In my experience there seem to be four types of people: those who don't have a lawn; those who have never heard of clover on lawns; those with clover on their lawns; and those who live under the unrelenting glare and iron thumb of a homeowner's association.

Clovers are great, they give bees something to land on in the barren wasteland of lawns that is my neighborhood. I also usually let whatever random plants/weeds that pop up grow in the peripherals. If they can manage to thrive in my nonexistent gardening then they deserve to be there.

I got hit with this by an elderly person one day. They went on about how there's so much food out there that they could just forage for, but they choose to beg for it. I was working, so all I could do was smile and nod, but that smile was just frozen in place like a grimace.

During this whole rant my boss and I kept glancing at each other like they were insane. I can't remember the exact details, I cleansed my brain of that garbage, but there were a few times my boss' eyes flashed and I thought he was going to flip out.

They left like they were the avatar of mercy and understanding. I may have forgotten what they said exactly, but I'll never forget how they looked, because that went right down in my mind under "people I'll never become". I mean... you have to actively try to become that ignorant, right?

...Right?

Even if people did choose to do so, it should be a huge red flag to happen then. If people would rather sleep on the street than participate in society, maybe shit is fucked up.

At work we had the radio on in the workshop, and we were discussing my preference for 90s music.

Then some shite song came on that I remembered from decades past, and I had to add "but as you can hear, there was plenty of garbage back then too"

Yeah! This one has always bothered me!

That cave painter really must've thought he was The shit.

No-one’s out here reading trashy sentimentalist novels because they aren’t good, but they were hugely popular in the 18th century.

I mean, trashy sentimentalist is like half of Shakespeare tbh. Its all jokes about women, dick jokes and violence.

When is going? Bc I am actively not fine.

I doubt it. We have a very large fossil record of extinct species. Nothing says we won't end up as yet another.

Yeah, we all die eventually. No life, no problems.

At least he died looking good.

This is definitely an unpopular opinion. Have an upvote.

Now thems fighting words.

I kind of miss the plague.

That's not a boring unpopular opinion. It's a boring popular one.

Charred fresh pineapple is completely different than pale bland lumps from a can too. Hawaiian style pizza can be good but blandness is death.

I'm about to do ham and eggs on a pizza.

My wife likes pineapple on pizza. This is absolutely not a non-issue for me! We get half pineapple and half pepperoni and sometimes I get a pineapple on my side of the pizza!

Yeah I also don't like pot. Mainly because it smells bad tho... I've never actually used it before since I can't imagine putting something that smells like that near my nose.

Same. Cannabis just makes me fall asleep.

Sounds boring to me. Not boring would be "I dont like pot so I am going to craft a bipartisan police state and erode nearly every civil liberty in a pursuit to enforce my way of life upon others from a barrel of a gun."

"Democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people... But the people are retarded."

The issue is who decides on what vote everyone gets? I assume the idea is that experts should decide? But there plenty of "experts" with qualifications that I wouldn't want to make decisions.

Taken to the extreme this would basically be Plato's philosopher king, which sounds nice in theory, but I don't see working in practice.

Equal vote might be bad, but it's the lesser evil in practice.

To throw in my unpopular opinion (not sure if it qualifies as boring or not). There should be no age requirement for voting (in that sense it's already the case that not everyone has an equal vote because children do not have one).

C# may be ok, but fuck wpf.

So is Comic Sans for anything related to comics or comic-like things.

I feel like that's a pretty common opinion, I've never heard of anyone railing against motorsports not being a sport.

But Rallycross is the only interesting one.

Like, is luge a sport but not automotive racing?

To be fair, i just hate pineapple as food in general.

Eh I think they are more aimed at adults just by the way they are marketed including the toys which mostly make money in the adult collectors market. They just give the excuse to bring kids.

Hi,

I’m only commenting to show something… Seconds ago I read a comment about Ukraine and pornography with which I completely disagreed. I left the thread, came here, read a comment I completely agree with.

Both are made by the same commenter.

See, we can agree on some things and disagree on others. There’s more than two personalities available.

Agree, and as an adult who enjoys comic book movies. I also like really good cinema. Liking good movies does not mean movies that aren't winning Oscars are all bad. It means you're just a gatekeeper.

I can sit down and watch a movie like the Brutalist or the Whale absolutely lose my shit at them.

But sometimes I don't feel like being emotionally destroyed and just want good guys punching bad guys with predictable plot.

Humans are complex and sometimes you may like one and other times the other, there is no "you can't like X movie". Only gatekeepers think that way.

Agreed, with the caveat that the Zack Snyder DC films were genuine trash. Not even on a comic book reader and fan level, just on a Zack Snyder level, we need to stop letting that asshat write and make movies.

I mean yeah i think that's evil to market towards kids and use them as a hook to make parents overspend, that's like the primary definition of "bad". It's bad for the kids they market to and it's bad for society too.

Maybe it’s just me, but I also find it weird to see adults with t-shirts or stickers on their cars of what are essentially kid’s shows and comics.

I kinda feel that "plain black coffee" in it's various forms - Americano, drip brew, whatever - is the only way to actually drink coffee. That's not to say I don't approve of milk coffee or lattes or whatever - I love them - but they're drinks which have coffee in them, even if it's a dominant flavor. A banana smoothie isn't a banana.

People tend to think that dark roasts/more bitter coffees are "stronger". They actually have slightly less caffeine, as the longer the beans are roasted and higher temperatures they are cooked at naturally cooks off some.

For the most part a lighter/darker roast is all about what one likes to taste.

Ah. I see we found a masochist.
