They know. You aren't telling them anything different but as I said, some people can't afford therapy. Even if they could, some people don't try for it because they're scared or they're teenagers whose parents won't let them. Not to mention addiction isn't something that can be cured with "Hey you should stop that".

Yes and I didn't say it was easy to recover from an addiction, its obvious and I didn't say anything about therapy or even spending money they can't afford to lose.

Taking a walk, yoga and meditation help anxiety and stress.

While depression is rather difficult to recover from without the help of therapy, but having a friend or family member to talk to and express your issues and pain can do close to the same job as therapy, of course therapists are highly trained in their field and who's not to say simply having someone there to talk to can't have an impact in the recovery process? You know?

It surely helps me when I just talk to my close friends to get things of my chest. When I field like absolute garbage on a specific day.

I'm just going to leave it at that now. c;

These things don't work for everyone. You sound like those white boys on instagram who think going outside and seeing a forest is gonna cure my depression.

I know they don't.

I love how you constantly compare me to things just to get on my nerves, you're no different from me white person.

Pretty much how I feel. Got gay friends, have a trans friend; as far as I'm concerned love is love. But the LGBQT community is ridiculous, said friends don't like to associate with it because of it seems to be more hate than love. They have valid points to argue for but by being hypocrites it doesn't help anyone.

That comic is great and I'm glad you agree
 
I have another unpopular opinion:

I think it's funny to add apple tags to every popular thread. Like "apples ate my cake" or "apples have fun too".

You can't be bothered to know the difference between someone who is white and someone who is light-skinned? Seems a bit unfair, but hey this is the unpopular opinions thread.

No I can't be bothered with the conversation anymore.
As it was going nowhere good, because of me.

Hoo boy, thought of something else.

I'm a Christian... no, that's not the unpopular part, and I'm not gonna be caught dead going on a whining spree about how WE'RE OPPRESSED BECAUSE FEWER THAN 120% OF THE WORLD'S PEOPLE AGREE WITH US WAAA. ...ahem, rather, the view that I hold is unpopular to other Christians. I hope I don't offend anyone here:

Homosexuality is often seen as a sin "because it says so in the Bible", but I haven't taken a personal moral stance on it because, like A LOT of things in that book that I've seen, there's no real certainty that 1) you should take it 100% at face value no questions asked, and 2) its relevance and/or meaning somehow hasn't changed over the 2000+ years the book's existed. You have to remember that the Bible's authors lived during the time of, well, THE BIBLE, and wrote the material to match.

But that entire paragraph is almost entirely irrelevant. Why? Because if homosexuality IS a sin as so many people claim, it's just that. A single sin. If you've ever done anything bad in your life, which is pretty dang hard to deny, you have no place telling them God hates THEIR guts any more than YOURS. Please point me to this excerpt you seem to believe exists about homosexuality being special as the only unforgivable sin, and maybe I'll beli—wait, no, I won't; I'll call you out on having nothing better to do than forge Bible quotes that don't exist.

Sorry to vent like that... Okay, that's about as heated as I'd prefer to get, but I guess what I'm saying is "Hell doesn't have a 'TOP TEN UNFORGIVABLE SINS' list, and if they did, a guy liking a guy sure as heck wouldn't be on it if it's a sin in the first place."

This. This this this.

I'm Catholic and I'm so sick of homophobic Christians. If God didn't want people of the same gender to love each other, why did He create people that are able to have an attraction to people of the same gender? Romantic and sexual attraction isn't something you can help. Plus, the Bible has been revised many, many times. In fact, I think I read somewhere that any Bible made after the 1960's shouldn't be used because they've just been revised too much to be accurate.
I found a site called hoperemains while scrolling through Tumblr that combs through many of the scriptures in the Bible, through many of the revisions and mistranslations and basically lets Christian homosexuals know they aren't angering God.
There were similar sites for Jewish and Muslim people but the Christian one was the only one I remember, unfortunetly.

People say you can't be Christian and support homosexuality, but you know what? You can't be Christian and NOT support homosexuality. You can't be Christian and not support equality for all people on this earth.
You cannot use God's love and light as an excuse for ignorance and stupidity.
 
I don't know what to say, but this thread has been damaged by controversial opinions and popular opinions. Let's just do non-controversial and unpopular opinions please.

Another unpopular opinion I have: I'm not a fan of Gravity Falls or Steven Universe.
 
I have several, but that'll just end up being a paragraph. So for now I'll just say that I found Paper Mario Sticker Star to be actually fun! And I likewise think that Color Splash will be fun. And judging my the script, reviews, and youtube videos, it appears to be true!

My apologies.

Back on track with less heated subjects, I find the 3D effect on the 3DS to be an entirely unnecessary gimmick, to the point that I was relieved to get a 2DS instead so I wouldn't accidentally bump the slider and get annoyed.

I think one-time spinoffs/core-changes in a game series are fine, maybe even a second installment if it's popular enough. I mean, I for one enjoyed Island Tour's change of pace from the standard Mario Party fare, especially as an on-the-go game. However, insisting on a new norm, despite heavy amounts of complaints, is just sad. I'm looking at YOU, Paper Mario.
 
I find it pretty bad taste when people use the term OCD in a joking manner...'how OCD are you' and 'I'm so OCD'.
To me it's just not a joking illness. I mildly suffer from it myself but have seen terrible cases of it through work.

Most people won't have heard of her, but Katie Hopkins is a very minor celeb over here. She appeared on one that show and made herself know by making ridiculous comments. I hear it so often that she's just 'telling it how it is',but really, saying ginger kids are harder to love is hardly how it is. She's just nasty and enjoys being controversial.

On the topic of Christian's, I've know a few who were all good people. Then I've known some people who aren't really Christian's and just use the bible as an excuse for their bigotry. They literally can't 'quote' anything else from the Bible other than 'gay is wrong innit'.
I'm sure everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but just be open about your ignorance and bigotry, rather than hiding behind a religion you don't even follow.

People asking for rec's being really obnoxious like.. "Hey I want new rec's for like for [insert media here] but I only read/watch like fantasy" or whatever. I mean it's one thing if you don't like what people jot down for you but really, if you're not willing to try new things, don't bother to be honest. Like if you only watch/read one type of things, just google around or look for eg. fantasy lists or stuff -_-

I don't see why having a preference is bad lol. If I am asking for some romance books/shows, there is no reason for me to ask because I don't want like action?
