70% of all problems occur at home.

... for the most part, I think that the people here suffer from what I call variola stultorum anonymorum, which seems to afflict the internet. In other words, if you meet them at a gaming table, they are likely to be kind, inclusive, open-minded, tolerant, curious, and willing to try all sorts of games and generally fun to play with.

Get them behind a keyboard, however, and they will retreat to the smallest hill of an extreme preference and happily die defending it, with extreme rhetoric and anger while mocking any and all perceived enemies ... and possibly allies.

So code-switching for compromise?

I understand that they've determined 90% of accidents on trains occur in the last car. I don't understand why they don't remove that last car! I should become president of the rail lines, so I could institute this policy!

Kind of like how hotels skip counting the 13th floor?

If we don’t call it the 13th or last then it’s not

I guarantee doing that stops all the accidents from being on the last car.

Funniest graffitti I ever saw was on a condom dispenser in the bathroom of a Kansas City bar. Someone had written, "INSERT BABY FOR REFUND".

And my favorite pizza is:
-Ham
-Pineapple
-Jalapenos
-Anchovies

Best part is, I never have to share.

I had some friends in college who basically ate like a fat guy in an old cartoon (one of them actually did the thing where you cut out a reasonable sized slice, then take the entire cake for yourself once) so I started getting anchovy pizza for basically this reason.
It didn't work. One of them, who doesn't like anchovies, ate so fast he slurped down half the pizza before he realized it had anchovies.

Sounds good to me!

I hate pizza! I hate it so much that I can't stop talking about it. Everywhere I go, I mention it. I eat it every day, too, so that I never forget how bad it is. I hang out in pizza shops so that I can tell the customers how bad their food is. I sign my name with "I Hate Pizza" in quotes. You should subscribe to my newsletter; it's called "Things That Are Better Than Pizza." Pizza is just the wors--hey, where are you going? I'm not done talking about pizza!

The trouble with that as an analogy for RPGs is you’d first need to remove all non-pizza food options. Then wonder why people who hate the only option are complaining about it. Because it’s either effectively or literally the only option.
