On This Instagram Page, People Share Unpopular Opinions And Here Are 50 Of The Most Polarizing Ones (New Posts)
Everyone is entitled to having their own beliefs. Some people keep them to themselves. Some like to blare them out every chance they get. And others have views so unconventional, they completely go against the status quo.
When not every opinion is greeted with open arms, we’re lucky to have the internet where we can spark a discussion with complete strangers. There’s an Instagram account dedicated to sharing some of the best posts from the popular subreddit called Unpopular opinion. From electric vehicles to stuffed animals, members of this community have something to say about virtually any aspect of life.
So get ready to dive into some of the best posts this account had to offer. Upvote the ones you agree with, and, if you want to stir some emotions, share your own disputable views in the comments below. Psst! After you’re done, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

I agree, too many times people feel entitled due to their age. You don't owe anyone anything. Congrats on the souvenir and the story you will be able to tell your friends and family.
In Finland, speeding tickets are income based. Just as an example.
Sometimes, we're discouraged from expressing our unpopular opinions because of the adverse reactions we might get from the people around us. Whether we’re talking about politics, religion, or popular culture, sharing our deepest beliefs can make someone feel pretty irritated.
However, while some end up scratching their heads from confusion, others see a like-minded person and gladly show their support in heated discussions. After all, a controversial point of view does not instantly mean that it’s uncommon. When you push your fears of being the odd one to the side, it’s much likely you'll encounter others sharing the same thoughts as you.
Brandwatch, a digital consumer intelligence company, was on a mission to investigate the most popular unpopular opinions on social media. They looked at consumers’ mentions from January 1 to June 30, 2020, excluding news, retweets, and shares. Results showed that 1.6M people shared their controversial beliefs in this period. Also, there were 34% more mentions during the lockdown compared to the four months prior.
Greed and narcissism... it's sad, but it's human nature. The majority of the people out there are fake as heck, and will do things like posting videos of themselves crying on the internet as PR moves, to help promote and enhance their brands, to help them gain those clicks, likes, follows, and subscribes. Even more sad is that there ARE the odd few out there who honestly have no one and no where else to turn to, and are using the internet to reach out. But those odd genuine few are usually buried and overshadowed by all the loud popular influencers out there, with their TikToks and viral videos and their memes.
Harassment is the right word. What happened to Diana and other famous people with the paparazzi actually haunting them, spying and giving no Fu*ks. But here's a thought: Who the hell buys those rag mag's is an accomplice bc if they stop buying that filth then the paparazzi will (nearly) go away or at least be way less.
When it comes to the topics people touch on, the top ones were about characters in pop culture, TV shows, dislike of fandoms, and books. People shared their complaints about some of the bestsellers of the century and aired their grievances about how some shows have become outdated. For example, 34K mentions called out Friends "for being hugely popular, despite some aspects not being acceptable today."
The researchers also looked into Reddit, where 958K users shared their gripes. "It seems like lockdown got to Reddit users, too. Posts to r/UnpopularOpinions increased 105%." They found that many of these mentions touched on things that happened on the platform itself. Most of them were focused on sports players, subreddits, and seeing change as not being good.
I read a quote before, wouldn't it be safer to fire blanks at someone than fire bullets at someone with a bullet proof vest
Gambling ads are my pet hate. My uncle lost his house and family due to a stupid gambling addiction. I don't want to see that crap every 30th tweet. So now I just report them.

They all used to be limited, banned or illegal.

It shouldn't be possible to advertise age restricted products on any platform that only requires a minimum age of 13 to sign up.
They target the ads based on the registration info you give.

And the reverse mortgage ones! They target the elderly and you can literally lose your home
Load More Replies... Pay the darned subscription fee. If you've given up alcohol, that's like three bar drinks, and you're still way ahead financially. Conversely, don't listen to Spotify free. Spotify has to pay the artists for their music. Of course they're going to accept any legal advertising to do so. Would be nice if you could opt out of certain ads though.
Even better? Boycott Spotify altogether because they treat artists like crap. They make no money at all.

Alcohol addiction is a very real problem. Constant advertisements are a constant encouragement to people to relapse. The rehab industry makes tons of money off of their ads.
I would contact their customer service and let them know you are cancelling your subscription until this ad is removed or you can remove it. I honestly think that alcohol culture is one of the most toxic and aggressively pushy things out there
If he's hearing ads, he's already getting it for free, genius. They won't miss him as a "customer".

I FEEL THIS! I got out of detox in December. Holy s**t, the amount of alcohol ads I started noticing. Regular cable, YouTube, Spotify… its nonstop and is ALWAYS a trigger. Makes you want it.
I think maybe these are targeted ads. I don’t drink or gamble and have never had an ad for either of these come up on social media
He’s right tho, there should be a personalisation option where you pick what theme ads you want
Here is the problem, it's drinks for you, gambling for someone else, gaming for other people, sex for others. While not impossible, it would be very hard. Ads are far from smart. If I buy something, I am assured to see an ad for the very thing I have just purchased for weeks thereafter (I bought a fender telecaster guitar a couple of months ago and I still get ads for the very same guitar, same color. Why would I need two?). I also no longer drink and I don't miss it, but beer commercial do make me thirsty. They look awesome. I make myself a Black Cherry and Orange shaved ice instead.
Not to take anything away from his story, (I think he is a Bad*** for staying so strong in his recovery) It seems any time I try to lose weight, I get bombarded with fast food advertising. Like no wonder Americans have a high obesity rate when we have commercials with burgers and other junk shoved in our faces 24/7. I can be completely content with snacking on carrot sticks or drinking a fruit and vegg smoothie but then be hit with three or four food commercials for burgers, ice cream, and soda, now all of a sudden my carrot sticks or smoothie wasn't as satisfying as it was a few minutes ago. I hate it
I don’t use Spotify. I prefer to buy the songs I like, (or rip them from cds if I own the cd) and play them on my phone. Also, it works when there is no internet, and it’s ad free!
If you can bring beer to a BBQ without succumbing, you should be able to handle an ad. Maybe try hypnosis or something?
I can't drink, for medical reasons. It's a really easy way to tell, very quickly, who my real friends are. When someone asks if I want a drink, I'll say something like "Sure! Do you have water, iced tea, or Coke?" If they smirk and say, "Aww, c'mon, don't be a buzzkill, wouldn't you rather have a beer/wine/whatever?" if they continue to press the issue, they're doing it to be an a$$hole. If they can just nod, smile, and bring me something non-alcoholic without complaining, then we'll probably be friends.
AGREED they took cigarette commercials and ads but left alcohol,like WTF and gambling! I no why gambling these states make so much off of it in every form. But gambling is and impulse control addiction that destroys families on many levels and every commerical break here in Michigan since they approved sports betting/gambling over n over every break. Smh. It's gross. Both types of ads.
I remember I saw this quote somewhere I can't remember exactly how it goes but it's something like when they came for the smokers I didn't smoke so I didn't say anything, when they came for the drinkers I don't drink so I didn't say anything when they came for the gamblers I don't Gamble so I didn't say anything when they came for the overweight I'm not overweight so I didn't say anything when they came for the elderly I'm not elderly so I didn't say anything then when they came for me there was no one left to say anything. I've always remembered that and it's been years since I read it I know that's not the way it went I was paraphrasing it but I do believe we should stand up and speak for what's wrong and I am recovering drug addict prescription pain pills so I know how hard it can be you sit and watch these ads for all these wonderful medicines that cure pain and I'm having to live with my pain because I can't take anything if I do I'll wind up killing myself
I believe all ads for potential addiction should be banned. Meds, alcohol (even low alcoholic like beer), tobacco, gambling... Also: loans, mortgages, credit cards etc. - things that might push someone to get into unnecessary debt. Where I live, "quick loans" are a plague - ads are everywhere, suggesting you can get a loan no matter your financial status - on lampposts, bus stops, over the internet. This is disgusting. I tear them down whenever I can.
I have a paid Spotify account and am not worried about ads. This is not the case in other countries?
I’m in the US and most of the ads I see are for expensive cars and then how much you can save on car insurance! And healthy dog food. And fresh, healthy meals delivered to your door! And…Hard seltzer! I don’t have a car. Or a dog. I cook my own healthy meals. I don’t drink (anymore) “They” have my demographic all wrong! 😀🙀😂
If cigarette ads are no longer okay, booze ads should be as well.
They are wasting my time and their money advertising that stuff to me.
addiction is a disease. i haven't covered it yet in psychology, but i am next year, but i know that addiction ( severe) is sooo hard to beat, and constantly getting adverts ect for them can make a person relapse even harder, and eventually even cause death, like in alcholoism, so in my opinion, adverts portaying addictive things / behaviour should be banned, and anyone who promotes them should receive jail time for causing mental harm
I think if you pay a little extra, you can opt out of any ads on Spotify.
I think we should go back to making ads for alcohol illegal. If they can bar cigarettes and vapes from ads, they can do it with alcohol.
i think they should ban all alcohol commercials and gambling commercials. we treat addicts like scum and advertise addictive substances and behaviors. it’s absolute nonsense.
I really want the ability to opt out of certain advertisements. While I have adblock on my computer, my phone has no way to block ads, which is a shame given some of the ones I've gotten. In particular, I'd really like the option to stop seeing the ads for Amazon which explain the "benefits" of working there, especially as I started getting those especially after the tornado that killed multiple Amazon workers because they weren't allowed to leave the warehouse, and can definitely see ads like that being outright triggering to many.
Am addict, triggered ALL the time. Respectfully disagree. You MUST learn to cope w it! It's LIFE and no one has to walk on eggshells lest they trigger you!! If your sobriety is THAT delicate, take a break from consuming ANY media until you're better at it!
You should instantly mute any advertising, and look away. Not just alcohol.
You pay the sub no adds, there is the opt out.. I never heard an add, but always paid for no adds...
Switch to Pandora, then upgrade to the paid, ad free version. It's inexpensive, ad free, and unlimited "skips", of any songs you don't like/wish to listen to. Well worth the price/time.
Spotify only has adds if you don't subscribe. Buy some cds or pay the subscription fee.
I want to opt out of pregnancy/baby product ads that seem to find me everywhere. I can't have kids and it is a pain I can't describe and somehow despite never searching for baby products I get ads for ovulation tests, follow on milk and nappies. Its so hurtful to my mental well-being to be exposed to that without my consent.
I also keep getting ads for cat food and cat toys even after my cat has sadly passed away, I wish there was a way to stop it as it breaks my heart every time
Search for products online, put them in your cart, don't buy. You will be inundated by ads for that product. Try Highlights for Children - they have lots of products to sell me.
This right here. Fun fact alcohol is the most abused psychoactive substance on the face of the Earth. And because they have such good lawyers you can't sue them for the irreparable damage they have done to our society.
There needs to be a way to opt out on any disturbing advertising that you or your family do not want to see - ads for sex, violence, war, infidelity, misogynistic or misandristic behavior, (all disguised as "cute" and "harmless" cartoon or multiplayer video game ads, I've discovered. My family does not need infidelity, abuse, and sensual "backstories" as the ads for "Family Farm" and other similar video games, nor violent and murderous zombie games game ads. I don't want to see them either, but there is no way to block or opt out of these types of ads.
It's because gambling and alcohol depend on addicts to make a profit. Something like the top 40% of the heaviest drinkers consume roughly 80% of the alcohol sold.
I have raised CS tickets of that nature with them for similar reasons and they either ignore it or in the simplest terms told me to F off.
The part of capitalism we didn’t see coming. SLAP, palm meet forehead!!!
There is. You just pay $10 a month for the full version of Spotify. Seriously, this isn't hard.
Unfortunately, you just have to get over it. As someone recovering from an eating disorder, I can’t get upset over seeing food commercials. If you have the willpower to go into a liquor store to buy beer for a bbq, you can handle hearing an ad.
That's different though. Food is a necessity for life. Alcohol isn't.

You are totally correct about that being based on their personal browsing history. If someone is struggling to stay sober, or not gamble, or has just started that journey they need every bit of support they can get. Being able to opt out of the ad on their own feed seems like such a small thing to help someone not relapse. It would not stop either of us seeing the ad if we so chose. The option to not have that ad pushing at them constantly, while they are working on staying sober or out of other addictive behaviours, I feel, would be the least that could be done to help anyone out there with substance misuse issues, without affecting the rest of us not necessarily needing that support

I want to opt out of religious channels on streaming/cable platforms. Religion is the worst invention of mankind.
sorry to tell you the ugly truth.....you're not s recovering alcoholic, you may not be drinking, but you're still a dry drunk, blaming ads for wanting to keep drinking, taking beers to bbqs, you're just a bomb waiting to go off........addiction is not a disease, it's a conscious act on your part, it's all mental, you're either mentally strong or mentally weak, it's only you that can change, not circumstances you hide behind
They exist, but you pay for the service. People like free with commercials because they can't always afford to pay.

So while it can be fun to share your controversial views online, they also let others say opposing views, have heated discussions, and see things from different perspectives. Anna Akbari, P.hD., is a sociologist, writer, and speaker who shared her thoughts on why unpopularity isn’t necessarily a bad thing in a piece on The Psychology Today.
She explained that if we want to be happy, successful, and feel of service, we don’t actually need to appeal to the masses. "See, we’re complicated beings, each with our own unique experiences, full of biases and contradictions and, hopefully, a point of view," she wrote. "Having a point of view is a good thing, even when that view isn’t universally embraced."
You ruined it with "sure they're cute" because that's the whole point, they're NOT cute, people have just been trained into thinking they are. People need to realise that inbred dogs with serious health problems are the exact opposite of cute.
100% - the cheater is the one at fault - unless the people they cheated with is also someone who you have a relationship with then it's equal blame as they both owe you loyalty. I've never understood the blame being passed to the person they cheat with, and it's usually women who blame the other woman when their guy cheats - I sure there's a patriarchal link to all that that could be deciphered but seriously, they're just a shitty person if they knew he was involved with someone - if they didn't then they're just as much a victim in it all. This idea that men can't help themselves if offered sex has to stop - you don't accidentally have sex - yeah, you may regret it after but you totally know what you're doing while you're doing it.
While we can wholeheartedly stand by one issue, we can also not see eye to eye on another. "Agreeing to disagree on most things in life is fine—assuming it doesn’t restrict the liberty or human rights of others. It’s when we start to think that we need to agree on everything all the time to merely function together that we get into trouble," Akbari mentioned.
Needless to say, popularity isn’t essentially bad. Lots of things that are commonly and generally accepted by our society are considered as "safe". Akbari explained that we don’t have to immediately or categorically reject the popular stuff but rather "selectively embrace it, or at least occasionally challenge it."
Yes, it really should be free. I have been in therapy on and off for years and it has been free (/paid by taxes). It's due to mental health issues so free healthcare = free mental healthcare. I learned a lot and cope much better. I wish it was available to all who needs it. To hear that people live with anxiety, ptsd, depression etc and can't afford therapy to learn how to cope better is really, REALLY sad.
I don't use those sites anymore. If you want me to subscribe, or permit adverts in my ad blocker, or click a cookie thing every time, I just bounce. Enjoy your bouncerate and zero ad revenue. ALSO. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop with the f*****g animated adverts. They drive my poor ADHD ass crazy. I can't stand it.
However, if your views are not clinging to the mainstream popular or if they tend to stir some unexpected or even rude reactions, "don't despair. You don’t need to bend toward conformity, and you may even be able to cash in—financially and socially—on stepping outside the conventional bounds."
She mentioned two rules that people who tend to lean into unpopularity should remember. The first one is that you should actually believe what you’re saying or doing. "Disagreeing for the sport of it is annoying and, rightfully, no one likes or respects you if you do that. So stop it," the sociologist advised.
In many cases I would agree but in many I would not. For example If an employee of mine turned out to be a KKK member, or they were videoed ridiculing a disabled person I would fire them without hesitation.
Retired teacher here, so let me weigh in on the realities. For elementary school kids, I'd overwhelmingly vote yes. Younger kids want to please the teacher; they want to be around the teacher, around other kids, in class. HOWEVER, as someone who taught middle and high school for 26 years, this does not work at all. By that time, there are a lot of kids who are looking for any way to leave the classroom. Yes, there are times they need to use the bathroom, but quite often they also want to socialize. There have been groups in certain years (not all by any means) that texted and met up in bathrooms and fought, too. It helps if a teacher has a sign in/out pass, or gives a certain number of tickets per month. Other children who don't have to use the bathroom COULD give a classmate a ticket if they felt generous.
"The second rule is to embrace your unpopular opinions with the knowledge and grace that not everyone shares your point of view," she continued. This rule can be quite tough since we humans have a general tendency to want others to agree with us. After all, it makes us feel heard and valued.
However, following this guideline "starts with a promise to both give up convincing other people to buy into your less popular opinions and to stop shaming them for their own thoughts and actions."
My previous boss (who was an absolute jerk!) used to say "there's a line of people waiting to take your place, if you quit." I did quite eventually. Seven years later and... my place is still unoccupied. And not just mine - two other people also quit from that office, and replacements could never be found. Or someone would start and then quit a month later due to the conditions. I guess the line of people for my spot turned out to be a bit too short ;)
Or, stop suing everyone for making mistakes. Yes there are serious negligence cases, but they're a lot less common than the cases where "negligence" is claimed, but it's just an honest mistake. Americans really need to stop that s**t.
We have to get rid of the phrase "unskilled labour". A janitor needs practical skills far above average (at least a good one does), and the working conditions of courier drivers or fastfood workers require a great deal of stamina and resilience. In any job you can go from beginner to master, working your job better or faster. Even more important, the economy absolutely depends on the jobs we tend to call "unskilled". Usually, in any company, if a middle manager is absent for some days, work continues more or less as usual. If the cleaning lady is absent, you notice the problems after a day or two the latest.
After that, it’s all about trusting yourself. If you believe that some things are just not right, don’t be shy and share your views with others because, chances are, there are people out there just like you. According to Akbari, there is value in dissent. "There’s often truth at the fringes and insight in unpopular perspectives. Greatness comes neither from blindly following nor from knee-jerk rejecting."
"Many of our greatest historical figures held really, really unpopular opinions. They did stuff that made people cringe or even retaliate against them. Going against the grain takes guts. And that courage is admirable, even if we disagree with what they’re saying or doing—but only when executed with integrity from a place of personal honesty," she wrote.
If you don't trust your partner, then you don't trust your own choice of partner.
We switched my kid to a Montessori school because they got to 6th grade and there was no AP option so they were just sitting there bored. It costs a good bit, but I have no reason to think public schools will be better for my kid than they were for me.
I'll probably be downvoted, but this also applies to the African American label. Your distant ancestors were from Africa,you were born in the US therefore you are American. You don't hear people of Asian or African ancestrysaying they are Chinese English or Ghanian Scottish,they are English or Scottish or just plain British.
Well this is obvious, it also applies to many of the "50 years of driving and no accidents" type people... Yes Mrs Miggins, but only because everyone has done such a good job of avoiding your ass
I swear a lot, but it's very very rarely AT someone. I'm not doing it to offend people, it just comes out :P
Jeans and hoodies get washed maybe once a month (or three) unless something has got on them. You don't need to smell like washing powder, and constantly washing everything is bad for you, your clothes, your bank account, and the planet. End of discussion, downvote me all you like I think you know by now I don't give a s**t.
My husband and I have slept in separate rooms for over 10 years (due to his loud snoring keeping me awake). We are very happy together and have no real problems in our relationship - we just both like a decent night sleep. People assume that we aren’t intimate and/or that our whole relationship is falling apart, which couldn’t be further from the truth.
It's not brave it's natural. This if my face. Don't like it. Screw off
Yup. I've been a passenger while the driver just drove around and around waiting for one of the "good" spots to become available. Finally I said, "If we had just parked in one of the far spots right away, we would have been inside the store by now."
Urgh. My ex-husband used to say that all the time especially during arguments. "No one cares" or "no one feel that way". Well, I do. You can't decide on what to care about or feel based on your feelings and use that as the only truth. Blah.
They say money doesn't buy happiness, but I think this is it...this is the happiness money can buy.
I feel like the human approach to "what to do with the waste/recycling of electric vehicles" will (and probably is) treated similar to the problem of what to do with nuclear waste, and unfortunately, our approach seems to be to sweep it under the rug and let future generations figure it out.

Unpopular opinion: people are getting so trigger-happy about calling people Karens that it's making more docile people afraid to speak up, especially women. I've never heard the word 'entitled' get thrown around like it has until recently. It's getting to the point that people are saying someone is entitled just because they did something that was a slight inconvenience to them. If that's not entitled, I don't know what is.
I agree. Some people (men and women) act "like a Karen". But nowadays its used mostly to harass women everytime that they are assertive

Nah I think a lot of these are pretty uncontroversial and some are really arbitrary. I think the person is targeting more conservative people, or just trolling (like the one about juice).
I have an unpopular opinion. I don't think anyone should be able to have pets or babies until they have passed significant psychological testing. I don't care about rich or poor. Some people should never be allowed to have responsibility for other living beings. If I ran the world, I'd be very unpopular, because I would be a terrible dictator and not tolerate most of the s**t that goes down in the world.

I don't understand why these are considered unpopular opinions I agree with almost everyone
You want something unpopular? I love human much more than I like animals. And pets. It doesn't mean that I dont like animals, or that I will harm them. But if I have to chose between a human an an animal, human will always come first. And I'll strongly judge you if you don't do the same.
Well, the top part of the list were again not unpopular opinions. The extended list was pretty lame. Not sure why I read to the end.
Unopoular opinion: men and women being half naked/in tiny outfits and dancing “sexy” on TikTok shouldn’t be allowed. Want likes and maybe money for looking like that and doing sexy things? Fine. Make an OnlyFans account. TikTok is used by SO many kids and they should not be watching that. I’m so afraid of my bf’s 8 yearold niece seeing a - way too - skinny girl in a bikini dancing sexy and getting thousands of likes, and thinking “that’s what I need to look like. But I don’t, so I wont ever get that many likes and nobody will ever like me!” And the same for young boys, for that matter. Both the “girls should look like that or nothing will do!” or “I don’t have a six-pack like him, so no woman will ever like me!”
Calling out a brand, business or company on something they are doing that is fraud, like for example, randomly adding extra data and thus money onto your internet bill, gets people called as Karens all the time. And these scammers get off scot free. They don't cancel your plan, when they were the ones calling you every week when you weren't a subscriber. They don't cancel or change your plan back to what it was unless you call them five times.
People commend Poland for taking in so many Ukranian refugees - yet African, Indian and literally any non-white students in Ukraine were restrained at the border, some were even beaten and abused. Poland doesn't need to be glorified for doing what is expected of them as human decency.
So this time BP copied an instagram account that copied reddit instead of copying reddit directly
I’m smiling and shaking my head at the fact that the hockey puck post was upvoted the most (of all topics discussed). Does this means that’s it’s the least polarizing of all the polarizing posts? Maybe the one thing we can all stand united on is that if we witness someone catch a ball or hockey puck at a game, we celebrate their win and let them keep it, guilt-free? 😁

Unpopulair opinion: Bubble tea is a waste of space and only popular because people say it's popular.
This s**t is nothing new. The hard reality is that people have been highlighting and pointing out and attempting to make better some of these issues for decades but the younger generation is just into calling them “boomers” and thinking that their revelations are new if unique snd the world needs to bend to their will. I get why customers are pissed office, some have good reason to be pissed off. Hell, how difficult is it to do your job with integrity?? BP is loaded with threads on what doesn’t work, what’s wrong and how things “should be”. It’s a hard lesson to learn that the world works for the ultra wealthy, not the little guy, yes it’s been getting worse, thank the GOP (the party of fear, gaslighting and greed). You want to make a difference, then invest in the work its going to take instead of being a huge part of the problem. Whining and bitching without learning what it takes to change things, just dismissing a whole generation IS A HUGE PART OFTHE PROBLEM!!!

But I don’t, so I wont ever get that many likes and nobody will ever like me!” And the same for young boys, for that matter. Both the “girls should look like that or nothing will do!” or “I don’t have a six-pack like him, so no woman will ever like me!”
Calling out a brand, business or company on something they are doing that is fraud, like for example, randomly adding extra data and thus money onto your internet bill, gets people called as Karens all the time. And these scammers get off scot free. They don't cancel your plan, when they were the ones calling you every week when you weren't a subscriber. They don't cancel or change your plan back to what it was unless you call them five times.
People commend Poland for taking in so many Ukranian refugees - yet African, Indian and literally any non-white students in Ukraine were restrained at the border, some were even beaten and abused. Poland doesn't need to be glorified for doing what is expected of them as human decency.
So this time BP copied an instagram account that copied reddit instead of copying reddit directly
I’m smiling and shaking my head at the fact that the hockey puck post was upvoted the most (of all topics discussed). Does this means that’s it’s the least polarizing of all the polarizing posts? Maybe the one thing we can all stand united on is that if we witness someone catch a ball or hockey puck at a game, we celebrate their win and let them keep it, guilt-free? 😁

Unpopulair opinion: Bubble tea is a waste of space and only popular because people say it's popular.
This s**t is nothing new. The hard reality is that people have been highlighting and pointing out and attempting to make better some of these issues for decades but the younger generation is just into calling them “boomers” and thinking that their revelations are new if unique snd the world needs to bend to their will. I get why customers are pissed office, some have good reason to be pissed off. Hell, how difficult is it to do your job with integrity?? BP is loaded with threads on what doesn’t work, what’s wrong and how things “should be”. It’s a hard lesson to learn that the world works for the ultra wealthy, not the little guy, yes it’s been getting worse, thank the GOP (the party of fear, gaslighting and greed). You want to make a difference, then invest in the work its going to take instead of being a huge part of the problem. Whining and bitching without learning what it takes to change things, just dismissing a whole generation IS A HUGE PART OFTHE PROBLEM!!!
If the gop is so greedy why is it liberals spending all the money?
