    You/your/you're wrong. Other mistakes take precedence.

      I never understood the benefit of this. You need to go backwards at some point regardless.

      Simple: Visibility and speed. You look at a parking spot, and if it's empty, it's definitely empty. It's virtually guaranteed to stay that way as you back in, so you don't need to monitor what's in it. No cars, cyclists, pedestrians, emergency vehicles, et cetera, are going to enter the parking stall as you back in. That's not true of a street or lane when you back out into it. It's often difficult to even see traffic coming, as backup cameras don't have the wide-angle coverage, and there's always the possibility that you didn't see somebody.

      As a result of both of those factors, with practice, backing in can be done in seconds, and pulling out is a breeze. Pulling in forward is a breeze, but for most people, backing out is a slower, more nerve-wracking maneuver. (At least that's my assumption from watching how long it takes.) On the other hand, the people who just YOLO it back out into traffic are psychopaths.

        I didn't think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here... I don't even have a clue what it is.

          Oh boy I originally read this as that we needed to pick one of your listed hills and get behind it, and I liked the concept

            Seconded on Monty Python - he should feel terrible about that travesty.

            Also a shower per day minimum for everyone is necessary and that’s the hill I’m dying on. Clean your stinky arse up.

            I used to think that as well. But what if it turned out that over-showering was actually the thing that makes you stinky?

              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

                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.

                  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.

                  The only reason Americans started buying pick up trucks on mass is because of Tarifs put on Japanese car manufacturers in the 1970s and pick up trucks had no taxes on them suddenly became one of the cheapest and more affordable cars in the United States. Rick Wolf explained this somewhere I can’t remember where exactly.

                    camera phones

                    Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it's on the phone's backside.

                        We should stop using time zones

                        Check this out. I'm a business with at least one office in every US state. You want to know when my New York office opens so you can come by. Instead of seeing "Offices are open 9 AM to 5 PM" You now need to check every office... by state.. by city? Time zones would be helpful even if we all used GMT, so that you could easily determine which time zone a business is in to set a reasonable time to be open.

                        DST can fuck off though.

                          American cheese is cheese as much as sausage is meat.

                          Sausage is meat, just ground up. People use the term "american cheese" to refer to a variety of products, ranging from almost all real cheese with a small percentage of emulsifier added, to shit like Kraft singles which is mostly milk protein concentrate and emulsifier with a small percentage of real cheese added (allegedly). The latter is usually labelled "pasteurized process cheese food/product" or something similar, US law forbids actually calling it cheese if the cheese content is less than 95% iirc

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

                                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.

                                  My hill: Laws that give “unnecessary” rights to people are still good overall and shouldn't ever, EVER, be reversed. Laws that give “unnecessary” rights keep society stable and have come from past times soaked in blood. If you reverse 60-100 years of these gains, then society will collapse.

                                    Owning a pug is animal cruelty

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

                                    Even if it's a rescue? Maybe breeding pugs (without trying to reverse the damage done to them) is pretty shitty, but I could see rescuing one is fine. I mean, what's the other option, killing them all?

                                      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

                                        -for humanity to survive, it must eliminate the rich

                                        -pineapple can go on pizza. You can put whatever you want on pizza. You don't have to like it for it to be a valid topping. Some people just hate things because they heard about it online.

                                        -new York pizza is not the best pizza in the universe.

                                        • the people who want to change the date of celebrating Halloween to the last Saturday of October (or anything similar) are childhood hating assholes who think that it's more important to keep the capitalistic society going than celebration human culture. They would rather things be convenient for them and their bosses than to let people celebrate things when they please. There's also probably a bias against non Christian religions. If you find it inconvenient you should be mad at the system that makes it inconvenient for you to do something on a Tuesday night, not a holiday that's centuries older than your job. Work should work around holidays not the other way around.

                                          • Modern flip phones (e.g. Samsung Fold) are stupid and gimmicky industrial design failures.
                                          • Humans are not good by nature. They are taught to be good but even babies cry and get angry without anyone teaching them.
                                          • The Cat in The Hat movie with Mike Myers was not as bad as critics claim and actually had good undertones patched together with modern humor that is more profound in recent times than when it was originally released. It was actually ahead of its time.
                                          • Apple/MacOS isn't actually a better platform and is only designed to give the impression that it is simpler even though people still have to learn how to use it.
                                          • Adult services should be legal in all countries and the workers involved should get paid with benefits/protections just like everybody else. This is assuming capitalism cannot be removed from the picture.
                                          • VTubers shouldn't be showing their actual bodies. It defeats the purpose of using the moniker in the first place.
                                          • Education should be free without any debt involved. There is legitimately no good reason why education and knowledge should be pay-walled.
                                          • Euthanasia should be legal where the person no longer wishes to subject themselves to failing health is granted control over their body. Forcing such people to keep living is selfish and pertains cruel and unusual.
                                          • Hollywood should not be idolized and is actually part of the problem with things being f'd up rn. There is no good reason why actors or any kind of artist should be making all that money while the rest of society gets by with the scraps we toss around while the rich get richer. The same goes for any kind of celebrity, really. I don't even leave out sports people in this.

                                          This took me twice as long to finish because every other point I ended up with something political. So this is pretty much the least triggering or offensive I can make my list. Good grief.

                                          I'm gonna have to ask what you define as good because I don't think having emotions is bad, even if you're a baby
