.

EDIT: spelling

I think fewer of people when they misuse words. Their not that hard too tail a part.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

TP roll end goes over, not under.

It's even shown like this in the patent

Load the goddamn plane by column, window seats to aisle seats, grouped by odd/even seat numbers and make people line up largest seat number to smallest. It takes an extra five minutes before you board the plane and saves you twenty or thirty. It wouldn't even cost you the five if it was the standard.

a couple always means two.

every time anyone says “a couple”, i ask them if they mean two. it’s not pleasant exchange for either of us, but it must be done

Pluto is a MOTHER FUCKING PLANET

It has enough mass to deform into a spheroid, it orbits on the major plane of every other planet.

"Clearing their orbit" is utter bullshit, Earth hasn't even cleared its orbit that's why we get the Perseid and The Leonid meteor showers.

Fuck you NDT, I know you didn't start it but you SURE as FUCK popularized it.

And I will literally fistfight any of you who disagree idgaf where or when.

Trucks should be used for working and not hauling groceries. Get a fucking car or a van. Roads are safer with more crash compatibe vehicles that also weigh less. Large trucks should need a special licence to drive/own Driving should also be taught in school

It's pronounced niche, not niche, damn it.

"Spectacle Fighter".

In the late aughts, game critic Ben "Yathzee" Croshaw came up with that term to describe games like Bayonetta and Devil May Cry, beat-em-up type games where the point is less "can you get through" and more "how high can you get that combo meter? How COOL can you make yourself look while beating up all these fodder enemies?"

A few years later the industry coalesced on an agreed-upon term for this subgenre -- And called it "Character Action".

Yathzee has just accepted defeat and uses the term everyone uses, he has to, he works in games media.

I refuse. Character Action is a dumb, DUMB term because every action game is a character action game, because there is ACTION and CHARACTERS in all of them.

Whereas "Spectacle Fighter" was perfectly descriptive of just WHAT made those games special. You are FIGHTING, and the objective is to LOOK SPECTACULAR.

I frequent a bakery that sells the Swedish treat called a semla. No one who works there speaks Swedish, so when I ask for ”two semlor” (pl.), they repeat it right back to me ”two semlas”. Sigh. They have a very finite number of foreign language menu items—they can learn the plurals. (Don’t get me wrong, if ”semlas” is the price of semlor I don’t have to make, I am willing to pay it, but boy does it annoy me.)
