    Binary prefixes are stupid and unnecessary. Yes, I know “kilo” means 1000, not 1024, I don’t care because it’s obvious from context. RAM manufacturers know what’s up - I’ve never seen the word “gibibyte” or “GiB” written on a stick of RAM.

    I also hate these stupid bandwagon pet peeves:

    Pineapple on pizza is great and if you disagree you don’t have to eat it.

    There’s nothing inherently gross about the word “moist”.

    Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter at all.

      I was with you until the last one. Anyone who doesn’t put their toilet paper in the holder vertically is an idiot.

        i was going to tell you to close the damn door, but then i remembered how i open doors for the stupid cat even when there is a cat flap he can use. and the other cat has figured out door handles so we had to put knobs on the exterior doors.
