The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

[Seora]

Posting on Twitter about how you’re sick, taking pills/needing to see a doctor or hate women just tells everyone you don’t have a good relationship with your mother or extended family to the point where you could hypothetically drop dead and everything would still be the same? I’m seeing more and more of this and it just reaffirms this idea.

Buying fireworks is a complete waste of money. Fine if you have kids that would get excited for it, but if you’re an adult doing the equivalent of setting your money on fire, I’m of the opinion you can’t be trusted with money.

Unironically I just want to grill on the 4th

I know a guy who will spend probably 500USD over the year, on various occasions, on fireworks. Not a bank breaking sum by any means, but the people who do this typically aren't big earners.

He's lighting then in the back alley, in his garden, and that's it. Simply don't understand it.

Like you say, if it's to show your young kids, fair enough. But that's about it.

The stylophone is a real great instrument, and for the life of me, I can’t understand why they keep calling it a toy.

Taurine (about 1.25 grams per small can) - an amino acid that is generally very good for you. The Japanese use 3 grams per day to treat heart failure, for example. Found in all sorts of protein sources, particularly high in seafood like scallops and tuna. A 100-150 gram serving of those will give you the same amount found in a Red Bull.

There was this Vietnamese energy drink I used to get that I never even knew its name but it had 3g of taurine in a bottle along with the usual inositol/B vitamin combo, but no caffeine and was only slightly sweet. It worked really well and without the nasty sugar/caffeine crash of Western energy drinks.

Sometimes, some people like to spend their money on simple amusements. There's nothing really wrong with that.

People say all manner of things about the United States and modern Germany and Israel (the one founded in 1946), and one point made sooner or later is that these countries "aren't real countries". The US was founded on stolen land, Federal Germany was formed illegally against the Geneva Suggestions, Israel is Jewish, etc.

This is a good insult but a bad argument. A true nation is one that can stay on the map, in other words maintain its existence. The three nations mentioned above managed this - The Confederacy, Germany, and Rhodesia couldn't, and so they died. Sure they all played dirty, that's what the game of nations is about.

Most famous people are average looking and if you think someone like Scarlett Johanson is a 9 outta 10 you're a coombrain.

Nationalism is an important part of life and while sometimes people take it to far abandoning it is an even worse thing.
Just because we had two world wars where nationalism played a part in doesn't mean we should throw out culture, ethnicity, and history for neo-liberalism and globalhomo.

Weed should be less socially acceptable and I wish recreational wasn't legalized. You know what helps you sleep? Not being a fat lazy fuck who never gets out of your chair. Anybody I know who started using weed after it got legalized got continually stupider and stupider and more of an annoying stoner who thinks it's okay just because it's legalized. Fuck off, it's a vice and you shouldn't be proud of it.

The US needs to hurry up and have a second civil war. I don't mean this in some edgy way. The suspense is literally killing(tm) people. Just get it over and done with. We all know who'd win and the sooner they're in charge, the better.

Is it just me or are the majority of driving instructors douches that only cling onto driving experience as some sort of power move? The first one I had was a foreign dude that couldn’t follow a schedule so I tried a notable company. Turns out they had crappy customer service and limited instructors. The instructor I got was an asshole who got very combative when I didn’t say he was right about every fucking thing (not even about driving either). He would use drawn out analogies of a job and firing rather than be blunt and just ask me to go and focus on xyz for next time. When I brought this up to him, he didn’t like it and tried to say that it was his time I was using though of course I gladly told him that I was paying for his time in the first place. Maybe it was down to my age or something like that either way he was just condescending and purposely misunderstood any questions or answers I had about driving (which I knew was deliberate because he boasted about teaching his nephew to drive and busting his balls too) . It got to the end second lesson before I requested a new instructor, they wanted an extra 70 to put me on a partner’s course. Fuck that, I’m not going to pay extra for something that I can go somewhere else for and be refunded.

Are all instructors incompetent or simply on an ego trip?

We should publish Chris Chan's prison notes into a book like what people did with Antonio Gramsci or Corneliu Codreanu.
Assuming if Chris Chan will die in prison of course.

The idea of "egg" in the tranosphere seems very hypocritical in the sense of speculation/outing. In the LGBT community, I've heard how speculating/outing regarding sexuality was considered taboo/gross as it's considered very personal. But for some strange reason this gets a pass. I'm curious, is it ok, or is it not ok?

Live concert music is too loud.

There's a term for this, the loudness war. All other things equal, louder music sounds clearer and higher quality, so in order to sound better than their competitors, recording companies have slowly raised the volume over the years, compressing and distorting to keep things within a speaker's range.

My dad's vinyl of Bridge Over Troubled Water goes from almost inaudible to booming loud by the end, whereas the youtube versions can be listened to the whole way through without any volume adjustment.

Mondays are ok days. Not to bad if you've got an alright work schedule.
