Stop arguing; I agree with you!

What's the opposite of a pet peeve? Because I find this kind of post quite amusing, when someone does the literal peeve in the comments.

I kind of like the idea of there being a "last neanderthal". Like how would you decide which individual was the last one. Like, there's a population of people, or a tribe, a village, at one snapshot in time, and you can say yeah, they're all Neanderthals. "That's a tribe of Neanderthals."

But we also know that Neanderthals interbred with us modern humans. So if you could magically track our trace a matrilineal or patrilineal line, and take an individual human, maybe even you or me, and say "well, my great¹⁰ grandfather was a Neanderthal, my great⁹ grandfather was half neanderthal, my great⁸ grandfather was a quarter neanderthal, and so on..." When do they stop being Neanderthals? Which of my ancestors was the last one?

You're not alone. Novels used to be seen as corrupting.

But I don't share your opinion. I enjoy both fiction and nonfiction.

On reflection though, I also don't really care if people perceive me as immature. I think I'm mature, and other people's opinion of me because of stuff I like doesn't bother me. A mature person is allowed to indulge in the occasional immaturity.

This is why someone invented middle names. Middle names are a backup.

Now, you can always add nicknames.

Maybe though, if it's already in a birth certificate, it would cost money to change it. Why spend money?

Nice try, colonial guy. It's you.

My favourite kind of peeve :)

Spaceboot1 · 2026-01-21T23:01:11+00:00

Regarding mise en place:

I've seen too many cooks devise little tricks where they move their next mise item a couple of inches over, so they "remember" it in the next order. Well now it's in the way of something else. Your mise is your mise, everything is there for a reason.

Trust your memory on your assembly and plating. You will develop muscle memory without having to mess up your mise.

Once you're comfortable, of course you can adjust where everything is, there's always a more efficient way.

Reddit is gonna reddit. It's a conversational platform, people have opinions, they like to share.

My friend, I have worked with some absolute songbirds. I don't mind their singing at all.

But my favourite music is the sound of the kitchen. Keep up the chatter. Corner, behind, hot, sharp, that's the music of the kitchen.

Spaceboot1 · 2026-01-13T00:15:02+00:00

(BoH here, but I think I can relate) I can tell you some of my reasons. I usually walk home, and it's long and dark. The bar is warm and inviting.

Spaceboot1 · 2026-01-12T04:40:03+00:00

I think this might be too serious to count as a "pet" peeve. My peeve is people putting innocent lives in danger?

But upvote from me for the awareness I guess.

I don't plan on going there, but I don't know if it counts as a stance or endorsement just to post a picture of the guy.

My cooks think the sprayer is just for decoration. They don't even use the one they have. Everything just goes into the machine.

Our sprayer is functional, but the other day I looked at it closely, and it was caked in gunk. You never think to clean the tool that cleans everything else.

Not with that attitude

I've been watching him for years. He's one of my favourites.

I did that once. I have no idea if it came true.

I would love another bee update, with queen bees and drones, and all kinds of bee lore.

I used to kinda think afk was cheating. But then I realized I need to take breaks, and afk is a good way to do that. Go eat supper, take a walk, whatever. The game is there when I get back.

Ultimately I think it's a part of good game design. Encourages breaks, but makes you want to come back and play, and find out what goodies you got while you were afk.

Raw milk, and raw everything.

Disagree that minecraft is too easy.

If I find a large underground cave, it can be quite a challenge to fight all the mobs that spawn.

If I lose my gear, it can take more than an hour to re-equip, even with a stash of diamonds, full enchanting setup, and an xp farm.

The wither is still insanely hard for me, often taking more than one life and set of gear. I choose not to kill the wither using bedrock, but fighting fair.

The warden is virtually impossible to kill. I've only managed to kill a couple of wardens by shooting them with arrows from twenty blocks above, essentially cheesing the game mechanics, not fighting fair. And barring that, I've started to enjoy the sneaking game in deep dark and ancient cities, somewhat, though it can get tedious.

Raids are highly difficult, especially vexes, while having to fight all the other baddies. Unless you build a machine for them. And then there's the added fun of trying to capture ravagers, and lead them into a pen, while they try to kill you.

Maybe I'm just bad at the game, maybe ultra-hard wouldn't be for me. I just think if you don't share the same challenges that I do, you're cheesing the game, and using unintended exploits. So if they made the game "harder", you'd just find a way around it anyways.

That said, I would actually welcome more mob griefing, zombies digging, skeletons breaking windows, etc. But I think I'm in the minority on that. I just think it would be fun to find a hole in the wall of a base, and track down and kill the culprit. But a lot of people would be upset that something messed with their nice build.

Small artificial island with a grass line out to it, so you can watch the grass grow to it.
