Amen. Yesterday I made a burger that was a scant quarter-pound and holy poo poo I miss small burgers. So many places just make the restaurant version of the greasy, spherical dad burger so laden with sauce and mayo that it inevitably slides right out of the stupid, inadequate bun.

Yesterday I made a burger that was a scant quarter-pound and holy poo poo I miss small burgers. yeah i dunno how this ever became popular, theres a maximum height to a burger: the space between your upper and lower teeth when you fully open your mouth, plus a little that can be squeezed, but in a lot of restaurant burgers the patty alone is bigger than my mouth let alone the other ingredients i also dont think a burger should really be a giant dinner, it's a sandwich, a snack for when you want a relatively light meal thats still filling enough to be considered a full meal and which contains carbs and protein and vegetables. burgers arent even unhealthy if they are a normal size and contain a good balance of ingredients and arent fried to death in oil i suspect it's an issue of economies of scale, a small, high-quality burger is labor intensive to make and requires a lot of stored ingredients that get used little by little, it's easier to just sell a giant gently caress off pile of poo poo for more money

I usually get a black bean burger at the bar I used to go to since their regular burger, while good, was waaaay too big. Veggie burgers tend to be immune to the insane size escalation. Plus they made their own black bean burgers and there was curry and whatnot in there, it was amazing.

If your burger is served on an actual plate, you're probably getting ripped off. Burgers are casual meals that should be treated as such. If a restaurant does put your burger on a plate, you can recoup your losses by dumping the contents of the plate on to the table and making a huge mess for someone to clean up. This probably only works once per establishment, though.

I can't think of a way to phrase this without sounding like a dick, so I'll just say I don't mean to sound like a dick. If I can't fit my mouth around a burger, I just take more bites. Some from the top, then some from the bottom. I don't get why it's a dealbreaker for some. I'm a small enough person that a $12 giant burger can be 2-3 days worth of food for me, so I'm all for this trend.

I hate it when companies or institutions try to incentivize you to look for information on their websites or other resources when the information there isn't even close to being up to date. Hiding their customer service number behind several links and a bunch of disclaimers. I wanted to book a room for 4-5 people at a library and it is not a given these days that those are open, so it's really frustrating to get "Have you checked our website for...." for every place I call in when none of their local websites makes it clear that most of them are closed (Due to corona). No one is taking the time to correct information on their website, rendering it completely useless. I don't want to call customer service just to be bothersome, but I will if that is the only way to be sure I am receiving the correct information.

Boomers love to get huge meals for cheap, so the bigger the burger the better the deal.

The more I see it the more I get annoyed. His or her, his or her, he or she, his or her. Forever, at some point it really started bugging me and it's only gotten more annoying. I've been playing some rpgs lately, but that's really not the only place it comes up. Why the gently caress are people so insanely against using they and their, when they reference an unknown person? Spell descriptions, class descriptions, conversations, every-loving-thing. Occasionally they'll use a specific gender in an almost arbitrary fashion, because again, they just cannot loving use 'they/them'. Slap open a class description, like say, Paladins from DnD 5e and bam: ' Almost by definition, the life of a paladin is an adventuring life. Unless a lasting injury has taken him or her away from adventuring for a time, every paladin lives on the front lines of the cosmic struggle against evil. ' It's almost constant, and I don't understand why people keep using 3 words when they can just use 1. Is it just some banal preference? I very much doubt that years-old games do it just to be contrary against current gender politics, but it's just so loving cludgy. It's so loving banal, are people taught only to use they/them as a plural pronoun, or something? (Sorry in advance to anyone else who is going to get peeved by how loving constantly people use 'he or she' instead of they.)

In rpg books in particular I see writers switching arbitrarily between pronouns every sentence or paragraph. I really wish they’d just they, wish as a bonus is MORE inclusive anyway.

I have two computer mouses. One, the middle mouse button (i.e. pressing the scroll wheel) doesn't work on about 1 out of 3 clicks. The other, the middle mouse button double-clicks on about 1 out of 3 clicks. Why do middle mouse buttons suck so hard?

I know this is probably preaching to the choir but it really, really bothers me how long it takes to get coverage approval for procedures and medicine through the US healthcare system. It's not even the fact it takes a while that bugs me, rather the complete lack of action I can take to speed things up. There's no number for me to call, nobody to talk to about my case, no one to email. Nobody to give more information or medical records to. No website to visit, a portal that won't show me determinations in progress, and so on. I can call the doctor who ordered the procedure and ask them to put the screws to em but there's no guarantee that'll have any effect at all. There's literally nothing I can do but sit here in ever-increasing amounts of pain and unrest while some random computer system spends three weeks deciding whether or not it's ok for me to get a CT scan and sonogram on their dime. It just ain't fair, man. Private companies shouldn't ever under any circumstance hold my life and health in their hands, not even for a second. CJacobs has a new favorite as of 09:00 on Jul 7, 2020 |

Although, I posit that it makes sense to use gendered pronouns if you're describing an interaction between two players, simply to make it a bit easier to follow.

I was reading a self-help book and every single sentence was about how, "it helps him or her to know what he or she is getting into, so he or she can make the right choices for his or her life." I mean, I was also taught "they/them is only plural" in high school, but I think it's well past time to just let that one go. It feels a little dirty to complain about this though, because I remember when I started to notice the shift from using "he" in every example to occasionally using "she" instead, and that made me happy. But it's just obnoxious to feel the need to cover all your bases 4 times in the same sentence.

As a rule in english, any grammar rule that literate, native speakers routinely break and think "uh, this looks fine?" is almost guaranteed to be dumb poo poo from the past couple centuries that was prescribed to make english more similar to latin and to modern romance languages. See: "to boldly go" and similar being wrong. In latin and french (and I assume the other romance languages but I don't know) this is impossible because infinitives are one word. Ire/aller/to go. "Don't split infinitives." Because, according to victorian assholes, you literally can't in latin, and latin should be good enough for us. But see english doesn't work like that. Our infinitives come in two parts. We can boldy go, even in the infinitive. See also: the prepositions we "can't" end sentences with. Brawnfire posted:People need "one" If we're bringing that into casual conversation can we also re-formalize and codify the split between thou, you, and y'all?

when anything to do with a woman's body is symbolized by a pair of fingers making a heart shape, like this: i kind of get it if it's done as a visual euphemism for a vagina, because it's a reproductive organ and you can't just slap it on a bottle of ointment, but this was from an article about breasts (i'm a man i was just reading it out of curiosity) why a heart? is it because women are inherently more loving? that's pretty sexist to begin with. it also just looks stupid

It is pretty funny the way some advertisements will get around the US' puritanical mortal fear of mentioning the genitals or anything near them. Like that one commercial with a woman walking by a hedgerow all confident and smiling and the bushes get trimmed as she passes by - it's like the commercial's creator is nudging you with their elbow going 'eeeehhh? Geddit??'
