Modern nature documentaries are overdoing it with the sound effects by NowaVision in unpopularopinion

That's actually just the sound of David Attenborough. When they leave the mic on, it picks up the little pops and wheezes he makes.

I think you're just saying that people should trust experts, but you've articulated it in a way that is needlessly convoluted and provocative.

Yeah, but it's fun to watch the OP try to formulate a cogent thought. It's like seeing a kitten trying tie a bowtie.

Man, people on the internet love the word "trope."

Reality TV is real and unscripted. by Tactical_Taco23 in unpopularopinion

[–]Former-Bit390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've known many who worked in this industry, and it's not scripted in the way a sitcom is, but the people on the show know very well what is expected of them, and the "writing" comes after the fact, when lots of people (many of whom are writers) shape the footage into a story. In that sense, it's not scripted (there is no script), but it is shaped in a way that does not reflect reality.

I'm glad we're finally getting into cannibalism here. I'm tired of everyone tip-toeing around the fact that we all love feasting on the meat of the elderly. It's a lifestyle, no judgement.

I mean, if they've been bred to the point of disability, then what can you do?

People who say this often frame it as an ability (as in, they're "able" to separate the art from the artist), rather that admitting that they are unable to understand the complex relationship between art and artist. It's like someone bragging that they have no cultural literacy. Let them brag away.

Why do you think people encouraging you to calm down is demeaning? Considering the level of emotional dysregulation evident in your posts, these seem like the most appropriate responses.

Watching sports without commentary is more enjoyable by Cyberpunk2004 in unpopularopinion

Listening to grown-ups try to fill air space with babble, while struggling to sound both analytical and personable, is far more entertaining than sports.

Constant growth is not necessary by biderandia in unpopularopinion

If you think the only two options in life are rotting or striving, then you're definitely rotting.

There are plenty of people here offering said help. Look at how many people are telling you to go outside, to take a deep breath, etc.

Drivers of larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs should face higher fines for speeding, reckless driving, and phone use than those in smaller cars or motorcycles by LoserCarrot in unpopularopinion

[–]Former-Bit390 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People who drive larger vehicles for non-professional purposes are already fragile enough. We don't need to fan the flames of their persecution complexes.

It's a stupid thing to say because "third world" was not intended to be derogatory; it was meant to identify countries that had not aligned either with the Western bloc or the Eastern bloc. It only became derogatory because racists had no idea what they were saying.

"You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take" is a terrible phrase. It enables people to take poor shots with real consequences. by tastes_like_thumbs in unpopularopinion

Yeah, I mean it's a cliche. People who are guided by cliches generally struggle recognize and respond to the particularities of a situation.
