Good french fries don't need ketchup

• Adding fries to a dish in a (good) restaurant means you didn’t make a complete dish and just added the fries to add carbs/fill people.

• On that same note: just a piece of meat (steak, spareribs or smth like that) is not a full meal (and don’t you start about adding fries and a salad)

• a restaurant is only as good as its vegetarian dishes (some exceptions apply, like restaurants that focus exclusively on meat)

Ironically, I am not a vegetarian ;)

It feels like my understanding of "logic" as a "subject" is probably one big warm take: I think it is just a piece of maths and programming and maybe philosophy, because it exists in service of all the things that require similar rigor to maths. I'm too far removed from the 1920's to understand why "the birth of mathematical logic" in Hilberts search for metaMathematical Maths Proofs, Gödel, etc. is called that. (it's probably just a misleading name) Often it feels like people imply too big a distinction between maths and logic. Doing any maths, like solving a quadratic equation requires logic: Any of the common rewritings like adding to both sides are things where you know a logical implication from one equation to the next. Knowing an equation has two solutions means knowing a logical or between x = a and x = b. That makes me feel bad for early logicians as their ideas seemed to be boring for lack of applications.

Highschool should be a compound word. So should eachother.

In German I deliberately write the word "Standard" (same meaning as the English "standard") with "t" at the end: "Standart". Likewise all words that have it as a stem, such as "standartmäßig" or "Standartabweichung" ("according to standard", "standard deviation").

The reason:
Etymologically (although contested), "Standard" developed from the Old Low Franconian (Old Dutch) compound "standhard" just as in "stand + hard", meaning "standing firm" or "steadfast" (like your morning wood :D ).
The other, contesting, etymology derives it from the Old French "estendre": such as in "extend".

However, while the particle "hard" became "hart" in modern German, officially, "Standard" still has to be written with the "d". Thus, writing "Standart" with "t" is my silent rebellion against logical inconsistencies in languages.

In English I don't care, because "hard" is still written with "d", therefore "standard" is absolutely fine for me here.

Funnily, some dictionaries, e.g. DWDS, declare "Standart" a common orthographic mistake.

But I will keep writing "Standart", until "Standart" becomes the new 'Standart'. ;)

Edit:
I just remembered a second reason:
In German "Standard" is usually even pronounced with the harder "t". Nobody says "Standard" with the soft "d" as it is usual in English. Same thing with "hart". So even more reason to update the German 'Standard' to 'Standart'.

White trim on houses make them look cheap/bad. You've got every color in existence paint your house something interesting.

The word is "yeah".

Not "yea".

The later rhymes with "yay" and means something similar to but distinct from "yes'

Similarly it is yea/nay not yay/nay.

And fuck English for making the incorrect more logical and consistent. Lol

Even if you did put learning how to file your taxes in high school, no one was ever going to pay attention to it. We can tell based on how so many people voted in the previous election.

No one would ever make fun of British food again if the Anglosphere was more aware of Dutch food.

If it doesn't come entirely encased in pastry, then it isn't a pie, it's a bloody casserole with a hat!

Pubs that serve "pies" and then give you slop with a square of pastry that clearly wasn't even in contact with the slop before it hit the plate should be turned into Costa coffee shops for their crimes.

(Shepherd's pie and cottage pie are so named for historical honorary reasons, and may continue to be so.)

The calendar should be 13 4-week months that always end on Sunday.

The leftover day should be considered a worldwide holiday.

Any time there is a leap year situation, all that time gets added to this one day, like the injury time at the end of a soccer/football match.

I don't like small tiles. I prefer wood, carpet, cement and smooth large tiles.

"Ignorant" does mean wilfully ignorant. It doesn't just mean uninformed.

To be vacant is to have been vacated.

To be an applicant is to have applied.

To be a claimant is to have made a claim.

And to be ignorant is to have ignored something.

(Of course, not all "-ant" words seem to stand alone without their suffix--at least, not in today's vernacular. Does an arrogant person arrog? Does a fragrant flower frag? Rob Words might have more to say about the vestigial origins of some of these.)

Can't wait to learn how I might just be ignorant about this (by my definition or the "real" one).
