The Unpopular Opinions thread

[k e r f u f f l e]

Creating New Year's resolutions is the reason why we don't complete our New Year's resolutions. There's no mystery or excitement, just a nagging lack of interest or motivation.

Getting sick of ourselves- whether in the middle of the year or beginning- is the only point at which we change.

I don’t like the food from McDonalds. I prefer Hungry Jacks much better instead, the burgers from McDonalds just make me feel sick after I eat them.

Same here. I don't know why but I feel sick every time I've eaten McDonald's as an adult. Thus, I don't eat there anymore.

The music that they play on radio stations today is just garbage. Literally every song released in 2020 was absolute sh-- with a couple of exceptions. I just don't get it. It's ALWAYS about how sexy this person is or how terrible their breakup was or something along those lines.

WHERE ARE THE TASTEFUL MUSIC ARTISTS ANYMORE
I MISS MCR

Tbh the only good thing from McDonalds is their french fries and that's about it imo.

I feel like a lot of mainstream music nowadays actually sounds super manufactured or all sound the same. I am probably a bit biased here but imo pop music from 2015 and onwards started getting worse or repetitive. I don't know if it's just me or it was because I started listening to pop less and delving into other genres of music, but once I heard "Never Be The Same" by Camila Cabello, I wanted to rip my ears because it was the worst (and really unseasoned) pop song I had ever heard.

Maybe it's just me but I also think it has to do with the fact that pop songs back then weren't trying to take themselves too seriously and weren't all songs about love or getting betrayed but now it just feels same-y. Now you have these basic pop songs about love and heartbreak that take themselves too seriously and exist just to probably win a Grammy despite them probably being rigged lmaooo

it really is all the same...
this is why indie music is getting more popular.
and why mainstream artists like taylor swift are trying to copy the indie style. to get more popular.

It's always about... uh... adult stuff ;-; life isn't just about *non-virgin activities*

I've never liked pop music anyway with a few exceptions. all i listen to anymore is classical and rock (any type of rock, too - heavy metal rock, punk rock, emo rock, classic rock, pop rock.... i could go on forever... anything with electric guitars and drums)

Coffee and tea are gross. Coffee is bitter, and no matter how much creamer or milk and sugar you add to it, I can still taste the bitterness. Tea is hot (sometimes cold, ice cold) water with leaves in it. Barely any flavour, and adding honey to it is very strange to me.
I will just stick with my plain-Jane water, thank you very much!

Sorry to have offended anyone, but my taste buds are the outlier of my family, and it shows.

With traditional teas, I agree with you. Not a big fan of plain black or green teas. I do like herbal teas that focus on hibiscus or fruit, though. Have you ever tried anything like that?

I think I've only tried chamomile and green tea. Both are very bland and off-putting to me, but strangely enough, I love green tea mints (from Trader Joe's, especially)?? I guess those are more condensed than a tea bag sitting in boiling water, though.
Fruit tea seems more up my alley, but I have low expectations... my disdain of tea knows no bounds.

I’m not a big fan of chamomile tea, either. Hibiscus tea blends tend to have a more tart flavor that isn’t exactly like those sorts of teas. I understand if you’re not too keen on tea, though!

I agree. I used to drink coffee, but now I hate both coffee and tea. I’ve been coming up with different things I could drink, but in the end I need to be drinking more water anyway, so it’s probably best that I only have water available.

As someone who has played both New Leaf and New Horizons, I think New Horizons is overall a much better game.
Most of the time I see people who have played both games prefer new leaf. I've gone back to new leaf now and then when I get bored and while it does have some cool stuff new horizons doesn't, overall it keeps reminding me how much better new horizons is overall. I could type up a whole essay about all the reasons why lol

I definitely agree. Most of the people I see complaining about NH are doing so because of the lack of furniture sets, but I am optimistic that they’ll be added eventually. I think the game has a lot more to offer than previous instalments. Do I miss certain things about New Leaf? Absolutely. I miss the music so much that I will go on YouTube and listen to NL music while I play NH. But I think NH is by far a better game

I don't understand why people like eggnog. Texture is good, but the flavors are kinda weird. Also isn't the egg raw in eggnog?

I don’t even get why it’s some Christmas tradition. While I do appreciate Christmas and its traditions, some should go by the wayside. Examples:

- Elf on Shelf (definitely)
- Egg Nog
- Turducken (what makes special meats so “Christmasy”)
- Christmas Crackers (cool concept, but the stuff inside is lame)
- Fruit cake (brownies are the best food you can make for Christmas, I could also take mousse and parfaits)
- Many Christmas songs (not like Jingle Bells or Joy to the World, but rather songs that are akin to “Santa Baby” and “I see mommy kissing Santa Claus”)

Now I don’t seem to mind commonly-played Christmas songs (including “Jesus Bleibet Meine Freude”), Christmas specials, advent calendars, lights everywhere, and these nativity plays, as Christmas is more about that than about what I listed above.

Discarding stupid traditions aside, I support some more radical changes to Christmas, including:

- Making restaurants open for Christmas (oh wait, some have already done that)
- Making any object be a Christmas object, not just Christmas trees (you can have nativity tables or Christmas town tables with presents under the tables)
- Celebrating it any time of the month, not just December 25th

Oh my gosh I completely forgot about fruit cake aka THE CURSED LOAF. I hate fruit cake with a passion

I absolutely despise conventional music listening methods. No, I don't want to pay for Spotify cause they don't have half the bands I like, and they treat artists horribly. I don't want it on my phone period, I'm sick of being bombarded by ads, and my phone is clunky and unintuitive for music listening.

I'm seriously planning on getting an Ipod from 2005 or a Walkman cause I'm so sick of this BS as a music lover.

I have an iPod Nano from 2012 that I still use to listen to music on car trips and stuff. I can't stand paying for Spotify either.

I like Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Now, it's far from my favourite game in the series and I agree with most of the criticism fans have, but that doesn't make it a bad game. Sure it's mediocre by Pokemon standards but I still enjoyed playing it and feel like more people would too if they just gave it a chance.

Also all the hate/threats the devs were/are getting is so uncalled for. Constructive criticism is more than enough to let them know we aren't happy with certain features and where to go next with making future games better.

I’m still haunted by the fact that some of the haters wished that all of Game Freak got COVID-19, right when they heard news that one of the employees was tested positive for COVID-19. Do they even realize how bad this is?
