The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

[Rome's rightful successor]

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

To be fair, the quality of TVs has massively outpaced the quality of DVDs. DVDs used to look good when we had worse looking TVs.

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.

It doesn't matter how high the resolution is if the subject is shit. While I understand your DVD complaint, that was a rich man's game I couldn't play. Want to talk about amazement? 700mb, every movie, early, every time.

I miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe.

Excessive consumption of music is a vice that is comparable to any other form of entertainment addiction, and even to mind-numbing substances. We shouldn't tell people it's cool to drown out your thoughts with music all day.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion but I hate conversational niceties like asking "how are you?" I am on the phone for work and every conversation with someone at a different company has to start with this bullshit "Hi Akashic Retard this is Fingle Fark with Ruddfucker's Asphault and Paving how are you doing today?" I always say hello and good and never ask them how they are just out of principle and without fail they pause as if they are waiting for me to ask them how they are, like they've been conditioned to do. I don't care how you are, I don't even know you, and I don't think you feel that differently so let's just get to why you are calling and stop wasting time. Nobody understands this better than Chinese takeout restaurants. If I call the one near me, every conversation will go the same:

"Hello, Pickup or delivery"
"Pickup"
"Ok what you want"
"Sweet and sour pork"
"Ok phone number"
"555-5555"
"Ok fifteen minute"
"Ok"

I cut out all music besides classical on the advice of my admittedly crazy but smart Pastor who calls modern music "jungle beats". All modern music genres comes from niggers who got it from Jews. I'm joking, but I'm also not joking. It's mind control and a dopamine machine just the same as TV and video games, and it's just as pozzed. When you cut out that kind of music, and then you're re-exposed to it, you can see the effects more clearly.

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

Actually tbh I always found the Witcher (game series as a whole) very beautiful and it's fun to fight the enemies and just walk around in general until the straight secks scenes happen. I immediately uninstalled the game after because I don't want to see a man and woman do the secks because I'm gay.

Anyway I hate the "educational & inspiring" gay short films on youtube. maybe because I'm old or something, but they annoy the shit outta me. They're very teenagerly,

The people who argued that legalizing same sex marriage will be a slippery slope was proven right.

Having transgender women in the same sport with women is a good thing. It's women who generally support trans rights and so now they should lay in the bed they made.

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.

Dating someone twice your age is based and trad.

Even as a musician I don't disagree. I have seen some people get WAY obsessive with it and it isn't healthy. Those types tend to be hyper sensitive and flaky and their mental health usually isn't swift. When I hear fans* say shit like "your band's music saved my life" it doesn't flatter me...it creeps me out.

"Tomboy" is a label for girls who reject their femininity/girly girl things as they are immature.
Your sporty, short haired dream GF has matured enough to embrace her feminity regardless of her appearance. The use of "tomboy" by men to describe adult women is absurd and usually a good way to see if the man has any experience being around women.

Yeah, I struggle to really think of what a tomboy would be like as an adult without being a full on lesbian. Know a lady who talked about how she was a full on tomboy as a child to the point where she tried to pee like her brothers. She grew out of that as an adult though.

But yeah, I don't get the fascination with them as an adult. As a guy, I want my women to be...well... womanly.

It's literally just guys that like girls with short hair. That's all it is.

From what I've notice, people that are in to tomboys always like to post pics of toned and muscular women/anime girls working out at the gym, so I assumes that tomboys are just another athletic/muscle girl fetish.

I'm in many car communities both online and in-person and though i worship the same 90s JDM shitboxes everyone else does, I have no love for pop up headlamps. Cars that lost them to regular halogens in updates did not get "ruined". Too much talk is made about tail light design too.

You're very right.

So there's a few ways I see this happening. One is jackasses listening to AirPods so nobody will talk to them. (I used to hate that, but when I got to hating everybody I started doing it too.)

Another is listening to the same song repeatedly. I'll find a song and listen to it 30 times in one day and burn out completely on it in days. Some songs/albums last for life, usually ones that have more going on with them (interesting music, not just fun music), but still.

Then there's, like you said, drowning out your thoughts. Listening to music constantly can make you anxious. It can also make you dump feelings into a song, and then when you try to listen to that song again it automatically brings up that bad feeling.

When you cut out that kind of music, and then you're re-exposed to it, you can see the effects more clearly.

So there's no value in jazz, swing, big band, rock and roll, folk music (made by Whites) like bluegrass or polkas or European peasant song, progressive or psychedelic rock , heavy metal, indie...

Especially the jazz and prog rock parts, which is often as sophisticated (musically speaking) or moreso than classical music, and the folk music part, which is traditional European music.

You sound like a douche, a pompous tryhard.
