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

[QUOTE=thelurker1234;49116571]Woah, you can see the rest of the forums when you're banned now? That's pretty neat, I guess it was to stop people from making alts just to lurk. [sp]also the fact that I didn't know this suggests that i've been a good little boy lately[/sp][/QUOTE] it was a change made sometime in the past few months. if you get banned you could just logout and see the forums, so it made sense to cut the middle man and let banned users see the same thing as someone that isnt logged in. still cant see gold exclusive forums if youre banned, so that isnt different.

I think people often look at threads about terrorist attacks or transgender people in SH and notice how absolutely shit the thread is and decide that Facepunch is a horrible racist/sexist/transphobic/whatfuckingever shithole, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure most of the awful people in SH are weirdos who just post in SH because of the shit they get to say and then only contribute the rest of the forum in the rare events that something causes them to leak out momentarily. Basically I think SH causes people to have a worse idea of what Facepunch is actually like.

AsteroidRules didn't deserve to be perma'd

Changing your avatar to a 50% French flag overlay is stupid.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;49118254]Changing your avatar to a 50% French flag overlay is stupid.[/QUOTE] I have a problem with slacktivism when what is really needed is hard work, but this isn't that. The only help it seems like they need right now is blood donations, and you have to be around Paris to donate blood for the cause. Therefore, this isn't in place of actual help and isn't really bothersome because it doesn't have a negative effect.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49116736]Certain mods do ban people for disagreeing with them, eg Max.[/QUOTE] Starpluck once banned me for using a news source he didn't like.

[QUOTE=Aldawolf;49118242]AsteroidRules didn't deserve to be perma'd[/QUOTE]Yes they did, they just came back from a month ban and was their last chance.

50 years ago, you could smoke wherever you wanted. Today, there's hardly anywhere you can smoke or even vape without someone popping up with muh asthma and citing whatever bullshit rule or law to make you stop. I honestly don't know which scenario I prefer

I honestly don't know which scenario I prefer[/QUOTE] I dont care if you smoke. It's your life and you can fuck it up how you see fit. But in a time where the dangers of smoking and its effects are readily apparent, if you choose to continue and do so around others who find it nasty, you're just an asshole.

People drinking around me bother me way more than people smoking around me

[QUOTE=Mister Sandman;49118906]People drinking around me bother me way more than people smoking around me[/QUOTE] I don't mind that, but I do mind it when drunks get obnoxious in public places.

[QUOTE=Aldawolf;49118242]AsteroidRules didn't deserve to be perma'd[/QUOTE] He deserved the perma after going into that thread about the pedophile saying "I'm refuting the evidence that shows this person is a pedo and giving no backup to my reasoning as to why.", gets banned for not backing up his argument, then going into the Unpopular Opinions thread once he was unbanned and said literally the exact same shit.

I honestly don't know which scenario I prefer[/QUOTE] It's not bullshit when there's medical evidence to prove that second hand smoking is harmful to the people around you. If you want to smoke, more power to you, but do it somewhere where it doesn't affect other people tia.

That people need to stop crying for Paris if they don't know anybody who's actually been affected by it. People die all the time, and outside of the west, deaths in numbers close to those aren't even uncommon. But because it's in the west and because those [I]evil muslims[/I] did it then suddenly everybody is making a massive fuss. And let's not forget everybody wanting to use this shit as an excuse to hate islam even more than they do. It's a [I]terrorist[/I] attack, the damn definition of the word is to cause terror. If it scared you, whoever's behind the attack did their job.

[QUOTE=Sector 7;49119630] frankly if you smoke cigarettes today you're a stupid cunt whether or not you're not ruining anything for anybody else[/QUOTE] And to be frank, I say the same about alcohol. Is your water toxic? Do you have a large wound at risk of infection? No? Then you don't need alcohol.

Unpopular opinion time: I think fires and smoking in general smells great. I have always liked the smell of cigs,joints and burning toast even though I am a non smoker.

[QUOTE=Murky42;49120830]Unpopular opinion time: I think fires and smoking in general smells great. I have always liked the smell of cigs,joints and burning toast even though I am a non smoker.[/QUOTE] I like the smell of a wood fire, but cigs smell terrible.

I've played a bit fallout 4 now and i've gotta say it aint that bad once you accept that it's a bethgame, and that it does a fucking awful job at being an rpg, and a shameful job of being a fallout game, it's actually pretty fun just a casual adventure fps with rpg elements it has some interesting design choices, the menus and stuff is great, and regarding the rpg stuff tbh i think it's better that way than having beth try something they completely have no fucking clue about - role playing game features [editline]15th November 2015[/editline] using a phone/laptop/tablet while being in a social situation is rude and indecent [editline]15th November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;49121136]I like the smell of a wood fire, but cigs smell terrible.[/QUOTE] i stopped liking cig smoke smell after i got mad hangover because of it

I really want EA to remake Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Literally all they need to do is keep the core gameplay elements. Just upgrade the engine and add a bit of destructibility. It'd make EA a fortune.

Just like how it is with any war.

Here's a less stupid one: If Clinton wins the nomination instead of Bernie, I'm still voting Democrat Like between Clinton and Trump, which do you think Bernie would want you to elect when the time comes? If you think it's Trump you're delusional

if it comes down to clinton and trump I'm not voting

I have my doubts about Trump winning (He had an very early lead, which means nothing when it comes to the presidential election) but Clinton is heavily favoured for the democratic nomination unless Bernie Sanders pulls an Obama right under her nose I'm not even sure who's more electable between the 2, sure the internet loves Bernie Sanders but let's be realistic here reddit doesn't represent a country of 300 million people

And when your choices for President are 1. A fat oaf with more hair than brain or 2. A candidate riding solely on her gender and name Bernie is imo the only other serious candidate.

the sad thing is about US politics right now is that, even though Bsands is a good candidate, the main reason im voting for him is because hes the ONLY presidential candidiate that isn't a total buffoon or a corporation-backed conwoman

If very well done, illusion of freedom in games can be better than real freedom.
