For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

I respectfully disagree with the first two of your hot takes.

Oxford Commas are the best, least confusing way of defining the end of a list in a sentence. Sure, most of the time you can just figure it out from context, but not always. Very real lawsuits have occurred due to ambiguous lists, and Oxford commas prevent that.

Gaming laptops are fine, but as someone who's had one as a student, unless you're constantly travelling or have a specific need for a portable powerhouse, then you're absolutely better off just buying a cheap laptop and putting your money into a desktop. Your money goes further performance-wise, and you don't have to lug around a multi-Kg laptop in your bag to take notes/do light work on.

I totally agree about soup though. I wouldn't necessarily call it a drink, but it's closer to that than conventional food.
