Your way of doing things is now how things must be done. Extra points for petty and minor stuff.
All you authors, columnists, and other motherfuckers not using the Oxford comma are now in big trouble.
This could’ve been a delightful meta joke, and I was disappointed to see that it wasn’t.

Tabs are better than spaces
- presses tab to add space between words
- changes field
i,don’t,think,that’ll,work
As long as a tab is just 4 spaces
Tabs are a totally different thing with completely different properties than any particular number of spaces.
If you are thinking of tabs in terms of how many spaces they are, you are doing tabs wrong.
A tab is really a jump to a specific measurement that you set. That most word processors have tab stops automatically every half inch has only helped train people to not understand tabs.

Smoking joints is now illegal. Everyone must use a battery-free vaporiser.

Pink lemonade is better than regular.

Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else’s problem for enforcing stupid work hours.
I vote for metric time
I can get behind most of these, but:
Trackpad > Mouse
I think you have a typo, surely you meant “trackball > mouse”. Obviouly trackpads are abomnations that have no place in polite company, so you couldn’t have meant them.
Caffeine is now illegal. Force yourself to stay awake and make it everyone else’s problem for enforcing stupid work hours.
You know not what you say, there are strict rules about not letting me interact with other humans before caffeine. That Geneva Convention has things to say about it.
I’ve been open to trying a trackball, and I definitely like the fact that it’s stationary. For the purpose of gaming, the trackball does have a chance at replacing a mouse for me. I prefer thumb flicks, like on controllers, compared to mouse movement.
I’ve been fortunate enough to use a trackpad on macOS, which works very well for a wide variety of reasons. It’s not for gaming, though, unless you want to pull a Wii and treat the trackpad as its own controller, with gimmicks.
I prefer thumb flicks, like on controllers, compared to mouse movement.
I definitely prefer trackballs to mice, but you do need to find the right one to suit your hand size, shale and your prefered way of using them. I prefer to use my first finger, rather than thumb and was wondering why so many are designed for thumb, but I think you’ve just answered my question by comparing them to controllers.
The slightly awkward thing with trackballs in general is the ball. You’re going back to the good old days of a physical ball with dust and general gunk getting stuck on the bearings. They’re easy to clean, but compared to optical mice it can be annoying.
Why do people buy stuff they don’t need because they saw it on an ad? You know it’s bad in every way, if you don’t need it, don’t buy it.
Everyone’s self employed and stops complaining about their boss
About to be my first full year next month. Among the best decisions of my life - so far.
When I was self employed my boss was terrible. He’d make me stop working to jerk me off like ten times a day
I’m gonna complain even more, I won’t do what that idiot tells me
Everyone hates “normies” and likes drawing
Your way is now the right way.
My way was always the right way!
But now it’s official.
Everything, but in too many small ways for me to list. You just keep going, and I’ll let you know when you mess up.
I changed my mind actually. I’ll just do it; it’ll be easier for both of us.
I’m right-handed when using one handed tools and “left-handed” when using two handed tools like axes and shovels. The hand closer to the tool bit (the left hand in my case) is only there to provide support and slide around as the other hand controls the orientation and motion of the tool.
I declare my way is truly right-handed while these right-hand-in-front-of-the-left-handers are just ambidextrous pretenders
I thought of this while pre-cutting the base of a plastic bottle cap with a knife so that, when I unscrew it, it comes off cleanly - like they used to - without sticking to the bottle or leaving behind sharp, poking bits. This is a thing in the EU nowdays, and obviously, this is the correct way to open them from now on.
Okay, now that one’s petty. Mostly because I like when either of those things happens. If it sticks to the bottle it’s like having one of those skinny bottle top rubber thingies to hold it on, and if the edges are sharp and pokey I get to feel them on my lips.
The proper spelling is indeed Rebekah. Also, chili is eaten over rice or mashed potatoes and always has beans. All cats have an infinite amount of names, none of which they respond to and most of which are very situational.
I had a crush on a Rebekah once. It was during music clinic.
- No opinion, so OK
- Criminal, and also a sign that someone has never had Cincinnati Chili
- Truth
I’ve had cincinnati chili, and guess what? I’d still eat it over mashed potatoes But, ah! It’s okay to eat food wrong. That is always fine.
No. No, over mashed potatoes I think it’d be fantastic. I’ve probably eaten it that way myself. But didn’t you say something about rice? Rice would be an abomination. Like, almost as bad as not putting pineapple on your pizza.
I said mashed potatoes or rice! A choice!
Ok, sounds good!
Cincinnati Chili
I’ve never had Cincinnati Chili but would like to. Point a fella at a decent recipe?
It’s mainly just an all-meat chili with a lot of seasonings, but not necessarily a lot of spice. Like, it has chocolate in it - not sweet chocolate, but the powder without sugar. And cinnamon.
We discovered it when we were doing a low carb diet, because it has no carbs in it. But it’s one of our favorites. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite chili of all time, but is among my favorite dishes, if you get what I mean. I do like a chili with beans.
I couldn’t find the online original; we may have copied it out of a book. Here’s a PDF version of the recipe we like. We used to have it over spaghetti squash.
Nice one, thank you!
Chili with cornbread is phenominal. Never had it growing up in the US Midwest, but moved south and fell in love. Still make it now on the other side of the globe. Rice isn’t my favorite and potatoes wouldn’t be my first choice, but chili is basically just a curry in the modern sense anyway for most recipes so that makes sense.
I normally would have balked at the mashed potatoes suggestion, but I made a 13 bean soup with a creamy potato base recently and then I made chili with the leftovers and it was godly.
a 13 bean soup
Just a small portion then?
Chili over rice—esp. something with more flavor, like Jasmine rice–is pretty good, TBH. I always put beans in my chili, because I know that every time I do it, a Texan dies.
And yeah, that’s pretty much the way cats are now, so, no change.
Extra points for petty, minor things.
Fine.

Your way is now the right way.
Oh well, but it is my way.
Even numbers are so six-a-dozen.
Only using even numbers for volume or brightness.
Can 5 be an honorary even number?
Fine, those are okay. But I still prefer 16 over 15.
How do you turn it up to 11?
For close to 20 years now my wife and I have bought twin sized flat sheets and blankets for our king bed. We’re both blanket hogs and now we get to be by not sharing. People used to look at us like we were crazy when we mentioned it, but I hear more and more people doing it and even saw and article calling it the “Scandinavian method” or something else pretentious sounding.
We’ve been doing it so long I feel like we invented it, even though that’s a silly idea. But I am half Scandi so, you know, maybe it was named after me.
As a Finn, “scandinavian method” sound hilarious, though technically we’re not part of Scandinavia. And yea, ofcourse people have their own blankets. You don’t share a pillow either …right?
Honorary Scandinavians though, right?
Sent from under a separate sheet/duvet, in Denmark
Why not get two sets of king size? I mean twin sized blankets are too small for adults in my opinion. Especially during winter.
Twin size are plenty big for my 350lb frame to cocoon up in. King sized blankets are 7 feet wide.
