A Festivus for the rest of us.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43125279]We had to watch that episode of Seinfeld in grade 12 English around Christmas.
I was the only one that liked it, though. It was so awkward laughing at shit and being the only one getting into it.[/QUOTE]
I was probably one out of two people in my entire graduating class who has watched and enjoyed Seinfeld. I grew up watching that show, among many others, with my parents.
It's even funnier to re-watch these old shows nowadays because I actually understand the jokes.
I've found the Starbound soundtrack to be kinda... Forgettable. Bland, I might even say. For some reason my friends keep singing their praise for it.

I actually agree with this. As much as I like Starbound the music was bland enough that I didn't even notice it at all and ended up muting it to listen to my own music instead.
John is such a bland and boring name

I would actually much rather be named John than Jacob
Ivan is a boss name.
I never care for video game soundtracks
System Shock 1 is better than System Shock 2
Aside from a couple of little kinks here and there, I think Windows 8 is a great operating system. Just toss in Classic Shell, tweak a few settings, and it essentially becomes Windows 7 with better performance.
I'm not upgrading to 8.1 until I catch wind of more bugfixes, however.

I also think that everyone who says it's bad should give it a second chance. It's gotten better since release.

Any villain who can't win is mediocre, IMO.

Wouldn't that mean most villains in history?
Steam does have better policies compared to Origin, but in the performance and optimization department, it's lacking behind. Steam works, but it feels bloated compared to Origin. I have way more hiccups with Steam than I do with Origin.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;43114077]Valve shouldn't be spending any money on SteamOS, Valve shouldn't be making SteamOS.[/QUOTE]
What about people who use/advocate Linux? I literally don't see the issue with Valve making an Steam-centric OS that's probably going to be licensed under GNU GPL. I'm all for an open-source OS made by Valve - SteamOS *does* use the Linux kernel.

i'm starring to doubt that you ever learnt any history.
Inhumanity != evil, dumb, or wrong.
Ideologies that oppose pragmatism or liberalism != evil, dumb, or wrong.
Limiting personal freedom != evil, dumb, or wrong.
Ideology that opposes personal choice and individualism != evil, dumb, or wrong.
Misanthropy and existential/moral nihilism != evil, dumb, or wrong.
Some things I see conservatives and liberals and just about everyone have alike nowadays is that they will always, [i]always[/i] equate everything I've just listed as evil or wrong in some way as if the universe has decided that "human" and "free" equates to good and anything opposing those concepts equates to bad.
I mean, most of them are total fucking hypocrites by thinking that, but when you hear their rhetoric it is always "THIS GOOD THAT BAD". You can't ever win an argument defending those things in the slightest because even the people that drone on and on about intellectual dishonesty like to include some of those values and concepts I listed in the realm of "objectively incorrect" when it is literally physically impossible for those to be objectively anything.
Oh, here's another unpopular one.
Natural law is one of the most stupid and anti-intellectual concepts ever, and doesn't belong as a basis for any system of laws or rights in the modern world.

Good villains win, mediocre ones don't. Even history reflects that.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;43137638]I can see why some people would like Windows 8, I just can't get used to it. My home computer has had it for over a year and it still makes me feel like a rat in a maze every time I use it.[/QUOTE]

Contrary to popular belief, opinions are not universally exempt from logic.

This is hardly true; you can put plenty of effort into it to make it something that you're comfortable with, just like any Windows OS.
Death Grips and The XX are garbage

[QUOTE=Mbbird;43140828]Contrary to popular belief, opinions are not universally exempt from logic.[/QUOTE]
The only time when opinions are not exempt from logic is when they go against an actual fact.
As long as it has to do with something that exists in mind (ideology, thought, existential concepts) and on paper (law), it is an opinion on entirely subjective matters.
Usually when anyone says "opinions are not exempt from logic/can be dumb", they mean, "opinions don't align with my worldview and ideology so I think they are illogical and dumb".
They can be illogical or wrong within the context of some existential thing, like saying, "this is that", when "that" is defined in a way that "this" is not "that". But if you step outside of that context and see definitions for what they are; subjective terms made by humans to define things, you see that saying "this is that" isn't inherently wrong because THE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF LOGIC SAY SO. It is only wrong within the boundaries of an entirely subjective system that only holds authority [i]because humans said so[/i].
So, yeah, not all opinions are exempt from objective logic, but a whole fuckton of them pretty much are.
You can argue that one opinion is wrong or illogical within the boundaries of some subjective system of values or concepts that humans have made up, but nowhere at any one point in time will you or your opponent actually be objectively correct or incorrect.
It amounts to, "if your opinion had weight this person/group would be affected in this way that is perceived by most people as negative so that is why you are wrong".

I know, pokemon like seal are so creative.
also goddang, every page we get an ignorant pokemon opinion as well. at the very least explain why.

and windows 7 is for the hardcore poweruser?
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Wrong and right as they pertain to existential and intangible things can only exist within a context or system of values. They do not exist in a vacuum. There is no "is ought" without "I am" and "I speak".
I think the thing is people always think of logic as some litmus test for truth when logic only really factors into the form of the argument rather than the components. You can say something wildly untrue and it can still be logical

No reason, just my opinion, and it is unpopular, hence the reason it was posted in the "unpopular opinions" thread. I wasn't told I had to give reasoning in order to persuade others into a belief similar to mine. I just posted an unpopular opinion. You are proving its validity to this thread.
