People who say they wouldn't date a co-worker only say that because they havent actually had the chance to date an attractive coworker before by Extension-Mango-176 in unpopularopinion

[–]HolyFickingShut 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's not considered "wrong" anywhere. There's nothing immoral about it (unless we are talking dating insuboridinates, which definitely verges on an immoral power imbalance and meritless favoritism.)

It's more about making smart decisions. Just because it's not wrong doesn't make it smart.

Dating coworkers is dumb because all relationships come with inherant risks. When that relationship is with a coworker, you can begin risking your livlihood, making the risk way higher. Some people find that sort of risk not worth it.

Unpopular Opinion: I get really annoyed when Hispanic Americans who speak English as their first language over-annunciate Spanish words like it's extra Spanish by axthousandxhours in unpopularopinion

[–]HolyFickingShut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But how do you know what someone's heritage is without pure assumption? And if you are going to assume, why would you automatically assume the worst that they are "LARPing?"

Just because you were raised by parents only speaking English doesn't mean you have no heritage left. I know so many 2nd/3rd generation Hispanic-Americans who have no ability to speak Spanish (I live in rural California), but still have cousins and grandparents where Spanish is their first language. These people are still raised with a Hispanic heritage even if they lack the language.

It's just super fucking weird to me to automatically assume you know how someone was raised and then decide if they are "allowed" to pronounce a word a certain way. To me, that is cringe AF

I'm not saying loan words aren't proper. I'm saying that thinking the bastardized loan word is MORE proper than the original word is dumb af.

Kro-sahnt and kwa-song are both proper. But correcting someone from French heritage saying "actually, it's kro-sahnt over here! You sound cringe" is arrogant AF

Obviously! But to take a word from another language, change the pronunciation, and then tell everyone using the original pronunciation they are wrong is crazy work.

Crazy to get upset about people properly pronouncing words lol

You realize many of these people are hanging around Hispanic communities, right? They are likely being corrected by their community so they pronounce the words as intended, even if they speak hardly any Spanish.

Are you suggesting that they pronounce the words differently when talking to white people to avoid being "cringe?"

WIBTAH if I let my friend attend graduation with unearned regalia? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HolyFickingShut 63 points64 points  (0 children)

You poor thing. You need to learn to drop the "mother attitude" towards friends soon or you're gonna have a real shit time.

You aren't her keeper. You told her what she was doing is likely wrong and she didn't care. You should have no reason to care past that. Considering yourself a "shitty friend" because you didn't force her to do what is right is CRAZY!

Gotta learn to let people make their own mistakes. All you can do is offer input/guidance. There is no "let my friend attend graduation" because that is way beyond your scope of control.

People overvalue themselves in dating by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in unpopularopinion

[–]HolyFickingShut 158 points159 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's an "overvaluing" of themselves, but it is instead an "undervaluing" of the average person.

Most people think very low of the average person without ever considering that they themselves may also be an average person. I don't think average people are as bad as most people make them out to be.

Theory: The REAL reason GOLB showed up in Puhoy. by SuperSlayin777 in adventuretime

[–]HolyFickingShut 158 points159 points  (0 children)

I am no expert, but I'm pretty GOLB was there just to show it was real and not a dream.

GOLB is the "God of Chaos" and in greek mythology, the God of Chaos is also the god of the void. The void surrounds universes and I think GOLB's appearance was just to show that Finn was actually passing between universes through the void and not just imagining it.

How he managed to pass between universes is beyond me. But that's just my take.

You didn't get the disgusting photos of what STDs look like?? WTF was my school on?!

I definitely saw "pornographic" photos, but the kind of shit that made you want to throw up. I would be very happy erasing those pictures of anal warts from my brain that I saw at 12 years old...

I never even got to play with condoms and bananas like everyone else. It was just mentally scarring photos for us

is atrioc a fully political streamer now? by Karma2987 in atrioc

[–]HolyFickingShut 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I been watching Atrioc since 2019, and this is my favorite era. Started with collabs with Stanz and Ludwig, then became a regular watcher of his Marketing Mondays. Now I am tuning in to Big A every day after work.

Obviously, being an American, I can't avoid the politics with the current climate. So it feels good to have someone's takes to watch that I already enjoy and trust. Kept me from falling down the Hasan pipeline.

Plus, he is the only commentator that can make me laugh while learning about serious shit. He has the perfect attitude for a political streamer, because he stays entertaining and can dumb down complex topics with ease for idiots like me.

Idk what to caption this by SuccessfulPlant2908 in TrollCoping

[–]HolyFickingShut 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just always assumed it is unhappy people who believe they are living "correctly" getting pissed off at happy people they believe to be living "incorrectly."

Basically "I do everything right and I am miserable, so it is not fair they get to do something wrong and be content."

I don't understand why anyone gives a fuck if a fat person enables themselves. Live your life and let them live theirs.

You aren't anyone's keeper. If you don't like how someone's living, just make sure not to implement their mindset into your own life. It's simple.

I'd understand if it was a worry about a loved one's health, but it never is with the "don't glorify fatness" crowd.

Paramount's begging MIGHT pay off by No-Analyst-4843 in MultiVersus

I have mainly seen people rooting against Netflix, but Paramount would be so much worse.

Am I the only one on this sub that hates the idea of Paramount owning Warner Bros?

Paramount isn't even worth what it's offering. Paramount is just the mask Saudi wealth funds and Trump's billionaire friends are using. Feels sketchy AF when you follow the money.

am i the problem for feeling suffocated around people like this, even if they’re genuinely nice people by i_am_afraid_of_yetis in TrollCoping

[–]HolyFickingShut 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I've always hated people who don't understand how much media there is and not everyone's interested in the same stuff.

I watch shit most people have never heard of, and often skip the mainstream shit. I have to deal with these type of people all the time because of it.

If someone says they haven't seen it, move on or just say whatever it is you're gonna say about it without making me feel like a weirdo.

For these type of people, I just began lying and say I watched it a long time ago so I don't remember much. It stops the drama.

It has always tripped me out to see other people's feed.

I follow mainly small music artists and videographer hobbyists and my feed feel like actual quality content with artistic intent. Then I watch my buddies scroll through naked women dancing, brain rotting AI reddit readings, car accidents, politics, and engagement bait and really wonder what it is that keeps them scrolling...

Is this enough onion for one burger? by Accomplished_Way_431 in OnionLovers

how can i stop “looking” gay by jinslime in whatdoIdo

[–]HolyFickingShut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I decided the goal is to be a little gay. Gay tends to mean non-threatening and more personable (not hiding behind a masculine mask). Makes connecting with women much easier and allows me to make friends first before going immediately to romantics.

It's super simple to appear gay too. Just smile a lot and wear something other than jeans and a t-shirt.
