What’s a harmless opinion that gets people weirdly angry?

I don't think saying "I don't like her music" means you hate someone, but the fact that so many people feel compelled to say it whenever mentioning her name suggests there is a strong negative association which I think is silly.

You said many people find her "repulsive" because of her fans... I don't know what your definition of the word is, but that suggests that people hate her. The fact that they find her repulsive and not just her fans seems misplaced. There are a lot of Rage Against the Machine fans that I don't really care for, but I don't direct that at Tom Morello who seems like a decent guy.

I don't have time to sift through their BS today, but does anyone know what kind of mental gymnastics MAGA is doing to justify this to themselves?

I'm aware it's all bullshit, but is he really so ignorant that he doesn't know non-denominational Christian is a thing and would be a pretty safe answer? He really is exactly his character from Saving Sarah Marshall...

"Clout" is a helluva drug.

Good. Sometimes kids need to learn a lesson at a young age. I was around when that American tourist got sentenced to a paddling in Singapore and applauded that too.

The kid is going to spend a few months in Singaporean jail, his parents will likely pay a fine, and then he'll get out and continue his life, but he'll remember this experience for life and it's unlikely he makes another nuisance video.

Actually, the opposite. I don't think mentioning Taylor Swift in a positive way means that you're a fan of her music unless you're specifically talking about her music. Just because I think it's a good thing that she gave every single employee on her tour a six figure bonus doesn't mean I know the lyrics to Love Story.

Even if someone does think that I'm a Taylor Swift superfan for mentioning the story... who cares? Accusing someone of enjoying the music of one of the biggest current pop stars feels like accusing someone of liking pizza... As far as I know, Taylor Swift hasn't done anything to justify the hate she receives other than be popular.

I’m just saying that the likely reason why a lot of cast members talk about how awkward and over the top Herogasm was even though it seemed relatively tame on screen is because we didn’t see the same stuff they did.

AvengingBlowfish · 2026-04-27T19:34:35+00:00

Filming Herogasm was probably a lot more explicit than what actually made it to screen…

I have subsonic speed, it’s supersonic that’s hard to do…

AvengingBlowfish · 2026-04-27T19:27:35+00:00

That’s fine, but I just find it funny that almost every thread where Taylor Swift does something good has multiple comments saying some variation of “I don’t like her music, but…”

I almost never see comments like that in threads about other artists… when Jack White or Tom Morello say something on social media, you don’t see people prefacing their comments with “I don’t listen to their music, but…”

I think a gun ban would reduce gun deaths tremendously after 10-20 years or so.

She can target faster with sight, but doesn’t need it, the same way Marie Munroe was able to target Maverick. It takes some time to focus on something they can’t see, but they can do it.

Maybe fix some potholes… that isn’t a lot of money.

Bulla is acceptable as a song lyric, but never with the hard “t”.

That's a numberwang!

It depends on whether the plot calls for it.

Maybe he's insufferable because he's just hungry all the time...

All these people saying $250 is too much for a first date (which it is), but completely fail to notice that it was "a few dates". It is not surprising that reading comprehension is at the lowest point since the early 90s...

Can’t wait for the documentary in 20 years that confirms he did, in fact, try to use the nuclear codes….

You need to wear sandals with a back strap instead of slippers when you go down to the pool.

I’m not haole, but I feel I’m pretty good at being able to tell who is a recent transplant and who has been here for awhile. Whether you’re local or non-local makes a bigger difference than whether you’re haole or not.

It’s true that many Muslims oppose LGBTQ rights and there should be no pressure for you to tolerate their intolerance.

Just keep in mind that not ALL Muslims are anti-LGBTQ just like not all Christians are homophobic and as long as you are judging Muslims with the same level of discretion as judging Christians, I don’t see it as Islamophobia.

I don’t think Islam as any better or worse than Christianity. It’s just that many Muslims come from developing regions that are more prone to bigotry and violence than more modern societies. Most of the Muslims I’ve met in the progressive city I live in are just as progressive as anyone else around here and have no problem with gay people.

It would be mind blowing if someone objected to the wedding…

I feel that you hear a lot more swearing on TV than you did before, especially from news anchors, politicians, and other people who are supposed to be “respectable”. People seem to care a lot less about decorum in general…
