You may not care too much about business rivalry, but if I had to make a choice, here's what I'll take:

Coke over Pepsi
Hershey over Nestl?
Wal-Mart (I go there a lot) over Target (I wouldn't even bother)
Apple over Microsoft

I was gonna put Wal-Mart, Hershey, and Apple in red font and the others in blue font, but I decided not.
 
Whenever I want to shorten a Switch game's title, I want to specify which it is by adding NX after it (e.g. ACNX, Smash NX, etc). And every time I say it in my head, I hear Regina George say, "Stop trying to make NX happen. It's not going to happen." ;-;
 
I was trying to write some blog entries sharing my thoughts, but I saved them as drafts because I don't know if I should post them publicly.

This latest draft was a compilation of quotes on this site that bothered me in the past and what I have to say. Should I publish that entry, or should I leave it as a draft and turn it into something else later? It's my blog, and I can say what I want, but I don't want to hurt anyones' feelings.
 
Honestly I'd just not post that if they are "bothersome" since they can probably be identified with a bit of work even if you keep them anon...

I actually decided that I'm not gonna post the entry (whether or not the quotes are included), and if I do, I have to radically transform the draft into a completely different subject. It's just another entry about politics, criticizing the community for their harsh treatment towards me in the past. Once something is over, there's no need to continue discussion. And bringing up the past just to attack other members on the forum is breeding grounds for another fight, which may eventually lead the staff into adding a rule forbidding discussion of past drama.

Without the quotes, here's what it basically does:
- It says that fighting is never okay, no matter what people believe
- It anonymously criticizes certain members for allowing fighting if someone posts an opinion someone doesn't like
- It says that frustration is not an excuse for being mean or rude
- It condemns passion, saying that it makes people meaner and less caring about getting warnings or bans
- It criticizes namecalling, peer pressure, and making people feel bad for what they believe in
- It defends peoples' opinions and rights to have any opinion over any issue while condemning those who can't respect that
- It says that demographic privileges don't exist and invoking any privilege card is intolerant to all groups since it persecutes one group while belittling the rest

There's no reason to publish another thread or entry like that. I already made countless posts about those, and the rules already forbid namecalling or making people feel bad. Plus, if I were to publish it with the quotes, it will make whoever said the quotes look like violators as the entry makes accusations against doing what the lessons contradict. In addition, whatever I listed above sounds like the lessons are harsh. It's basically doing the same thing what I didn't like people doing. So this blog entry is a no go. I'm not even going to discuss this off site since that would give this site a negative reputation, thus decreasing publicity.

And yes, I do seek permission or suggestions about what to say or what to do so I don't get in trouble.

EDIT: I just changed the draft entry to "To be disclosed" so I can turn it into anything else in the future.

A common misconception is that diet sodas help you lose weight. I never believed that, and for a long time, I never knew that people believed that. If they don't help me lose weight, then why do I keep drinking diet sodas and avoiding regular sodas? Because diet sodas taste better. And that is an objective fact you shall not deny.

Just kidding. I still believe diet sodas taste better than their sugary counterparts, but you can drink whatever you want to drink.
 
I hate it when McDonald's screws up on my order. I ask for Diet Coke, not HFCS Coke.

By the way, this is my 17,000th post.
 
Totally doesn't have way more than that lol.

Also if people could stop empty their piggy banks with the least value coins that'd be nice for us in store tyvm.
