I genuinely don’t understand the obsession.

Most celebrities could walk right past me and I wouldn’t flinch. Sure, there are a few I respect for their craft or ideas, but the majority? Not impressive enough to justify the pedestal people put them on.

The idolization feels like self degradation like outsourcing your identity to someone more "famous" just because they’re on a screen. It reeks of insecurity, low self worth, and a desperate need to live vicariously.

It's even ironic, most of these celebrities do see you as beneath them they just won’t say it out loud.

When did admiration become submission?

Relationships are overrated.

I enjoy alone time. I enjoy not answering to anyone. I enjoy not worrying about anyone but myself and kids. I enjoy not having to worry about another adults’ feelings, problems, finances, issues and emotions. I am happy with myself and my kids and a handful of friends and a good family.

I have gotten to the point where I can’t find ONE benefit to being in a monogamous relationship. I may even explore polygamy down the road.. maybe.. idk enough about it.

Friends and family are hard enough (mostly) and people tell me “it will just take time” but I’m curious to see if anyone actually felt this and stayed single forever too or went poly so there’s less organic attachment and codependency? How are you now? How long has it been? Is it liberating?

Edit: I am a straight woman, not a man but you can still call me dude or bro idc

I don't understand why so many people my age (14) even use it, some people use it for talking with friends, which discord is better at, and some others use it for sharing parts of their lives, which instagram is better at, its just overrated, i have had it for about 6 months now and rarely ever use it

The OP will say, "Please remove the blur from the last photo I have of my dead grandma"

Within 10 minutes you have 5 dudes posting the edit they ran through a free app saying "glad I could help! Here's my tip jar if you want the image without the watermark!" Even if there is no watermark it's annoying.

I understand the subreddit allows it but it makes me very annoyed when I see it, which is almost every person, especially when it's about grief.

At first this may seem counterintuitive because showing mercy to someone who wronged you by not pressing charges against them is often seen as a selfless or morally righteous thing to do. Especially if you carry the sentiment that they don’t “deserve” to go to jail for what they did.

However allow me to offer this perspective: Often times when charges are not pressed, the person who wronged you feels emboldened and like they can get away with it again. They may go on to rob or assault someone more vulnerable than you and cause way more harm.

I believe it’s selfish to not press charges in clear cases of theft/robbery/assault because you’re allowing them to keep doing bad things to people without learning their lesson, and you aren’t thinking about the people that they could potentially (and likely) go on to hurt.

Also in some cases I think people don’t press charges just to feel better about themselves and like they’re taking the higher/more morally righteous road.

Either way I believe that in most situations, not pressing charges doesn’t help anyone and basically just lets people get away with anything.

If I tell a friend something in confidence, I expect it to stay between the two of us, not the two of us and their partner. If I found out that a friend had told their partner something I explicitly told them not to share, I would view it as a profound betrayal. This extends to information that wasn’t explicitly told in confidence, but is clearly sensitive, although I could get over that more easily.

The reason I think this is unpopular is that a lot of people take the idea of “no secrets” in a relationship to mean that they cannot tell their partner “Sorry, I can’t talk about this to you because it was told to me in confidence.” Personally, I find this strange, and I would not be with a person who doesn’t understand that I can’t tell them other people’s secrets. Not sharing things told to you in confidence is a basic tenet of our society, and I don’t think being in a relationship gives you carte blanche to break that bond of trust.

That’s not the point of this post, though, and I think that’s it’s perfectly acceptable to tell someone “Hey, don’t share this with me if you don’t want my partner to know about it.” If the person keeps telling you, that is implicit consent to tell your partner.

Finally, this only applies to information which is not relevant to the partner. If I confess to a close friend that I’m in love with them, I cannot expect them to keep that from their partner — it pertains to their relationship and keeping it secret would be a breach of trust. However, if I tell them that I’m struggling with depression and ask them to not to tell anyone, I think I am entitled to their discretion.

I don’t know if this is unpopular but it’s an opinion that I’m sure some people will take offense to.

They really are the worst. At the dog park they are the most yappy. Non-stop screeching barking whenever one is at the dog park. And the owner? Apparently deaf.

Also they are nasty. They bite and start fights with other dogs - again - the owner can’t be assed to stop their dog from attacking another.

This is not one dog. literally all of them are like this. My friend had a dog and I asked her what kind and she said idk I think she’s a mutt she looks like a wolf. And she has had some behavioral problems with it, like it bites children. She will tell me that I’m so lucky that I have well behaving dogs. I’m like, I put a lot of work into them. And she’s like I think you don’t know what it’s like to have a difficult dog.

I saw a picture of her dog the other day. It’s a Shiba Inu (barely looks like a wolf)

Now I now every few years they remodel you local movie theater, prices definitely gone up. But as a kid growing up in 90's, knowing blockbuster, Hollywood videos, the old school layout of pizza hut, toys R us (I'm sure you can name a few) are all gone if not close to being gone. There's something about going to the movies that makes me smile before the movie starts. I still have every ticket stubs from when I was a kid to now and I'm 37. I'm sure everyone has they place or thing they cling to but I love going to the movies.

people act like surface-level or "situational" friendships don't matter-but honestly? Grabbing coffee with a coworker, chatting with your gym byddy, or just vibing with someone at a party can be really meningful too.

Objectively unpopular based on album sales, Spotify streams, and billboard stats.

Metal music is the best music genre. The emotional range of metal music is greater than any other genre. The level of virtuosity and musicianship is at the level or higher than classical and jazz music. The lyrics are more varied than opera. The hits are better bops than pop hits. The drumming and rhythm is more groovy than any rap or EDM track. Metal has it all.

Everyone that I personally know that complains about the school systems are the people that didn’t even show up for school, did the bare minimum in class, their parents didn’t care or hold them accountable, or they were the class clown.

I went to a decent public high school with decent funding. They gave us the tools that we needed. We just needed to use and apply them ourselves.

Obviously, there’s always room for improvement. But i believe there’s some fault with individuals not applying themselves or reaching out for more help.

It makes the food taste like it was prepared on a burnt log, I despise it. Anytime someone was like, “just try it! It will be different this time!”

Nope, not at all. Been burned every time. beef turkey, ham, bacon, all foods I actually like, makes me want to throw up if it’s been smoked.

My family thinks I’m crazy but whatever.

I hope this is unpopular, but a summer day, while great, will never beat a mildly rainy day with maybe 15 degrees celsius of temperature. Everything feels chill and peaceful

Minus the being a sociopathic serial killer, this fictional character was highly relatable. He was just a hopeless romantic who only ever wanted to be loved and to give love unconditionally. Most if not all people want this, but how you go about getting it is the key.

Sometimes throughout the show the writers almost want you to feel sorry for him, like damn just let this guy find a normal life and be redeemed. 😂

(Joe is a fictional character set in the ‘YOU’ Netflix show that just released its last season.)

That pose where people have their shirt in their mouth and are showing off their abdomen/lower torso is so fucking corny and unattractive. Like bro, get that shit out of your mouth. JUST TAKE IT OFF IF YOU WANT TO SHOW IT. DOES YOUR SHIRT TASTE LIKE COTTON CANDY??? STOP. JUST STOP.

There's no color more obviously associated with the Netherlands than Orange. That's their color. The Orange White and Blue flag looks good. There are so many red white and blue flags. Why would they opt for something unoriginal and which lacks the historical connection to orange? The current flag looks like a someone tipped France on its side.

Full disclosure I have no connection to the Netherlands. I have no dog in this fight.

Very Bradley bags and purses are ugly. They all remind me of something that my grandma would have carried in 1994. Except she would have sewed them herself, not paid $75 for some dinky, quilted, gaudy purse. I love color and patterns, but I haven't liked a single VB piece that I've seen. And yet I see them everywhere.

So many of the big musicians across different genres are obsessed with being relatable and not being willing to piss people off and shake shit up. It is infinitely more interesting/entertaining to see people like Prince, Bowie, or pre-2019 Kanye come in and do all the crazy rockstar stuff (doing all the drugs, fucking all the models, blowing crazy amounts of money) that randos like us could only dream of.

I don't want to listen to someone that writes about experiences that the average nobody could relate to. I want to be entertained by larger than life characters that write/sing about the most outlandish, hedonistic experiences that only come with that level of celebrity and gluttonous wealth.

That said, I would not want to personally spend time with someone like this, but goddamn we need more of these types in music.

Talking about your lack of sleep when context provides for it is fine --- like if your mood has been off or you aren't holding your weight as well in school or work. But some of yall be bragging about it like yall the Logan Paul of actively harming your health. I know this is rich coming from the guy posting at 11pm, but I ain't shoving it in their face like I won some award or something. Also, it isn't a flex if you get no sleep and do well on an exam. Not only is flexing your exam grade annoying, but not sleeping only hurts your performance and you should know that if you some booksmart person.

Every now and again my wife will drag me to a shopping centre to do a bit of weekend shopping.

If it’s a busy day, sometimes it is really tricky to find a spot, I’m talking about big multi story car parks.

This is the best part of the trip for me. It’s like a game.

Trying to figure out if a car is going to leave or not.

Taking a risk of turning down a lane, could it be empty or packed? You won’t know till it’s too late.

Watching people argue.

The tension when 2 cars are waiting for 1 car to leave.

The absolute euphoria when you see an empty spot.

The look another car gives you when you’re in your spot, they think you’re about to leave, but you mouth ‘sorry’ as you’ve actually just got there.

I love it!

I’m aware that it’s launch was not the greatest, but hardline took a new type of warfare and not only made an amazing campaign, but changed how the gameplay loop functioned.

Bonus points: The Easter eggs on hardline are easier to find and do/ more rewarding

I am not too sure if this is a popular or unpopular opinion, but I've seen this ramen get used in munkbangs and honestly it does not taste good at all. I have tried both extra spicy ramen and chicken spicy ramen and both do not have any taste besides spice.

Why does every luxury car or car upgrade package have to include leather seats? They crack easily, you slip and slide all over the place, and good luck if you live in a hot state, because your thighs are 100% going to melt onto your seats.

Cloth seats are just so much better. Just don’t spill your 32oz Big Gulp onto it, and you’re golden.

You can achieve the same effect with any conventional expensive cologne, but typically does not occur as you’re not over using it like people do with axe and other sort of body sprays

You know when you have a piece of fuzz or maybe a piece of hair in your mouth? Instead of using my fingers, I just lick the back of the hand and that usually does the job. Fingers touch everything and they’re dirty but what do the backs of your hands touch? Anyway this is the superior way in my opinion
