    For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.

    Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑

    If you’ve never worked on a holiday you shouldn’t be allowed to go to stores and restaurants on holidays.

    American servers: clear the table when everyone is done. Not before.

    And don’t ask me if I am still working on it while I am eating. I am not “working on it” to finish my lunch.

    Steak is overrated. I’d take a smash burger over a steak 9 times out of 10, and that 1 time out of 10 will just be because I’m in the mood for peppercorn sauce.

    If asked how you are:

    You are doing well. Not good. If you really are doing good, it’s an active thing that makes a difference.

    Otherwise, you are doing well.

    The word “utilize” should almost always be changed to “use”.

    And, people who cannot sing should not sing on stage.

    Island has an ‘s’ in it. This was started as a stylistic choice to make the word look more Latin despite the fact that the English word has no Latin roots.

    This is proof enough that English is a stupid language for the unwashed masses. There are no rules, all that matters is how it is used and understood. Anyone who tries argue that “literally can not mean figuratively” or that gif has to be pronouced a specific way is an idiot trying to force logic into a system that has none. Don’t waste your time trying to explain that you know the only true and proper rules to Calvinball.

    That ‘s,’ that’s what broke me.

    Pokemon is a wild [insert word here] for IRL hunting which I do not condone. It’s literally the same premise just with cutesy characters and PG story line so that kids can become desensitized to the concept.

    “Steep learning curve” means quick to learn, not difficult. The curve is learning over time. If the curve is steep there is much learning over short time.

    Doesn’t mean easy nor hard, just quick.

      I am here for this battle, I will die on this hill.

      Jalapeño, Pineapple and Pepperoni … Spicy, Sweet and Savory

      It is a great blend of flavors across the palate.

      I prefer to have the pineapples drained/squeezed a bit before adding to the pizza as it helps to caramelize the sugars in the pineapple. The oven has to boil off all that liquid before it can start doing so. Also all that excess pineapple juice will be drawn out first before boiling off which can make the dough soggy if you don’t allow it enough time in the oven.

      But also, who cares in the grand scheme of things… pizza is great without pineapple too.

    Saying “bless you” for sneezing is the most bothersome human interaction (to me) that serves literally no purpose but people pretend that it does to justify doing it out of habit. And, oh boy, have I gotten so much shit for it.
