- Marvel/Star wars movies are just dumb fun.
Any word used to describe a group today will be considered a slur in 20 years.I think the unpopular part of this is that it will take 20 years for this. I suspect 2-5.
- Acting is mostly about being good looking enough to get someone to give you the chance. Most people if given the resources and time that most actors are given could deliver as good an acting job as a vast majority of actors (there are of course a few exceptions for true talent like Meryl Streep, Daniel day-lewis, etc)
- Marvel/Star wars movies are just dumb fun. People trying to ascribe criticism to them about artistic or social elements are silly. Kinda like doing an in-depth review of a candy bar. Same goes 99% of games. Don't waste time discussing the gender issues of Doom. Just get in there and kick ass.

- Blade Runner didn't need to be edited 4 or 5 different times. The theatrical ending was fine as is and more interesting than trying to give a definitive conclusion on the protagonist.

Huh? The ending from the non-theatrical cut versions are arguably less conclusive than the theatrical cut ending. And there's really only two other cuts: the 90s Director's Cut [which Ridley Scott wasn't involved with] and 2007's Final Cut [which he was involved with].
* Shit uninformed opinions included.
Got the impression that the theatrical cut didn't really comment on Deckard while much of the Scott ones were more clear that we were supposed to understand he's a replicant (which IMO is counterproductive and totally misses the point, namely that Replicants are humans, philosophically speaking).
The 92 DC includes the unicorn symbol which suggest Deckard is a replicant. Likewise in the Final Cut.
Stranger Things was absolute garbage.

As much as you say that it won't happen to you, everything you will listen to for the rest of your life will be based on the music you liked when you were 14-18. You might find new band but they're just going to be variations on what you liked then

Add to that there's a fairly limited window in which we find music that we really really love, which is somewhere between 13 years old and maybe 20 for most people. If you don't discover something within that window you're going to like it much less than you would have if you'd heard it during that time.

Rogue One was pretty good.
Nolan's Batman was great. Perfect mix of taking it seriously and still being about a superhero. Action scenes suck though.
Iron Man 3 was great and fuck people who's main point of criticism is "well it's not like the original material".
Internet media Criticism should be more positive.
Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game series.

I don't think the theatrical cut even hinted at the possibility that Deckard wasn't human. The other cuts included the unicorn dream that Deckard has which, when combined with the origami unicorn that Deckard finds in his apartment at the end of the movie, suggest that Deckard could be a replicant and Gaff [Edward James Olmos' character] knew about it. But it's not really cut and dry, though, and apparently Ridley Scott and Harrison Ford still argue about it all the time.

-Most liberals need to learn how to converse with people who don't agree with them instead of just calling them 'racist' or 'cishet scum' or 'shitlord' or whatever the popular liberal insult of the day is.
-Western/euro RPGs are usually poop. Combat generally feels janky as fuck, where you can whiff an enemy but still damage them, or you can directly hit them but the 'dice roll' in the background says you miss so you end up actually missing. The settings are generally Lord of the Rings cliches, the pretentious hippie elves, the dwarves who love to drink, the town of thatched huts where everyone has some sort of plague, lots of boring political drama. Character designs tend to be ugly and forgettable too, especially those with a 'make your own character'.

I have a bi friend who says that everyone is bi (or at least bi-curious). It's just their societal and religious upbringings that force people to put those feelings down. He uses this to explain why women seem to be more comfortable with bi-curiousity than men because men have this "be manly! being with a guy isn't manly!" pressure.
I thought he was crazy at first. Now, I'm not so sure I disagree. I mean, I'll be honest, I would've slept with David Bowie if he had asked, because he's fucking David Bowie. So there is a bar I guess for me, it's just so high that in effect I'm 100% straight. As I've discussed with more and more people, I'm finding everyone has a bar, the ones that are bi-curious just have it lower than other people. So maybe my friend is right, it's just a matter of where your bar is and if you're willing to lower it to realistic expectations.
Kill Bill volume 1 is Tarantino's worst movie.
Inglorious Basterds isn't that good and has serious issues. The only good storyline in the movie is the stuff with Shashona.
Tarantino is not very good period.Yup. Exactly this.
Kill Bill volume 1 is Tarantino's worst movie.
Inglorious Basterds isn't that good and has serious issues. The only good storyline in the movie is the stuff with Shashona.
That's not really controversial though ? I love ...Basterds but it's uneven (as is Django) : it just hits some tremendous highs and that's probably the one that convinced me that Tarantino is really smarter than I gave him credit for. There's some potent stuff of the power (or lack thereof) that cinema has, and he managed not to be crass while doing a satirical take on some of the touchiest historical subject matter.
I hate Death Proof but that's me and I was under the impression that a fair bit of people would consider Kill Bill his weakest and most derivative at a base level (Uma Thurman looks cool in the yellow and black jumpsuit but... it's just that). It has some cool scenes -The ending is a fun action scene and riff on yakuza-eigas- but it's by the numbers. The second part has its issues but I felt a lot more soul to it if only for the whole coffin thing.
FF13 is absolute trash.
General opinion, I think.The best Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown. The second best is Reservoir Dogs.
Haven't seen Jackie Brown yet but RD is underrated in his filmography IMO. It's my fave.Nintendo hasn't put out a good machine since the Gamecube.

Sexuality is a scale like Tasty said.My bi-friends argument is that the completely gay/completely straight people are a VAST minority and everyone else is close to the center of that scale (they just don't know it)
There are those who are completely gay or completely straight. There's people like me who are bi and have a vast preference for one sex over the other. I for instance would fuck a chick but just can't see myself in a relationship with one and every relationship with a woman has reinforced this. Then there's those who are 50-50 even split in terms of attraction. Then there's the people who swing one way but man, that one one exception really tickles the attraction muscle.

-The only reason anyone cared about Ghostbusters 2016 was because of the dumb, possibly made-up by the studio, "controversy" over its all-female lead cast. It is otherwise forgettable, like most other recent unnecessary movie remakes.This is the popular opinion. Hence the outrage over the movie since its announcement. The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 54% and the IMDB is also exactly 5.4/10 weirdly enough. Most people either didn't like it or thought it was okay at best.

It doesn't make you special. Shut up about it and listen.

I just have a hard time believing a black jazz fan doesn't know the difference between Coltrane and Thelonius Monk. Or even bragging about the act of listening to jazz when jazz is apart of your culture as a package deal.
-A lot of white people aren't doing good or benefiting from "privilege" and many minority movements seem completely oblivious or dismissive of this. I'm not going to make the argument that "economic uncertainty" was the dominant factor for Trump winning. Yea a lot of race shit played a big role. But I'm talking about this idea that all or most white people are doing good, which plays into the general view that these are forgotten people that no one gives a shit about/knows exists.
If you're in some former steel or car plant town that has died due to unions being weakened/jobs shipped overseas/etc, your kids are hooked on heroin or meth, you can't afford your meds, etc...you probably don't think you have much privilege and I wouldn't blame you. Your privilege surely exists for shit like "not being shot by the police for nothing" and various other things, but truth be told you're in a fucked up situation with little hope still, and having some fancy effete white due on Vox.com explain to you why you're actually privileged isn't the best way to reach you.
When I did the Census in 2010 we ventured into a lot of pockets of my city that I had never been to, full of poor white people. Imagine the L of living in a country built to your benefit and still not being shit brehs. Imagine having your washing machine on your front porch, buying Eminem albums in the aughts, legit putting mayo on various foods, not liking onions or garlic (one of the biggest signs of being a food plebe)...

Plenty of white people were huge contributors to jazz. Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Buddy Rich, Chet Baker, to name a few. Evans was on Kind of Blue.

"Everyone" was meant in the "vast sensible majority". Much like everyone knows Nazi Germany did exterminate millions of people, firstly jews, but you'll still get negationist shitheads sending threats. Though there's an argument of a large a segment the vocal minority really is, I guess.
I'm not quite well versed in the whole thing, but she mostly leaned on crowdfunding for her work, didn't she ? One may disagree it makes a difference but I'd say it's a little bit different than being paid or selling a product to a price. I always found crowdfunding fraught with ambiguities. That said, I'd agree I wouldn't pass summary judgement on the basis of (purely speculated) intent. I think bork may have an issue with her being a popularizer of basic feminism views lagging much behind where the field might be in academics where all the real thinking is happening ?
- privelage is a flawed argument/concept. According to those who use it, I have no privelage despite coming from a middle class/upper middle class family. I participated in organization like Jack and Jill and Top Teens as a teenager. Organizations that gave me an upper hand in leadership opportunities because my mother paid my dues. But according to many who use the privelage argument I'm not privileged over even rural white peoole who don't have that type of resource. Even if you want to argue that, I still clearly have privelage over many black people. But according to many who use the argument, I don't.

Are you saying they're gay and therefore I'm a man? :yeshrug I disagree. I also consciously don't date bi men. :yeshrugNo, I'm saying we have to determine/define what straight is and whether the guys you've been with actually fall into the category before they've slept with you. If we believe that there's such a thing as "exclusively heterosexual" dudes, you'd have to identify them, seduce them, make it known that you're not cis, and then see if those who are genuinely surprised (they'd be useless otherwise) and don't back out are in the majority.[/amateurscienticianing]

On tinder and ok Cupid I'd put it in my profile. If they didn't read it they'll be all like "omg" when I tell them but most can be pacified by charm and good looks. On one occasion I got banned from tinder for "lying about my details". Dude was really mad. But the rest warmed up to it. On OK Cupid, I'd put the same detail. I actually went on multiple dates with different men who previously didn't see it, and just went for it. My bf is very straight and he said that if he knew I was T before talking to me he would never even sent a message. But when we get to know each other and he found out, he didn't give a shit. Also a lot of the men who are like "no cheeseburgers!" are the ones who are the most persistent towards intercourse before I tell them. Going from sending me unsolicited rock hard dick pics to "I wouldn't feel good about having sex with a cheeseburger" is always hilarious. Riiiight.- almost all straight men who say they wouldn't fuck a trans woman absolutely would and I can tell you this first hand.What you've actually found out there is that men you've slept with (I assume) lied or were in denial about where they are on the Kinsey scale.

Forgot those even exist. Here's a gaming one:
- While I love games like Gears of War and Uncharted, both series are pop corn games and nothing more. Fun rides but not what i'd consider top tier among shooters(any FPS game worth a damn is better at that aspect) or as action games(where character action reigns supreme). People swearing by them or calling them the best games around baffle me. They're really fun, but nothing worth excessive hype.
I don't like DeRay and most BLM "leadership" because of how the organization is ran, their lack of any real tangible goals beyond police brutality, their lack of solutions to end any of the conditions that contribute to police brutality. They're a single issue organization when police brutality isn't a single issue problem. DeRay despite his good intentions, has lead young black people into an organization with no solution or long term goals. They just made a list of goals in 2016.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't really think of Black Lives Matter as an organization as much as a series of loosely connected protests. "Membership" can entail as much as establishing a relationship with your local police department and government representatives, plus speaking to mainstream media about your concerns, or as little as tweeting a hashtag. More clearly defined goals, messaging, and plans of action would definitely help a lot. They may have taken years to produce Campaign Zero (which started in 2015), but that leaves me hopeful for a more effective future. While I don't agree with 100% of their methods at the present, the protests are routinely successful at attracting widespread attention i.e. the whole point of protesting.

All Natural stuff(afro or other AA type of hair) is'nt attractiveI'm annoyed, but I'm not surprised at all to hear this from you.
TextA lot of this is true, and say that as someone who has had own mental struggles. I am there for my friends who need me, but if someone becomes way too negative to the point where it's starting to affect me, I have to back off. There also some who end up manipulating friends because they're just.. Too messed up. It really does suck knowing a lot of people don't get the help they need. And a lot of these are young people who think life is over, and that there is nothing left for them. They just don't see reasons, only bad things. I know, I was there. And I'm pretty fucking thankfull I'm still alive today.
I get the mental illness post. But some people are just not good people. For example, I was talking to a coworker that one of my exes had gotten some help for her mental illness and it was surprising to see how much better she was doing and that I was happy for her and that I hoped it continued. My worker asked if I thought if she had gotten help earlier would we still be together I said, "They can make a pill for depression. But there's no pill for 'bitch'"Dayyyymn.
I don't know why you're tying to ride my dick here, but I'm not sure what your source of confusion is. Internet criticism of these nerd things seems to rely on lame nitpicking or thought less "it's not like what it's based on". Both are extremely lame. Too many critics seem to aboid the positives of something, what a work does on it's own instead trying to hammer at what it fails at.Rogue One was pretty good.Nolan's Batman was great. Perfect mix of taking it seriously and still being about a superhero. Action scenes suck though.
Once again, these are the general opinions...Iron Man 3 was great and fuck people who's main point of criticism is "well it's not like the original material".
Internet media Criticism should be more positive.

*Not sure if narcissism falls under mental illness.As usual, if it's bad enough to disrupt your life:
According to the DSM-5, "Many highly successful individuals display personality traits that might be considered narcissistic. Only when these traits are inflexible, maladaptive, and persisting and cause significant functional impairment or subjective distress do they constitute narcissistic personality disorder."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder

That being said, it always helps to talk to someone, open up about your problems. Very soon you'll realize you're definitely not alone on things.
I get the mental illness post. But some people are just not good people. For example, I was talking to a coworker that one of my exes had gotten some help for her mental illness and it was surprising to see how much better she was doing and that I was happy for her and that I hoped it continued. My worker asked if I thought if she had gotten help earlier would we still be together I said, "They can make a pill for depression. But there's no pill for 'bitch'"

The 3310 is an old Nokia phone. Or the Nokia phone, rather. Legendary durability.Excuse me, the 3210 is the Nokia phone. 3310 was only memorable because it was the first vibrating Nokia. They're both legendary, but 3210 wins, in my opinion!
Scream the TV show is better than at least half of the movies.
To be fair, only the first was ever any good. And it wasn't even that good. I say this as a Wes Craven stanley. Never watched a show so can't comment on it.
Abstaining from wheat based foods is probably the best thing you could do for your gut health.spoiler (click to show/hide)Well... at least it is for me. I feel like I'm shitting thorny turds whenever I eat too much wheat night before. :doge[close]
Adam Sandler actually did a few good movies. The Wedding Singer, Billy Maddison, Big Daddy, Anger Management and Mr. Deeds were fun, imo. Maybe I forgot to mention one or two more. Most of his movies are very predictable and often boring/shitty, but I enjoyed the mentioned a lot! I actually like 50 First Dates too, and have watched it a billion times, but acknowledge that it's probably seen as Sandler-trash.

This whole "LOL white people!" thing is bad and alienating. I swear if you replaced "white" with any other race in most sentences that people write like that it would not be acceptable at all. A few weeks ago for example my wife was talking about her concerns about police brutality and was told "We don't need white people's condescension" by some women. Ignoring the fact that she's a mom of half latino kids, one of whom is autistic and might have problems interacting with a cop. Her opinion didn't matter because she's white, and the fact that she wants to look out for her bi-racial kids is condescension. I get the "white girl feminism" thing, and it's very true in cases, but unilateral dismissing is not ok. Division is what got us here. Adding more division isn't going to get us out.Two pages ago you said you wanted to bring back colonialism.
Why does it have to be white colonialism? I never said that.lol white people

I love my "lol white people" jokes. But they're definitely are people who think you can just hate on white people now for being white instead of the being "white". It's condescending, sure. But it's some dumb opinion that you can write off like a Boondocks scene(you know the one).
My sister pulls the same shit, then I point out that she's basically a liberal arts white girl who listens to The Smiths and wears Joy Division shirts(because she literally is that) and laugh at her rage.
Why does it have to be white colonialism? I never said that.
Indian colonialism :lawd
Indians speak an Indo-European language. Makes them as white as the Irish in my opinion.

- Beer? Is "meh" Everyone always says it's because I just haven't had the right beer. So I try what they suggest and am just like "meh" at the end.
This whole "I'm an introvert and that's OK!" thing is really more harmful than helpful. I get it, it's good for you to be unashamed and accept who you are but you gotta work on your shit. I can't stand it when people are like "I'm INFJ! I don't interact with others well! So shut up and let me be what I am!" Then a little while later they're like "Puppy, why can't I just find someone to love me?" Well fuck, you just told everyone to get lost and respect your introvertedness. I get it, I'm introverted too, but man you gotta work on your shit, compensate for your weaknesses, be a better person than you were. You might be 10 different kinds of awesome on the inside, but if people have to wade through 22 layers of bullshit to find that out, guess what? No one is going to take the time to find out.
I had Paulaner and Schnider Weisse (german beers) for the first time this past year and really enjoyed them. Wheat beers are right in my wheel house for some reason.

Fuck bending over for others. I'm an introvert. I don't complain about being alone. I tried the whole pretend around others thing for years. I was less happy. I am myself, people learn to love it or not.
There's a certain point where "working on yourself" turns into "you end up not yourself" and then everyone around you can't handle you when you're real. This is a less happy existence.
And if you really are difficult to bare, then it's unfair to force that upon others.

Hey, if you're alone and cool with it. Fine. No problem there. But if you're a person that expects everyone to make extra efforts for you because reasons, don't come back and be like "Why am I alone?!!"
But enough about you, Andy. :-*
Whining about people being “too sensitive” is it’s own form of sensitivity. The biggest difference is that unlike most others, it’s usually fueled by ignorance.Eh, being like "Some one wrote Trump 2016 in chalk on campus! I feel threatened!!" and being called out for being silly doesn't make one ignorant. Too many people are like "You are not allowed to feel offended at my feeling offended!" It is in essence saying "You're not allowed to invalidate my feelings, so I'm going to invalidate yours). And that is used to give people carte blanche where everything is a valid argument. It's the kind of argument stopping fallacy that leads to the bubble that let Trump win. Keep in mind there is some true ignorance out there (all lives matter and others) but telling everyone that their offense at yours is ignorant is in essence making everything into a mountain, so any sense of scale is lost to anyone not in your inner circle. Like I keep saying it's a the Syndrome syndrome, where everything is offensive, nothing is.
There's no alcoholic beverages that are pleasant to drink in the same way tea, soda or other flavoured drinks are. I only drink merlot because i'm over the 'got used to it' hump and I believe it to have positive effects on digestion in moderation

Oh I'm with you. I'm like "You sow hate, you get hate." I get that. But, here's the thing. To say that people are ignorant that don't understand that. I mean I get that technically it's true, but at the same time just saying "They're ignorant" :snob is counter productive. Just what in a conservative's privileged-rural-middle class-soccer mom life would give them the ability to know what that all meant? They're not getting it at home and from their community, the great white flight has made their communities homogenous, they're not getting it in school because the same issue, when they go to college they either go to conservative colleges or when they go to college they join young republicans and their probably only interaction with a liberal is someone shouting about something that makes no sense to the mind of a conservative. And they're certainly not getting it from liberals in their smug thrones in ivory towers talking about how everyone else is ignorant. It's somewhat akin to taking someone that's only been a farmer their whole life and laughing at them because they don't know how to declare variables in C++. This is exactly why if Trump doesn't get impeached he'll be a two term president and likely hold both houses. There is a cancer in American liberalism where we've become enthralled by the echo of our theory and have forgotten we need to not only put it in practice but also message things in a way that people can see it benefitted them. Reagan is so loved by Republicans because he could steal your wallet and make you feel glad he took it off your hands.Whining about people being “too sensitive” is it’s own form of sensitivity.

Is that chalk example something that actually happened? Did someone say the writing “threatened” them? I’m asking because there’s a lot of straw manning in online arguments against progressives. If it’s made up then I’d appreciate a real world example. The worst I’ve ever seen was a few people fabricating stories of harassment in the days after the election. I wouldn’t even call that oversensitivity, it’s just plain old dishonesty.And that is used to give people carte blanche where everything is a valid argument.

I may just be misinterpreting what you said here, but these two sentences seem to directly contradict each other. Is sensitivity stopping arguments or making room for them?
Trump won because a large enough minority of voters weren’t sensitive enough to the needs of America’s women, lgbt communities, or people of color. If more people were offended by his behavior throughout 2016 (and our electoral system weren’t rigged in favor of the wealthy and white) he never would have had a chance at winning.
I didn’t say people are “not allowed” to complain about sensitivity, nor did I claim that “everyone[’s]” offense at mine was ignorant. My goal is to point out that this is one of the go-to defenses for people who wish to halt social progress. Embracing sensitivity is a good thing. I wish the “stop being so sensitive” crowd would give some specific reasons about why they disagree rather than make fun of people for expressing their emotions.
You want an example of when offense at an offense is totally valid? Look no further than Richard Spencer getting his ass clocked during that interview. There are some people offended that liberals are cheering about the assault. I found the video very amusing and am offended at the offended's inability to see the bigger picture. No, he shouldn’t have been punched, but his repugnant views are far more harmful in the long-run than what happened to him this weekend.
Maybe not unpopular for our US Boreans but speaking of which :
- Hate speech laws as they exist in some form or other in a lot of European countries are bad. France has one for Holocaust denialism, specifically, that bother me quite a bit (and not out of any sympathy for the opinion : by and large the "scientific" works have no merit and peddled by rabid antisemites). USA does the whole free speech thing much better.

I am a super taster so beer tastes terrible to me, and tea without sweetener tastes like bitter water. So does coffee. But with enough sugar and creamer in tea and coffee I can find it to be a very palatable drink.
All alcohol to me tastes bitter, wine tastes like vinegar, and the only drinks I can really handle are froufrou to be honest. If I get drunk I can drink rum straight but I suppose it's because my taste buds are deadened.
The American war against IS using the Kurdish YPG as a main ground force in Syria is legitimizing a non-state actor that uses child soldiers and ethnically cleanses cities they “liberate”. Additionally, the use of Iraqi Shia militias as a proxy army has led to the pillaging of Sunni cities, torture, and other human rights abuses. The much-condemned Russian bombing of Aleppo is basically what the US is doing in Mosul, but no one curr. IS will be destroyed but Sunni Arabs will still be disenfranchised and another violent group will replace them.

Reagan is so loved by Republicans because he could steal your wallet and make you feel glad he took it off your hands.So you take issue with my use of the word “ignorance.” I do honestly mean ignorance in it’s most technical sense. Most people are ignorant about most things. My original comment wasn’t aimed only at people who identify as conservative. Liberals do it too. A lot of forward thinking people fall into the trap of forgetting that having progressive views takes effort. They can easily recognize prejudice in their parents’ generation, but as their own world view becomes NORMALIZED :drudge they start wishing the following generation would prefer social inertia. I see it a lot on the Bore. I’m talking about sentiments like “I get how not everyone’s heterosexual, but those kids on tumblr are just making shit up.” To get more specific, take a look at the Overwatch thread about the ass pose (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=44078.0) or the Bore’s reaction to the Neogaf thread about Pokemon’s gender options (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=44500.msg2194970#msg2194970). Neither was an example of oversensitivity (I can expand on this if you’d like. I don’t want to make this single post too long).
Since the days of Bush Jr. I've dealt with my very conservative friends and family and have gotten more than a few to stop voting republican and everytime it was by acknowledging how the world must look to them and then asking them that since I had taken time to understand their viewpoint, for them to consider something slightly different. Being like "LOL! Ignorant schlub!" Never got me anywhere. Republican leadership is much smarter than the democrats and much more devious. They have computer models to gerrymander districts as effectively as possible in their favor. Democrats wont win another major election by maintaining the districts they already hold. They're going to have to bring people from red districts too, and that can't be done with the way the party is now.
For the passed 8 years I've had my conservative family and friends shouting about everything about Liberals and Obama. "Obama wants to institute martial law!" "He's going to take our guns away!" "They're setting up concentration camps in Wal-Marts!" "The ACA is bound for disaster!" "Hillary is going to lose big!" It was exhausting because every issue was treated like the end of the world that I didn't pay attention to the last two things, which they were technically right about (of course the issue with the ACA was the insurance brokers reacting after people didn't do as they were told and sign up for insurance, but they were right and I ignored it because it was just another thing in a massive pile of stuff)
Just what in a conservative's privileged-rural-middle class-soccer mom life would give them the ability to know what that all meant?

Got anything on the YPG and ethnic cleansing? Curious because they've become something of a topic of debate on the left (the tankies think they're a CIA front, but they think that about everyone).

It's basically been the same problem in Iraq since 2003, hasn't it? You start with three ethnic/cultural groups that lack the mutual trust or civic institutions to share power and resources peacefully (and who are backed by regional and international patrons with conflicting agendas) and shit spirals out from there.

oh cool a:( Sorry. It’s challenging sometimes to decide whether a conversation is worth veering in that direction. I usually don’t have it in me to respond to unpopular opinions regarding entertainment. I care deeply about music, but I feel the same way about how people treat other. My opinions on the latter influence how I discuss the former. If someone thinks an album I like sucks then I’ll leave them be unless an element of their argument against it is provably false. Not liking my beloved thing is always a valid opinion, as is not wanting to discuss politics all the time.thirdfourth politics thread :zzz

Kevin Smith is a great orator and Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Dogma are all legit great. (Clerks II is also pretty good.)
Clerks 1 and 2 plus Chasing Amy are legit great movies, while Mallrats is a good dumb teen sex comedy. I never liked Dogma much even though it's his most ambitious work. I have a love/hate relationship with the Jay & Silent Bob movie cause parts of it are legit trash while others are some of my favorites in thw askewniverse and I like some of the fanservice and callbacks. Overall, J&SB is a shitty movie though.
Nothing else he did matters, but Zack & Miri wasn't bad so much as it was mediocre.

Final Fantasy 8 is a great gameI dare say that people who think FFVIII is crap would be the unpopular ones.
Final Fantasy 9 and 12 are the worst and crap.:pacspit

The fuck slow battles and the stupid abilities tied to armor bullshit.

Huh? FF9's ability system is probably the easiest and least complex ability system out there. Equip armor and then learn ability. Thats' it.Yes, that one, I didnt say it was complex, I said it was garbage, cause it is.

No I don't, because I'm a critical path only player most of the time and had no problem getting pretty much all the noteworthy FF spells and abilities. Ultima, holy, fireaga.

People play differently? I'm not a grinder nor am I one of those dudes that finish RPGs at level 8999999999. I usually finish games with the minimum of levels while leaning strongly on status magic and abilities. See why this doesnt work for me?
People are a giant waste of time.until you learn to embrace the joys of schadenfreude :cody

People already die trying to cross the border, I imagine more walls and border patrol agents will increase that number.

You imagine that, but CBP says that after they put up a 18 foot wall on parts of the border there were immediately dozens of 19 foot ladders everywhere. They were collecting so many at their stations that they were eventually told them to just leave them.
Also, how many people die crossing the border? I believe it happens but I doubt it's very often. Lots of immigrants take a bus to the border town and then walk a short distance to the nearest CBP agent to seek asylum. Last week's This American Life had a good segment on this.
Unfortunately, direct violence, including killings by the border patrol and on the Mexican side, as cartels work to solidify control over profitable smuggling routes, does not even scratch the surface of the violence that surrounds the US–Mexico border. The border patrol has recovered more than 6,000 bodies there since the 1990s, deaths attributable to the construction of the border wall and the massive border patrol presence. Migrants are funnelled to more dangerous and remote locations, just like migrants at the edges of the EU. Instead of crossing in a city, migrants are making the arduous journey through the deserts of Arizona, hiking 50 or more kilometres through arid and desolate terrain. According to the first National Border Patrol Strategy document, released in 1994, that was the goal: “The prediction is that with traditional entry and smuggling routes disrupted, illegal traffic will be deterred, or forced over more hostile terrain, less suited for crossing and more suited for enforcement.” Put another way, the official border patrol strategy was to create conditions that would cause more migrants to die in hostile terrain, in order to deter other migrants from making the trip.
An agent scans the US-Mexico border at Sunland Park, New Mexico ... many thousands of migrants have perished in hostile terrain.
With the increased enforcement, crossings and migrant deaths in California declined, while those in Arizona surged. The Tucson, Arizona coroner’s office has seen a twentyfold increase in the number of migrant bodies found each year since the 1990s. Migrants do not bring enough food and water, often because smugglers, who do not want to be slowed down by the extra weight, tell them the trip is not very far. The harrowing result is documented in books such as The Devil’s Highway by Luís Alberto Urrea, which tells the story of 26 migrants who attempted to enter the US through the Arizona desert in May 2001. Only 12 survived. Leanne Weber and Sharon Pickering of the Monash University criminal justice programme estimate that there are two additional deaths for every recovered body, since remains are quickly obscured by shifting sands.

Legend Of Dragoon is utter trash. The graphics and FMV blinded fanboys. All JRPG's from the PSX era have fanbases, no matter how bad the game is.
Not only that but there's SO much a focus on STEM that people really haven't learned to "think". There's no creativity. Constantly with my employees and working with clients' employees I keep finding people that know the technical ins and outs but for the life of them can't figure their way out of even the most basic problems.
Of course, having been trained as a musician I say that the issue is that is the lack of any real arts/philosophy education and the over emphasis on STEM. I noticed this at the beginning of my career when I worked with employees from another country it was obvious that they were highly skilled in the "how" of things but never in the "why" of things and lacked creativity. Now I'm noticing it with younger US employees, this lack of creative know-how. I really think it's because we've shifted from an education that taught you to think to an education that teaches you a job skill.
The estate tax is not a tax on wealth but a tax on income that had been deferred until an involuntary conversion (death) caused it to be received.One reason some orthodox economists talk about it as a wealth tax (besides ideology/partisanship, obv) is that treating inter-generational income/spending/saving/etc. as decisions made by a single, immortal agent is actually a pretty common simplifying technique.
I kind of feel whitewashing is an overblown issue and it's usually white people complaining about it. I guess it's my background as a colored but white "passing" that I never feel like I can't relate or see myself in movies.
Related, but the Scar Jo whitewashing complaints were annoying. Japan appropriates everything and honestly Scar Jo would be the perfect choice for the Movie Major. She is good at playing cold, detached, and moody females. Which is what movie Major is. Too bad I'm not sure the live action movie will be doing that. I don't think a big Hollywood action movie could have a character so detached. Yeah I guess the problem is that Hollywood hasn't given many chances to Asian females and so there arent any to be considered, but as it stands Scar Jo really is a good choice.
They're thinking "You got Scarlett Johanson?! OK, I'll invest." People that will go see GitS because they know the material is a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the market. The people that will say, "Hey, an action movie with Scarlett Johanson? I'll go see that."

So I guess my unpopular opinion is: rationality probably isn't closest to the goofiest assumption economists make when smoothing down their models.
edit: on second thought, the way the models are completely reliant on stylized rationality is also p. dumb.

Eva is great and I refuse to believe that these supposed "people who are mentally healthy" exist. I assume everyone who pretends to be "normal" really just has a deeper mental illness they're concealingThat's all very true, but come now, there are definitely varying levels of illness. Someone might have depression while another has depression so bad it cripples their ability to have any meaningful relationships.

I'm too impatient for anime. Most of the stuff I've watched was super boring, with the exception of 2-3 shows. There are some (original) anime movies I've enjoyed though. But tbh anime just isn't for everyone.This is me. I can watch DBZ still mostly because of nostalgia and I enjoyed Akira and Grave of the Fireflies but I just can't sit through most. My wife's cousin is constantly recommending anime and so are a few friends. I usually give it a chance but it just doesn't hold my attention. I had a friend visit in December and he tried to get me into One Piece :donot

Anime doesnt have a consistent form so if people say 'i dont like anime' I just take it like they dont like moe shit or that they have no clue what they are saying, depending on the context of whom is the speaker.
You see the difference here is anime is a much wider genre than people give it credit for and certainly much wider than 'classic music' or 'horror films' it's closer to 'music' or 'films'. Not all anime is even drawn these days, which is why I interpret it as 'i dont like popular anime these days' , which to be honest is horrific garbage.Anime doesnt have a consistent form so if people say 'i dont like anime' I just take it like they dont like moe shit or that they have no clue what they are saying, depending on the context of whom is the speaker.
I don't think it's any less valid than "Classical music bores me" or "I don't like horror films". Yeah it's a blanket statement but there's enough commonality or shared essential point through X% of the production that it can make some sense.

I just don't think they're so special to have such a following :dogeME2 and ME3 simply play well and promise narrative reactivity (some of which they make good on), but I think the fan following is a result of their character writing (schlock, but tasty schlock (#teamscientistsalarian)), which has allowed them to keep in people's good graces despite their story telling faults. It's also the reason they started to pander more to fanfiction types going from ME to ME2. People really liked Garrus and Tali, so now in the sequel, you can work toward an awkwardly animated sex scene with them, too, despite the biological concerns exhaustively detailed in the first game. :ryker

First one sucked and turned me off the series, I hear the next entries are better and may eventually give them a shot
Yeah I meant missions. In ME2 it just felt they were sorta independent and disjointed and unaware of things that might/might not be going on. So you definitely got the feeling throughout that they made the beginning and the end and then they just had independent teams go out and do build their own missions as they saw fit.Yeah, there are like a handful of main plot related missions, so I can definitely see that. Intro, attack on the colony, getting the mcguffin to go through the relay (which you can do at a time of your choosing once it unlocks), the hamfistedly introduced crisis before the finale (which still pisses me off, one funny line notwithstanding) and then the finale itself. Very much bookending the whole recruitment portion.

Spicer was making a true if trivial point about Hitler just to say "using chemical weapons is extra bad." He then blundered badly while trying to defend himself due to his own incompetence and also the stress of being at the center of a holocaust outrage. It's fair to say that he sucks at his job but I don't think that Spicer was being malicious.
Well, my real unpopular opinion is that a lot of the outrage about it is pretty cynical. Maybe that's not an unpopular opinion either, but my group of friends was shocked at me for not interpreting his words in the worst possible way.Spicer was making a true if trivial point about Hitler just to say "using chemical weapons is extra bad."

Just to clarify: Your unpopular opinion is that Spicer was not being intentionally malicious, just incompetent?
Is that really an unpopular opinion, though? I feel like most people think this.You'd be surprised. I brought it up at work and everyone was like :neo
My unpopular opinion is that the press in America has no spine. As much as we like to rail against Spicer's incompetence, the American press is even more incompetent. That Spicer thing is a good example. They let him say stuff unchallenged then go back to their laptops then type up faux outrage pieces about it and tweets, because they'll get more followers that way than, you know, actually calling bullshit.
Zyklon B was a chemical weapon and Jews living in Germany were Germany's own people.I think that the turning away of refugees is disgusting and is one of the top reasons that I hate this administration. I also think that it's untrue and a terrible thing to say that Hitler didn't gas his own people, but to me it seemed obvious that that was Spicer panicking and slipping after finding himself in uncomfortable waters.
It's not a true if trivial point, it's the weaponization of mass suffering that coincidentally Americans exacerbated (by turning away refugees... where have I heard that recently?) and abetted (through companies like IBM) to justify more military intervention.
Zyklon B was a chemical weapon and Jews living in Germany were Germany's own people.I've vaguely heard about IBM assisting in the final solution through punch card technology, but I have honestly never come across the idea that the US somehow benefited from it due to it strengthening the cause for war (perhaps that's what you're saying). Honestly I thought that the Holocaust wasn't a major cause for the war from the perspective of the allied powers at the time.

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.This isn't the "well thought out scientifically based argument" thread :trumps
Arbitrary and convenient boundaries are the hallmark of pseudoscience though, so top marks on that.
Applesauce tastes great on fish sticks and cottage cheese makes an excellent chipdip.You sound like one of those people who think pita chips and hummus is a suitable substitute for chips and salsa.

Feminists are shallow and airheaded as fuck most of the time.
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 :smug " 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.
Didn't even say feminsm was bad! I also dont spend a lot of time reading what pol or subreddits say about women :lol
Thanks for putting words in my mouth and assuming the worst of me though. Fuck off.
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.

You'll never know.Coffee and beer tastes like garbage and piss.
You taste like garbage and piss.
I miss beer.
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.
Just thought of what is by far my most unpopular opinion: Triceratops > T-Rex.
Triceratops is the coolest dinosaur.

The Princess Bride is painfully average.
There are no cool dinosaurs.
There's nothing cool about a group of animals that mostly look like oversized featherless birds.

The Killing Joke wasn't even that good a book. Of course the movie didn't work. Don't get the hype. Must be nerdy fanbois salivating to those picturesI dont think anyone in my comic circle (there are lots) has anything but revulsion for Bruce Timm's killing joke. Cant say this is unpopular.

It never was. Alan Moore himself never thought highly of it either, and considering how smug he can be about his other work that should tell you something. It just has some choice quotes, cool moments, and a pretty cool(and debatable) ending.

Assassin's Creed as a series stifles the creativity of it's development team, the settings they choose and videogames in general. It takes cool ideas and locations we either haven't seen before or haven't see in a while turning them into the same checklist open world, automated gameplay you've played since 2007. It should have stopped with the revised history aspect after Ezio's last game and went with Desmond as a lead in a pseudo futuristic modern world like it was clearly aiming for as a finale.Yeah. 100%. It was surprising to me that Watchdogs became this story about privacy and social networking, when it clearly could have been the adaptation of Desmond's near-future, high-tech and parkour game that you and I both thought was coming.
Assassin's Creed Origins would be my most anticipated game ever if it wasn't more AssCreed garbage. People asking for feudal era Japan or any other interesting setting for the series should instead hope for new IP's to take advantage of it.
I do not like the art style of Super Mario Odyssey, which, up until E3, was not an unpopular opinion. :doge
Is it just the realistic human characters in that one zone? Or do you mean the entire game?
The book was originally pitched to Moore to do his own version of an origin story for The Joker as a one shot. But it was so popular and it arguably rescued the Barbara character from being cast aside even though Moore now thinks that was the worst part of it and doesn't think it was ever any good. (Bolland was the reason it was even done, Moore did it as a favor, and even Bolland didn't like the finished book.)The Killing Joke wasn't even that good a book. Of course the movie didn't work.

Just to be clear, Puppy is talking about Moore's work, and Momo means the animated adaptation, right?
Was the book originally supposed to be part of the main DC continuity, or is that just something that got worked in after-the-fact?

My man. :respect
What flavor?
How dare you call instant noodles "ramen". The wapanese inside me is screaming.
Most Americans think "ramen" are those fried noodles awaiting rehydration, with MSG-based soup.i wish, it's just salt not real delicious MSG
Instant ramen is one of those foods with the greatest performance gaps I know. I want the cheap American effort free level like Maruchan or we're going to start talking stuff where I can't read the flavor because there's no English on the package and the clerk can't help because they don't really speak English either. But there's a whole array of in between level stuff that is usually just the worst that tries to tempt you with this whole facade of "we found the secret key to making this worth 25 cents instead of 20 that Maruchan hasn't!" and it's always garbage.Regarding the bolded, I do this as well with certain flavors.
Blew a roommates mind in college when I added my own spices (and a chopped green onion) to Maruchan once and he was like "I didn't know you could do that!" And I was like...why couldn't you, it's just a packet of spices not magic dust. (Or is it?)
Had also figured one time it was going to be cheaper to buy the twelve pack and not use the flavoring packs than buy just actual noodles (that I wanted) and those would probably not be worth the price premium. It was a Wal-Mart so general selection was limited. Worked out great, except for the whole part where I had twelve Chicken flavor packages. Had I known about the later roommate I should have saved them and dared him to use all of them with one package of ramen.
Here's an actual unpopular opinion, I sometimes like to actually strain out most of the broth with some of the flavors. Especially if I have toppings to mix in. Like the shrimp flavor I hated as broth for a long time, too potent, no idea if it's changed.

What I do is drain the water and then sprinkle the package on the ramen and the let the spices sit on the ramen. Then they sink into the ramens interior and the noodles get dark and then I mix it in. Way delicious.

The person or persons that made this video and posted it on you tube you are sick and need help!
Trans means "non-binary" to tumblrites because they've stolen the words "trans" and "cis" from their bio-chemistry context, wherein it makes sense. "Trans" means "not the same" and "cis" means "same-same", in crudely explained terms. Stealing this definition from the hard sciences has allowed social justice idiots to think that "trans" can mean anyone who is "non-binary," which in reality just means someone who doesn't like things being categorized as "boy" or "girl" and "rejects gender [roles]".
It's a fun little piece of obfuscation, because people with actual gender dysphoria, especially those who have undergone transition (i.e. Blaire White) are completely shocked, confused, and offended by this watering down of "trans." It's led "transgenderism" to be simultaneously cool and a "wide umbrella" of "gender identities and sexualities" - all of which are made up and have no scientific testing behind them. As per usual with feminism, it's a pile of conclusions that have led from very shaky premises, namely, the untested hypothesis that "all gender is a social construct", and therefore, "I don't like traditional ideas of gender, I reject them, therefore I am non-binary, therefore I am not cis, therefore I am trans" (without any real body or gender dysphoria).
Speaking of trans
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=248845559&postcount=312
My stance is, I try to be as supportive as I can to trans and NB folks. I don't understand their plight as much as I wish I did.
An actual unpopular opinion I have, though I'm open to changing, is that gender dysphoria should be treated like other mental disorders in the DSM. I don't mean this in a hurtful or mean way, but I believe that if people suffering from it could somehow be "cured" then that would result in a much better life for them.
Since the comparison may be made, I should say at this point I feel this is different from "curing" homosexuality. In a completely accepting culture, homosexuals have nothing to fear or change about themselves. Gender dysphoria sufferers by definition will always feel a compulsion to change their biology until they are able to do so, and the technology to perfectly achieve this is not here yet.
Sorry if I'm base about this. It is something I've tried to give a lot of careful thought to.

You don't get fully cured from dysphoria.
Ehhh, I don't know. On one hand, sure. Being trans is hard. On the other hand, I don't see it as any different than offering a gay person a pill that'll make them straight.

Gender dysphoria sufferers by definition will always feel a compulsion to change their biology until they are able to do so, and the technology to perfectly achieve this is not here yet.
And ultimately, we don't have that option. What we do have is transition. If we are talking hypotheticals though, as a trans person, I'd much rather there be technology that changes you so that if you were you born with a penis it turns into a vagina and you grow ovaries and vice versa. That way, I can have my cake and eat it too without making trans people not exist. Any trans person would choose that option. If we're talking hypotheticals, why not shoot for pie in the sky?
And on the very next play, going for the two-point conversion that would have won us the championship I broke my ankle. God was punishing me for being prideful.
He didn't give me a fatal heart attack because he still wanted me to sell propane. But He made his point.
I'll be honest, I don't understand most of the trans stuff. Not in an old man yelling at cloud type of way, just the variances between the different groups and cultures. In the end I just try to be respectful and when it comes up and not say something stupid or potentially offensive. But I read your post and I have no clue what you're talking about unfortunately.

I was an asshole yesterday about the stuff I said about nb's. Definitely took my frustrations on another group.
That makes me wonder.. do hermaphrodites typically identify with one gender only? Are a lot of them NB (assuming that's what NB means)? Asking because I don't know, but wanna learn.

I’ve met thousands of binaries and most of them are a huge pain in the ass. They created this stupid thing called “gender” and force it on every single person they meet. They get huffy the one time they meet someone who dares to challenge their pointless construct. Like okay, I get that you submitted to one of the made up categories other people chose for you, but you don’t have to go ON and ON about it. :goty2

The idea that gender is made up when it's a core part of one's identity is one of the most bullshit elements of queer ideology. Just my opinion. Gender roles are made up. Not gender itself. Otherwise you'd be out there in a skirt and fishnets.

I don't know, I've seen a lot of people singing it (the second one) praises online, but I just saw it and was pretty unimpressed. Too many forced emotional moments, deus ex machinae all around, egregious suspension-of-belief-breaking movie physics, and yes it was somewhat boring. I guess I should have written that it's overrated if anything.
Well now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. Bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.

Clothing happens to be more profitable when you gender it though.
and in 2 the characters are a bit more self-aware that they're fun and cool characters who say amusing things which always happens to these films

Depends on what you mean by seafood. For me there's a pretty steep line between what i like and hate. Most cooked or otherwise prepared seafood is great, even mildy fried sushi is very good. Raw or salted on the other hand will probably make me vomit.

Their first album was absolutely great. It seems like Amy Lee and that one other dude are convinced that they are everything that made the band great. When the rest of the band went on to form We Are the Fallen, I was super stoked to get more of exactly what I like from Evanescence’ first album.

Pretzel dipped in chocolate pudding is tasty. I know 80% of "normal" people shrink away in horror at the thought.

Their SG&A isn't good. Also, they have production problems in meeting demand, they have a huge R&D cost and given the bleeding edge nature of their tech, economies of scale never really kick in for them. I believe they keep doing these huge events/announcements just to get an dumb investor bump and that's why they have to do it every 6 months. Unless they turn it around it's just a game of who buys them out. (which right now most auto manufacturers don't have that kind of money, and the ones that do don't need Tesla)

Also, they have production problems in meeting demand, they have a huge R&D cost and given the bleeding edge nature of their tech, economies of scale never really kick in for them. I believe they keep doing these huge events/announcements just to get an dumb investor bump and that's why they have to do it every 6 months. Unless they turn it around it's just a game of who buys them out. (which right now most auto manufacturers don't have that kind of money, and the ones that do don't need Tesla)
Yup. I agree with this. It’s not clear that this company is going to be able to stay in business.
Mine is that crypto currency is a total scam that isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Long term I think the price of all currencies trends towards zero.

Doesn't work like that
Mostly genetics and luck tbh
I feel like an idiot when I save and invest for my retirement. How much is it worth to have a comfortable retirement? If I save a million dollars (lol) for my retirement, if I'm in my 60s will the quality of life be so poor that it wouldn't be worth it? I see some decrepit fucks walking around and I wonder if the best retirement plan is a loaded gun. If someone has to help me wipe my ass as an adult, it's time for me to go. I'm a degenerate loser so I have no kids so I assume the money goes to the state where it will undoubtedly get pissed away on something stupid. Maybe at some point at some age (say, 50 or 55), I cash out, blow all my money, and then blow my brains out. Seems preferable to being an octogenarian stashed away in a nursing home somewhere.
Bumping this thread because I had two on my mind lately:Testify! :preach
- Any movement/scene/music genre/fashion/etc. that calls itself "post-something" is pretty much worthless categorization. Out of the gate it pigeon holes itself within an already well established archetype/idea in an unimaginative way while trying hard to differentiate itself in the same way a little kid who still tries to imitate his older brother would. Calling something "post-punk" for example doesn't change the fact that it's still "punk", there's nothing post about it. It's just like saying 2010's Punk but nobody wants to be VH1.
- Videogames, Comic books and anime are inherently schlocky. Sure, you can have something in all three be Avant-garde, high art, whatever and succeed but it doesn't change any of the three's main strengths are rooted in aspects best explored through pulp entertainment.
