Other people’s lives. I don’t get why how other people live bother people. If they like the same sex, go for it. If they like to dress up as a goat on the weekend? Ok, cool. It’s your life, do what you want with it.
I mean, yes, but I’d add the qualifier “so long as it doesn’t impact others”. If you want to dump your trash in a communal area, it’s imo a bit too easy to say that it’s a free country and who am I to tell you not to do that. Maybe this sounds too obvious to spell out (to me it would have until recently) but I recently met two persons in unrelated places who really felt that nobody should tell them what to do because they didn’t tell anyone else what to do either. As if we don’t all share resources on this planet
Yeah, I should’ve said that as well. So long as you’re not causing harm to others, do what you want, like what you like, be who you want to be.
People putting pineapple on their pizza.
Whatever man. Some people like opera music. Some people like golden showers. And some people like putting pineapple on their pizza. Can’t we all just get along?
Pineapple on pizza. I don’t care. I don’t order it, but will eat it and not complain if served it.
Eating Asian food using forks. Preparing meat well-done. Cutting pasta with a knife. Using cutlery when eating pizza. Basically everything that people say has a “right way” of eating. What difference does it make to you if you’re not the one eating?
Once you’ve seen kids try to eat soup with their hands, you’ll start enforcing stupid rules too. On one hand, I don’t care in the slightest about ‘etiquette’ but God help me, stop using your offhand to shovel pasta into a spoon and then dropping half of it. Sit up straight, utensil over your plate and put your utensil down when you’re not using it.
But, like, put pineapple on pizza and enjoy your steak how you want it.
whether people where Crocs in public or not.
Literally any topic on which I have little to no knowledge. I can’t have an opinion on a topic I barely know exists.
Opinions? I prefer to call them facts!
The culture wars shit that ya see on social media
People’s taste in food. Like pinapple on 0zza? Cool, like ketchup on porkchops? Ok. Don’t like spicey foods? All good.
Same for me. Once I attended a chocolate workshop with this guy who was like a chocolate expert/connoisseur, and he started by saying “The best chocolate is the one you like.”
Coke, Pepsi and most all cola flavored things don’t taste different enough to matter.
Except Diet Coke. Attempt to landing there.
Music fidelity, as long as I can hear it, idgaf about the quality of the speakers.
This is more a diminishing return issue if you ask me. There are absolutely people driving around blasting from blown speakers. Most of the time though, the freebie headphones and mp3 are fine.
same. i have friends who spend hundreds of euros of fancy headphones, even more on a speaker setup, get high fidelity versions of the tracks etc. while i’m completely vibing to free earbuds that came with the phone and youtube mp3 downloads
Very strange take. How about TV quality?
The same I guess, as long as I can read subtitles and see their faces.
I really, truly, deeply envy you and wish I could say the same.
what other people eat
i cannot imagine being so tedious that i give a shit that some rando likes to put dr pepper in their mayonnaise or whatever
I put a splash of cola flavored soda in my mac and cheese.
Seeing as we’re on lemmy and I’m sure other people here hold very strong opinions on these things:
- terminals
- text editors
I really don’t understand why people get so fixated on these things. Can I type in it, and they do the thing? 10/10 no notes.
Happy enough w/ most terminal emulators, but with Vim, it’s not hard finding programs for just about anything that mimic the keybind philosophy and I can keep my mits on the homerow where (i feel) they belong.
For me it’s muscle memory. I’ve grown used to all sorts of features and shortcuts over time and I can work faster when I can use them freely without thinking about it. If I switch tools I need to adjust to everything that is different about it and that takes time - and I can’t really develop muscle memory for two different tools, I need to forget one to get used to another.
As a quick example: I’ve been using alt+arrow for two decades to navigate between individual words within variable names in camelCase. Every text editor I’ve used over time supported this as the OS itself implements it. Then comes VSCode with its own implementation overriding this and removing this capacity and then every time I need to navigate between words I’ll either have to use a mouse, move one character at a time or even worse: press this shortcut I’m used to and trigger some other feature that is assigned to it that I didn’t want to trigger.
The Beatles. They’re fine. Just fine.
They are fine now that a million other bands copied what they were doing and tried their best to improve on their formula. The fact their music is still fine today means it must have been out of this world back then.
(I personally don’t enjoy their music at all though)
Who or what is “the best” of something. Any genre I can think of: Sports, art, food, engineering, design, whatever. Or I guess I kind of do, if you have some wild take that I don’t understand at all, but the discussions where people are like “lebron or kobe?” or “poe or shakesspeare?” I just do not get. “What’s the best anime?” eh. There’s no best of anything, it’s all just a matter of definition.
Hockey is the best sport.
Sure
