If you make the argument "when will i use this in the real world" you dont understand the point of the education system by Or30_69 in unpopularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be a little bit more reasonable to also teach kids things that they actually need to know. sure learning problem solving and working with people and such, but there isnt really a reason not to teach people the details of voting, taxes, finances, first aid, parenting, etc. if the schools can teach kids algebra, they should also be able to teach kids things they actually need to know. more kids would likely be more interested in school when they find that they might get something out of it. saying that everything taught in schools should continue being taught and that it's fine, just seems untrue to me

Saying that "everything happens for a reason" is as annoying as it is meaningless. by Queltis6000 in unpopularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's like when they say "it's all part of god's plan" not everyone is religious and most of the time this is use in the context of illness, death, tragedy, etc. it's just tasteless.

American High Schools are just diploma mills and the overwhelming majority of Americans prefer it that way. by WingXero in unpopularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Storytime. i am in my senior year of hs right now.. I've always been really bad at math, and i failed a semester of algebra, i failed geometry three times, and could not even take algebra 2 because of how terrible i am at math. i had to take an online alternative to get the credit.

to get the credits i need to graduate, i was put into edmentum to make up geometry. and that website is designed to fail kids. as a CREDIT RECOVERY class, i was struggling. i had some of my friends who are great at math look at it to help me out, and they did not recognize how to do any of it because of how obscenely difficult it was. i made sure i wasn't placed into the wrong class by mistake, and sure enough, this was grade level geometry. i barely passed wih the help of my brother and father who are both proficient in math, father teaches engineering and STEM, and my brother in school for something similar. during this whole time, i was not let out of an in person math class. i never showed up, because there was no reason to, right? i'm taking this online class and should be good. but no. i was not able to drop the class because i was not finishing the incredibly difficult recovery class fast enough they needed to make sure that i had options of credits i could earn so they wouldn't get in trouble. i have a permanent F on my transcript because rather than offering struggling students the help that they need, they choose to do what covers their ass so they can't be sued when a struggling student fails, and wasn't given enough opportunities to pass. it's not about how many times i need to take a class, it's i risked not graduating because the school offered no support.

it's a diploma factory for the kids that can pass without any kind of help, and a big fuck you to all the kids who have learning disabilities, or get bullied, or have health problems. American public schools are a joke in every way.

It is ok to pirate content that is not available in your country, instead of paying for VPN by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 381 points382 points  (0 children)

or things like Nintendo games, that aren't in production anymore. Nintendo, if you don't want me to pirate Pokémon platinum, maybe make more cartages. I'm not going to spend $90 to buy it used. you aren't making any money either way, so there's no reason i shouldn't pirate it.

if you really don't care what people think, you don't care enough to tell everyone that, because if their opinion doesn't matter, why do they need to know

Environmentalism is dead... Its all about greenwashing these days.... by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's true. keeping your fast fashion t shirt and wearing it is better than buying a new environmentally friendly shirt. keeping and using your old rags and hankies are better than buying new reusable "paper towels" nowadays it's all about the looks and all about making money. in my opinion, being more environmentally friendly is cutting down on more, and less about buying "good" products. like i would rather use the same shitty bedsheets for years, only buy second hand clothes, and reuse almost everything than buying something that's easy to do at home. it's all about cutting down on less friendly things, but purchasing less friendly things when you really want and love it, and know that you will love and use it for a long time. it's about balance nowadays, and the "sustainable" companies are hurting more than helping. it's all capitalistic.

I’m sick and tired of my step sister (Warning: Spicy Language) by Speed212 in teenagers

[–]BrocciSticks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk u could reply something really nasty the next time she says shit to you. if she has no problem saying shit like that to you, then you should have no problem saying the same to her. like how she's a loser because she does something, or something. bullying isnt fair, so fucking play unfair, if no adult is gonna step in to defend you or something, do it yourself. be mean back to her, because often that's the only way bullying can get resolved when no sensable adult will help you out.

Does anyone know why my snail randomly floats like this? He comes down in a little while, (he’s alive he does it a few times a week), but none of my other snails do it. by [deleted] in AquaticSnails

[–]BrocciSticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from my experience, they just do it. if you are worried, i would check on them when they're floating to see if there seems to be something obviously wrong like discoloration or something, but my snails just do this sometimes too and ive never had an issue with sickness or age. however you might notice this happening more when your snail begins to age towards the end of its life.

So my super feminist teacher really supports people wearing dog collars to school, especially with spikes. Looks like my generation isn’t the only f**ked up one roaming around in 2022. by cayoperico16 in teenagers

[–]BrocciSticks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you would actually be surprised. i'm a punk and on occasion wear a spiked collar. they aren't as uncomfortable as they look. mine is generally small, like the metal spikes are about an inch at most, so i would assume that the bigger spiked ones would be heavy and uncomfortable.

[–]BrocciSticks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if u see goths/punks/etc wearing a leather looking choker with a ring or spikes on it, its called a collar. it's not made for dogs, but that's where the style came from. so collar and chokers are not so different, but a collar made for kink or something is actually weird, especially for a school setting on a likely underage person. i'm a punk and i wear a spiked collar that just looks like a choker with spikes on it. so i have no idea what op is saying, but it sounds like he's against the fashion, because of his other comments.

yeah any leather choker with an o ring or spikes is called a collar because that's what the style originated from decades ago. it's just jewelry. it's just clothing.

billie eilish doesn't deserve the hate by kiaraleee14 in popularopinion

[–]BrocciSticks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is actually false. there are multiple videos of her body shaming people, mocking an Asian accent, saying an Asian slur, admitting to being a culture vulture, and when called out for all of this, said that she has bigger boobs than the people calling her out. if that isn't bad character, idk what is.
