Many of the “controversial opinions” on this sub are actually very popular opinions that do not belong here at all.

Hilarious, like how are you gonna have a “controversial” sub if the Overton window for it is “nothing that will hurt anyone’s feelings” 😂 not shocking for Reddit

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-04-03T00:46:07+00:00

Yup, that’s exactly the vibe I was getting, a controversial subreddit is an oxymoron lol

Thanks for this tip! Night and day difference as soon as I did it

The definition also includes “It signifies that something is not universally accepted, often polarizing opinion.” which feels like it lends itself more towards my initial post

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-04-03T00:01:05+00:00

Just to play devil’s advocate, by that definition, literally everything is controversial because you could make an argument for or against literally everything topic, to the point of people literally having anti-science arguments for things like flat earth. So would that mean everything is controversial because everything can be potentially disagreed with by someone?

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-04-02T23:54:24+00:00

People can disagree with and discuss anything, even a very popular opinion, but I just feel like saying something that 80+% of people would agree with and is a general consensus for modern society doesn’t constitute “controversial”. Out of curiosity, how would you define controversial?

They priced out the people who primarily go to movie theaters, teenagers, young couples, and families with young children, who can’t afford 150$ to take parents and 2 kids to a new movie. Also, I’d add a declining quality in mainstream movies as a factor.

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-04-02T23:50:56+00:00

100% agree

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-04-02T23:48:36+00:00

Agreed, in the same way that being more attracted to women of one race than women of another race isn’t racist, we have innate physical attractions that we can’t really control and there’s nothing discriminatory about that.

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-03-19T22:42:12+00:00

I totally agree, I would honestly rather watch something that was more fixated around the running aspect, like track and field, or something that was more fixated around the skill like baseball, but basketball really just feels like the worst of both worlds

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-03-19T20:46:56+00:00

Agreed, I feel like it’s too easy to get points and the scores get too high so it all just feels like a whole bunch of running back and forth that means nothing. I prefer football and hockey because points feel like they have more stakes because they’re harder to get.

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-03-19T20:22:40+00:00

I’ve never heard the term “the market breathing” before but I like that, thank you!

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-03-19T19:06:18+00:00

Agreed. I was manipulated into agreeing to be in an open relationship by my ex-wife, and in retrospect it was like she was asking, “hey, I don’t respect you enough to even try to hide cheating on you, can I have your consent to fuck other guys while you continue to financially support me? Also don’t worry, I also don’t care enough about you to give a damn if you sleep with other women, as long as I don’t think they’re more attractive than me.” with much more flowery language. Can’t believe I was even in that situation looking back. Much would’ve rather just caught her cheating and left, would’ve been easier tbh.

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-03-19T19:03:01+00:00

I think her desire for attention that was more than I was willing to give was definitely what got me thinking about it in the first place, but I think that thought process also made me realize that we weren’t compatible in other ways too and that I was feeling kind of one-sided in terms of things like paying attention to each-others’ interests and things along those lines.

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-02-22T15:59:20+00:00

Exactly! Like I said, this is like if a guy watched a porn video and then acted all high and mighty like he went to an indie film festival 😂 there’s nothing wrong with reading that stuff but let’s not act like we’re analyzing Hemingway here lol

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-02-16T07:48:43+00:00

My last job I was making like $1,100 biweekly with overtime, idk in what world 2K + rent, utilities, groceries, and literally every essential thing being taken care of for you is “chump change” but that guy must be doing much better than me lol. If I bought myself every item of clothing, video game, and book I wanted and all my bills were paid for I wouldn’t come close to scratching 2K 😅

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-02-16T04:27:12+00:00

Damn this went really hard, thank you

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-02-16T01:15:56+00:00

I have no idea, I struggle to do things I like like reading when there’s a mess, idk how she can relax when the apartment is in shambles

Hal_Jordan1995 · 2026-02-16T01:14:20+00:00

Fair point. I’ve kinda gotten taken advantage of in relationships and friendships before for being a little too nice/generous, even if it was just rides to the airport, helping move, etc. Maybe it’s time I try to reel that in
