You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space

My three operating system hills:

• Windows peaked with 2000 (design-wise) and XP (functionality-wise)
• macOS’ separation of the application vs window concepts — i.e. an app has exactly one menu bar and dock icon, and is expected to be able to stay open without any windows (without needing nonsense like tray icons) — is much better than anything else and it sucks nobody is copying it
• Flatpak and everything related is atrocious architecture-wise in every single way and it’s a massive condemnation of Linux (desktop)’s compatibility state that it actually solves a real problem

As an egalitarian, I’ve died on many hills.

• Modern flip phones (e.g. Samsung Fold) are stupid and gimmicky industrial design failures.
• Humans are not good by nature. They are taught to be good but even babies cry and get angry without anyone teaching them.
• The Cat in The Hat movie with Mike Myers was not as bad as critics claim and actually had good undertones patched together with modern humor that is more profound in recent times than when it was originally released. It was actually ahead of its time.
• Apple/MacOS isn't actually a better platform and is only designed to give the impression that it is simpler even though people still have to learn how to use it.
• Adult services should be legal in all countries and the workers involved should get paid with benefits/protections just like everybody else. This is assuming capitalism cannot be removed from the picture.
• VTubers shouldn't be showing their actual bodies. It defeats the purpose of using the moniker in the first place.
• Education should be free without any debt involved. There is legitimately no good reason why education and knowledge should be pay-walled.
• Euthanasia should be legal where the person no longer wishes to subject themselves to failing health is granted control over their body. Forcing such people to keep living is selfish and pertains cruel and unusual.
• Hollywood should not be idolized and is actually part of the problem with things being f'd up rn. There is no good reason why actors or any kind of artist should be making all that money while the rest of society gets by with the scraps we toss around while the rich get richer. The same goes for any kind of celebrity, really. I don't even leave out sports people in this.

This took me twice as long to finish because every other point I ended up with something political. So this is pretty much the least triggering or offensive I can make my list. Good grief.

I forgot to mention. If you use country balls to explain something I'm not taking you seriously.

. No matter how intelligent a person is, they can still make the simplest mistakes for their entire lives, because they stick by of what they've learned and die on that hill.

. Black holes will be proven to not exist. And in the list of cosmological errors, that's the most obvious one. [edit] What people are observing, at least for the "stellar sized black holes", are UV/X-ray/Gamma ray stars, much like there are red stars and blue stars. [/edit]

. For what it implies, Star Trek is far more evil than Star Wars despite all the anti-war rhetoric and perpetual war of the latter, as the former implies "Marx was wrong, Fourier was right. We CAN have a socialist utopia quietly evolved from an empire that began as a group of slave owners on stolen land with the flag of an oligarchic spice and slave trade corporation, who decided that a small sales tax, where most countries have VAT, on a single good, one that turns hot water into a tasty drink, was theft and so they decided that "this means war" and called for independence. Then a few decades later they created a manifesto saying that half the continent and more is simply theirs because they're so exceptional. The empire with the two-party system to ensure the purest form of kleptocracy, an ingenious way to silence dissent and perpetual struggle, moreso than any dictatorship empire has tried in the past.
The continuation of THIS empire, the empire of deception, is the one taking over the galaxy, destined to seize the entire universe because they're so enlightened as said by one of the gods in the Star Trek universe." And no, STD and Picard doesn't do it any justice. Star Trek doesn't tell why the Federation is or isn't progressive. At least Star Wars explained how the Republic collapsed as a queen appointed a harebrained mudskipper to be her representitive in case she was absent, who then got manipulated into giving a tyrant unchecked power.

Misuse of their there and they're.

The hill upto the finishline on my local park run this morning was way harder than usual, so (almost) that one today!

American cheese is cheese as much as sausage is meat.

It is possible to crossdress/be gender non-conforming without being trans

I’ve never heard anyone suggest otherwise. Who are you having this argument with?
