I shouldn’t have to spam tap a screen to change the climate controls, whereas a dial would be so much simpler and easy to use. The screens are basically impossible to use with gloves on if you live in a colder place. And frankly, most automakers just suck at making them. They are super laggy and hard to use. Cars can still look modern with a clean button and dial interior setup, and perhaps a smaller screen to display information. The infotainment system should not have to constantly take the drivers attention off the road.

The issue now, FB is so integrated into day to day life people only use that for advertising.

I hate getting emails about "Win this product" then you read how to enter and they say, Like Us/Follow Us and re post Us on Facebook to be entered.

Or a restaurant which is FB only and clicking the link you are greeted with a million log in screens and limited information.

IMO this is a rubbish way to get to your target audience and I avoid companies who solely use FB.

If you’re really this good person you claim to be you would give to the homeless, give to shelters, help people and not tell anyone else about it, it’s that simple.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts I've been going to baseball games my entire life. I have well over 1,000 games attended. One of my life long dreams is to catch a baseball in the stands. To me that is a chosen from the baseball gods moment. Lately I've been seeing more and more when someone catches the ball a parent will send a kid over to collect their prize. Everyone boos the person who caught the ball for not giving it to the kid. The person who caught the ball has likely been waiting since they were that kid's age to catch one and now they have an entire section if not stadium bullying them to give it to some little kid that will have 0 appreciation for it because they just did what their parents told them and went and asked for it.

Obviously if I ever catch a ball I will break it to the kid that inevitably gets sent over gently that no, I will not give them the ball AND I will take my boos. But to the parents who send their sex trophy over to collect something that they aren't entitled to, you are horrible parents/people and I don't feel bad that your kid is sad now, it's your fault.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Why on earth would ANY adult want to have their ass wiped by their children? I can think of nothing more humiliating or dehumanizing.

I never understood why nursing homes (pre pandemic) were always such an awful thing.

My bfs grandma would get up an wander around the neighborhood and forget where she was. She would trash the house. She would need to be bathed and fed by others because she couldn’t function. His aunt had to quit her job to look after her, all while having kids of her own. What mother would want that for their children?? What person would want their own health and safety in the hands of someone who is trying to juggle their own lives and children and work instead of a person who takes care of others as their chosen career?

There is a HUGE difference between changing a 6 month old’s diaper and an 80 year old’s. And imo there is a HUGE difference between having a medical professional see you naked and clean you than your grown kids seeing you naked and cleaning you.

I would not want my children to remember me as an invalid who needed s*it wiped away from their vagina because of diapers.

As soon as a person is unable to function alone, they should be put in professional care and NOT be shamed for that decision.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Firstly i want to mention that i have worked with both physically and mentally handicapped people and among them were the most lovable, loving and truly inspiring people I've met in my life. Albeit i don't think it's fair for parents to be required to sacrifice their chance of a normal life for their child. To those who do, whether by choice or not, give birth to handicapped children, you have my deepest respect and I don't doubt that parents will do anything in their power to provide the best life for their children and love them the way they are, but i don't think it's wrong to assume that such a life is more emotionally taxing than raising healthy children. As previously mentioned these people often exhibit a love for life most of us couldn't compare to. Still i don't think you should be required to give up your own life and sanity for someone else because of societies morals. Honestly i wouldn't be strong enough to handle such a situation.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts You were the adult when they were a child. If their first instinct, as soon as they get out from under your thumb, is to completely ignore you forever, you need to own the fact that you messed up as a parent at several, consistent, points along the road throughout your child's upbringing. They hate you for a good reason, and they're probably better off without you in their lives.

There are a number of forms of abuse that range from over-parenting, to neglect, over-discipline to straight up negative enabling behavior.

I have friends who don't talk to their parents because the strictness was so suffocating, and friends who don't talk to their parents because they were lazy bums who never took an interest in their child's life. There are tons of other reasons kids abandon relationships with their folks, but the one thing that stays true through all of these experiences for me is that it's always the parents fault.

This is mostly about relationships that end as soon as the kid leaves the house, not necessarily relationships that break down during adulthood, although the same reasoning could be applied in a lot of these cases too.

Don't agree... First: 'always' .... it's never 'always.. second: in my profession I see a lot of people and hear a lot of stories. I really KNOW that some of my patients who's adult children don't speak to them did nothing wrong and did absolutely everything to have a good relationship with their kids. But as a parent, you can't always be 'a friend'. And sometimes, in very difficult situations, with very big problems (psychiatric, drugs, ....) you have to make a decision against what your child wants. This can lead to a very difficult relationship later on. So please: this statement hurts people. People who love their children, lie awake at night, have seen horrible things at home, have to make choices in the most difficult dilemmas. From some age on, you have to let your kids do their own thing and sometimes that brings a lot of trouble with it. Kids are just like other people: sometimes things do happen to them, which you don't have any control over as a parent.

My mentally ill younger brother is no longer speaking to our mother because he married an emotionally and financially abusive woman who bankrupted him and forced him to "prove his love" to her by cutting off contact with his entire family, basically anyone who could at any point try to protect him. She even made him dump his beloved dog (luckily we found out in time and he was rescued). Of course I'm also angry at him--psychologically fragile or not, he is an adult, and it's horrible how easily he was persuaded to throw us all under the bus. But, also, that's how emotional abuse works. But this situation is not our mother's fault and she is suffering horribly as I and our other brother support her.

I used to have a friend that alienated his mom and brothers because they grew up poor (his mom was a widow with 4 boys). He got very involved in the Southern Baptist Church and moved several states away. He was embarrassed by his humble childhood. His mom worked hard to support the family and get her GED but he couldn't "forgive" them. So no, some kids are just self centered and care more about what other people think of them than the feelings of their own family. His mom and brothers wouldn't join his church either so..cut completely out. One of his brothers died and his wife had to talk him into coming home for the funeral. Not always the parents.

If you have a family member who abusive, you have the right to walk away. It doesn't matter if it's a parent, a sibling, an uncle, a child. Just because you share blood is not reason enough to sacrifice yourself so that person can repeatedly destroy your life. It's heartbreaking when it's a child, but it happens. This is one of the reasons why senior abuse is not identified or dealt with. People deny it exists.

While I don't think that it is 'always' it sees to happen very frequently. I only know a few people who don't speak with one of both of their parents. I would be one of them if my mum divorced the abusive jerk that is my father. But it is sad how if you ask around most people really have a bad relation with at least one of them. Specially the father. Maybe it is a coincidence but from my group of friends and partner only one gets along with this father. It turns out that being dominant just for being male, not being involved in your child life, never expressing love or pride or yelling and insulting are not good parenting methods. Who would have imagined.

Totally agree, and thank you 💟 I have not spoken to my mother since 2006, and frankly I don't feel the need to either. I don't miss her, I don't regret cutting contact, I don't need her at all, I don't think of her. She is gone from my mind and she doesn't matter to me anymore. That's the reality, and my siblings have also cut contact with her. We have our reasons for doing so, yet we have been shamed and looked down on for this. Violence, abuse, neglect, manipulation, and endless blame made me and my siblings cut contact with that woman who was suppose to be our mother. It's not our fault, and I was in therapy for 6 years before I realized that.

Just because someone shares your DNA does not mean that they deserve your love. Saying otherwise prevents the abused from identifying the abuse--it minimizes the trauma and encourages the abused to continue being abused. Like you, after years of therapy, I cut a sibling out of my life, and the only reason I didn't sooner was the pressure from my family. We wouldn't accept abuse from a stranger, to force the abused to accept abuse from the people who are supposed to protect and love us most only leads to more abuse. I'm so glad you are free.

While parents’ fault is plausible, of cause there are completely opposite cases. My aunt is a woman whose children trampled over her. She is so afraid to lose them (although they already dont respect her), that she bends over backwards to please them. I know because i see with my eyes how my (adult) cousins treat her. They did so because she is constantly abused by her husband. The children join the husband to bully her. Strangely they fear him as authorative figure but dont avoid him. They blame her for everything. But i dont blame my cousins honestly; they grew up in a broken home. So...i disagree that it must be the parent/s’ fault if adult children avoid them. Both cases can happen. You just dont know til it happens to your family

I felt sorry to my younger sister during our elementary school years because she had shorter school time so she was always alone at home with no adults around to take care of her, which was the reason why I skipped my afternoon school I can accompany her at home.

This is one of the stupidest things that I have read, in a long time. Some people are assholes and their parents did a fine job raising them. Sometimes a person is born and is jackass, you cannot blame parents for every f*****g thing that their kids do.

I disagree with the “always”. My brother doesn’t talk to my parents or any of us, and it really was his own fault. He stole money from my dad, trashed his bedroom to the point there were bug infestations twice, racked up like $1000s in parking tickets and didn’t tell my dad after he took back the car he bought for him...and that’s just the stuff I know about. He promised my mom he would change and didn’t, so my dad kicked him out of the house (he was a grown adult in his 20s), and he decided to get his revenge by going entirely no contact with everyone in the family in order to hurt my parents by hurting me, my sister, and our extended family. Sometimes the adult child is just an asshole.

I disagree strongly with this one! I'm one of seven children and have one sibling who won't speak to our mother, and hasn't done so for years. She was always a bully to me and our other siblings when we were kids and is a "difficult" person now. The rest of us all love our mother and think she's amazing - it breaks her heart that one of her children won't speak to her. My sister also doesn't speak to me or the other kids

people, who dont agree here, forget, that childhood can be traumatizing by violence/manipulation/gaslighting etc... caused by parents who repeat their own history and cannot reflect. this history goes back several generations and repeated itself until one generation reflects and treats their own children completely different. i got this experience, and it made me feel so good. to draw a line, and protect yourself, you can cut contact to abusive parents, over time you can also think about forgivness to a certain degree.

It's not that we don't agree that childhood abuse happens, or that it is incredibly damaging - or even that those children are better off without the abusive parents in their life - it's the word "always". Relations break down for all manner of reasons and to say the parent is always to blame is simplistic and just plain wrong. I suggest replacing it with "often" or even "usually". I'm sorry you have had such a traumatic experience with your family, I hope you have found peace.

Not necessarily true, I've seen people grow from decent weans into full blown selfish asshole adults that stopped talking to their parents because they wouldn't give them money. One person in particular refused to talk to the mother that raised him because he chose to waste money on unnecessary things instead of paying his rent and she wouldn't pay it for him, he'd done this a few times and this one time she couldn't pay because her car needed a repair and to him she was the bad guy for choosing to repair the car she needed to get to work over covering his rent.

Gave kids to Daddy after her lies were uncovered & CPS knew she was lying but covered for her! She also collected over $900 month child support when she had never had 18 month old & 6&7 yes olds for 2 months....she collected it for 16 months & is behind in her $100 month child support despite getting $1000-$2500 monthly as commission for insurance agent!

Sometimes, a child wants to do unhealthy things. Things the parents can not imagine their child doing: running away, dope & drinking, indiscriminate sexual behavior. As long as the child is underage, the parents can try to get them help ... often to the detriment of the other children in the family circle. Of course, the child can refuse all efforts of help until they are of legal age, at which time they will leave home. The parents then pray for an awakening by the child from their folly and keep the front door ajar. It is unwise to assume problems with a child are always a parent's fault. Most parents want the best for their "wee-ones" and strive to prepare them for life after leaving the parental home. The child that is not receptive is a great heartache.

There are a lot of holes in this. What I’m getting from this is that, basically, OP is saying is that kids can’t be influenced by anything other than their parents (“I hate mom!” peer pressure by friends, for example) and that it’s never the kid’s fault. The problem is—kids are people, too! They make their own choices and sometimes the parent just can’t stop them, because they’re not in control of everything their kids does! Not saying abuse and stuff isn’t a thing, though! Break away if it’s not healthy.

This is the most hateful thing I have ever seen on Bored Panda. I have a friend whose wife was super religious. She let the church take over the family. She also was extremely cruel. Screamed constantly at my friend and their kids. When my friend finally got up the courage to divorce his abusive wife, she poisoned the children against him. She told them that he was the devil and that a good person would never leave his wife. It was years of no contact for him from either of his children after he left (and yes, he paid child support, paid for the house, paid alimony, and offered the kids to live with him.) One of his children has come around to realize that their mother was abusive and now my friend and the child have a great relationship, but the other is still under the mother's spell. It is almost like Stockholm syndrome. It is unspeakably cruel to blame a person that is being abused of being at fault. I'm disgusted. Going to take a break of Bored Panda for a while. I can't even.

Most of the time, when they grow up, they stop being brainwashed by their "loving" parents. Not the other way around. There is no win in not talking to your parents, it's f*cking hard to do, plus we are getting shamed, sometimes even harassed and belittled for doing so. But most of the time, that's the only way to remain sane, or even stay alive and breathe.

Got a call from the school saying my son punched a girl in his class. I was mad and ready to ground him when he got home when it occurred to me that I should ask why he hit her. The principal told me that the little girl pushed him and took his lunch money and continued to take her folder and smack him with it when he got fed up and punched her in the shoulder. Now, if they knew that the little girl had done all this and was continuing to do it, they should have intervened. They didn't so my son defended himself. Not in trouble.

When I told the principal that it seemed justified, she told me that I shouldn't make it seem okay to hit little girls. I let her know that my children know that it's not okay to hit anybody. But that it's also not okay to stand there and just be hit either. It's totally okay to defend yourself against anybody and everybody that is attacking you.

If true gender equality comes to fruition, then what it will mean is that people will stop giving a f*ck about one another's gender. Everyone would have equal opportunity, treatment, respect and appreciation, while being judged based on character, ability, personality and other proper grounds based on the situation. There would be no need for gender-based celebrations, since all related hurdles would have already been crossed.

What will be celebrated though, is mankind coming one step closer to overall human equality.

If the shoe were on the other foot it would be people banding together calling others insensitive. I know that it’s popular right now to say “men are trash” and i just think if people went around saying “women are trash” everyone would be up in arms. We should be advocating for good mental health for ALL people. I know statistically speaking men commit more crimes and stuff like that, and it’s more of a reason to lift men up and advocate for their mental health.

How fu**ing disturbed are you as a person for your mind to take that route? In this picture Leo isn't touching the girl, he's not sniffing the girl or doing some other creepy ass s*it. How is talking to a young person instantly associated with pedophilia?

We desperately need to change this attitude, because the people protecting and making young kids feel comfortable are being shamed and wrongfully accused of pedophilia.

By all means, at all times be wary. But don't just jump to pedophilia. That is f**ked up and we need to change that mindset.

I agree! I have a soccer play field in front of my house and sometimes i see old men watching the kids (all ages) play soccer. I always melt, thinking of my father who loved soccer when he was Young and played in the street he grew up in. He also loves to watch the kids play and make a chat. I know the men that are watching the kids are remeniscing their fond memories, but i can't help to think that i hope the kids know that too and that it's not a Creep watching them.. hate it that it always Comes to mind.

I think backstories influences the judges' decision unfairly. Who would you rather choose, a kid who got cancer or an actually talented person but has had a good life. It's called America's Got Talent for a reason. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not some sympathy-less person. I certainly feel bad for them and do hope they have a better life in the future. I just feel like talent shows should be judged on actual talent.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts It is so frustrating to shop on Amazon with the Chinese sellers and manufacturers on the site.

The fake reviews are overwhelming (think 50-90% fake reviews on FakeSpot or ReviewMeta), plus the products are cheap and break and when you go back to the manufacturer, most of them don't exist after 1-2 years. I would assume it's the same group of people making crappy merchandise and cycling their names over and over again and buying the same fake reviews.

Beyond this, I'm always worried that they've put some pollutant or carcinogen into the manufacturing process because their regulations are so lax. The examples in the media are countless--toothpaste with diethylene glycol, pet food that kills our dogs and cats, toys with lead paint, make up with lead, beryllium, bacterial contamination, cheap hardware that self destructs after a year.

And it can be so hard to tell because they often manufacture for companies like Mattel and Nestle so you think you're getting American or European.

This has been going on for decades and we just turn a blind eye to it because they're cheaper. Business ethics wise, they're about where the US was in the 1920s. This is an example of how capitalism can result in deadly consequences without strong governmental regulation.

Please feel free to downvote me into oblivion, whatever, I don't care, I'm just sick of the nonsense.

Swimming is like walking, but for water. It's part of the few basic means of movement we, humans, have at our disposal, along with running, crawling and climbing. Not knowing how to swim puts you at a HUGE disadvantage, as you pretty much can't avoid water. Any mildly interesting / fun activity might turn into a potentially lethal one, should you not know how to swim. Going fishing? Better not fall into the water... It's like permadeath for video games: instead of ending up wet, and maybe slightly (or very) cold, you just friggin' die if you fall into deep water. I know, swimmers can drown too, but if you can't swim, you're guaranteed to have to be rescued.

On another note, it's so weird to see healthy people being incapable of performing the most basic human activities: I've seen grown men injure themselves trying to climb over a 3 feet fence (not drunk), women twisting their ankles and tearing tendons when running towards a bus stop, etc. Now, I'm not saying that everybody needs to be a world-class climber like Adam Ondra or swimmer, like Michael Phelps. But learning how to... I don't know, not die when navigating anything but flat terrain seems like it should be part of being a grown human.

They would rather give them food or some other tangible item to help them out.

These people are already down on their luck and have enough to worry about.

This way anyone falsely accused does not get their name dragged through the sand until they have been convicted. We have made it too easy to destroy people's lives on false accusations. I believe protecting the innocent is just as important as prosecuting the guilty. The only downside would be if someone had evidence on the accused, but this could also be found as a part of the investigation process.

So maybe a better definition if the initial hearing is not dismissed and the judge wants to pursue the case further. I just don't think its fair to lose your job over something that's dismissed in 5 minutes in court, because that's all someone with a false accusation wants.

When browsing on some shady websites that aren't centered around pornography, I'm sure we've all had porn ads with either partial or full nudity pop up out of nowhere or on the sidebar. Just because you're on a website that requires 18 plus does not mean that it should be perfectly fine to show porn without the consent of the viewer. For example on Spotify I don't listen to any sexual content or sexual podcasts, however I get recommended a show called "hentai with senpai," and I have to deal with an extraordinarily sexualized hentai face on my home screen. I'm not even the only person who deals with that specific show showing up on their home screen unsolicited. So to reiterate, if exposing yourself to someone without their consent, even if they're 18 years old or up, is a crime, then it should also be a crime to show nude or sexual contents to people in pop up ads without their consent.

Random opinion I just thought about from past experiences. By this I don't mean absolutely freezing/sizzling climates, I just mean from mildly warmer/colder weather than normal. I've seen myself be really stressed during warmer weather, with no real way to cool myself at all. On the other hand, with colder climates, it's really easy to cool yourself down; get under a warm blanket, get a hot drink and just vibe there I guess. It's really comforting too, probably one of the best feelings ever.

Though this doesn't really make sense if you're outdoors and not inside, it's technically inside I'm talking about. Being outside is a whole different story, though it's technically the same answer on that side in my opinion.

So in conclusion; I don't like going outside because it's too warm.

I think a good example of this is the show Riverdale. If you don’t know, it’s a show using the characters of Archie comics in a teen murder drama ish show. In that show their lives are about whatever big mystery is going on, their relationships, and their friends. The characters in the show are high-school age (16 I believe) but a majority of the cast are actors in their mid-twenties (one actor is almost 29).

In the show, or as much as I’ve seen, being an actual high school student occupies very little of the character’s lives and the aspects of high school we do see the characters participate it could more or less be translated into a college setting. So why even make them high school students? I know to reach a youth audience and whatever but seeing how a lot of this shows content displays varied sexual relationships between characters, I feel like it’s a bit weird seeing all these high school age relationships so graphically being acted by much older people.

And I’m realizing now that Riverdale isn’t the best example (a plot point of season 1 is an inappropriate teacher student relationship) but there are a lot of shows like this out. I think Hollywood should stop fetishizing high school sexual relationships when they really don’t have to. My issue with it isn’t so much the displays of sex, more that the show creators are leaning so heavily into all the displays of sex of people who are supposed to be minors. Gives a weird voyeurism vibe. If the plot allows, just make the setting college, it would even make more sense with the plots sometimes.

TLDR: I have no issue with sex being a plot point in teen-oriented television but the mentality of “We have 27 year olds playing 16 year olds so let’s shoot this soft core porn scene because we can 😎” is very problematic and approaching borderline pedophilic

At least the United States hides its ethnic mass incarceration under the veneer of mandatory minimum sentencing laws (I’m kidding, this is not the same thing, obviously)

One article published just today presented evidence that the Chinese government had been collecting involuntary samples of DNA in order to map faces. Are you f**king kidding?

Also disturbing has been China’s active use of existing technology to repress dissent in Hong Kong.

China has repeatedly demonstrated they have no qualms about shoving racial minorities into concentration camps, and a brutal capacity to eliminate opposition. I don’t see any reason why China will not continue to get worse in these regards. It seems that if any country is soon to reach ww2 Germany levels of power and fascism it will definitely be China.

My ex has women telling her on social media how amazing she is for raising kids in her own and how strong and independent she is for picking herself up after the divorce (that she caused with her affair) and being a mom. I have none of that. Its not that my friends don't think I'm a good dad, its that as a society, we have made the single mom a sort of unsung hero. What about single dads? We do the same s*it. I work and take care of my kids the same way but I don't get celebrated like I'm doing something amazing. I just get the recognition that almost all dads get... Nothing.

I hate hearing people say, "oh, he bought a Corvette because he's balding and needs to feel younger." No. No no no no NO. As someone who's never earned much money because I made the spectacular decision to do what I love rather than what was lucrative, I'm finally in a position in my late 30s where I can actually save up to buy my dream car.

I get it if cars aren't important to you. I get it if you dislike the impact they have on the environment. I get it if you think sports cars are too expensive and a hassle. I get it if you see a forty something guy in a BMW M3 and assume he's compensating for something. But realize that automotive enthusiasm is a huge part of life for a lot of people, and can often be the biggest connection they have to family members or friends.

As a car enthusiast, I look forward to increased electrification for a lower carbon footprint (and ridiculous torque for better acceleration). I accept that my budget will have to increase for a cool exotic car and decrease for other pursuits. It's worth it to me. Just like you might enjoy collecting stamps or having a closet full of nice clothes. It's also the first thing I talk about when I call my dad since he used to race cars and motorcycles in the 70s. We bond over cars and car news.

So the next time you see some guy with graying temples and a widow's peak driving a Ferrari, understand it might be the realization of a dream from childhood and try to, you know, not crap on that dream because it's not YOUR dream.

Christianity is a "safe" punching bag on this website for some reason; it can freely be mocked and derided. But you dare to make equally derisive statements about other religions and your "problematic" comments will immediately be met with disapproval.

This is bizarre and to me it shows that a lot of the anti-religion "views" expressed on this website aren't fueled by reason or conviction but simple parroting.

Our $250 range microwave broke. Repair guy came out and cracked it open and said it was a bad door switch. He wanted $389 to fix it. NFW. Besides, he already pointed out the bad switch, so I figure, how hard can it be.

I take out the switch, and jot down the four digit alpha numeric code on it. I go to a locally owned appliance parts distributor. The lady at the counter was very nice, but said that number means nothing to her or her computer. She says she needs more information. I tell her the make and we kind of come up something similar that will (probably) work. But... it’s not in stock and they are moving their warehouse, so two weeks minimum. I ask for suggestions, and she gives the name of three other places in town.

I call those places. The first two are total assholes to me. Very condescending, and telling me I need the model number. Again, the four digit code means nothing to them. I give what’s in the confirmation email from Sears. Not enough. Kenmore doesn’t manufacture their own goods. She needs to know the manufacturer. I’m not at home. I’m sitting in my truck on the phone. Second call goes just like the first. Treated me like a child.

At this point I go home, get the info on the manufacturer, and call the third place. Very nice. They don’t have it, but can get it that afternoon. For the low low price of $40.

I can’t get there in the afternoon, and $40 seems outrageous for a door switch.

I take a last ditch effort on Amazon. I put in only the four digit code that nobody could work with at four different distributors.

158 sellers. Most expensive one was $9. It will be here tomorrow.

KW3A. Look it up yourself.

Unbelievable.

Unless you like drinking bitter dark liquid. And if you don't, you add milk or creamer, which just makes it slightly bitter but still not good. And for those who add sugar, it gets too sweet for there to be a real taste.

So I don't understand. I will have the occasional cup in a group setting or at my mom's, but I can honestly say I've never had a cup of coffee and said "Oh this one is actually good."

People say if you buy super expensive ones, there's a massive difference, but I don't see myself making that investment, nor knowing anyone else who would in order to try theirs. It's just not good, man.

Again, it smells amazing. But can coffee lovers just admit they drink it for the poop regulation and caffeine energy boost? This is a safe space.

I'm not even sure this would be an unpopular opinion on Reddit however I feel in general videogame composers don't get enough credit from everyone. Composing music for a video game can be significantly harder than for a movie because during a movie the composer knows what will happen and can compose the music so that it sounds perfect for the situation this is not the case in a video game. As someone who has played over 170 hours of ori and the blind forest, hollow knight and Cuphead it disappoints me to see that although they get lots of recognition by gamers the music industry really just snubs them

I know a bunch of doctors and celebrities and pretty much everyone else is all for giving just about everyone the number to the suicide hotline and pretending they are helping. They aren’t.

I’ve called them myself, spoke to countless other individuals about there first hand experiences, and read the stories. Most of the time the suicide hotline ends up doing more harm then good. They have been known to hang up on people in crisis, prematurely call the police on their callers, and use very scripted methods that usually don’t help. I’ve brought this up to multiple mental health professionals and they know the line sucks but they still send it out. It’s over glorified so people can feel like they are making a difference or helping when in reality they are recommending something that does more harm them good.

All the while that money goes to a mega corporation that contributes to the worsening of real life.

Also, Disney is pretty much geared towards kids and being crazy about it is sorta creepy. It just seems like these people have experienced a failure to launch. People should grow up and stop expecting life to be a fairytale.

It may be just the nostalgia talking, but I very much liked the "quality" of the content you could find on the internet back in the day, when the majority was created by people who had real jobs (or schools) and could only create content in their spare time. And I'm not talking only about YouTube videos, but also about general blogs and more "specialized" sites.

I'm not 100% sure what it is, but to me it's either that the content was not so much money-driven and people could fully express themselves without caring for the "brand" or "monetization" or what not, or that they were much more connected to the everyday issues of everyday people.

I'm also not saying there are no good content creators right now, or that all of them are disconnected from the reality, but it's kind of sad that it's not the norm anymore.

A pizza loaded down with so many different meats that chunks of sausage fall off when I’m trying to eat it is not even appetizing. There are so many contrasting meat-flavors and I really don’t understand why it is so popular. I truly think some of its popularity stems from some weird place of machismo and anti-veganism.
