The thread where you post your mildly unpopular opinions

Soy is a pretty great, even though it's now become a meme and vegans have ruined it in the west.
It's dirt cheap.
Soy sauce is way better in soup than just salt. Dehydrated soy chunks are a great long-term storage protein source. Soy "milk" can act as a substitute for cow milk in most baking related stuff and doesn't need refrigeration. Cubed and fried Tofu is a great side WITH meat, rather than a substitute FOR it. Roasted soy beans are an awesome snack with some olive oil and spices. Pairing soy protein with whey protein in a shake gives you the perfect blend of quickly digested (whey) protein and slow-to-digest soy protein to fuel regeneration.

Its pretty annoying that the soy meme became about soy being evil instead of Soylent being a product that celebrates being a worker drone and soy being a cheap filler ingredient in bad foods.

The Star Wars prequels were good. Not perfect but all around I think people are way too harsh on the films

The animated clone wars series makes the overall lore even better on top of that. Until Disney came along to ruin everything anyway

Honestly, the Clones are some of my favorite aspects of the entire series. The idea of an artificial army created by the DNA of a Jedi killing bounty hunter fighting against an army of mass produced droids is fascinating to me. It all meshes with the general philosophy of how soldiers can be seen as "expendable", how that affects people and how it reflects on those running the show. And I liked how the EU stuff explores these ideas. Such as in stuff like Republic Commando or the CGI Clone Wars where the clones each develop their own personalities and quirks, as well as other pieces of work mentioning how conflicted the Clones were over being ordered to killing their Jedi generals. Least until they decided they had chips implanted in them. Which takes away the moral ambiguity of it all.

There were plenty of good *ideas* in the prequels which could have been refined and presented in a compelling way.

Ideas are cheap, though, and the execution was laughably bad. The only thing the prequels have going for them is the comparative charm of one fat autistic man's vision come to life, unedited, versus a soulless corporate product for to consume.

Imagine if Marvel bought the rights to Sonichu. That's the transition from the prequels to the Disney trilogy.

Mind you, the original trilogy is Dune as imagined by a fat autistic man who doesn't understand Dune, with a ww2 fetish. Star Wars has always been for mouthbreathers; it's just gotten less charming with successive iterations.

I do like the model spaceships. They're swell. Too bad they got replaced with lame video game graphics once that was cheaper.

People have been having a good time dunking on past saints like Mother Theresa for being crazy Charlatans, but Gandhi has been caught up in this trend and I just don't like the way people have tried to tear him down.. People assert that Gandhi was a pedophile because he would sleep in a bed with his nieces while nude to prove that he had no sexual attraction and/or prove that he had self discipline. This is is insane stuff, but I don't think its enough to declare him a pedo.

Ngl I’m kinda interested in trying this.

I love black licorice. Didn’t think it was that unpopular an opinion but literally everyone around me acts like I just ate a baby if I mention I like it.

I used to drink Ouzo, because I hated it. So I could choke it down like medicine, more so than I could do shots of less-gross liquor.
