For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.
There are three drinks you can call a martini:
- A martini is gin and vermouth, maybe with some bitters if you like
- A vodka martini is vodka and vermouth, bitters again optional
- A vesper martini is gin, vodka, and lillet blanc
- Any of the above can be made “dirty” with olive brine if you want
Anything else is a cocktail in a martini glass. No shade if you like apple schnapps, lemon juice, and vodka, drink what you like, but it’s not a martini.
The original 151 Pokemon had just as many bland, poor, and lazy designs as any generation since (and legitimately good designs, dont get me wrong) and anyone claiming the ice cream cone is automatically worse than ‘pile of goo that becomes bigger pile of goo’ is just talking through nostalgia
I think “pile of goo that becomes a bigger pile of goo” does seem a lot more plausible than a literal ice cream cone. I’d take more issue with the self-destructing pokeball pokemon, Voltorb. What kind of evolutionary mechanism brought that on?
Taking one for the whole of the species. Say everyone is getting tamed by humans. But if some member explodes themselves, then humans may stop trying to catch the rest. It’s like a monarch butterfly having a horrible taste. A bird eats one, and ignores the rest because of the bad experience.
The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.
I loathe tomatoes on burgers and will throw it in your face if you serve it to me.
Absolutely pointless taste wise and all that water is what makes the bread and patty move around with no respect for each other.
Ooooh them’s fighting words. Have you tried a burger with a homegrown tomato? Pretty night and day, might just change your mind.

This is more of a meta thing, but relevant to a lot of comments I’m seeing here. Having an opinion about pineapple on pizza is the most uninteresting cultural phenomenon. I’ve spent the last 4 years on dating apps, and at least 1 in 3 people write in their bio about this “issue”. It’s not something that people truly have strong feelings about, it’s like straight men saying Ryan Reynolds is attractive, or people arguing over the definition of a sandwich. It’s an opinion that people hold as a proxy for being somebody with strong opinions.
