Pineapple Does Belong On Pizza
Having Kids Isn’t For Everyone
There’s Nothing Wrong With Enjoying Fast Food
As long as it's not all you eat, sure, have the occasional hamburger/pizza/fried chicken and enjoy it.
Being Good At School Doesn’t Mean You’re Smart
Much of school consists of studying, memorizing and following instructions. It's very indoctrinated. Leaves little room for creative exploration, theory constructs and self-discovery. If you're able to produce anything off-curriculum it's not accounted for in marks.
Mayo Is Actually Amazing
Not the bottled stuff. Some restaurants make it fresh and that is awesome
Streaming Services Have Made TV Series Worse
Prunes Are Delicious, And Everyone Should Eat Them
People Demonize Sugar Too Much
Excessive sugar, yes, but I'd rather have pure sugar than sickly chemical additives.
Listening To An Audiobook Doesn’t Mean You’ve Read The Book
This one's kinda ableist. What if you're blind and prefer not to use Braille?
Winter Is Only Good For The First Two Weeks
I hate winter. But then I have seasonal affective disorder or whatever it's called. Winter weather makes me depressed and lethargic.
People Romanticize About The '90s Too Much
Just wait until the end of this year (assuming we even make it), people will be even be looking back fondly on 2020

We need a car tree air freshener with "old bookstore scent". E-books are convenient, but you can't beat the musty smell of old books,
Reading Books Is Not Inherently Superior To Watching Movies

If You’re Making Tea, Using A Microwave Is Better Than Using A Kettle
I once suggested to my American friend we could microwave the s'mores instead of building a fire, he looked like he wanted to build a fire just to burn me alive. This is the same thing to the British when you suggest microwaving water for tea.
American Football Is The Most Cerebral Team Sport In The World
Celebrity News Is Actually Interesting And Entertaining
Celebrity news is something I despise, and I despise very few things. Why do the news outlets believe that I should care about who a songwriter’s boyfriend is, or who said what to someone else that has a lot of money? It’s pointless, it has no impact on my life whatsoever, and it’s mediocre entertainment at best.

Load More Replies...I don’t like pineapple on pizza ‘cause I don’t like pineapple, do I have an issue with you liking it on pizza? Nope, it’s your pizza. I read books, I love reading but do I think audio listeners are getting less? No, I’m just glad folk are consuming literature one way or another, reading isn’t always accessible for some people. And so on and so forth. Your choices that don’t control my choices are fine and dandy.
