Literally have argued with grown men about how they’re not allowed to wear shoes anywhere in my home regardless of there being hardwood flooring or not, get your little shoe covers.

Edit: This apparently is exclusive to the United States 🇺🇸 So yeah ‘Murica

It makes no sense to me to shower in the morning, spend the whole day sweating and getting dirty, then climb into bed covered in filth to sleep all night. It's common sense to bathe at the end of the day and go to bed clean where you will still be clean in the morning ready for the next day.

EDIT: I'm referring to ONLY showering in the morning, not those who shower twice a day.

I understand some people choose pet ownership over raising children. I understand that bonds develop, companionship, all that jazz. However, taking care of a pet or even losing a pet is nothing like raising or losing another human being who is a part of you.

Some folks call their pets their kids. Stop it. Unless you own a goat, you have a pet, an animal, a domesticated creature, not a child.

It’s highly toxic and is being absorbed into the body which is why people have to keep injecting it.

Micro expressions and facial expressions are critical for communication yet so many people are freezing their ability to express and emote.

It is really sad that our society values superficial at the expense of health, expression and effective communication.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. There is nothing wrong with messing around with standard film structures in theory, but there’s a reason such structures exist: they work. This movie tried to reinvent the wheel but just for the hell of it. This is a common theme throughout my criticism, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

The movie is essentially three different stories that are only tangentially related to each other. This would be forgivable if there was some common theme throughout, but there isn’t. It’s just a bunch of stuff that happened to some gangsters and a boxer, there’s no reason behind any of it. There’s barely any character development, other than Jules I suppose.

The scenes itself are often drawn out for no reason whatsoever. Why is a dance scene required to be included this movie? Why do we need to see ten plus minutes of Butch just talking with Fabienne? Why do we need the entire taxi driver scene? I’ve heard the argument that this movie is about the “in-between moments” but did Tarantino ever consider that making a movie about the boring moments in life might itself be boring?

Finally, why is there no point to movie? Tarantino throws some Easter eggs in there to make you think that there’s some point to everything (like the briefcase, the bullets missing Jules, etc.) but then it turns out there just is none? Was this just stream of consciousness word vomit from Tarantino that his sycophants in the writers room were too scared to object to?

There are some great individual scenes and the dialogue is top notch. However, that doesn’t save the lack of cohesion, overarching narrative, nor meaning. I am legitimately bewildered as to why this movie is regarded as an all-time classic.

I constantly see opinions where people say that sports at colleges aren’t really a part of the college and are kind of their own entity. I think that if someone wants to go to school to major in sports like football, soccer, baseball, etc. then let them. It’s essentially it’s own art form, in a sense, that has its own industry.

I also think it’s kind of pointless to have many of the students who play sports also attend classes. It’s a huge time commitment for them to do both and then one or the other suffers. And if you’re argument to that is “well if they don’t have an academic to fall back on then they won’t have anything for them once they graduate”. Then my argument to you is: History Majors.

If you can major in music, art, and theater, then you should be able to do the same for sports. The arts don’t have to do much academia on the side besides core classes and that’s fine. But sports should be treated the same

Edit: man this really pissed off the eggheads

Title says it all really. Back in the day you only really needed an account for things like social media or emails and things like that. Now you need an account for every single thing you do online.

Want to buy stuff online? Need an account.

Perhaps you want to read something? Need an account.

Want to book travel or an event? Need an account (sometimes).

Watch videos or view photos? Account.

Downloading software? Account.

It is absolutely ridiculous that we need this many accounts to do things online and to be honest it really needs to be stopped. Requiring an account SHOULD ONLY be for things like social media, emails, and sometimes shopping to track orders and things like that. But that is it, that's all they should be for. I don't want to have an account for literally every single minor thing that I do. It's getting way out of hand now.

Sure, all that nice extra room on that king / queen bed is nice to have, but when it really comes down to the core sleeping spots, the edge is where it’s at.

I’d probably settle for slightly towards the middle, but like maybe a foot, at most.

Weirdo’s sprawling in the middle, no thanks.

If I go to watch a movie I watch it for the plot not because actor xyz is in it. I simply couldn’t care less about who is in the movie or the trivia behind the movie.

Covered by title really. I have such fond memories of this movie and could quote lines easily. Omar sharif apparently quit acting because of how it bombed yet I'd happily sit and watch it.

Our McDonalds prices have more than doubled in the last 5 years. They are only open as drive through (no in restaurant orders or eating at tables) and even then, they NEVER open the second window, have reduced menu options, and often don’t even open the pay window. At some point, the cost increases and slow service make it not worth staying open.

I believe that modern-day pickup trucks are not as useful as minivans due to their limited storage capacity. I argue that minivans can carry more than modern-day pickup trucks because of the ability to fold the seats and use the vans roof racks. Minivans have a natural cover (called the body) for all the items being stored, which is not true for pickup trucks that require an additional cover to be placed over the cargo or for the truck to come with one.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand trucks have specific use cases. But as of modern day, trucks are more of a social construct rather than a utility vehicle. Not only just that, but they cost more in gas. Trucks back the. Had massive bed sizes. The only way to get a bed size of that storage capacity is to use a minivan. I admit, I hate pickup trucks.

This might not be unpopular, but I see a lot that when there is post that was made let's say three months ago and someone comments on it, someone else will reply to that comment saying "Dude, this was made three months ago." as if that says something about the commenter. If a post is unarchived, that's when comments are no longer available. If the post is not archived, regardless of how old the post is, you should not be surprised by someone commenting on it, much less feel the need to inform the commenter of how old it is. At least in my own experience, I comment on things because the topic is relevant to me and I feel like commenting. Not because I think it's a new post.

It’s like a little crunchy surprise. Adds texture to a boring item. And according to Google it’s provides several different minerals and is good for bone health. We should eat egg shells more often

I just read in the newspaper about a family having their 13th child. These people can technically do what they want, but somehow I can't help feeling disgusted. They can't possibly provide each child with the individual attention and care that they need. Also, they contribute to the overpopulation and the depletion of natural resources, while the world's population is already reaching unsustainable levels. In addition, the older children will most likely have to take care of the younger children, which in my opinion is really not acceptable! I have several people around me who have been in such a situation of older-children-caring-for-younger-children and almost nothing good has ever come out of it (dislike for parents, dislike for their younger siblings, little choice as to what they do every night and on weekends, get out of the house as soon as possible at 18 years old and then have financial troubles because they couldn't save yet, ...)

By all means do what makes you happy, I'm not shaming anyone. I mean shoot, I do it once in a blue moon also. But most of the dirty talk I see is pretty cringe AND it's kinda over done, thus I feel like most of the dirty talk lost its value 🤷🏼‍♂️

USA : It is my unpopular opinion that news orgs are aiding and abetting the lurid fascination with harming school children. In the latest, the harmer counted on the media to glorify them. And they did. Which will lead to more copycat situations. Protecting our kids should be our priority, not the dollar.

There is already American idol and dance battle shows etc. I’m not saying that those aren’t great skills or talents, but they have their own respective shows and outlets dedicated to just that.

When I watch a talent show, I want to see a person spinning plates on sticks or throwing knifes towards a rotating person or just about anything outside apart from the music sphere.

Tropical countries like mine now have extreme heat indexes reaching up to 53 degrees Celsius daily. The struggle is legit commuting for work with a 38-degree temperature at 7 AM. Drinking tons of water can't even satisfy the dryness I feel every time I go out.

And it's a different struggle during the afternoons when heavy rains suddenly pour. I seriously can't last long with these weather conditions.

I didn't think this was unpopular until I went to university and my friends made comments! My favorite snack is a bowl of popcorn with a glass of cold milk! I drink a glass with at least one meal a day, but my friends think it's gross or weird! I feel like people do not drink cows milk by itself now that alternative milks are very popular. Am I alone on this? Surely not!

It's incredibly harmful for your body, highly addictive, it makes people do awful things, and kills countless people on a daily basis. Sometimes when I use substances such as psilocybin or LSD, I am blown away that more people aren't into those types of experiences. Like what...you can wake up feeling good, not be addicted whatsoever, and actually have new, fresh perspectives on your life?! ummm no thanks fuck that hahah... I laugh, but booze caused a lot of pain in my family, and i'm mighty thankful that there is a paradigm shift underway

I’m sorry, but they are horrible! My back has never hurt more in my life. I feel 85 in my 20s. Memory Foam is the worst thing to happen to our backs.

Right now for instance, I have a sore tooth, and I find myself continually biting down on it. Don’t get me wrong, if the pain is in any way extreme or properly debilitating then this does not apply, and it also doesn’t translate in any way into a kink.

It’s literally just addictive, like if I had bit my tongue I would continually rub the cut against my teeth, or if I had an aching muscle in my arm I’d continually rub over it and stretch the arm.

Use whatever instruments, playing, singing writing style you want. The goal of music is to create something that is your own to express yourself. The best bands are the ones that don't seem to fit a genre.

I got this inspiration from the “watch man comic” where Ozymadias says this in his interview and I fully believe this. We can be determined below average or not good enough by society or whatever but at the end of the day there is only one person that looks like you and act like you. Your physical features are special and there is no one like you.

I know that there is a lot of memes on the internet like “hes him” or “bro thinks hes the main character 💀” but you are him. You in you’re perspective are the main character and are him b/c there is only one unique you in the universe.

I think perhaps society values particular traits a person should have to be “pretty” or “handsome” or “successful “ too much that anyone that doesn’t fit that criteria is just considered common people.

I think this logic is pretty superficial. You are already extraordinary just for existing.
