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.

It's most useful because it's popular. I can travel to the other side of the country, find a local game shop, and sit down at a group and have a shared understanding of the rules.

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!

Yeah, it's hard having ADHD and not be able to be enthusiastic about stuff without people thinking you're weird. I don't want to talk about boring shit you're "supposed to" talk about.

When was the last time you walked into a Waffle House at 3am on a Saturday night?

You're talking big shit for someone who doesn't even own his own meth pipe.

It's "by accident" not "on accident", you uneducated fools.

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

Pineapple on pizza is fine. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it.

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.

[-] rockandsock@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Bang for buck the burger is superior. I've had a few steaks that were much better than a burger but were all anniversary dinner $$$ and not priced in a way that I'd be willing to eat like that on a regular basis.

Decimate means 1/10th destroyed, lost, whatever. I don't care that the dictionary says that meaning is obsolete. I get that the meaning of words changes over time, but it has the prefix deci. 1/10th. You don't get to decide something that starts with 1/10th means near total even if it's a scary sounding word.

This is my anthill and I'm dying here.

Oranges are the worst kind of orange. They taste quite good, but if I need to use tools to eat it, I want something at least as good as a grapefruit.

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".

Horsepower is a stupid way to measure how powerful a car is. What is this the 1800s?

[-] Maven@piefed.blahaj.zone 17 points 3 days ago

Its not even accurate to its name! Horses have more than 1 horse power!

Many programming languages allow "trailing commas":

my_list = [ 1, 2, 3, ]

This is wonderful because you can treat the last element like the previous ones instead of having to make an exception. I use it all the time, even when it provides no benefit, and I think we should even start allowing it in natural language.
