Some people like to keep it low-key. Others are eager to spark some open-ended conversations. The remaining love diving deep into the burning zone where statements uttered are so controversial they get the discussion sizzling in no time.

And what for? Let’s say if you have a burning unpopular opinion, you’d know why. And there’s a safe corner of the internet known as the UnpopularOpinion subreddit that has had the most disputable points of view flowing since 2012. By disputable, I mean things like water with cereal is better, and clapping for healthcare workers who are only doing their job is cringy.

So let’s see what the community of a whopping 1.9M members is living for right below, and be sure to hit us in the comments in case you have an opinionated bomb to drop that will likely stir some reactions.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Yeah sure, it’s futuristic and all, but a lot of them are just becoming a hassle and a hazard. 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 see a lot of posts on Reddit of people whom have gone through traumatic experiences in their lives; be it war, rape, suicide, depression, that sort of stuff.

Usually, 50% of a comment thread consists of 'man up' and 'X can't happen to men!'. It's annoying as all hell, and yeeah often those comments do get downvoted, but not enough to send them straight to the bottom of the list.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts You see it all over the internet these days, people recording themselves giving food or money or whatever to homeless people. All it is for these people is a personal boost, a way to get views on the internet and make themselves feel important. I think these actions should be shot down not praised and receive 10 million video views. If you’re really this good person you claim to be you would give to the homeless, give to shelters, help people and not tell anyone else about it, it’s that simple.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Graduates and school leavers already have an extremely hard time finding work in todays economy, most of which are forced to do jobs that had nothing to do with their fields because companies are too lazy to train and too cheap to offer training, they always want some other company to train them. Also if you require 3-5 years experience then the salary of those jobs should be considerably higher and NOT the basic entry level salary, they just want more for less. So long as your qualifications meet the required job they should be considered.

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.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts Why on earth would ANY adult want to have their ass wiped by their children? I can think of nothing more humiliating or dehumanizing.

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.

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.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts I don’t understand why it’s illegal in some places and under many circumstances to sleep in your car. Your car is your property and you should have the right to sleep in it without question. For any reason whatsoever. It could be that you can’t afford an apartment or you just decided not to drive home drunk and sleep in your car. Or any other damn reason. I understand if you park your car on someone’s property illegally and try to sleep in it you should be forced to find another spot but sleeping in your car should be legal. It’s property and no one should be telling me that I can’t sleep in it.

I've never heard people making fun of bald guys. Now comb-overs, that's another story... Y'know what though, I have heard something similar when he's hitting on a girl who's, like, 20 years younger than him. And in those cases, it's not about being bald, it's about being a pervy creep hitting on women young enough to be your daughter.

Unless you’re adopting them, there’s no reason why you should have 10 kids. Especially if you’re struggling with your other kids.

Just absolutely no fu**ing reason why. Four kids(biological) should be the maximum and even that’s pushing it.

I understand that students should be encouraged use the references at the bottom for true research but this is not taught. Students are simply told ‘Stay away from Wikipedia, anyone can change it, it’s completely unreliable’.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts As of right now I am 18 years old and looking into the future is depressing. I figure I’m gonna have to work 8 hours a day, sleep 8 hours a day and then have 8 hours a day to myself. This does not include things like getting ready for work, commute or shopping/cooking. At the end of the day I’m only going to have a few hours to do what I want... for over 40 years. It seems like my entire life is just preparing me to follow directions and then putting me into a factory where I’m a brick in a wall (reference intended). When I tell other people this, I get a response along the lines of: “That’s what everyone has to do,” or “That’s how its always been.” Why? Even if it is how life works. How it has to be to maintain quality for everyone. What is the point in living? This is existential crisis material. Thanks for reading.

tl;dr - People think I’m crazy for thinking working 1/3rd of your life is crazy.

There is absolutely no way my hubby will make it to that age working the job he has. We are just drones for the government.

I agree and used to think the same. Now that I'm 31 and have a full time job, yes, I do wish we had more time for ourselves, but it's also true that this life isn't as no life as it seemed back then. You eventually get to experience a not so miserable life, and you do get the off-work personal/family quality time as well. Unless you end up in a toxic working environment with abusive rules. And that happens to many people, so be careful out there.

The 8 on-8 off-8 sleep you mention is a concept that’s only a little over 100 years old—-and is now the norm only because of unionization! There actually is talk right now of a shortened work week, as people generally have about 6 good hours of work in them before they become mentally exhausted, physically exhausted even before then. Take that up as a cause, get your friends to do the same, and maybe your generation won’t have to spend 40, 50, 60 or more hours per week on the hamster wheel. It’s the duty of each generation to question the status quo, and change the world for the better. I have faith in you that you will succeed.

I know there are people saying that this sounds "lazy" or "entitled", but I agree with you!! If we could just for a second stop considering the very engrained idea that "this is the way it's always been, the way it has to be, and the way it always will be" I feel like a lot more people would see that there are problems with it. (Perspective: I live in America (and I know I've seen people around the internet and on this site commenting on the unhealthy workaholic culture in the USA) so that's where I'm coming from...) Surely there are ways we could improve it?! Because it seems like the importance of things like happiness and mental healthiness is no match for just getting up before the sun and going to work all day and then coming home and possibly having even more work to do. (So maybe some of the commenters are from countries where it's a little better? I don't know, I just feel like the aspect of different perspectives is coming into play here.)

It really is a crazy mindset, the "you work most of your life" mindset. Because as more and more things becomes automated and there is not enough work to go around, we should be *happy* and everyone should be able to work a little less. Instead, anyone who doesn't work "full time" is degraded and those who can't find work are assumed to be lazy. WE DON'T NEED TO BE DOING THIS ANY MORE. Living wages + normalized shorter work weeks would solve a *lot* of problems.

You don't "have to" do anything, however, if you wish to have money and have some control over your own destiny, you need to do something you get paid for. What exactly do you think should be offered in place of work? That you play video games all day and some random entity pays you for doing nothing? Or we create a money-less society where all basic needs are met by the government? That's been tried, it doesn't work.

Few people in history have had the luxury of being able to do "what they want" for several hours a day, stone age people had to work all day hunting and gathering. Most animals spend all their lives "working" to provide for themselves and their young. That is just life. You wouldn't be happy anyway if you didn't have a purpose and a reason to get out of bed. That being said, I know there are a lot of shitty jobs and a lot of people who are practically enslaved, having to work more than 12 hours a day. You having 8 hours to do "what you want" every day is a luxury to a lot of people.

I was thinking the same as you do. Then I understood that the narrative that we repeat in our mind is the one that will become true to you. Don't waste your life finding reasons why life is not worth it. There are plenty. Take time to find reasons why life is worth it. There are plenty. Then repeat the one that are positive in meditation. Solidifying your neural pathways. You will become happier, and be happy to pay the price of what is unpleasant to get to the juicy stuff in life. When you will have happy chemicals in your brain, you will look back finding silly that you kept focussing on the negative...

Now we have come so far with our technology, that one farmer can feed a village. Why aren't we working less? We've come up with hundreds of bull s**t jobs as "managers" and "marketing", started wanting stuff we don't need. If we'd all stick to what we need, we could all manage with working just two days a week. But unfortunately, the profits of robotics have gone to the lucky few while the rest of us need to find new ways to make ourselves and our labour of value.

So who pays for your early retirement then? Why would people who can work perfectly well in an older age (60 is rediculously young) be allowed to do nothing? Especially in the western world, too few kids are born to provide for all the elders. Who is going to do all the necessary work? This is a structural problem more than an ethical one. We could of course import young workers from abroad, as has been done before. That's a different challenge, though.

You do You put money into savings for your retirement . 60 isn’t ridiculously young especially when you factor in declining health as you age . I don’t think anyone is talking about people retiring for someone else to take care of them They are just talking about having a life to live

I remember when I graduated high school(2000) there was a commercial where I graduate says something along the lines of "I've looked into my options. I'm liking retirement." I'm not sure I've ever agreed more with a commercial.

I like my job sometimes but I agree, I don't want to be there all the time! I want to do things I enjoy! After working, I have to have down time because I'm exhausted. So I sleep most of my "free" time away. By the time I retire, the retirement age will be 80. Who in the hell wants to work that long?

You have to find a job you would enjoy, that you would want to work at every day, also it's kind of needed, if everyone stopped working than you wouldn't have anymore of anything. Any people that work for T.V or the food industry. Plus the reason why people work at all is to make money, with money you can buy anything you want... if you want the product, people have to make the product and it's a cycle.

It was a good fit for me and I don't regret a day of it, but my advice to you is take any crappy job you can to get the money you need, and then travel. Travel as much as you can and go as far as possible. Anything can open to you and with luck you will find what gives your life meaning.

The retirement age from my Civil Service job was 60. I hadn't worked enough years though to get a big enough pension. Currently the state retirement age is 67 and it's going up to 70 in the next few years. If you are a manual worker it's VERY likely that you will become too unwell to work and what time you have left will not be enjoyed..

I also disagree with the idea that getting a job right away is "the way things are". Also, it is not easy to "find a job you love so it doesn't feel like work" Not everyone enters or graduates from college knowing exactly what they want to do afterwards, they don't have a job they really want to do. Many don't have any idea what they really have a passion for until much later. Sometimes it takes years for someone to discover their true passion, and yet somehow they're expected to immediately jump into the workforce and do a job they may never find to be fulfilling.

It could, if people were willing to go back to the living standards of earlier times and consume only as much as was consumed back then. We could easily achieve that with a fraction of the work that was necessary previously. But the work time that was freed up by automation has largely been invested into higher throughput and increased complexity.

My dad bought a small apartment complex when my sis and I were in high school. It was our job to do all of the yard work and make empty apts. ready for new tenants. Worked two jobs to get through college. Got my first "real" job thinking I deserved a CEO salary and perks. Woke up, found a job that would allow me to work my ass off for 15 years...weekends, evenings, whatever it too. Still took time to travel. Retired with a paid-for house and two paid-for cars at 50-years old. So, now what? All of my friends work or have families, I didn't take time to develop hobbies (beyond travel)

Its work. I am an IT specialist. What does my day consist of? Sitting in a window less office behind a desk wiht 3 monitors and a computer. Behind my desk is a book shelf. I constantly get bombarded with phone calls, text from MS Teams, and emails from dumbasses who should not have a computer. Asking if the power is on wehn they say the computer is not working is a valid question. Many times it is actually powered off. A lot of people are working from home. I get calls seveal times a month that the VPN disconnected. I have no control over their home wifi. That is the source of the outage, no the company VPN. Prior being stuck in the 3rd level of hell (the the help desk) I wrote code. Coding is OK until you have to deal with the customers. I had one person who wanted a change, then a month later have the change removed. Trying to control scope creep is a major concern. Why do I do it? I have a mortgate to pay, I need medical insurance. Other bills to pay. Guess what. Life sucks

You're spoiled in the wealth of yours and the western economy. There are economies where lives goes a very different way. You can choose your way in freedom, but that's not everybody choice in this world. There are parts where humans live their life, to try and provide theirselves from foot and not knowing if there is any food to eat at all that day. And by saying that's not my fault, or saying they have choices too! Make sure you have looked good enough at the world and place you live your life. Wanking over your depression over your future view, make me laugh and wish you the toughest time in life, to teach you anything about life itself. Just a kind way to make you understand in the world you live in and what the history it has. Your history was made to make your life a little bit easier, than anytime before and all you do is wank about your future view. You made my day.

Word of advice - Aim to retire in your mid fifties. I have seen a lot of experienced people kicked to the curb then, to be replaced by younger staff with new skills. And ... don't expect your employer to keep you up to date on your job skills. It's cheaper for them to hire new and move on.

The joys of living in a pod society. Money makes the world go round and by working you add to the cogs that make society turn. I hate working, I've hated working ever since I started but unless you can set up your own business where you can choose how many hours you work a day and accept the consequences or live in the middle of nowhere as if there's no society, I'm afraid it's the price you pay for having all the comforts that cone with living in a society. Everytime I think it sucks going to work and being so tired with not enough time to do what I want I think at least its better than it was 100 years ago; who knows, maybe one day I'll have my own business or I'll get a job that pays more and then reduce my hours. There are other creative ways of not working full time if you're willing to get the skills needed or find a clever way of working around full time work. Working a 1/3rd of your life is pretty crazy though.

I think the idea should be that you have to offer the world something of value, in return for valued resources you use to live. Maybe technology will create enough abundance that we won’t have to do that, if we share it around enough. But I think it’s still good to keep the ideal of contribution in mind.

We have 2day weekends, some national holidays and I have an additional 5wks (100hrs) off each year. Whenever someone (in my country, that is) complains about working full time (40hrs) but has no kids, I always ask them why they aren't working part time. It's unfortunately still frowned upon but we don't exist just to work! I love my job but need time for myself (and my family) too.

Your life is longer than 40 years. You will not be working the same job all of that time, usually. You can educate and prepare yourself to do something that is meaningful to you, as well. There are days off and holidays. You meet many people at work that are probably higher quality than most you meet in bars. The way you put it looks so dreary, I don't blame you for balking, but it really isn't like that. Make your life something you can be proud of.

First, you won't be working 8 hours a day, you will have weekends or a couple of days off in between. There are things called vacations you occasionally get to take. And lastly, it all depends on your profession. If you do nothing but make or deliver pizzas day in and day out, you're probably going to be working more each day to afford living on your own. If you take the time to go to school and get a degree, you may still work long hours to prove yourself, but at better pay and with a possible earlier retirement depending on what you do. Lastly, you don't have to follow any "plan." Be a bachelor all your life..share a 2-bedroom apartment with 3 other people and split costs. Then you can work part time and spend the rest of your time goofing off. If they can do it in Japan...hey...

Even before the modern work culture, you still had to spend "1/3" of your life or more, surviving, gathering food, building shelter etc. There never has been a time where you didn't have to work to provide.

I felt accomplished, able, and responsible making my own money, supporting myself...and I have a wonderful life. I have traveled, had mad love affairs, written a movie, and had a child. It is life, so live it. Besides its your choice, if you don't want to work, live off the grid. Not working for the man, will prove harder I suspect .

your looking at it backwards, it's not "work for 40years then go and enjoy what's left", it's "live for 40 years and then put your feet up when your older and weaker and working is too hard." a life without work has very little meaning, you don't find too many references to historical figures that read "then he sat on the couch and did nothing for decades". The secret is to find a job that lets you do the work you enjoy, that allows you to feel fulfilled.

Life does seem shorter when you spend your free time complaining about how unfair life is. It's your life, you're responsible for it. You need a job and you need to budget. If you choose to look at it like you're wasting your life, that's on you (also stupid)

It's your fault if you limit your view to this nightmare scenario. Your generation has an almost infinite number of possibilities my generation didn't have. Learn to code and you can work anywhere in the world you want and whatever ours you want. Read Tim Ferris' 4 Hour Workweek to get ideas. There are hundreds of articles on the Medium website that lay out step by step how to set your self up for online work and side hustles. If you're stuck in the 40 hrs/ week work paradigm, it's your own fault.

I can see how that can be depressing but I agree with the others - it for sure used to be much worse. We have way more free time than we used to even decades ago (it's not been that long since the concept of a weekend didn't exist). It might be useful to talk this through in therapy and I'd say the best way to fight this feeling is to find a job you actually enjoy.

You get a job that adds something to society. Makes a difference. If you see work as just a way to pay the bills, nothing wrong with that but you ain't gonna be happy. Also, your job defines you, it gives you confidence and helps you to feel you are part of society. When you are unemployed and sat at home watching re-runs of Knight Rider you will soon realise how lucky you were to have a job a reason to get up in the mornings.

They are usually fighting against an army that were once financed and backed by their government anyway. And if that war is won, the side the soldiers fought for, risked their lives for, could easily become the new enemy and they end up going back and fighting them again. It's pointless.

With the way technology is advancing today, we're able to see people for who they really are and called them out. Say what you want but atleast people from other races are fighting together. It isn't perfect, but I can say, atleast we're trying.

I've found people with less social media presence tend to be less narcissistic and worlds more interesting. It seems like everyone wants to be an influencer nowadays or needs to feel validated for whatever reason. Don't even get me started on influencing. You can be a catch and not put yourself out there so much. Idk, maybe I just enjoy my privacy.

Right at the start of the world pandemic he was posting on twitter how the panic is stupid and that people are panicking without a reason, even though people were falling and dying like flies into thousands of numbers, he belittled the virus and said how it was not that bad, and even compared it to a common flu, now he posts tweets to free the country and that people have lost their freedom, other than that he is praizing Texas on twitter for openning up stores and businesses, this is a great example of a billionaire that doesn't care about people and only cares about his money, i don't know how i feel about him at the moment, i am sad because he was one of the billionaires that were doing good for earth.. but this is just a big disappointment, i wonder where will he take this.

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.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts In my opinion, math is the most beautiful of any "traditional school subject," but the thing is schools are set up in a way that encourages teaching math as a bunch of formulas to memorize. And real math is seldom about memorization. I heard a friend describe math as "the most useful game humanity has ever created" and I have to say I agree with that. Math is like a game, it's a playground where you try to extrapolate truths from a set of rules. I will now spend the rest of this post explaining parts of math that are ignored in schools but are super interesting to me. My explanations don't use any technical math terms, but some of the videos linked will require some thinking.

"Why yes here it is, I'm so sorry I forgot. You're right." (Puts on mask)

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts My words might be all over the place, just trying to gather my thoughts.

It’s crazy to me how in this day and age we advocate for women’s mental health, we advocate for people to be understanding of women’s needs. But i noticed with the whole Will smith debacle (His wife jada was sleeping with someone while they were still married but taking a break) anyways in the video he looks really sad and like he’d been crying - might’ve just been tired but nevertheless, the internet wouldn’t stop with the jokes. 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.

This is something I seriously want people's opinions on. I saw a post of Leo DiCaprio taking a selfie with a young fangirl (looked like 12yo or something) at the US Open and just sitting there chatting to her. The first comment I see is "Idk this makes me uncomfortable"

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.

I think backstories influences the judges' decision unfairly. Who would you rather choose, a kid who got cancer or an actually talented person but has had a good life. It's called America's Got Talent for a reason. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not some sympathy-less person. I certainly feel bad for them and do hope they have a better life in the future. I just feel like talent shows should be judged on actual talent.

People Are Sharing Their Unpopular Opinions On This Online Group, And Here Are Their 50 Most Interesting Posts It is so frustrating to shop on Amazon with the Chinese sellers and manufacturers on the site.

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.

Please feel free to downvote me into oblivion, whatever, I don't care, I'm just sick of the nonsense.

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. But learning how to... I don't know, not die when navigating anything but flat terrain seems like it should be part of being a grown human.

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.
