“Matcha Tastes Like Grass”: 30 Unpopular Opinions You’ll Either Strongly Agree Or Disagree With

Resting is being productive. Reading is being productive. Getting lost on Bored Panda is still being productive. I'm not technically busy busy.. Busy would be too occupied to step away for a moment.

No, it’s much worse! It’s so fake and cheesy because everyone is trying to make life events into inspirational business stories.

Social credit is destroying society. And yes, I mean these up-votes and down-votes, which conflate disagreeing with censoring.

It is the same with book prices.

And ChatGPT is great at validation

In the end, if it encourages people to be more active, I see no issue with that.

Self worth which is self love is needed to have a healthy relationship that is equal give and take. Many people if not all with no self love, no self worth and low self esteem are in toxic disfunctional relationships. Sure you can love them and not care about yourself but it won't make THEM love you back. You have to LOVE you. ❤️ Once you realize and see your worth you'll find people who can love you the way you deserve to be loved. Takes years of healing and realizing it comes from a broken connection from your mother. Parents should of lifted you up not kick you and criticized you. People spend their lives hyper focused on finding that special cosmic connection. It's just you needing to love yourself the way your mother couldn't. After all that connection with our mothers is the greatest there ever is. If we have an emotionally unavailable mother who isn't supporting... well

It is an experience, a form of art. If you are not a real foodie, don't waste your money on it.

I’m a vegetarian and was once forced to go to one of these uber fancy restaurants. Granted, it was about 15 years ago, but they had no vegetarian options. I was offered a plate of cold Raw vegetables for €27.. then. I refused and the rude waiter said I was ruining the party. I didn’t eat a lot that night, but I do remember drinking a lot of wine

What do you mean by ' fancy' ? Lovely tables, decorations, amazing food, wine and staff??

Some are a scam in that they can be pretentious for no reason (looking at some chain restaurants where everything is bought in and not much cooking actually happens) However the majority aren't and you get what you pay for. I am a fan of a fancy restaurant as they will do food better than I can (& I am a good cook/baker) or use ingredients that I wouldn't be able to source reasonably or at least in small enough quantities.

Having worked in several upmarket kitchens, there are lots of tricks to bump up the bill - from the way the dish is described (E.g. “Bangers & Mash” becomes “Rustic Saucisson on a bed of Pomme Purée” etc.), use of pointless garnishes which add nothing to the flavour of the dish (E.g. micro herbs, edible flowers - all served with tweezers, etc.), an opaque discretionary booking system, excessive theatrical service, prices to ensure only a certain class of people can eat there, etc. Of course sometimes these can be memorable meals but be prepared to have your bank account emptied.pretty rapidly.

I recently switched from full time to part time. I highly recommend it for anyone who can pull it off financially.

Minimalism is a scam by big small to sell more less

It might not make you more mature, but for most people it forces them to act like they are

I mean, true but mostly beacause there is an absurd social media industry that blasts out terrible hacks on a conveyor.

Like... I don't even HATE TS's music. It's perfectly acceptable run-of-the-mill pop, some of it even sounds kinda decent. What I hate is the notion that TS deserves the status of the Biggest Popstar Ever and some musical prodigy.

The problem is that the not-so-good ones are more ambitious and end up in higher positions, political or in companies and thus society is skwed.

I don’t agree because it peaked in the 90s

No way, but it taste like sea algae.

Motivation is what drives self-discipline.

Here in Austria, I have never even heard of it. It seems to be an US-Amrican thing -?

Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

It depends. A few fotos here and there don't ruin anything, but if your whole focus (see what I did there?) is on taking said fotos, then it's a problem.

AI does make some tasks easier and faster; at the same time it's struggling with salmons in a river 😄 Captur-68f...c9c0d9.jpg

I hate drama, and I express that by refusing to get involved when there's a fight or some other controversy going on, even when people are trying to pull me into it so they can get me to back them up. I'll only break that rule if someone involved is in real distress and needs me to stick up for them. I'll do that. But petty office bickering? Forget it. You deal with it.

The problem I have with meditation is that when I'm perfectly calm I want even more to unalive bad people.

But so is life

you gotta stop the test here

Getting old is awesome! Putting aside all the aches and pains, it's wonderful to not give a shìt about the little things anymore.

You can make your vacation they way you want it to be.

Proof of this statement: Drumpf.

We're talking real Norwegian black licorice now, not the rubbery American cràp.

It makes your life a lot cheaper, healthier and the satisfaction when someone else likes your food? 😎 I see nothing but benefits.
