No, hot dogs are sandwiches.
1. People like what they like. You can’t force someone to like something. You can expose them to a piece of work, but if they don’t like it, that’s the way it is. You can’t talk them out of it. This is the Hawaiian Pizza Principle.
2. A machine gun is not a robot.
3. A hotdog is not a sandwich.
4. Those who put in the work, get to choose first. That is to say, if you’re driving the car, you have priority when it comes to programming what music or words you listen to.
5. Bad planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part.
6. There are no demons lurking in wind produced by box fans or air conditioners.
7. If you are within 250 miles of a German waterpark that is housed in a former zeppelin factory, go to it. Do not not go to it.
8. You should pay for content. And if possible, pay for it in the way that the thing that you are paying for makes money and is asking you to pay for it.
9. Be mindful of the work you leave for others.
10. Tip everyone because they are all humans. None of them is garbage.
11. And you are not garbage, so do not eat out of the garbage, or put that garbage on your pizza.
In New Zealand or any nation.
12. Respect the work that you’ve done, and believe that your content is worth paying for.
13. I mentioned that a hotdog is not a sandwich, I’ll put it here again.
14. Do not try to weasel out of common sense agreements using pedantry such as, “this party is on private property, so I can wear my fleecy crocs.” Or to say, perhaps “A hot dog is a sandwich because it is listed on the sandwich part of this one menu that I am sending to you on Instagram right now.”
15. Do not seek out disputes in life; you’ll have plenty of them. Don’t look for fights. Don’t especially look for fights to try to get a thread over 2000 comments. And especially especially don’t look for fights and disputes in your life because you are obsessed with always being right. Because the truth is, you are mostly wrong. We all are wrong, and especially you, Ryujin, right now.
