Ok, I don't like making generalizations, but let's play the game:

• Dynamically typed programming languages are for babies.

• Having depression is not being sad. Having anxiety is not being nervous. Mental health exists and it's very complex.

• We should start trating unhealthy use of social media as an actual addiction, and the platforms should be held accountable for the damage they have and still are causing.

• Sometimes older people have actual knowledge and wisdom that is only gained by experiencing life, and younger people shuld learn to shut the fuck up some times and stop pretending they were born knowing everything.

Data is pronounced data and not data.

You should have to get a special license to drive something as big as a modern pickup truck.

And you should have to have a justifiable reason to buy and own one.

And there should be restrictions on where they can be driven.

Basically most people shouldn't have pickup trucks.

Alphebetizing by the "The" should be a criminal act.

If I do not have or cannot easily get root access to a computer, I don't really own it.

Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad.

The word Data was originally a plural word, and should be again, for all time

• ISO 8601 (e.g., 2025-05-23) are the only correct date formats.
• We should stop using time zones and daylight saving.

12 hour time is an inferior standard, and we should be on 24 hour time so developers don't ever default to 12 hour time. Way too many instances of mission critical things getting swapped on am/pm by mistake. That is never a problem with 24h time.

Dampening is making things wet. Damping is reducing oscillations in something.

Every time I hear or read people using them interchangeably is infuriating.

There needs to be a mandatory parenting training course if you're expecting a child.

Religion needs to be taken out of the government completely

Owning a pug is animal cruelty

EDIT: adding bulldogs and other snub-nosed pets that wouldn’t exist without selective breeding by humans.

Apple products aren't any better than anything else, it's just marketing and branding. They're like the Starbucks of computers.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

Phones have become boring and are all the same. I want options like we had with Nokia back in the day. So a music phone, gaming phone, business phone etc. but with a modern OS. All we have now are camera phones. Google announcing that they've added a second possible function to The Button in settings just doesn't excite me. Smartphones have become shit and it's not because we've perfected them or some shit, it's because chasing lines on marketing graphs and playing follow the leader has resulted in no choice anymore and everything being lowest common denominator, mass produced slop.

Summer is a crappy season, fall is superior.

You should use your blinker when turning into a parking space

People on Lemmy aren't "normal" people and shouldn't use their personal views as the norm.

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

I disagree vehemently with one of these and I thought it might make a fun little mystery, but on second thought I'll just state up front it's the Monty Python one.

-Businesses should be run by people who are passionate about the giving a great product and/or service and not some shitty MBA who only except 10x return on his investment.

Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.

In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I'm allowed more wfh.

Not only is Gacha a bad game monetization from a consumers perspective, the moment it's implemented the game is shit, and you should be ashamed to play it.

I dont care about Genshin's cultural impact, Fortnite's mechanical depth or how hot the latest team fortress character is, you should always have the thought of supporting the indefensible in the back of your head while playing them and consider it a guilty pleasure. Meaning: keep your damn pulls to yourself!

And since I used to say it too: "You can absolutely play without paying money" isn't an argument when you need to pay with time instead, doing dailies is a chore, not leisure.
