The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

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.

*This is not a flex, I am a small-timer who played in unknown bands.
I noticed this too! Music can be great and all and even good for your mental health in a way, but whenever I hear someone get invested like that...


...it gets pretty concerning.

Neither Lynda Carter nor Gal Gadot are hot enough to play Wonder Woman. And both of them are good-looking women in their own right.
As for my opinion, doomers.

I get that life can be hellish, but for God's sake! Find a silver-lining! I don't want to go back to that unproductive black vortex of helpless thinking!
Dooming is just surrendering with spite, which is still surrender.
 
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.
Who's even buying them? How are they being sold? It can't all be Facebook marketplace and pawn shops. Right?

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 like buttons in general. Not everything has to be a touchscreen, dammit. Monkey brain like touchy things.

Susan Eisenberg was the best Wonder Woman and/because she was animated.

On topic: I really dislike celebrity voice actors. Good voice acting requires a different skill set than live acting and you can hear the difference in modern films.
 
Islamo-Christian is less of an oxymoron than Judeo-Christian.

Islam while being non-Trinitarian and denying the reality of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection (just like Judaism), at least has a place for Jesus and uses fragments and re-imaginings of the New Testament, even praising Mary highly. Nestorians and Miaphysites (the latter essentially Trinitarian) existed in the pre-Islamic world. Muhammad was merely a bastardization of a medieval Pope. Judaism doesn't go nearly as far as all that.

As for the brutality of Islamic jurisprudence, that's a consequence of being in a backwards part of the world. But frankly it makes more sense to group Christianity with Islam than to group Christianity with Judaism. Had Muslims mixed in medieval Europe rather than Jews, probably Islamophobia today would be milder than antisemitism ever was, and if Muslims had not eventually virtually entirely Christianized, in the west they would be barely distinguishable (just like the Jew down the street now!).
Now I'm wondering how would Islam and later 'western' civilisation develop if the siege of Constantinople in 718 succeeded with flying colors.
An Islam barely a century old being fully exposed to both Greek thinking and East Orthodox Christianity for pretty much its entire existence would be quite interesting to explore...

Anyways. I don't think Soya beans can make you grow tits and crave dick, the whole soyboy meme is just overblown.(still pretty funny).

Touchscreens and capacitive buttons suck for any kind of situation where you need to perform an input without taking your focus away from whatever you're already doing.

Plus, it's not just buttons that've gone missing. Imagine your phone having a little recessed jog wheel on top to control brightness, like this:

I genuinely couldn't tell you. But when you look up people showing off their Funko collection on Youtube, you kiiiinda get an idea what kind of people are the ones hoarding them. Yes, they look exactly like you'd expect them to.

People shouldn't have faith in humanity. It'll take something better than human to actually save humanity from its own nature and just simple physics. Humans can pull through for each other in small scale groups such as families or towns, but the larger the group gets the worse.
Ah yes, the duality of the average kiwi.

I miss the era where the middle ground was always an option and not the massive extremes we keep seeing around the world.
 
Barring my views on the stupidity of porn in general, dudes who are into 'squirting' are vile and have some serious issues to work out.
  • It's piss, you idiot coombrains. Women don't have an extra, unlisted, unmapped organ that shoots large amounts of water-consistency fluid upon climaxing. You're jerking off to women pissing themselves.
  • Being turned on by the simulation of a sexual function that is strictly male (ejaculation) is really fucking gay. You're a faggot whether or not you realize it.
  • These dudes are really such self-centered virgins that they can't comprehend the idea that women's sexual organs and functions are as different from their own as they really are. It's in the same ballpark as the terminal virgin hentai artists who draw really bad approximations of vaginas smack dab and front-facing, boring into the pelvic bone where a dude's penis would be because they can't comprehend anything too different from their own anatomy.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk, I hope some of you out there are questioning your degenerate life choices.
