[QUOTE=Alice3173;43615810]If it's factually wrong it's not an opinion.[/QUOTE] Okay, this is a late response but I'd like to put some solid understanding on opinions. Hopefully this will make them feel less vague and ambiguous and perhaps even reduce misuse. Fact: A true statement. "That box is 20 inches wide." "It's 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside." Opinion: A true statement about the speakers feelings or beliefs. "I think that box is 20 inches wide." "It's cold outside." (This may seem like a fact in some situations but is simply a shared opinion.) Opinions are facts about the user's beliefs. If there is a such thing as a wrong opinion, it would be the speaker telling a lie about themselves, not whether or not their beliefs are an accurate representation of reality. Of course, any statement made by anyone is technically an opinion. Every "fact" outside one's perception of one's own mind is simply an opinion accepted by a majority, assuming other people even exist...
[QUOTE=BananaFoam;43642385]He's interesting, but I hate his video style. I don't want to sit here for 40 minutes listening to you ramble over some footage with either no clear points or points that are clear but you go over them dozens of times. It is unnecessary. EDIT YOUR VIDEOS. I can barely be asked to sit through a [I]good[/I] 40 minute video from someone who actually puts effort into it, let alone an unedited piece of rambling. If he condensed his videos into short, precise criticisms of a game, then they would be good. [/QUOTE] You would hate Giant Bomb Quick Looks. Their Euro Truck Simulator 2 QL is over two hours long.
[QUOTE=Greetings;43642247]Robert Plant is the most annoying singer of any band ever and by far the least talented member of Led Zeppelin.[/QUOTE] Yes, so much. He sounds like they were cutting his balls off in like just about every LZ song.
[QUOTE=Swiket;43642603]You would hate Giant Bomb Quick Looks. Their Euro Truck Simulator 2 QL is over two hours long.[/QUOTE] More like long look Rooster Teeth did a 2 hour long FUEL lets play where they drove across the entire map from edge to edge, they got pizza about half way through :v: I do agree unedited LPs are really boring a lot of the time, that's why I never watch livestreams, if people I like do a livestream I will usually wait until its uploaded fully and watch it later while skipping through
I don't get what's so great about Red vs Blue.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;43642352]I was actually mocking people who insist on watching anime in Japanese which is a surprisingly huge portion of them. To the point where sometimes it can be hard to actually find a dubbed version of an anime even when it exists. Out of all the people I know who watch a lot of anime only two aren't American and only one of those doesn't speak English as their first language. Only the one that doesn't prefers subs there but when it comes to Americans that watch anime that I personally know, I only know one person other than myself that prefers them dubbed.[/QUOTE] That's because the quality of dubs is fucking atrocious in almost everything. I've only seen 3 anime series that had decent dubs.
Those fucking Polandball comics in LMAO Pics are so incredibly unfunny and every time someone says "that's enough of those" everyone's like "ooh shut the fuck up you don't like thing we get it nobody cares" But like legitimately though there's so many of them and I'm so sick of them
NATO is very bad EU is weird USA is wacky and imperialistic Slavs are not subhumans(oh, did i rustle your jimmies eh eh?)

[QUOTE=Gwoodman;43645096]Why though?[/QUOTE] Some people legitimately don't find those comics funny and if anyone has anything to say about it they get flooded with dumbs. It's really hypocritical on FP's part because, like most of the jokes that come and go here, they'll have their heyday and eventually when everyone finds it tired and old we start harassing people who keep it going

We don't need someone saying they don't like it every time a picture is posted. Just rate it and move along.

I am sorry, but communities are not based around a "shut up and get over it" policy. We are supposed to allow every member to freely contribute and not feel discouraged, but the rating system, especially the dumb rating, completely removes that.

Sure, there are posters with different opinions, but they are too afraid to post them because they will get dumbed and berated and even insulted. We swarm on posts we dislike, and that isn't the way a community works. We look back on 'savages' forming lynch mobs to root out people with opinions or beliefs contrary to the majority, but we do it all the time. Not as violent, but the same principle applies. Many people with alternate opinions are ostracized here, and to say you should just "rate and ignore" is contrary to any ideals of discussion. And after all, [I]discussion is what forums are made for.[/I] Hell, I think the dumb rating should just be removed. It was supposed to be used for people with bad spelling, grammar, or going against actual facts, but it has always been misused against people who hold a contrary opinion. Hell, I'm not above it. I sometimes rate dumb just because the other person's opinion doesn't line up with my own.

On facepunch, your avatar means more for how known you are than your name does. Thats why you remember users like Zeke, but forget ones who change their names constantly. This does not apply to people who are giant shitheads, like Milkandcooki.
Butts are ugly.

Even I've been known to do it and I'm normally someone who goes by name instead.
This is why you should never change your avatar after you find a good one.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;43643201] Rooster Teeth did a 2 hour long FUEL lets play where they drove across the entire map from edge to edge, they got pizza about half way through :v:[/QUOTE] I found that lets play strangely entertaining even though nothing happened in it.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;43647011]straight black coffee is poison[/QUOTE] Depends how it's made, if you go to starbucks who basically burn the beans and then make a really shitty coffee, yeah, of course it's not going to be a good cup. [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;43647166]but american coffee tastes like water[/QUOTE] Woo stereotypes! Also is there even such a thing as "American Coffee", America doesn't sit inside the area that coffee grows well in. The coffee made here varies greatly, if you survive off of starbucks and mcdonalds you won't get to taste good coffee, nor good anything. If you go to even decent restaurants that serve coffee you'll find something pretty good.

I hate it when idiots are like "But it being in a different language isn't the way the creator intended it to be seen!". I am to assume they read manga in English though, which does the exact same thing. Unless they read manga in Japanese but with little English subtitles at the bottom of each page.
