Ok, time for a more controversial one: I am content with rising home prices. This is disincentivizing people from starting families of their own, thus leading to perhaps one of the more humane ways of population decline. There are simply too many people in the world. There are finite resources and we must share this space with other animals. Obviously, mass murdering people is out of the question, and a government policy like China's one-child policy can lead to a horrible demographic demise. Just make starting a family too expensive. Voila.

Unfortunately, unreachable home prices doesn’t have this specific effect mostly because young people were priced out of the largest real estate markets nearly two decades - long enough to have been factored into family planning.

I still prefer listening to music on CDs.

Writer Hickman was responsible for re-inventing the mutants of Marvel a few years ago in the House of X/Powers of X event. 

Imagine the X-Men, but you turn the whole franchise into a bleak sci fi tale similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's intended to be an epic but it just sucks the life out of them and takes away everything positive. 

 

For some reason a lot of people liked it. 

 

 

I'm still not over this. This writer doesn't understand there's a reason people fall asleep during Dune movies.

I have my reasons for this opinion. I just don’t wanna go into them here.

I respect Miley Cyrus much more than Taylor Swift. For one, I actually like some of her music. There is not a single Taylor Swift song I like.

Too many people think “overrated” automatically means “bad”.

I’m not ashamed of growing up with Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

Most certainly are shit, but I could still go my whole life without needing to look at anything Disney.

Flintstones had decent comedic timing. Just take the stick out from your ass.

lol, we disagree again. That's one of the worst ways to eat fish, except for calamari. I think seafood generally tastes best grilled.

If you haven’t noticed, I have a tendency to overstate some of my unpopular opinions.  Fried isn’t the only way I’ll eat it, but it is my favorite.

Memes are a terrible way to express opinions, especially if it's on serious subject matter. I think less of the opinion if you are able to reduce it to a meme.

I don’t claim to listen to every genre of music, but I would argue that they all have at least a few good songs.

I'm sure the Professor would agree with you if he were alive.

On topic: I wish I could eat actual turkey meat once a week.

This may or may not be an unpopular opinion but there's no genre of music that I despise more than country.

Billy Porter is just a black Andy Warhol: annoying gay hack from Pittsburgh, involved in the arts, and surrounds himself with far more talented people and rides off the clout.

I’ve been drinking a lot of root beer lately. As a matter of fact, I just got some alcoholic root beer today.

EDIT: But I will flip this around and say that regular beer is fucking nasty.

I am really surprised to hear you like fnaf, considering the creator is a huge maga republican.

 

 

I just saw this. I remember vaguely hearing that about the creator. But that parochial controversy does not get much more than an inkling of interest from me compared to the games.

 

I was very impressed by the first game's satire of dead end jobs (like a security guard). I think that's why it subliminally spoke to many people at the time.

No need to defend yourself. The main appeal of the first game was to 90s kids who have memories of the animatronics at Chuck E Cheese. Then it turned out literal kids today actually like the series too, and you have what we have now 

[[classic swim]]

Okay, white liberals. We get it. You’re the coolest ever for still making 9/11 jokes like everyone else after twenty something years.

Say! Remember when NY workers had to hide their turbans and alter their speaking when the Towers fell just so monsters wouldn’t drag and beat them out on the street? No? You’re just gonna keep making uninformed tweets about how amazing Bin Laden was, simply out of weird contrarian spite? Okay! Fuck your mother!

A lot of modern "country" music is just pop music for people afraid to head towards Memphis.

Too often during weekends, I hit a point where I'm so idle that negative emotions claw their way to the surface. "Now that I've been alone with my thoughts for a day, I'm a little depressed." 

 

 

Although this weekend (I'm posting this on a Sunday night) has been okay. I think because it's been a sunny, cool autumn day.

Stephen King is not that great of a writer. I don’t think I’ve ever read a single book of his that didn’t have a completely crappy ending.

Which reminds me I still havent finished the dark tower series books...and 'the Gunslinger' movie sucked so much at potraying what King himself wanted to be his J.R.R Tolkien baby, and although I have a lot of respect for Stephen King I have to agree with your point... There's been a lot of books of his I just dropped after a certain plot twist over the years lol.

[Icarus27k]

Classic rock and folk music depress me, and I feel an urge to make it stop playing.

 

For example, my mom is a huge Eagles fan. Listens to them frequently because they remind her of her youth. I tolerate it because she loves it, but it kind of psychologically hurts to hear it sometimes.

I enjoy going to church. I usually show up about 30 minutes before a service starts and sit in silence. It's an attempt at contemplation, and I value that time.

Arkham Origins is my favorite of the Batman Arkham games. The TN1 Bane fight is the only time I felt intimidated by one of the bosses.

Is that the one where Arkham is the whole city. 

I just got bored by those games easily, but there was a batman game I kinda liked...I just never finished it. It was ps3 so I likely never will. I just remember these stupid hard batmobile missions

[[classic swim]]

I think I had Arkham Knight on my Xbone some few years ago just out of some cheap deal, and I deleted it off there shortly after to make space for better games.

I guess defusing bombs was kinda “huh” the first couple times... but it’s Batman. I just wanna kick the shit outta some guys and nothing else. Your technology mini games are not fun and are only a boring pain in the ass.

[The_annoying_one]

Level grinding in RPG games is so damn boring.
