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.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts I deleted Facebook in 2011 and since, never looked back and if anything so glad that I did.

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.

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.

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.

Neither of them ever smiled or seemed to recognize us or their families when they came to visit. I didn't last long in that place - they received the best care possible, but I couldn't bear the suffering. I'd choose abortion every time if I thought I was bringing a child into a life like that.

If you have children, you are already responsible for their care. With the horrendous medical care in this country, you may end up bankrupt. This child will take all your time and money. Your other children will not get the attention they need as they grow up. Carefully consider the sacrifices of others, not your own. You got pregnant, you cannot expect others to help. Given your current responsibilities, is this even a possibility? The child may need full time help. The parent(s) can't afford to quit their job, have poor health insurance. They can afford and care for a normal or moderately handicapped child -- but an extremely sick child is beyond their reach. What do you suggest?

I cant remember who said it, but theres a comedian with (I think) cerebral palsy who opined on this. She said that there's no guarantee that screening catches everything - something could go wrong DURING the birth. If the sole reason for termination is the possibility that the child is disabled and you're not ready for that - you're not ready to be a parent. (I have paraphrased slightly because she also mentioned childhood accidents and a few other things - I've summarised)

Birth control fails. Bilateral salpingectomies fail. Condoms fail. Vasectomies fail. People have serious health conditions. USA maternal death rates are 800 women a year. We should not have to choose to give birth and die. We shouldn't have to choose to send the child to an adoption agency or a foster home. That's so much worse. A lot of children are put in the foster care system by choice or by force; obviously just because you have ovum or sperm doesn't mean you HAVE to give birth. Congratulations to the people out there that marry and choose to reproduce and choose to be parents and are decent at it. F**k you and shame on you to the people out there who choose to keep their children who were accidents due to birth control method failures, or to those who didn't think about the life that they were going to create in exchange for a few orgasms.

It happens far too much and the amount of children in the foster care systems is staggering and it’s difficult to find home for kids that are physically healthy and have few psychological issues without adding in children with disabilities.

It is not reasonable. It is the only ethical thing to do. How abusive you must be as a parent to force your kid to endure years of diseases, pain or handicaps? I have a couple of diseases that might be genetic. A lot of the women in the support groups talk about their pain and misery and then post about how they want kids or are having them. First as a sick mother you arent going to be a good parent. Second risking that your daughters or grandaughters inherit your missery is horrible.

He passed away a beloved member of our community. And if given he choice, I bet he would do it all again despite having a painful disease. So please don't call it abusive.

Ozacoter - I can see where you are coming from but there are so many variables here. Sick parents - well, some sick parents are amazing, inspiring, can manage as well as any parent at raising a child. Some end up with their children as carers from a very young age, I've seen it as young as 5. Even then some children take being a carer in their stride and learn a lot from it about life, compassion and so much more. Others are heavily burdened by it and have a miserable time. Passing on genetic diseases is a tough one. A friend of mine had her tubes tied to avoid it. Another I know had three children all with the same illness that would see them gradually lose their sight, their mobility and death before 20. That was hard to watch. There are no absolutes, no one size fits all. Can only do what we think is best in our own situations really.

But I do care when the same parents at one day decide that they can't take care of their child any more and leave the burden and costs to society. I didn't encourage you to have that disabled child, why should I pay for it for the next 30 years?

In a perfect world this would be a great option, but infants and children with developmental or intellectual disabilities are not adopted at the same rate as infants and children who were not born with disabilities. Sadly, these infants and kiddos become permanent foster care or residential care facility residents. And then what you end up with, are kiddos with trauma AND a disability, because these environments are not conducive to healthy emotional development.

No human is perfect! We are not striving to create a 'master-race.' What we have are the tools necessary to detect problems beforehand. If my child were born with Downs, I would be more than happy to help them grow and live their best life. Genetic screening is a marvelous tool for couples looking to have children. If both parents carry a gene for a well-understood disease, perhaps they should adopt instead. All of that aside, if we learned during a prenatal screening that our child had some sort of irreparable disfigurement, or would be likely to require life-long constant medical care, it would be a horrible decision to have to make, but we would have to consider what we are able to do as parents. If their life, and our lives, were to be little other than pain and suffering, terminating the pregnancy is something we would have to consider. It makes me sick to think about it, but it could happen. I can never know what I would say until I was in that position.

Being gay or trans is not a disability, this is about a person having the choice of a hard life caring for a disabled child or knowingly bringing a child into the world that will struggle with a disability. If gay or trans people struggle with their life because of being gay or trans - it is because of you, not them.

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.

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.

I can't tell you how much it pissed me off. Someone in my eyes doing something so fu**ing cool as giving a fan the time of day and chatting to them can INSTANTLY be associated with pedophilia. It makes me sick. And then we call out celebrities when they don't want to take a selfie with us?

I love kids. I love listening to them, I love escaping reality with them, I love teaching them, I love watching them grow. How does someone see that and think "Well then you must love having sex with them too"

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.

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.

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.

Most people I've talked to say they avoid giving money to homeless folks because they think they will use it for beer, cigarettes, and/or drugs. They would rather give them food or some other tangible item to help them out. While I understand the thinking behind it I'm also not naive enough to think that my $5 is going to magically get this person off the streets and back on their feet. These people are already down on their luck and have enough to worry about. If my $5 helps get them a pack of cigarettes or a beer and that's what they need to get through another day with the sh**ty hand they've been dealt then i'm OK with that.

It’s impossible to watch something nowadays that’s aimed towards teens without these portrayals. This is creating massive delusions for young teenagers in terms of what they think they will look like or should look like and it’s terrible. It should be banned. They are designed to be idolised or even sexualised and displayed as desired so what do think it does to a person who doesn’t look like that.

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.

This idea of "equals" would also allow readers to see depth and traits in a character they may not have seen before just by reading the main character's perspective.

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

Until this year, I thought of China just as the closest contender for America’s heavyweight superpower belt, especially in the next couple decades. Recently, however, after reading article after article about the brazen systematic detainment, and torture of a conservative 1.5 million people from a single ethnic group I’m getting serious fascist Germany vibes.

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.

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.

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.

Burgers that require you to unhinge your jaw to take a bite is not an enjoyable eating experience. For people that worry about making a mess and getting food all over their face and hands, there’s nothing worse.

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.

Also it doesnt allow people to mention their suicidal thoughts. I tried an online therapy app and the listeners werent allowed to even keep talking to you if you mention suicide. How is that helpful? It just teaches people to repress their emotions.

There are 0 scenarios where I should receive an email from a god damned manager that reads 'take a look at these, there both for you'. I have to go behind my 2 colleagues and 'clean up' the work they fill into communal spreadsheets because I'd be embarrassed if other people thought I contributed such dreck. Just today my workmate had put the simple input 'Mr & Mrs Smith' into a spreadsheet as, and I quote, 'mrq ans mrs smih' and then just moved on with his life with nary a care in the world, like what the F**K, people?

It doesn't make sense to me why we have so many cemeteries, some of which are huge. We could be using that land for homes, businesses, agriculture, etc. Even if a person wants to be buried, there's no need to pour cement into the ground or to bury the body in a casket that won't decompose after a few years.

I get it, you are vulnerable if you have a mental disorder, however that does not give you the green card to expect people to be automatically sensitive towards you or your needs. Sure, when others try to help you because they know of your disorder, they are doing this out of their own kindness not because they owe you anything.

No. I’m not gonna say “hE’s CrEepY tOwArDs MiNorS” or anything like that. I just think he’s genuinely off-putting. He’s this tall, extremely thin older man without eyebrows who prances around and wears the personality of a shallow, “yas kween” teenage girl. Everything about him sends me into defense mode and I don’t get why he’s so worshipped. Yes, his makeup skills are phenomenal but Jesus Christ his actual personality is so cringy and creepy to me. Sorry for the ramble, just wanted to express it.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Disney obsessed people tend to say they enjoy the magic and fairytales, but that just feels like denial of how terrible real life is. So instead of working together and fixing life, they spend hundreds, even thousands going to parks, buying merchandise, and watching movies over and over. 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.

There are a lot of whiny articles recently about how men don't go to university at the same rate as young women, don't work as many hours as they used to, and in general participate less in society and rather play video games or something. This naturally comes at the expense of traditional life attainments such as working yourself to death, having an insanely expensive wedding, and being the sole provider for a family that will eventually kick you out.

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.

And no, I’m not vegan or vegetarian. Meat on pizza is fine, great even. 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. Many of the same people who order meat lovers pizza turn their nose up at even the mention of vegetable toppings. And you know what? There are some bomb ass pizzas with veggies on them.

For some reason, dancing is seen as a "girls" thing and most choreographers put dance moves that are "for girls" in their dances. Bullsh*t. Boys can dance if they want to, and if it makes them happy, then go for it! I watch dance routines on YouTube and just watched a group of men dance to "RPG" and WOW they were amazing. I'm a girl and I couldn;t dance to save my life. STOP BEING RUDE TO MEN FOR DANCING FOR GODS SAKE
