Unpopular opinions V8 Flat IS NOTHING - General

I honestly prefer cats over dogs. Not to say dogs aren't great, I just tend to prefer cats

Honestly all the universe is is just a fancy regression line I mostly hate the culture of dog owners, especially the part where inbred animals suffering until death is cheered on.

Grilled seaweed is actually really tasty. Things like these: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/107253/99463f8a-9b45-480c-8d74-89fb5367f367/image.png

Dog shows especially are so terrible, I refuse to even watch them most of the time.

Considering how well off Ubisoft seems to be, I can't help but think that Origin would get a hell of a lot more attention if it was downloadable via Steamapp (Purchased games could count as DLC similarly to the Sega MD Classics app). Heck, a fair amount of Origin's non-EA games are Steam keys anyways, so...

Anything that comes from the Sea tastes gross and has a gross texture, where its the greenery or the creatures that reside there I have tried all numbers of aquatic animals and none of them have had a satisfying flavor or texture.

i thought this until the first time i had grilled catfish at a cajun restaurant, it changed my life tee bee haytch

A lot of Calvin Harris' music (especially the music that he put out recently) is fucking tight. https://youtu.be/8Ee4QjCEHHc https://youtu.be/r033bxSd_eI https://youtu.be/5f_JiibvQAM

I'm not totally sure white flight is an inherently bad thing because the suburbs tend to be nicer places to live, so can you blame people for wanting to live there? I know many white people left the cities because neighborhoods became more integrated and they didn't want to live next to black people, but at the same time I'm sure there were nice, non-racist middle class people who wanted to own a home and not pay the price of downtown. I guess it's a complicated issue. The schools inside my city (the city itself and not the sprawling suburbs associated with it) are actually LESS racially integrated today than in the 1960s (And I live in the south!), because all the white people left the city. Additionally all the good schools in the area are in the white, suburban part (I assume because they get more money than the majority-black schools). So I know that white flight has had a net negative affect on inner city housing prices, a loss of tax revenue for the city, and less racial diversity, but if I were a white middle class person in the 80s-90s and was able to either afford a big house in the suburbs or a smaller house or even condo/apartment in the city, I'd easily choose the suburbs with the better schools, not even once taking race into account

The 'powers' system in Mass Effect 1 blew eight different colors of wiener. Same with most of the weapons.

winter > summer

This really depends on the suburb A lot of suburbs are just fine, allowing people to have houses while still just commuting to cities. Frisco, TX would be a decent example, a good suburb is one that has a real economic reason to exist. But not all white flight suburbs were like this, there's quite a few in places like in East Texas, West Virginia, Northwest Indiana, Kentucky, etc. that are in economic misery and decline (and are hence some of the strongest trump country,) because, well, they have no reason to exist. They were nice places to live back when they were created because a lot of money was poured into them, but it was entirely unsustainable for the most part as they don't really generate any economic value. Also due to school funding being skewed towards property value, and due to the infrastructure suburbs require, you could also say quite well that they get treated very unfairly and are highly subsidized by cities. And doctors and psychologists pretty much universally agree that the heavy commuting suburbs sometimes come with is pretty damn bad for your body, while on the other hand larger houses past a point can be argued to not really do you much good (since you get used to them.) I swear I had seen some research that backs that point before but I can't find it.

If it's cold, you can just put on more clothes to keep warm. If it's hot, sure you can take off your hoodie and sweatpants and get a little cooler but it reaches a point where even if you were fully naked you would still be hot.

Winter is also much better for fashion and aesthetic tbh. Late fall is probably the best season overall tho.

Beanies and hoodies <3 also flannel

Watch dogs 2 was extremely good and the characters actually start to grow on you. Esp after the depressive slog that was watch dogs 1.

mhmm

The entire combat in Mass Effect 1 sucked monkeydick

Mass Effect 1 is the best in the series.

The "Golden Wrench" and "Halocaust" were still some of the stupidest things Valve ever did. Way to bring out the worst in people.

Halocaust? What? Also what was wrong with the golden wrench thing?

What's your guys views on the Sea Nomads and Himalayan folk having evolutionary adaptions for their climates? Some people claim this is a good argument for sub-species of homo sapiens, but I personally don't see it.

The golden wrenches were rigged to drop to the first crafter after a specific time instead of being random. These times were then leaked to at least one person who proceeded to get himself a wrench using that information(drunkenf00l, don't remember if anyone else managed to get hold of the times)

Don't blame Valve for the Halocaust, that was the community acting like fucking babies.

I mean you can obviously make the same argument about black people being more equipped for sunny areas and white people for gloomy ones, I don't think that means they can be classified as sub-species though.

Yeah, it's fucking weird that people have made the arguement for it. Sea Nomads are quiet interesting though. Unlike the High Altitude adaption, it has been actually found that certain organs have had some changes that allow for longer underwater breath holding.

The lesson of the day is that the qualifiers for a subspecies are actually surprisingly large differences.

If a Chihuahua and Great Dane can be of the same species then so can humans with bigger spleens vs humans without bigger spleens.

Of course, the entire system of taxonomy is a huge mess that has to, out of necessity, create simple categories out of extremely complex and somewhat subjective differences.
