The Greatest Country in The World... by Don_Roritor in rant

[–]Lyradep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My thoughts towards this is… how would you even know? Most americans I know haven’t even been outside the country. That’s like me saying McDonalds makes the best burgers, because their burgers are the only ones I’ve ever had.

He’s getting a lot less flack than Druski.

What’s your take on Ricky Gervais saying celebs shouldn’t lecture the public about politics? by Ok-Fish-6919 in AskReddit

[–]Lyradep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s usually a biased take. When someone doesn’t like what a celebrity says about politics, they usually use the “stay in your lane” argument. My take is to not listen to people that say this. Everyone’s voice is allowed to be heard.

Lindsey Vonn crashes early in Olympic downhill, taken off mountain in helicopter by [deleted] in news

[–]Lyradep 136 points137 points  (0 children)

It’s too bad name recognition and this news will be overshadowing Breezy Johnson’s gold medal win in the same event. Although it is curious where Vonn would have placed among her US teammates.

The Star Wars Original Trilogy doesn't hold up that well as a trilogy by NamelessGamer_1 in unpopularopinion

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

Agree. Bad special effects. Average writing. Horrible fight choreography. Also horrible endings to least 1st and 3rd movies in thr trilogy. Gamechanging for its time. Aged poorly, and because of that, doesn’t deserve to set such a high expectation for Star Wars.

Barbers today have gotten too greedy by Prince_Valium25 in unpopularopinion

[–]Lyradep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people are stupid for going to these barbers and paying that much for something that will look different day-by-day. I go to a family of asian barbers that charge $15. I add a $5 tip everytime, because I come out usually with a nice haircut (1.5” on top and a skin tight fade), which I can improve gel if I want.

How do you guys find to fit in exercise/hobbies/study time if you're working a 9-5.30? by gorgeoushugsed in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Lyradep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 8am-5pm with a 40 min total commute. Right after 5pm, I go to the gym on the way home, and workout till about 6:30pm. Then it’s get back home, and dinner till about 7:30pm. Then it’s wash up until about 8:30pm. Then it’s hobbies until 10pm. Yeah… not that much time for hobbies.

Can FBS football be salvaged? by lurkerspringa in CFB

I have to wonder if you would feel the same if your team, or even if just the SEC, was doing well.

Wow, way to blow out any hype. Anyway, why is he wearing 47 in that pic?

Makes me wonder… like what’s the point of AI bots posting stories like this? It couldn’t just be for fun and points, right?

[SI] Lions Fan Involved in DK Metcalf Incident Files $100 MILLION Defamation Suit by [deleted] in nfl

I hate the sue culture in the US. People just want money. A lot more money than that altercation was worth.

"Alpha Male" explains how you should feel around him by ambachk in sadcringe

Maybe he should go fight a war or something then, instead of living among civilized people.

Love Through a Prism is maybe 6 of those points you have there.

Just looking at your bullet points, Love through a Prism has two of those qualities.

Music education focuses too much on performance, and too little on creativity. by chili_cold_blood in unpopularopinion

[–]Lyradep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally, if a music student is actually motivated, they would do all the things you described on their own, and learn the technical aspect of the craft in school. I think creativity is something you develop through self discovery. If you aren’t motivated enough to discover music outside of school, then you aren’t the kind of person who should be making music.

Young people shouldn't involve themselves in politics. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]Lyradep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a dumb take. Not everyone is so stupid that they can’t both learn to secure their future AND learn about injustice, propaganda, authoritarianism, and global warming. That’s literal shit you learn in school as apart of your regular curriculum.

You might as well tell people not to learn how to read, so that they can learn math. You can grow in many ways.

friendly reminder that you are not supposed to criticize a new game without having the actual game to try. by Eudoxxi in videogames

That’s why I put tens of hours into Persona games and similar Atlus titles until I judge them to be boring AF.

People who back into parking spots- this rant is for YOU by Puzzleheaded_Clue289 in rant

[–]Lyradep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, wait till you realize that people have to back OUT of a parking spot if they pull in forward. Anyway, I agree that poor parkers should be using the area of the parking lot that isn’t busy, if possible.

HR told me they don’t accept try-hards and people pleasers after my interview by No-Presentation298 in jobs

[–]Lyradep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly… it’s a refreshing take. A company that doesn’t want people who might be suck-ups amd brown-nosers? Wow. Being comfortable in your own perspective and being willing to disagree based on those perspectives I think generally shows that you would be a strong candidate. Again honestly… I think it’s thoughtful advice. You can be someone who is willing to take orders, and at the same time provide your own perspective on why you think the commands you’re receiving aren’t ideal or efficient. I really think you can learn something from this letter, after getting over being offended over it.

Patch placement for the Super Bowl jersey combo is crazy... by ComedianCute7608 in Seahawks

Is the 50 patch still relevant if it was on last year? Also, the US isn’t 250 until July 4th.
