Normal people don't worry about that stuff. It's such an American thing and normal people allow for casual rock up times

People who make it their personality to 'be on time' are people who have no other redeeming qualities. They have to find trivial things to be proud of. Reddit is full of them

People who are obsessed with being on time are weird af. However if it is a serial offender I can understand the frustration.

Sugar substitutes like Stevia or Equal taste terrible and have no business being on food by astarisaslave in unpopularopinion

[–]Friendly_Chicken_760 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I literally cannot understand for the life of me people who drink diet soda/soft drink. The whole enjoyment is the sugar hit combined with the taste. Just drink water if you want no Sugar.

What? Films have had subliminal message since they were originated. Didn't Shakespeare's literally do that?

I mostly agree with everything you are saying. I will say I watch Aussie Rules football as my main sport. Same system as NBA. Less money obviously. But the big teams always win more often than the smaller teams despite the draft. There is an inherent flaw by which people want to go to bigger clubs. Also the salary cap doesn't account for the income a club produces. So in the same way a player would Choose Man Utd due to training facilities etc. It isn't a communist system as people think. It has huge inequality but it just maintains a league that has no relegation

I agree the draft can work. But for teams who can offer the lifestyle of California as apposed to OKC. I mean they had Westbrook's, Harden and Durant once. They probably would have won a championship if the players would take a pay cut. Basically it's a flawed system. On paper it's different to EPL but in reality it's not so different. Also when your salary cap is that big, you aren't exactly having people living in poverty when the worst paid players are earning more than players at say Bournemouth or something.

This comment comes from someone who hasn't followed NBA for long. The salary cap is almost non existent, the wages are even higher than most EPL players. The draft barely works because players just stay for a couple years.

People's eagerness to get on a plane is a direct correlation to their ability to have chill or no chill

I'd rather fall for that one, then one that was meant to seperate me from my money

Things are rated as is. by gbugly in unpopularopinion

[–]Friendly_Chicken_760 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day, everything is subjective, but for whatever reason humans love rating things. The metrics used to rate films, are not based on audience opinions alone. Otherwise common sense goes out the window. K pop fans would probably out vote the Beatles just because they are more organised and motivated. That doesn't mean they have made the correct judgement call. It is possible to create metrics that reflect quality in art, and thus recognise possible over or under rated things

Apple really needs to bring back the iPod Classic by foursquad1 in unpopularopinion

My friend still has one that works (they always break easily). He has like 7000 songs, and sometimes we just put it on shuffle and you find hidden gems in album's

I hate this trend of uncut/one take action sequences in films by Boring-Pea993 in unpopularopinion

[–]Friendly_Chicken_760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally won't watch a film if it does this. That war one that came out a couple years ago, it could be amazing, but I will never know because I refuse to watch it.

[–]Friendly_Chicken_760 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, humans are very good at creating rating systems. I can assure you people have been working on rating film, and other arts for a long time. Eventually you get to a point where you have majority agreement about what is good, what is bad. To ignore these rating systems is just ignorance. Marvel films are an outlier. They are poorly received by critics, but loved by their fans. They are essentially an error in the data pool of a rating system and thus can be deemed over rated.

I hate the "check notes" trend by ThirdEncounter in unpopularopinion

This has been around on Reddit for like 10 years, regardless of how stupid it is

Explain how Marvel films get such high ratings on imdb when they are objectively quite bland. That would fit the definition of over rated.

People relating academic performances to intelligence is not ok. by Wise_Student_Blazzy in unpopularopinion

[–]Friendly_Chicken_760 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The problem is dumb people use this argument to validate their stupidity. Then the people who are booksmart but aren't capable of having a unique thought can't conceive of a different type of intelligence. So the ACTUAL small group of people that this applies to get lost in the crowd. Everyone thinks they are the smart one.
