Unpopular Opinions V5: "I still don't like Half Life 2." - General

[QUOTE=halfer;49053535]Am I missing something?[/QUOTE] I think he is saying even the "attention whores" need attention so they don't cut themselves? I think the people do it purely for attention and not because they are truly conflicted about life in the case of dA and other websites like it. I also feel like more often than not if you wanted to commit suicide or cut yourself you wouldn't be an "edgelord" and post the images on a website. In some cases it could be a last cry for help, but it's more likely to be a way to get attention to make them feel good.

[QUOTE=TAU!;49051070]Mariah Carey's singing voice has turned to absolute shit and she needs to stop trying so hard. To expand on this, I really am [i]so tired[/i] of hearing the same classics being played during the holiday season. Mariah Carey, Frank Sinatra, handfuls of other "classic" songs sung by their respective musicians. We need more varied classics, because really, do we really want to be listening to the same classics 10, 20, 30, even 50 years from now? Hell no, not me at least.[/QUOTE] I'd rather listen to Bing Crosby's White Christmas or Perry Como's Home for the Holidays 1000 times than hear that "Last Christmas I gave you my heart" crap 1 more time.

"People who seek attention are at a deficit of attention", well, duuh. The idea that people who are truly suicidal, won't post pictures of them harming themselves, seems like a pretty popular opinion.

The idea that people who are truly suicidal, won't post pictures of them harming themselves, seems like a pretty popular opinion.[/QUOTE] I think it's more why they want the attention. There are people who feel good or at least decent about themselves but post stuff like "omg im so fukken ugly" so they can farm likes and posts from their friends saying that they aren't. Posting pics is weird but it could still just be them seeking attention because they legit need people to talk to.

I don't feel that it should be the right of a victim's family members to decide on the treatment of their murderer/rapist/attacker.

[QUOTE=Cyanlime;49053841]I don't feel that it should be the right of a victim's family members to decide on the treatment of their murderer/rapist/attacker.[/QUOTE] Death by Mariah Carey is fitting, in my opinion.

[QUOTE=suzume;49053373]I find the term 'cis-gendered' horribly offensive, and when I hear people use it I immediately think less of them.[/QUOTE] "Cis" literally means "on this side of" or "the same as" it's not offensive, just a descriptive term. It also doesn't have a history being used as a slur against people for decades like, say, "faggot" or "tranny".

I don't really like Nutella that much. Give me a real chocolate spread to put on things, not this hazelnut shit.

It also doesn't have a history being used as a slur against people for decades like, say, "faggot" or "tranny".[/QUOTE] It definitely does have a bad history of being misused far too often by complete morons though. But unlike the words "faggot" and "tranny" (maybe to a slightly lesser degree "tranny" since I suppose that probably came from a shortening of the word "transgender"?) it's a word that didn't start out being used as a slur and most people who use it do actually use it correctly rather than as an extremely idiotic attempt at a slur. (Wow your gender identity matches your biological sex! How inferior are you?!)

[QUOTE=Dr. Gestapo;49050714]Pink Floyd is great but I could honestly do without all the annoying 15-20 something year old "I hate my generation" dadrockers acting like it's the only psychedelic/space rock band ever or the only thing worth listening to. It's no differnet from the kids who only listen to metal or people who are obsessed with the Beatles and think everything that came after them is shite. Roger Waters is also objectively a bellend.[/QUOTE] i only listen to metal fuck you mostly because I've tried other music and just not liked it :v:

Quake sucks.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;49053481]It's no more offensive than the terms "transgendered" or "heterosexual". It has a legitimate factual use. If people are misusing the term then that should make you think less of them. If they're using it in a legitimate way though and you think less of them for it then you're just being stupid.[/QUOTE] I find the words "fuck you, you dumb ass" incredibly offensive.

i can't be arsed to invest in anything because it seems like the process is way too complicated and takes way more money than i have right now

[QUOTE=Pigbear;49054097]i only listen to metal fuck you mostly because I've tried other music and just not liked it :v:[/QUOTE] after an hour of listening to metal it just turns into noise

[QUOTE=NixNax123;49055573]i can't be arsed to invest in anything because it seems like the process is way too complicated and takes way more money than i have right now[/QUOTE] Buy a penny stock. sacrifice a virgin inside of a volcano to the lava gods to have it increase in price. Sell. Rinse. Repeat.

[QUOTE=shrinkme;49054133]Quake sucks.[/QUOTE] Have you tried Quake Live? Quake Live is alright.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;49055874]after an hour of listening to metal it just turns into noise[/QUOTE] you can say this about any genre you're not really into.

Fawlty Towers is hilarious.

I honestly love that the player character will be fully voiced in Fallout 4.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;49055874]after an hour of listening to metal it just turns into noise[/QUOTE] so does rap, pop, and every genre i don't like :downs:

[QUOTE=Pigbear;49054097]i only listen to metal fuck you mostly because I've tried other music and just not liked it :v:[/QUOTE] you're aren't annoying about it though, so it's cool that's the end all be all of all music related things imo, as long as you enjoy it and aren't a dick to others, you're a cool dude in my book

ponytails look really fucking dumb and is an automatic turnoff

[QUOTE=Trixil;49057716]ponytails look really fucking dumb and is an automatic turnoff[/QUOTE] Ponytails are more of a pragmatic thing, though. It is the easiest way to make sure loose hair won't bother you.

[QUOTE=Trixil;49057716]ponytails look really fucking dumb and is an automatic turnoff[/QUOTE] them's fighting words

[QUOTE=Trixil;49057716]ponytails look really fucking dumb and is an automatic turnoff[/QUOTE] Now I know how to have my hair if I ever come near you.

[QUOTE=Trixil;49057716]ponytails look really fucking dumb and is an automatic turnoff[/QUOTE] I feel the exact same way about pigtails. It just screams child to me and is a huge turnoff.

pigtails is a children's hairstyle but ponytails are purely utilitarian
