Man, I get so irritated by people saying a cat is a loaf when you can quite plainly see both forepaws! If you can see the forepaws, it's either a sphinx (the paws are stretched out) or a crouch (if the paws are planted). It's only a loaf if the forepaws are folded inwards so you can't see them.
A sphinx is an attentive pose. A crouch means the cat is irritated or waiting for something. Only a loaf is truly a loafing cat.

Another rant, but whichever idiot designed the SIM card slots on modern phones… I loathe you and your ‘work’. There’s no reason this shouldn’t be as easy to change as an SD card or USB device.

God, anyone else hate when shops just move everything around? Had that happen to my local supermarket a few weeks ago, and I still lose track of where everything is.
If they think it’s getting me to buy more/different products, they’re very wrong on that count. It’s just making it harder for me to find things to try…

I will never stop believing that "based off of" is just stupid. "Based on" makes sense: something depends on, or stems from, something else, like you're putting it ON a base. "Based off of" was invented by some kid in 1993 who just couldn't stand to wear his hat like his dad, or to use functional phrases. He probably grew up and convinced businessfolks to use "ask" as a noun.

Self-checkout is the beginning of the free labour plan of corporations to enslave their customers in a bid to maximise already maximised profits. It's also an insidious way to negate the idea that the customer is always right, as the customers need to be pulled out of the normal checkout to populate the dystopian forced labour terminals.

All the different Tyson chicken products are the same: Pork, turkey and chicken, just pressed in a different mold

From my wife
They are adding so many chemicals to food to simulate it being browned in the microwave, that when you cook something the non-microwavable way, it is horrible.
