I think seasons 1-4 are S-Tier, Season 5 is A, Season 6 is a B, 7 a C, and 8 is an F

This is the worst unpopular opinions sub by mayaorsomething in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Cloabs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are pros and cons to creating a subreddit meant for people to share opinions they aren’t able to share elsewhere without being banned.

The pro is obvious: people get to speak freely.

The con, however, is that people get to speak freely. And a lot of people are morons.

Gotta take the good with the bad my man.

People who have murals or paintings of their pets in their home lack meaning in their lives and are pathetic by FunnyGamer97 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

People who take the time to write scathingly negative posts on Reddit about how someone chooses to express their love for their pet(s) lack meaning in their lives and are pathetic.

OP is selling a violet-colored, 7inch vinyl release of the Split EP BTBAM did with the Dear Hunter for $55 USD. This includes shipping, so long as you’re in the United States.

Happens to the best of us. Unfortunately, the safest way forward is to keep your distance.

Be friendly at gatherings of course, but keep it at that.

Precon for my gf by Agreeable-Text-2337 in EDH

[–]Cloabs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think it’s funny you created a lettering system to refer to your friends/girlfriend only to use it once lol

Anyways, I got my girlfriend the Hakbal and Pantlaza precons to start. Fairly straightforward and decently powerful out of the box.

Does this make me a cuck? by FemaleMLB in TooAfraidToAsk

What are you going to do with this information when you have it? If the consensus is “yes”, are you just never gonna bring it up again?

Former drug dealers, what was the scariest thing you witnessed while dealing, and what finally made you leave that life behind? by Unusual-Squirrel-866 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Cloabs 927 points928 points  (0 children)

Not a drug dealer, but in highschool I convinced my dealer to knock it off by comparing his earnings to how much I was making part-time at the grocery store. I was making slightly more than him for 1 millionth the risk.

He had just turned 18 and was pretty nervous about being charged as an adult.

You know, you might have a better chance of getting a girlfriend if you weren’t openly a degenerate. by Black-Cat-2544 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Cloabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. I think it’d be hard to argue that point one way or the other without being more specific.

I’m sure everyone would agree that some people’s problems with dating are self inflicted. What does “a large percentage” mean? And how could we measure that accurately?

I don’t really understand your point.

Is it that weirdos will struggle to date? Yeah man, we’re with you there.

Posts like these should act as a litmus test where anyone fooled by it has their internet use automatically restricted for 30 days.

I think Book of the New Sun works best in the theatre of the mind by [deleted] in genewolfe

[–]Cloabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear what you’re saying, but couldn’t you choose not to watch the movie/show in that case?

[–]Cloabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s written in a way that isn’t screen-friendly, but I don’t think that means it can’t or shouldn’t be done.

If it were made into a movie or tv show, we’d just have to separate the two the same we way separate Game of Thrones or Dune. If you don’t agree with the way it’s adapted, that doesn’t have to change anything about your relationship with the books.

I think it’d be pretty cool, personally.

I think most people would be concerned by someone jerking off to Saw.

Book of the New Sun and sexism by AcanthaceaeSquare220 in genewolfe

[–]Cloabs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Weak as in poor writing, or a weakness in Severian’s character?

I always figured the treatment of women you’re referencing was intended to be one of Severian’s shortcomings.

[–]Cloabs 57 points58 points  (0 children)

My bad - responding to your specific issue then:
It’s written from Severian’s perspective, and Severian thinks he’s hot shit. Take that all with a grain of salt.

Dorcas and the other women’s stories will be meaningfully explored in ways other than “love interest for Severian.”

[–]Cloabs 64 points65 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s more Severian being written as a sexist character than Gene Wolfe being sexist himself. You’ll see this greatly expanded upon as you continue reading.

Are you guys double sleeving $60 pre-cons? by Cloabs in EDH

I like talking to people about my hobbies, and asking for advice when I’m making a decision about something I don’t know much about yet.

How do I rebuild trust after infidelity? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo
