The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

[mickey339]

None of the new socio-economic groupings like consomers, soy, techbros, etc. are real in any meaningful capacity and it is extremely frightening to see inventions of Know Your Meme articles being brought up in serious discussions about global politics, sociology and philosophy.

It just means you have accepted that a thing exists, and you have no strong opinions about it. You end a sentence with "It is what it is" to clear up any conception of a subtextual feeling you might have accidentally conveyed.

I'd figure that'd be obvious, but it is what it is, I suppose

To me, it always meant something more along the lines of:

'The situation exists, I can't change it, so I'll cope with it the best I can and not let myself be upset by it.'

It's a perfectly fine phrase, and frankly I think people who get really up in arms and choose to interpret it literally are probably a bit autistic.

I guess that all also counts as my unpopular opinion, since I always see people complaining about it on places like Reddit.

As long as someone is over 18 and not a mental invalid there is literally nothing wrong with dating them. If you're the type of person that tries to set a 'soft' age of consent or dating 'age brackets' with arguments that boil down to "I find it creepy", you have zero right to complain when lolbertarians start questioning why the AOC is set where it is. If you try to raise it arbitrarily, why shouldn't someone make the argument to lower it arbitrarily?

There are a thousand things you could point out that were wrong with Ralph's relationship with Faith, and the age difference is perhaps one of the least objectionable.

I just simply cannot feel sorry for people who 'have' to sell a lot of stuff they've hoarded, because they lost their job and are now in need of money.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for people who have to live paycheck to paycheck and can't make ends meet. Been there, done that, it sucks.
But I can't feel sorry for someone who 'has to sell' their 500 piece Funko Pop collection on Craigslist because they're running out of cash. You could have saved at least some of that money in case shit ever hits the fan, mate.

While I'm at it, people who don't have any reserve assets, even though they make enough to put some money on the side, will forever blow my mind. Maybe because I couldn't live that way. I don't know.

I have no idea if this is an unpopular idea or not, but phones and tablets should have physical buttons just like volume control for screen brightness. Auto-brightness never ever works right, and I'm having to change that shit all the time because screens are bright as suns now

i don't think the witcher 3 is fun, people always told me shit like you wont last 5 minutes playing this game try not to cum but the game is like okay. gwent is no fun either. the controls are pretty clunky, he moves like a car. i really don't get why people treat this game like the christ himself programmed it, idk. music is good though

Bananas are oranges.

I haven't had a banana "fall" into my asshole since that kegger in college.

I haven't had a banana "fall" into my asshole since I was a sperm in my dad's nutsack, because I'm not gay

I think it lies mostly in the story and writing. The gameplay is clunky as hell and the downgraded graphics are just ugly at times, but it's engrossing otherwise. If you don't care about the setting, characters, or the story at all, it's going to be a slog.

I wasn't optimistic about Cyberpunk2077 because the Witcher 3's core gameplay was so meh.

Economic and fiscal fuckery worry me far more than social war sperging.

"Yea, my money is worthless, jobs are scarce, automation just made me unemployed, the wealth is even more concentrated to a miniscule number who are still yelling at me to buy shitty art of apes, the rent is due, and I'm having to huff 5 dollar a gallon gasoline to make my mind forget being in a crushing Worker's Paradise/Laissiez Faire wonderland....

BUT HEY, LORD OF THE RINGS HAS AN ALL WHITE CAST AGAIN, THE EGIRS/FAKE GAMER GRLLS, FEMINISTS, MEN IN DRESSES, AND FAGS ARE ALL GONE, SO THIS CRIPPLING POVERTY IS TOTALLY WORTH IT TO OWN THE LIBTARDS!

I mean this just facts economics and logistics are the life blood of civilization.

Touchscreen controls aren't that bad for games that don't require quick responses, turn-based stuff and such. You get the same amount of accidental button presses as you would with physical controls. Gaymers just don't need to use them often and when they do the older ones are used to physical controls.

It's extremely weird to me when couples decide to marry only after the woman gets pregnant. Why not before? Why not after having the kid? Why like 3-4 months into the pregnancy?

No matter how long the relationship before lasted - I just always found it weird when people do that.

I don't know why so many people have kids out of wedlock. I'm old and was raised that you only have kids after marriage. I doesn't make sense to me to have a child with someone you aren't married to.

There's no reason for it other than "MUH BOOBIES MUH POLAND!"

I really don't give much of a fuck about 4k or any ultra high definition. It's nice to be sure, but I'm not going to throw an autistic temper tantrum if something I want to watch isn't in glorious 4k or 1080. I see people constantly bitching online (and quite often offline) if the picture quality isn't the absolute best it can possibly be.

It's pretty funny how the public perception of DVD quality went from "this is so clear and brilliant, everything looks amazing" to "ABSOLUTELY UNWATCHABLE PIXELATED TRASH" in less than a decade

It's also pretty funny that modern media is so terrible that the only 4K media I ever watch is the YouTube channel of a middle aged Englishman who reviews random tech, and, untitularly, without moaning. Everything else tops out at 1080p.
