What hills are you dying on?

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.

In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I'm allowed more wfh.

Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.

• Laptops should be thick and durable with good keyboards (like old Thinkpads)
• MacOS isn't as bad as people here say, its still a Unix-based OS and that alone makes it superior to Windows
• Arch Linux is severely overrated
• Debian Linux is extremely underrated
• Alpine Linux is great on low end laptops
• Fedora Linux is the best distro for newcomers
• Rust belongs in the Linux kernel
• GPL > MIT/BSD
• Tiling > stacked
• AI sucks

I could easily die on Mt Washington, NH.

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.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.

Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups. Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character.

The race of a voice actor doesn’t matter

This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won't hire other races.

I disagree vehemently with one of these and I thought it might make a fun little mystery, but on second thought I'll just state up front it's the Monty Python one.

The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.

(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

. The race of a voice actor doesn't matter

The race and gender of an actor don't matter. Ask Shakespeare

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it's implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.

I dont care about Genshin's cultural impact, Fortnite's mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!

And since I used to say it too: "You can absolutely play without paying money" isn't an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.

. No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they've learned and die on that hill.

. Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that's the most obvious one.

. For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies "Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that "this means war" and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they're so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they're so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe." And no, STD and Picard doesn't do it any justice. Star Trek doesn't tell why the Federation is or isn't progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.

*they're

I'll die on this every day and twice in Friday

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you're expecting a child.

Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely

12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don't ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.

From a recent argument on here.

If you back-in to park in a typical parking lot, instead of just pulling in, I fucking hate you. I don't give a shit what your dumbass excuses are. It's NEVER faster or safer. There's no epidemic of backing over people. You could back in over someone same as bavking out over someone. But that basically never happens anyways. But there's certainly shitloads of morons who clearly can't handle their vehicles or geometry and inconvenience the hell out of others as we sit and wait forever for your poor attempts to back-in and then straighten out two more times.

For everyone's insistence on doing this, they sure as hell fucking suck at it.

Cool. Now go buy a smaller car since you can't handle yours, learn to pull in and back out since it's simpler, and stop justifying the idiocy.

-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.

Don't ask for more when you already have enough. People are sheep and they will never stop paying for streaming services. Onlyfans destroyed porn industry and reddit porn side.

Apple products aren't any better than anything else, it's just marketing and branding. They're like the Starbucks of computers.

I would be willing to die on Kum just to sound funny.

As an egalitarian, I’ve died on many hills.

1. The big hill in my neighborhood park.

2. Capital Hill

I don't really know of any other hills or why I would be near them so if I die on a hill it will probably be one of these.

Size doesn't matter.

My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn't ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.

And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.

And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.

Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.

the good ones

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.

-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.

There are certain things people say that should be banned:

• When saying that you haven't done or seen something in a while, don't say "a minute" instead. I will ask what happened sixty seconds ago and make you a fool.
• When talking about where you live, you don't "stay at", you live at a place.
• And being afraid of the word "moist" makes you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.
• One more, "amaze-balls" and "automagic" are not words and make you sound like a toddler who doesn't want a bath.

Paid refers to money. Payed is a nautical term.

Alphebetizing by the "The" should be a criminal act.

If I do not have or cannot easily get root access to a computer, I don't really own it.

Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.

Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.

Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.

The word Data was originally a plural word, and should be again, for all time

• ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
• We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.

My three operating system hills:

• Windows peaked with 2000 (design-wise) and XP (functionality-wise)
• macOS’ separation of the application vs window concepts — i.e. an app has exactly one menu bar and dock icon, and is expected to be able to stay open without any windows (without needing nonsense like tray icons) — is much better than anything else and it sucks nobody is copying it
• Flatpak and everything related is atrocious architecture-wise in every single way and it’s a massive condemnation of Linux (desktop)’s compatibility state that it actually solves a real problem

• Modern flip phones (e.g. Samsung Fold) are stupid and gimmicky industrial design failures.
• Humans are not good by nature. They are taught to be good but even babies cry and get angry without anyone teaching them.
• The Cat in The Hat movie with Mike Myers was not as bad as critics claim and actually had good undertones patched together with modern humor that is more profound in recent times than when it was originally released. It was actually ahead of its time.
• Apple/MacOS isn't actually a better platform and is only designed to give the impression that it is simpler even though people still have to learn how to use it.
• Adult services should be legal in all countries and the workers involved should get paid with benefits/protections just like everybody else. This is assuming capitalism cannot be removed from the picture.
• VTubers shouldn't be showing their actual bodies. It defeats the purpose of using the moniker in the first place.
• Education should be free without any debt involved. There is legitimately no good reason why education and knowledge should be pay-walled.
• Euthanasia should be legal where the person no longer wishes to subject themselves to failing health is granted control over their body. Forcing such people to keep living is selfish and pertains cruel and unusual.
• Hollywood should not be idolized and is actually part of the problem with things being f'd up rn. There is no good reason why actors or any kind of artist should be making all that money while the rest of society gets by with the scraps we toss around while the rich get richer. The same goes for any kind of celebrity, really. I don't even leave out sports people in this.

This took me twice as long to finish because every other point I ended up with something political. So this is pretty much the least triggering or offensive I can make my list. Good grief.

Owning a pug is animal cruelty

EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.

You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space

I forgot to mention. If you use country balls to explain something I'm not taking you seriously.

Misuse of their there and they're.

American cheese is cheese as much as sausage is meat.

• spelling "catsup" as "ketchup" is as juvenile as spelling "night light" as "nite lite"

• Ohio isn't part of the Midwest

• all of Rory's boyfriends in The Gilmore Girls were terrible, but Logan is the worst

• using a slur "because it's not a bad word in my culture" still isn't okay

Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept

The one with eyes

It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans

I’ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?

Thongs aren't uncomfortable

• Butts >>>>>>> Boobs

• Not doing something considered for women (like cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc) doesn't make you more of a man, it makes you more useless.

• "Separating the art from the author" is mostly an excuse to not feel discomfort or guilt about enjoying a work.

• Nostalgia is only bad if it leads you to unbridled consumerism. Better to use nostalgia to create new things.

• Sonic 3 & Knuckles >>>>>>>>> Sonic Mania
