    D&D is not as good as it is popular. It’s a very idiosyncratic game that’s mostly focused on a particular kind of play, but people treat it like it’s a general purpose tool.

    Clearly people can have fun with it, and that’s what really matters. I’m still convinced many of them would have more, easier, cheaper, fun if they picked up a different game.

    A kilobyte is 1024 bytes. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000 - I don’t care since it’s obvious from context.

    Back in the day, using base-10 prefixes for base-2 stuff was considered fine. 1024 is close enough to 1000, after all. It only changed when some dickhead realised that, by insisting that a kilobyte (and the bigger units) was 1000 bytes, they could sell you less hard drive space without lowering the number on the box.

    If you don’t believe me, look at your RAM. Nobody’s ever sold RAM by the “gibibyte”.

    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.

    I don’t say “bless you” when someone sneezes, because it’s an archaic tradition based on superstitious nonsense.

    People shouldn’t be able to be told what color to paint their house. More people should experiment with wild colors inside and out.

    I wish it was socially acceptable to interest-dump someone and for them to do the same to you.

    Just getting a 5-10 minute lecture deep into a topic that someone is passionate about is fun and educational! Much better than trying to make small talk or talk about the 3 common topics at your workplace (at mine it is local tv, energy spending/taxes, and cars), which is often sports. Then you get to learn about other people’s interests too!

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

    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.

    Quantum leap means the tiniest jump and not at all what it’s (internationally) used for.
