The Unpopular Opinions thread

[-Apples-]

Honestly I love Chik-fil-a. I love their southwest salad so I guess that's an unpopular opinion.

Their ice creams - not so much. Fast food ice creams that come from places that don’t specialize in ice cream aren’t as good. The cookies are good though. The brownies, same. Not only that the food from Chick-fil-a is good, but it also has good customer service. The one in my town sends people outside to the drive thru to pick up orders from drivers. They don’t have to order it off the menu. And when they don’t, it means there are hardly anyone in line.

I ate at Chick-Fil-A once sometime before it came to my knowledge that they were donating their money to evil causes (so pre-2011? IIRC) and honestly, not even their waffle fries were good. They were soggy and gross. Now, I'm sure they probably aren't always like that, but I simply don't care to try them again. They will never ever get a single penny of my money.

That deplorable franchise was even at both of the universities I have attended (the last one I lived at for two years) and even with the limited options (I can't drive, but could walk to the university easily) I still never had even the slightest bit of urge to go there. I really hope that whatever university I attend for grad school is above having such a bad place on campus.

Even if they turned around and stopped donating their money to evil causes, I still would probably never support them. Their reputation is stained beyond repair for me.

Yeah, exactly. How can you even be this dumb and let your money go there ://

New opinion:

Although I appreciate the advancements of technology, I also think it can be a weakness. If we rely on it too much to the point where we are completely dependent on it, any setback can have devastating effects. It also creates new problems, both to nature and other things that never existed until their creation.

Yeah, I hate this over-digitalization for no better means as well. Like yeah gg using cards and phone payment in a war/crisis when internet and all would be down...

Oh yes, the internet, as well as computers, are prime examples of this. When technological processes create problems, there are both internal and external drawbacks

Example: Cars

Benefits: Quicker transportation, less walking needed, shielding from weather conditions (such as rain), and less maintenance on animals.
Drawbacks (external): Air pollution, car accidents, dangerous roads for both humans and wildlife, and traffic congestions
Drawbacks (internal): More mechanical maintenance, messy cars (which is similar to messy rooms), people complaining about others’ cars, and carsickness

Yeah and if everything is digital and dependent on internet you can basically hack it all. Yeah, sometimes it was better before without all these smartphone ****.

I think Korra from the Legend of Korra's design was "heavily inspired" by Yoruichi from Bleach.

Twitter too

I wish people would allow people to grow from their negative past. Especially when that individual is putting a foot forward to change.

Yeah, I don?t know why people hold grudges for so long and don?t give people a chance. Probably because they?re petty, jealous, or something.

Anyway, another unpopular opinion that NoUsernameHere and I share: the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime isn?t as bad as people say it is. Sure, the first season is goofy and all, but once you get to Pokemon Sun and Moon: Ultra Adventures, things become a lot more serious. It?s honestly a nice change from the previous seasons of Pokemon and displays excellently the different kinds of z-moves, ultra beasts, and other things that Alola has to offer.

Spoiler

Hell, even Team Rocket gets their own z-move during Ultra Adventures, which you got to admit is pretty awesome.

yeah twitter is an enormous part of keeping everything that's wrong with the world alive and biting. I genuinely feel that it's done more harm than good and we'd be better off without it.

Twitter is a great place to talk to anybody about anything. Typically, the people you follow will indicate how you feel towards the platform. I follow a lot of security researchers, developers, and philosophers. Their tweets are usually insightful, inspire me to learn, or just entertaining to read. If you ignore the news, the angry mobs, and the trolls, the site is so much better.

I think these are all unpopular opinions of mine:

1. I don't get upset when a character that I love dies in a work of fiction. In fact, quite the opposite. As long as it's a good death, I love it. I like to write and a lot of my characters end up dead. I think I just really like martyrs.

2. When I watch a movie based on a book or TV show or a remake of a movie, I prefer it to remain as close to the source material as possible. I know that some things will always have to be cut and that each person who touches a film (directors and actors) will bring their own interpretation of a character or event to the table. Differences in interpretation and execution are expected and okay, but I don't like when they change actual events to create a different ending. I don't want to be surprised. If I did, I would be watching a different movie entirely. I watch a remake to see the same story told from a slightly different perspective. With that said, I don't like how many things are currently being remade. I think it should be done sparingly.

3. I refuse to join any form of social media. I don't like Facebook, Twitter, or anything else of that nature. I don't see a need for it.

4. I would prefer to live in a world devoid of technology. Yes, I use it because it's here and the world has become a place where if you don't use it then you basically can't keep up with everyone else in society. But my perfect world would go back to the days before the industrial revolution and technology ruined the planet.

Why did I have a feeling you'd post like this lol.

Yeah, you can avoid them but honestly I think social media has done more bad than good.

People outside Japan putting "zen" to anything that look like Japanese style makes me somewhat itchy. That's too flaky... that's not what the concept "禅 (zen)"... Not even close. (=_=

Not trying to sound like one of those "born in the wrong generation" people, but I really hate most modern (2014ish-present) web design. It tends to be overly minimalist and simplistic, and I feel like most websites are going to look pretty much the same within the next few years.
Mid-2000s sites had the best design imo. They were usually a nice balance between the tacky Geocities pages of the early 2000s and the boring sites of today.

I always feel like I'm born in wrong generation so yeah don't be ashamed of that. And yeah I hate all those minimalist sites that all look alike like bruh where are your creative sides..?

If a game is too easy because very little effort was put in it or if it’s so frustratingly hard that it’s almost impossible to finish (or even impossible to finish), then it’s not a game. Everything requires effort in making them, and you can’t make something so hard and expect people to accomplish that.
