> Pineapple bad

Back your fucking self up

>> No.872051

>>872046
it's too tangy and the outer shell of the pineapple is spikey and overall difficult to deal with. pineapple is only good when pre-sliced and pealed, or mixed in a juice drink. eating a pineapple is quite the chore unlike the more accessible and appealing fruits, such as pears and peaches, which can be eaten instantly with little to no hassle or difficulty.

6. Books where the main character is named Tyrell and the blurb on back cover goes something like this:

Shaquanda was looking for fire in her life. As the head of an important law firm, the romance had gone from her life... Until she met the dark and dashing Tyrell. Now Shaquanda must overcome her inner demons to catch her own

Pop-science books try to make science seem perfect. This bothers me.

They also keep trying to astound their audience by whipping-out big numbers at every opportunity. It gets old fast.

Pop-science books also tend to dabble in evolutionary psychology which is just nonsense. Anyone can craft a narrative to describe the function of a bodily feature. These guys are just a little more convincing than the rest of us.

well ok, you could say most pop science books are bad or something. but i suppose you really are talking about things like "the science of attraction"
