2017: Unpopular opinions thread

[etiolate]

The only people who eat applesauce are babies, poor kids on free lunch, and prisoners.

So basically people who have no other choice.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Not to humor numerology for pop historians (i.e. generational "analysis"), but your thesis rests on your audience not knowing anything about the people from the Silent and G.I. generations.

Arbitrary and convenient boundaries are the hallmark of pseudoscience though, so top marks on that.

This isn't the "well thought out scientifically based argument" thread

Applesauce tastes great on fish sticks and cottage cheese makes an excellent chipdip.

The first one I haven't had in years as I've been a vegetarian for over a decade, but I remember it fondly.

Capers are delicious by themselves.

You sound like one of those people who think pita chips and hummus is a suitable substitute for chips and salsa.

[chronovore]

All the frappucinos, every single one, are garbage. Just buy a goddamned milkshake.

It is, and now I'm hungry, so please stop tempting me.

People who make a big show of correcting the way somebody says"nuclear" are the worst.

Define "a big show" for me. Public humiliation is lame – but so is pronouncing it "nuk-yuh-lerr."

[Trurl]

It was a bigger deal during the Bush years.  I recall a nuclear expert on C-SPAN being condescendingly corrected by a caller who said that he couldn't trust somebody who can't even say the word.

It's an insecurity of mine because I can't hear the difference between the two ways people say it. 

[Rufus]

One is nookoo-lar, the other is new-clear (and correct). You honestly don't hear it?

[chronovore]

Microsoft requiring some form of online feature in every 360 game was seriously bullshit. Doubly so considering their own infrastructure didn't natively support it. 

[mormapope]

Elderly people are allowed to be complete and utter fuck ups due to pity alone. Feminists are shallow and airheaded as fuck most of the time. People that deem themselves free spirited, but dont break laws or do drugs, aren't free spirited. Being a picky eater is a choice.

VR has shown itself as a novelty for random people to try out at Best Buys and nothing more. All game studios making VR games are setting themselves up for large losses in revenue.

VR will still have its day, just not with baseline consumers. The medical industry loves the shit out of VR and AR right now.

It's become the new 3D TV.  I have a lot of coworkers and friends who bought VR units, thought it was great, and has been collecting dust a couple weeks after buying it.

How's the 3D porn market?

[tiesto]

Bagel Street Deli in Athens, Ohio is the greatest of all time.

Triggering me right now! Seriously, bagels anywhere off the island are 

[chronovore]

How's the 3D porn market?

Porn tends to drive technology, so if that market is doing well, expect to see lower consumer hardware prices in the future. But I think monetized porn is, itself, taking a beating lately. ()

Is that an unpopular opinion anyway ? Hype took its toll and wooed some people but it really didn't look like it was ready for primetime yet.

[PlayDat]

Feminists are shallow and airheaded as fuck most of the time.

Some of you act like shitty opinions are inherently unpopular.  There's a ton of overlap between the two categories, but you can't always assume B from A.  It takes almost no effort to find throngs of dorks who agree with your feminist hot take.  Like is this your first day on the internet?

[mormapope]

Most of those dorks outright hate women and never talk about the depth of feminism/feminists, they just shit on women in general. If i said "feminism is stupid " you'd have a point, but i didn't.

You got mad at some innocuous ass comment,  and you're asking if its my first day on the internet? Lulz.

[Madrun Badrun]

Housing should be a right.  And wanting houses to act as an investment is wrong.  We should all be wanting housing to become less expensive.

This is the unpopular opinion thread.  Lots of people agree with your comment (which I don't believe is at all innocuous).  Just cuz they're terrible people doesn't mean they don't exist.  You've got company.  Sad, shitty, company but company nonetheless.

[mormapope]

Didn't even say feminsm was bad! I also dont spend a lot of time reading what pol or subreddits say about women 

Thanks for putting words in my mouth and assuming the worst of me though. Fuck off.

I never accused you of saying feminism is bad. I didn't put any words in your mouth. You made a common shitty comment and incorrectly suggested it was rare.  Most of the people who would characterize feminists the way you have are trash.  I didn't say anything about you in particular and I don't regret any of my replies.

I walk around astounded by the economy. Housing is way out of the price range of people with a median wage. Healthcare and Education prices have 10-20+% increases yearly. Meanwhile people are largely making the same amount of money they made 10 years ago. Cell prices and Internet prices are very high and are in essence new utilities that didn't really exists too long ago. I feel like an idiot but I'm not able to see what's keeping the whole thing afloat. It really should have collapsed again a few years ago.

[Rufus]

Private debt, in your case. The ship's going to go sideways again, it's just a matter of time.

[VomKriege]

I still don't buy that as an excuse. The isolation involved with using it regularly is on a level most people won't get used to, especially in an age where most popular apps and tech has a social bent to it.

No matter the price, the main hurdle will always be having something covering your eyes and surroundings. It's the fundamental flaw with VR.

Oh, i'm not disputing that. When I said it was not "ready for primetime", I'm not implying it ever will be. Whatever the future of VR is, I think skepticism about this generation of devices was common.

We should all stop pretending and just accept that everyone does a 4 day work week.

this shit is only true for people with office jobs, the laziest "hard-working" people out there

[Rufus]

The only way it could work for manual labour is if employers were willing to hire more workers to make up the difference. Robots will have taken over before that's even close to happening. I'm looking forward to the interim powered exoskeleton future.

[Mupepe]

No longer true for me. 30% RIF in a support services group means everyday is a Monday.

Even for real jobs 4 ten hour shifts is better than a five day work week

[chronovore]

Ozzy Osborne's Voodoo Dancer is a Beatles song. The edgiest thing about it is pretending that it's not a Beatles song and pretending that it's metal.

[brawndolicious]

We should also accept that there is no point in advertising your humility, knowledge, or common sense when you're lower on the totem pole at a job. You'll only get credit for the new shit.

When I was much younger I would send cold call emails on Fridays thinking this was the best day to send them until I realized how many people check the fuck out by like 11am on a Friday.

A couple days ago a regulator wouldn't answer the phone after 5 tries and I got all scared of there being a violation since I got saddled with the lead testing in schools program. A new Flint-inspired program.

Database admin says don't worry about it, we put 2 weeks delay on our results for a reason.

[I'm a Puppy!]

I must admit that most of the really really attractive people I know are pretty dumb. A small handful of them are pretty smart but by and large the majority of very attractive people I know tend to be rather dumb and frankly, rather bad at relationships mainly because their focus tends to be on getting by on appearance so they've never had to try to do anything else. Sometimes that's intentional, sometimes not. I had one friend tell me that she didn't realize how her looks had put her life on easy mode until she was mostly through college and moved in with some new roommates and she saw how difficult it was for them to make friends, get dates, get help, etc etc. I can't really blame her. I guess it's not easy being really, really ridiculously good looking.

Now that's just good advice.

iced sweet tea is an abomination.

Coffee and beer tastes like garbage and piss.

[Madrun Badrun]

I never liked beer until I started drinking stuff I liked.   I suggest learning to like coffee then find a beer that tastes like coffee.

I'm checked out for at least half of every other Monday too.

[etiolate]

Yeah I just took Mondays off at a job because I know it'd be unproductive work. I'm actually productive on Fridays.

[Valkyrie]

Coffee and beer tastes like garbage and piss.

You taste like garbage and piss.

I miss beer.

You'll never know.

[Valkyrie]

I'd overdose on coffee if it tasted as nice as it smells.

[Valkyrie]

Have you tried different brews of coffee? Often I find that people who don't like your average roast end up loving different types.

Tried some different ones. Not exactly sure what it was, just basic coffee probably. I don't think I like coffee because I'm very fond of sweet flavors. So the nearest I've enjoyed is white mocha from Starbucks, because it's really sweet. It probably doesn't qualify as coffee.

Even tried traditional Ethiopian coffee while in Ethiopia. Not my thing, unfortunately.

[Positive Touch]

Just thought of what is by far my most unpopular opinion: Triceratops > T-Rex.

Triceratops is the coolest dinosaur.

fuck u bitch the real answer is stegosaurus

[brawndolicious]

Stegosaurus or T-rex sex is probably at really awkward angles. You can't be cool if you're frustrated all the time.

Arvie, they prefer to be called Jews.
