Motorcycle riders

26 Upvotes

The biggest assholes on the road for me have always been motorcycle riders. Either the harleys or the modern bikes, they all think they own the road.

I cannot count the number of times I've seen them breaking simple rules, swerving through traffic, trying to beat cars to the front.

God forbid you honk at them for getting in your way, they become the biggest assholes.

It’s okay to not like kids but people who hate kids should be avoided

147 Upvotes

I’ve never met anyone who said they hated kids and they were a good person.

But whenever I meet someone who hate kids, they just show themselves to be a nasty gross person who mistreats kids.

If somebody hates kids, but treat them nicely, I don’t care. But I’ve never seen it.

You don’t have to adore kids but even if you don’t like kids, they deserve basic respect.

(Apparently this isn’t an unpopular opinion)

Married forever. We're not shy about our bodily functions but we also don't want some shitty trendy barn door that can't trap a fart and let's everyone hear everything.

Give us a solid ass airtight door that shuts and locks and we can close after some bad shrimp.

It's not sexy. It's gross.

Question Is it just me or are group chats more stressful than helpful?

• Upvotes

I feel like I'm constantly bombarded with notifications and trying to keep up with multiple conversations. Sometimes it feels like a full-time job just to stay in the loop. It just seems like a lot of noise for often very little actual important information.

Political Why is "race" such a salient issue in politics?

2 Upvotes

There does not need to be a "race" debate, because there is one objectively correct stance: "Do not judge people by race, period." Is that really that hard?

We have normalized unsolicited judgments and opinions online, and it is heading toward a breaking point; consider that you do not have to share every thought or action you have...

8 Upvotes

I find the irony of sharing this perspective, yet I feel compelled to express thoughts that have been on my mind. I am interested in doing so regardless of the irony....

​My opinion is that social media has enabled a culture of unsolicited commentary where people feel entitled to weigh in on matters that do not concern them. It has created a strange superiority complex; individuals use these platforms to broadcast opinions and lifestyle critiques;whether it is policing something as trivial as other people's sleep habits (one that I had seen recently) or judging personal routines; acting as though their subjective preferences are universal standards.

People treat harmless, unrelated choices as personal burdens simply because they feel "obligated" to voice thoughts no one asked for. Which it truly drives them to validation loop. When in aome instances when a opinion or thought is shared and a chord of people agree, it offers a quick rush of validation which encourages them to share even more content, pushing them further into a false sense of security. However, this can backfire; the more comfortable they become at broadcasting their unfiltered thoughts, the less guarded they become. Eventually, that content hits the wrong audience or crosses a line, and the backlash is swift...leading to public scrutiny, apathy, or being "canceled" entirely, etc. Which at one point made them feel untouchable becomes their undoing.

I know someone is going to point out the obvious: '"You’re on here doing the exact same thing, so you're just as guilty". And honestly? Fair. By just being on this platform, I'm participating in the same thing; however, there’s a difference between using these spaces to broadcast your ego and using them to "watch the chaos". I’m not here to police anyone's life choices or chase likes to feel validated. I'm mostly just here because I find human behavior fascinating, and I like seeing how other people think, as well as exchanging or expanding ideas. The irony doesn't escape me though, I'm looking at a broken system while standing right in the middle of it. But maybe acknowledging that is all we can really do before the algorithm feeds us another round of brain rot....

Popular in General Video games have been terrible this decade

0 Upvotes

Video games are made by developers that are out of touch with their audience, usually spending more effort on pushing a political agenda, funded and published by greedy and out of touch old heads, hated by people that buy every installment of the franchise, and adored by miserable people that see the world in black and white and defend the installment because they're fed up by the constant complaining

Literally everyone will agree with me that earth will become a perfect utopia for humanity if total human population is less than 5 millions.

0 Upvotes

Science literally proved that planet earth can only sustain total human population of less than 5 millions. Exceeding 5 millions, and earth's environment start degrading exponentially and become overcrowded.

Imagine how beautiful earth will be, how clean the air will be, how clear the water will be, when total human population is less than 5 millions.

Popular in General CMV: Indians/Arabs aren’t considered Asian for a reason

0 Upvotes

I’m Arab and I can agree that Indians/Arabs have distinct differences from East Asians (Chinese/Korean/Viet/Filipino, etc) despite being from the same continent. The reason we aren’t considered Asian is bc East Asian immigrants came to America first. Same goes for why North Africans in the US aren’t called “African-American.” I know that racial terms aren’t always literal/accurate despite geography, but I’m here to talk about it. No, I’m not saying that Indians/Arabs aren’t from the continent of Asia, I’m just pointing out that literal meanings aren’t always used. Think of idioms that don’t make sense, (ex: “break the ice”) that’s the same idea.

It is harmful for children to see non -sexual nudity on a beach or at home. It is much healthier they first experience it with porn - this is an implied popular opinion

0 Upvotes

Many in the US are terrified of their kids seeing nudity at home like parent coming out of the shower or swimming in the pool. Instead they implicitly believe it is healthier that their first exposure is through Internet porn. People don't say it but that is a given. Hollywood and TV allow violence because that is less damaging to children than nudity. The PTSD rates of babies that breast feed and the original humans must be awful!
