I would like to abolish subscription fees for most items that really shouldn’t have subscription fees. If you bought the item, it should be yours. That’s the point of buying the item.
I think if you buy something, and you modify it to provide subscription services without being subscribed, it should be legal.
Example, that stupid Mercedes where they charge a fee for the heated seats. If you flash your own software on the car that allows heated seats, it should totally be legal to do so.
Yeah, the crap car companies are pushing is dangerous. Imagine not being allowed to modify the software on your phone or computer. They are essentially arguing that.

Children in breweries. Fine, fine at least keeping the sanctity of 21 and over areas of breweries. When did breweries become a family affair? How come every place has to become a family friendly place, why can't we have just a few adults only places?
No matter what I get some child screaming while I'm trying to enjoy a beer. And every parent will say "well where are they supposed to go" and my answer is always "literally anywhere else". Everywhere is okay with kids. And then others will say "well mine are great" which I would say I don't care, but other parents don't care and ruin it for the rest. So if I got to abolish anything, it's be kids in breweries.
Yes!
I do not understand children in breweries. It seems like irresponsible parenting to me. Taking your kid with you to a place not meant for them, while you drink, and then getting into your car and driving your kid home after?
Just go have a beer at home ffs, and don't subject me to your kid running around like a... Kid.
Then they argue that they have a right to go out don't they? Which I say sure! But then you decided to have kids, so now you need to find someone to watch them. Instead they insist they belong in adult only venues
We have this arcade/bar that was designed for and advertised as a place for adults. There are like 5 other arcade places nearby that are advertised as family friendly. And yet, they keep bringing their kids to the arcade bar. Why. Just why.
A bunch of bachelorettes with their penis straws and hats with SLUT in LEDs were having a fun time in the corner while some parents with their 8yo kids running circles around their table were also at the same brewery. Random guy in a trench coat with his giant dog. Nerd on his apple laptop.
Nobody was acting a fool or making a scene. But it was a strange moment.
Eh - I thought dash was a pretty reasonable symbol for "There's a contraction here" I don't really care about the actual symbol as long as we stop using the same symbol for contractions and possessives. In my sample It-s would currently be written It's and the it's (a possessive) would be its if that's what you're asking.
Possessives always get an apostrophe outside of weird exceptions where they clash with contractions. I'm proposing we fix that. Also - let's bring back mass possessions like "At the bake sale Moms' baked goods are always delicious"
It's just a matter of taste I guess. But now I've given it a thought and I honestly don't get it, you want to replace the apostrophe because it has two uses (three if you count that some people like myself use it as quotes as well) with the hyphen that has many more uses like compound words, prefixes, ranges, dates, divided words at the end of a line...
So an n-dash? Which is arguably indistinguishable from a hyphen unless you put them together, so most people just use hyphens. Or another dash-like character in between?
I mean to each their own, if you like it you like it. I'm not saying your way is bad or worse, I'm just a nerd who also likes to use punctuation in a peculiar and personal way. Just to be clear that this is a light-hearted conversation and not a 'yOu aRE WroNg!' kinda thing. :)
"Its" is much easier to remember as possessive if you understand it's a possessive pronoun, like his, hers, ours, and theirs. No apostrophes in any of them.
I don't understand what you're saying about "mass" possessives. That never went away, except for people's who don't know how to do it correctly.
To be honest I think we could just ditch the apostrophe in contractions altogether. I cant think of a situation in which itd make anything less clear. At worst there are perhaps uses of the fairly rare non-contraction verb "cant" that wouldn't be immediately clear

Totally. Whole businesses have sprung up for running and monetizing them. Check into Ghost, WordPress and WooCommerce, Memberful. Lots of other options.
I don't understand why they don't just have a foot pedal to activate those things. You could make an argument for handicapped people, but you could just have one sink use conventional knobs.
News outlets taking quotes from company PR/employees and including them alongside facts about reality. "Company x does something horrible, here is the data. Meanwhile, the CEO says it's inaccurate because bs reasonexcuse.". So much of corporate media is this, we've nearly lost the expectation a news outlet have any sense of responsibility outside of an easy quote from the paid company representative. Every single employee quote should come with footer "but of course this person does pay their mortgage based on saying whatever the companies needs it to to continue doing what benefits it the most so this is idiotically biased".
You can't have one story anymore. You need to turn it into like 20 stories. Which means that one story, but the perspective of every single other person. The CEO, the Janitor, Ja Rule, everyone.
Nothing so crude. I simply think it’s better for the universe if we don’t propagate it, because we’re not a good enough example for other species to follow yet.

My comment simply suggests I don’t have confidence we ever will be. This has nothing to do with the Amish belief that we’re better in a simplistic state; just that the universe is better without us in whatever state.

You're correct that it's not grammatically wrong, but a subtle semantic mis-match. Let's bring in the difference between "every time" and "whenever". While "when" and "every time" are interchangeable, "whenever" and "every time" are not. "Every time" is exact and without fail, while "whenever" implies unpredictability or indifference to the exact location.
"When (strongly implied every time) I go to the theater (exact location), I get popcorn."
"Every time (explicitly) I go to the theater (exact location), I get popcorn."
"Whenever (unpredictable, indifferent) I go to the theater (exact location -mismatch with unpredictability) I get popcorn"
That explanation makes logical sense, but honestly I suck at spelling and grammar. I also feel like a lot of it is location and setting dependant and people interpret things in different ways.
Pineapple. Not just on pizza (although that is an abomination), but all pineapple in food or drinks. It's weird and slimy and its taste taints everything it touches. Plus fresh pineapple is trying to digest you while you eat it. Just a horrible fruit all around.
You, sir or madam, are an abomination and should be abolished.
Pineapple is only slimy when inappropriately treated. For pizza you need to cut into small chunks, drain over a sink for a minute, and then quick fry in a pan to give a little caramelization. THEN put on pizza and bake. It is magic, paired with Canadian bacon, salty, sweet.
Yum
Best breakfast burrito: the Hawaiian. Ham, potatoes, pineapple, eggs, sour cream. In fact, you have inspired me, with your hateful statements this morning, and I'll be putting and order in shortly.
If you ever come to Anchorage, Alaska. Burrito factory. It's in a gas station, but they have a proper kitchen, and cook to order. Super weird, I know, but i take all my friends there when they come for a visit, and they always ask to go again, the next time they come up.
Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I'd actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory's breakfast burritos.
Pouring milk on top of the cereal means the cereal at the top is going to get pushed down a little and get soggy more quickly. Pouring milk over cereal is an atrocity that must be abolished.

You are obviously disturbed and need professional help, that you would defile the sanctity of a breakfast burrito with that devil fruit.

It is amazing. They put mango salsa on it.
If you ever come to Anchorage, Alaska. Burrito factory. It's in a gas station, but they have a proper kitchen, and cook to order. Super weird, I know, but i take all my friends there when they come for a visit, and they always ask to go again, the next time they come up.

Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I'd actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory's breakfast burritos.

Eh. I don't love burrito heaven. But I also eat breakfast burritos almost exclusively, so maybe that is it.

This is me with mango. Disgusting ass food that's related to poison ivy. No thanks!

Green bell peppers. I hate the way they taste. Had someone tell me they don’t taste like anything. Ok then why even bother if there’s no taste?

Humorous or not, when that floating turd finally swirls down the hole, I'm buying a big-ass flag pole specifically so I can fly it at full mast.

I want to abolish door knobs. They account for a thousand injuries in the world every few months. They must go.
(For the sake of the question since the question is over everyone's head in the section)

Pouring cereal before the milk.

Pouring milk on top of the cereal means the cereal at the top is going to get pushed down a little and get soggy more quickly. Pouring milk over cereal is an atrocity that must be abolished.
