The Unpopular Opinions thread

I cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 4K graphics. I can barely tell the differences between 900p and 1080p, and 30 fps to 60 fps, but 1080p and 4K has no differences in my eyes.

I am the same way. The differences are so minimal they are basically non-existent to me. I can't tell if there even is a difference sometimes unless it's stated. Maybe it's just because my eyes are so bad anyway, but when my husband raves about one TV over another I just can't see the big deal.

- as someone posted probably, cancel culture is toxic af and same thing there when people don't care about the other side of the coin either. as long as you read up on things and make your own opinion i think you can enjoy the book. people sometimes need to separate works from their creator.

I so agree with this. As someone who strongly cares about literature and other forms of creative expression, I hate to see them disappearing or being shunned out of existence just because people disagree with something the creator did or said or because they are not perfect examples of a perfect world. There is still plenty to learn and appreciate from these works.

Mr. Krabs scaring Plankton to suicide in One Coarse Meal may have been the worst thing he did to Plankton, but I personally think that wasn’t the worst thing he did on the show, nor was it the worst thing any of the two did to each other.

Before that animated atrocity, Mr. Krabs has done worse on the show. Believe it or not, this was as early as Season 3, before the movie, when he tried to get the health inspector killed because of a report that he’s giving food for free. And if that isn’t the worst thing he did, you should watch Born Again Krabs when the Flying Dutchman visited the Krusty Krab. As for the worst thing between Mr Krabs and Plankton, pretty much the first movie nails it. Granted, he did get cheaper and greedier after the movie, and his personality was completely centered on that, but the pre-movie episodes had their dark moments. Remember the Hash Slinging Slasher?

Graphics improvements is like a parabola when the leading coefficient is negative. The jump from 2d graphics to 3d graphics is a big stretch. The jump from N64/PS1 graphics to GCN/PS2 graphics is a big improvement, but comparing that to the earlier one is like comparing an update to a new game. The jump from GCN/PS2 graphics to Wii/PS3 graphics is an improvement to make the former feel polished, but it’s not much of an improvement. Still a noticeable improvement. The jump from Wii/PS3 graphics to Switch/PS4 graphics is only a small improvement. At this point, improving graphics doesn’t affect the quality. You should be more concerned about the durability.

Okay I actually can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p lol. My internet is questionable so I always go with 720p and honestly it looks great to me lol. I'm weird lol

I don't know how people eat out so much. A lot of food I get is just 'okay' and not worth the price you pay. I know it's for convenience but I'd rather make it myself than pay for a meal that's average.

I'm probably just picky with my food lol

You're better off getting food from the grocery store than getting it from fast food or a restaurant, anyway. Fast food is a one day thing. Groceries should be lasting you a month.

It is incredibly selfish to bring children in to this world, no matter who you are, how much money you have, and/or how much you want kids

For sure! Some of my coworkers eat out for lunch everyday and I just can't imagine how much that costs per month. Each of their meals cost easily $12+. Do what you want obviously, but I can't justify it enough to curve my guilt of knowing better.

I prefer to eat out on special occasions.

Me too. Makes it more memorable to me.

The Beatles are a boy band.

To deny their status as a boy band is to deny their history as a band, and denies the importance of their young female fans in growing their popularity.

I thought they were already a boy band? Are they considered something else, like a man band if that’s a thing?

At least from what I've seen, there are a lot of people who say that they are just a band (a man band I guess). Reason being that they played their own instruments, and honestly, that they made music that would later be considered 'legitimate' in comparison to say, Backstreet Boys songs.

They seemed like teenagers when they first formed the band, so I think that the Beatles being a boy band is pretty legit. I would see no reason why there couldn‘t be any early boy bands, as I‘ve heard from older family members that they were very popular by girls and women.

Yeah,The Beatles were the precursor to the modern boy bands even though they not only sang but also played their own instruments.Up until they hit it big worldwide in 1964,the only singer that had a legion of crazed fans was Elvis Presley.The Beatles were the first band to achieve that.

- Subs (hoagies, heroes, grinders, etc.) don’t taste good. I’m okay with eating a lot of things by themselves, including the bread, vegetables, and bacon, but not the other cold deli meats. I haven’t had a hot sub so I can’t really say.
- I also prefer to eat salad/vegetables without the dressing. Same thing with sandwiches, I don’t like to put vinegary sauces/dressings in my food.
- I won’t go out of my way to put barbecue sauce on bbq unless it’s already on the meat. I’m just not a sauce person in general.

That Disney is running out of ideas, we don’t need an adaptation for classic Disney princess films, at this point they’re just milking their old movies dry.

My English 102 teacher was a big-time Beatles fan, so I basically got a Beatles 101 course on top of the English class. It was awesome. But yeah, we basically learned that, at least in their early days, they were pretty much a boy band (we had to deeply analyze one song in particular for one exercise).

Live action version of Disney movies are not as good as the animated versions, change my mind lol

Yeah but there are a lot of older people and le wrong generation types who would throw an absolute fit if you told them The Beatles were pop stars, let alone a - gasp - boy band.

The unpopular opinion aspect isn't because it's wrong (because it's 100% true and the only reason they weren't considered a boy band at the time was because the term hadn't really come about yet; The Beatles entire sound is 'let's get as soft and poppy as we can without edging out of 'rock' territory'). The unpopular opinion aspect comes from the fact that certain people will argue that The Beatles are a rock group and nothing else until they're blue in the face, because admitting The Beatles are a pop boy band means that they like pop and boy band music and they can't handle that.

Anyway, probably not an unpopular opinion here but among my sports fan friends, saying this would be blasphemy: the MLB season starting is going to end up as a disaster, and one that'll have repercussions for the 2021 season and beyond at that.

That seems about right. I don’t know much about the Beatles but denying that they were a boy band is just plain incorrect.
