Jingle turned me into a carton of milk! Help!
True, I normally do randomizers instead. Im doing ine for pokemon platium right now
Completely unrelated to everything else ... when I'm out in public and I hear a young mother shout at her oddly named child 'why aren't you listening', (ex. "Ryker, why aren't you listening to me!?) I think to myself, "it's because you (very bad word) named him Ryker."
My opinion is that children with stupid (this is a personal opinion) names that they will never, ever find on any "personalized" product should be protected from having to listen to the parent that named them. I feel bad for all those kids named Blaze, Ryker, Jersey, Braylen, Blade, Brantley, and several other 'unique' names (including common names spelled very, very 'uniquely') I hear when working retail. Unique in this sense does not always equal good.

Dude, same.. In my home country, DST didn't exist but I already had sleeping problems since I was a kid. Moving to another country DURING DST in the summer just made it worse. Over a decade of living here and I still hate it and it's really bad for my already bad mental health. I can't wait for winter..
Anyways, another unpopular opinion, some of these "famous" and "good" movies and shows are so, very overrated. Like The Breakfast Club, or Friends
Yes and they are ugly.
all right then so we should all have stupidly common names
No, but if you name your kid Blazer Ryker Peacock be prepared people will stare man...
yea but maybe they couldve worded it better bc my name and many others will never ever be found on a personalised thingy, and i dont feel i should be protected from listening to my parents
Ryker isn't all that weird.
And even with common names, there's still a chance that you can't find that thing, like a mug or keychain that has their name on it. My name is so generic and common, there were 4 other babies in the same hospital with that same name, all with different spellings. Despite it being such a bland name, there are times when I can't find that thing that has the spelling of my name on it.

At least no one that I know named their kids Optimus Prime or Eggs 
Seriously though. I think uncommon names are fine as long as they can still reasonably be understood to be a name. Something like “Ryker” or “Blaze” is fine to me because they still sound like names you could call someone. Now when parents aren’t in their right minds at the time of naming their children and somehow a kid ends up being named after a character or an object that already exists, that’s where I draw the line, lol. After all, having unique differences is what makes life well... life.
Anyway, another unpopular opinion incoming, but I don’t like to listen to music usually unless it’s something from a game or a show that I’ve watched. There are a couple songs that I like and know the artists of, but otherwise I don’t really go out of my way to find and listen to good music. Idk why, but that’s just me I guess

Relate to the last part, I'm not like scouring the Internet on the constant hunt for new songs. There are bands/artist that I like, but even then I don't really follow up on them or anythin. Most of my music either comes from the radio or the music channels on TV. From there I notice there are multiple songs I like from a band/artist. (No not like MTV or Disney Music. Like legit channels that play a genre of music 24/7. Mine are in the 800s).
Hm unpopular opinion. Well, growing up (and still today) I loved maple syrup. It was usually kept in the fridge so it was always cold. Then one day I went to an IHOP where the syrup was just sitting out in room temp, and it was so gross. Point being, warm syrup is gross, cold syrup is superior.

I don't like most open world games or battle royale games. Frankly, a lot of open world games, at least from my experience tend to be more like walking simulators with occasionally some story and an enemy encounter thrown in every now and then. I rarely spend any more time than a few hours in an open world game because I usually get bored of them pretty quickly. There's a couple of exceptions (Any 3D GTA game or Fallout: New Vegas) but that's about it.
As for battle royale games, I feel more or less the same way about battle royale games that I do with open world games. You land, quickly try to scramble together a weapon and some other gear and pray that you don't get killed immediately, if you somehow manage to not get shot as soon as the match starts then prepare for all the inevitable downtime you'll face where literally nothing happens and hope you don't get randomly picked off here too (AKA the walking simulator with combat time), if you somehow manage to survive this then welcome to the sweaty tryhard zone where literally everyone left alive is either super lucky or they're like eSports material and if you're the former then oh boy am I sorry, did I mention there's like less than 10 people left so good luck finding someone and let's hope they're not a super ultra omega gamer and they don't have the godliest gear and weapons in the game. Apex Legends is the most fun battle royale game I've played so far and that's because it's movement and gunplay saves it. Fortnite and every other BR I've played though is boring as hell, at least to me.

Yeah, same here. I don’t really do PC gaming nowadays as I think the culture and list of games to choose from isn’t really appealing anymore, but I really don’t see the appeal behind battle royale games like Fornite and PubG. It just seems pointless to me. I’m also not a fan of Overwatch and never understood the hype behind it.
So while trying to decide how to spend my tax refund, I realized another unpopular opinion I have. I hate hardwood floors.
When we were buying our house, carpet was initially a must-have criteria for me. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that most homes didn't have carpet because buyers wanted hardwood. I finally settled for a home with carpet in only the living room, but I've wanted to carpet the rest of the house for over a decade now (other priorities always seem to come up).
I'm not going to say that hardwood doesn't look nice, but it's so uncomfortable. I like to walk around barefoot at home, but I always feel the need to wear slippers because of the hardwood. Animal fur that is almost invisible on the carpet forms tumbleweeds on the hardwood and has to be cleaned far more often.
Plus my animals have always hated the hardwood, too. My older pug, before he passed away, had a stroke and for the last 3 years of his life could barely stand on the hardwood. We had to stock up on cheap, ugly bathmats and rugs just so he could get around because we couldn't afford anything nicer. My current rescue dog is terrified of practically everything, including the hardwood. If his paw comes off the carpet, he scrambles to get back on as fast as possible.
So anyway, new carpet is making the short list for potential projects this year, but who knows if it will get bumped again. But I just don't understand the obsession with hardwood and why everyone has to have it.

I still do PC gaming but I mostly just either play older games I missed out on or games I could get on console but I would find more convenient to just play on PC. I'll agree on the culture as well but I've never been a huge fan of PC gamer culture or gamer culture in general. I do understand the appeal of Fortnite or PUBG to an extent, especially Fortnite because it's free, it's on everything, it gets new content often and all the popular streamers are playing it, but as I said neither of them are for me. As for Overwatch, I used to be very obsessed with Overwatch and it was all I played for about a year so I can't say I never liked it or understood the hype behind it but I feel like over time, the problems started to build up more and more and where we're at now with Overwatch is a big mess where the negatives far out-weigh the positives.
New Vegas is great, it's probably the best Fallout they ever made. I can't speak for 1 or 2, I heard 3 was great as well, from what little I played of 4 I thought it was alright, 76 is literal garbage but we all know this.

I wish they’d stop making live-action Disney princess movies >:c the originals will always be better.
I'm just tired of live action Disney in general.
The live action remakes of their animated movies are unnecessary at best, a downgrade at worse. There's been nothing so far that's really improved upon or added something worthwhile and different from the original animated movie. They feel like they exist for the sake of existing rather than doing what a remake or adaptation should achieve, doing something different with the source material.
As for the Marvel movies; I like Marvel. I've always and still do buy Marvel comics and like a bunch of the characters. In regard to the movies, I'm just sick of them. They all feel like the same paint by numbers plot, it being luck of the draw to whether a movie is stand alone or you're required to watch other movies about different heroes you may not care about to understand plot points going on in this movie. Some of them are either nigh beat for beat remakes of another Marvel movie in terms of plot with others just being downright bad. Having been made to watch a bunch of them, the Thor movies and Avengers 2 were just friggin' train wrecks. Ironman 1 and 2 feel like the same movie. Ant man was the most predictable thing I've seen in a LONG time, to the point I said to the friend forcing me to watch this "is this this and this going to happen?" 15 minutes in only to get the response of "...We can just probably skip this movie".
Basically, I want more movies like the Sam Rami Spiderman trilogy or Spiderverse, not in terms of directing or anything, just that when I go to see an (example) Spiderman movie, I just get a Spiderman movie, it's not connected to a bigger plot I may not care about, I just get a decent movie about Spiderman with a beginning a middle and an end. I don't need to watch 20 other movies to understand the purpose of an unconnected subplot and why the villain is really trying to kill Spiderman.
Plus they release way too many of these movies and expect fans to watch all of them so they can catch a glimps of an after credit movie for (surprise surprise) another unconnected movie. Most of the characters in the cinematic universe I barely care about. Never have, probably never will. I don't want to have to watch an Ironman movie and 3 Avengers movies when I couldn't care less about them or this continuous narrative, as I've said, I just want to watch Spiderman.
Most of all, it's saddening that I can still objectively say Marvel are still doing better super hero movies than DC...
