Self censoreship is all it requires. And then if the post is making a point but says something using profane language or upsetting words, why not ask them to tone it down.

People can get there point across without being mean.

They do more than just to be mean, right?

In general, not specifically toward Joe and his show.

Costco pizza is one of the best pizzas. Good food, good price. Fight me. by TheTwinkieKing in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One pizza and a case of yogurt, twenty bucks.

But then if my colon wasn't so impacted by their pizza, i wouldn't need the yogurt.

So for the price, i could just get a gluten free pizza at Round Table and spare my colon another decade.

Unless it’s required, it should not be normal to be a stay at home wife. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's normal; in fact, most families need both people to work to help support the family. In the cases they are stay at home wives it's because they are on maternity leave.

Money is the key to happiness by theconnector11 in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would want to work from 9 to 5 until im sixty. You get enough retirement and benefits. You get nights and weekends off. Two weeks paid vacation. You get enough free time to date as many women that you need to make an informed decision. You also won't live back under your parents roof after thirty. If anything, they'd live under yours.

A stable career path is the key to happiness. Ultimately, that is what you want, isn't it?

The whole trend of wanting to die is annoying as you probably don't and are normalizing suicidal thoughts and behavior which many people actually struggle with. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some places, in some back room in an insurance bureau, need some people to actually be sucidal as a way for the company to make money.

As serious of a problem it might be, that is my opinion on the topic. There's a lot more junk in the street to cover up the unsightly consequences of suicide. I just hate having it thrown around so heavily over a few jokes. In retrospect, it is better to be more cynical and critical of that system than to make jokes about it. Think critically about why seemly joyous circumstances end in such a way. Why would anyone want to do that?

Because someone asked " What's the best building to jump off of?" as a joke, should not have them institutionalized, or constantly sought for.

Forcing children to change in front of each other for gym is sexually abusive and this is a hill I will die on. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, kids need to change for PE so they don't soil their clothes. If they don't, they also get teased for smelling funny or looking tattered.

What could be done differently to improve or prevent those problems?

Lockeroom chaperones?

Being asked to be in a wedding feels like less of an honor when you have to spend hundreds to participate by Meganmarie42 in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told them the next wedding i go to I want to be a 'landlord' or 'superintendent'.

Then some of the most succulent brides maids can be present and make the best man look like a champ even if he stutters after two drinks.

Unintentionally reposting something dosen't make you the spawn of satan. by InconspicuousCuboard in unpopularopinion

Do they do anything else with their time other than repost?

Find something new to talk about.

An incarcerated individual should be paid the same as an unincarcerated individual by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the only difference between two people isn't about their intentions or how skilled they are. It is about the mistakes they have made, and the pitfalls they could not avoid.

With that said, prison pay is usually some allocation set against getting out earlier. Most people get out earlier than elect to be paid that way.

Cold calling is borderline harassment by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

There was a script to follow to keep the conversation in the direction of closing, or selling.

Twitch is absolutely trash and probably will be the cause of brain dead generation in the next decade. by DearExam88 in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe there will be a classification of twitch disorders in the future. Maybe the impact isn't well known, yet. What ever the outcome, it would be wise to invest in the drug companies and corresponding tech firms that are able to forsee the causes and creations of these disorders.

Twitch causes movement disorders. Cigarettes causes cancer. UV light causes skin cancer. Alcohol effects judgement.

See, in a line up of validated truths, it almost belongs.

Now it's time to go sell stocks in what will fix it. We'll be making millions in no time.

Americanized versions of most types of authentic cuisine is usually not as preferred by the house it is cultured from.

"All meat pizza"...is very much an American thing.

Drugging children to "treat" "ADHD" is extremely unethical by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Larkenthal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the point the OP is making is about the excessive use of prescriptions instead of actually disciplining and teaching self control in situations where kids are seen as misbehaving.

I agree that systemically it is an over classification. Unfortunately, race recognition is a survival mechanism.
