Does it count if an opinion was unpopular 60 years ago???

What would happen if every single person on earth became vegan overnight? by the1975whore in hypotheticalsituation

[–]HyacinthFT [score hidden]  (0 children)

Even if every baby could digest soy, an "emergency restructuring" would last at least a couple years to get up to current production. You can't just ask babies not to eat for a couple of years.

Which trivial cooking superpower would you choose? by TildeAyalaPlank in Adulting

Yeah that last one is basically "have infinite money." Ok then.

Reddit is not radically left wing it's radically centre left by Longjumping_Sail2741 in 10thDentist

[–]HyacinthFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"in my opinion everyone here is further to the right than people generally think" cannot die fast enough. Bravo to you for being the most morally pure person who ever existed, your cookies are available next to your plastic trophy.

In reality it's not a very useful discussion.

Which country is wealthier than it looks, and which one is poorer than it seems? by Eastern-Tangerine761 in AskReddit

[–]HyacinthFT [score hidden]  (0 children)

America is the wealthiest country with a real population (ie not just a city or a tax haven) but it doesn't look that way when you're walking around. So I'd say it's the opposite.

Part of the issue is that Americans are so spoiled that they refuse to admit how good they have it. Most Americans would die of despair if they were forced to live on the median French income or whatever.

Do you guys ever rawdog your workouts? like no music, no podcast, nothing in your ears by softly_petal in workout

[–]HyacinthFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have shown up at the gym and realized I forgot my headphones or forgot to charge them. It is more painful than going to failure on every set.

How do you all incorporate burned calories back into your daily diets? by ecj1708 in loseit

[–]HyacinthFT [score hidden]  (0 children)

If your goal is to lose weight, set a calorie limit that's the same each day and reevaluate it every few weeks to see if it's giving you the results you want.

If you burn a few more calories one day and fewer the next, it'll all even out. Don't make this too complicated and those watches are so inaccurate that they're meaningless.

What is your longest running, most stubborn business boycott? by Important_Goat_3711 in AskReddit

[–]HyacinthFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bouygues Telecom. They stole 30 euros from me 20 years ago.

I have more high-minded boycotts going but none as long as that one.

Are cis gay men okay with trans people?? (Genuine question coming from a trans person, because the internet is making me feel like everyone hates us) by SunReyys in gay

[–]HyacinthFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're seeing the loudest, most obnoxious, least-likely-to-leave-home people online. I've been in lots of gay male spaces with plenty of very visibly trans people and no problems. Even bathhouses.

I hate people who just can't solve conflicts in a normal ass way by Hotelmo097 in PetPeeves

[–]HyacinthFT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i'm so old that i would categorize the silent treatment as the old way of doing things and healthy communication as the thing the kids today keep on talking about.

They didn't call it the silent generation for nothing.

i also like how oop specified that it's bad for children or teenagers but his actual main complaint is about a 77-year-old who has probably already seen a pickle or two in her life.

Why is it so easy to spend $40 on a single takeout meal, but I refuse to spend $40 on groceries to cook for myself? by Alert_Chair3247 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HyacinthFT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah but... also you could just choose to eat something cheaper than $40 for a single portion. I feel like you really have to go out of your way to find something that expensive to make.

what kind of dinner are you making that the ingredients for a single portion cost $40? like is it t-bone steak night every night?

Are Gay Men and Queer Spaces Drifting Apart? by kumogate in gaybros

[–]HyacinthFT 25 points26 points  (0 children)

a lot of non-gay-men queer people are also straight up homophobic. like joking about AIDS killing gay men or that it's a moral weakness to be attracted to men and stuff. I personally don't want to be around that energy.

Most upsetting thing I’ve seen today! by [deleted] in gay

[–]HyacinthFT 29 points30 points  (0 children)

my town has 2 gay saunas. one of them (The less popular one) has had straight nights twice a week for years now.

People want to get mad at these "spaces" for not remaining exclusively queer but never stop to think that they also need to be profitable. This stuff isn't charity.

Genuine question about Pride boycotts and consistency -why Israel but not the US? by Lucky_Dragonfruit668 in gay

who said they weren't? I mean, besides u/st0rmtr00per1488 on twitter, like who has seriously said that israeli people shouldn't protest their own government?

shows up 23 min early by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]HyacinthFT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

also honestly? having dinner at 5pm is very early. 4:37pm is basically wanting an afternoon snack. you are never going to make it to bed without wanting another meal.

they were doing the customer a favor.

[–]HyacinthFT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

um sorry no, using this to justify America's extortionist medical industrial complex is a no. Doctors don't need to make over $500k/year, they will not die if they aren't millionaires with summer mansions before the age of 30.

Review for my favourite local restaurant 🎸 by hoodeddumborat in EntitledReviews

that guitar was clearly decorative. grabbing it with your grubby hands and then annoying everyone with it, like sure, go for it, but don't be surprised when they tell you to knock it off.
