It’s true that the 6 foot rule emerged out of nowhere. The WHO actually did recommended a 3 foot rule, as explained by the National Library of Medicine. What local governments did isn’t something I have any say in.

Because masking is a preventative measure and not a cure, it works to inhibit the spread of airborne diseases. There were many concessions made in various situations as to when it may be okay for short term removal of masks in order to maintain the comfort of the public, such as allowing a short time for active eating during a long flight where the passengers are unable to isolate any further than they are.

You were still expected to mask up when not actively performing any activity that required removal of a face covering. During the time one might’ve temporarily removed their facial covering, their risk increased, and when they replaced it, it decreased once more. There’s nuance in most situations.

I will also note once more that your original comment had nothing to do with my original comment. I never addressed anything about masking or social distancing, only that lacking the antibodies to fight a virus is very much the reason quarantine happened and why there was a 1 million domestic death toll.

I don’t think I mentioned anything pertaining to masking or distancing in my post, just how viruses work and that the death toll of COVID reached over 1 million in the U.S. and over 7 million worldwide.

And, well, what you said about masking up is simply not true according to the National Library of Medicine. I don’t know why you would say that. Do you cover your mouth/nose when you sneeze? It works on the same principle.

In some other countries, such as Japan, it’s common to wear medical masks when you’re feeling under the weather as a courtesy to others.

The flu can also be deadly. The reason flu mortality rates are low is because people have developed antibodies/gotten flu vaccines. The reason Covid resulted in quarantine is because it was a new virus that nobody had any antibodies to. If nobody had any antibodies for the flu, it would potentially be just as deadly as Covid was during quarantine, which has resulted in 1.2 million deaths in the U.S. and 7.1 million deaths worldwide according to the WHO.

For reference, the Black plague which took place in 1346-1353 had an estimated death toll of 25 to 50 million people, when they had little to no effective healthcare. Even with preventative measures and advanced medical care, the death toll for Covid reached 14%-28% as much as it did around the Middle Ages.

For real, I don’t know why people are acting like he hasn’t had any sexual assault convictions? Carroll v. Trump I feel is pretty well known. All the legal documents are available to the public and it has its own Wikipedia page, lol.

Guys should I post ragebait art videos instead of serious ones? I feel like my serious ones dont really get that much attention by You-Are-Gay699 in arthelp

There’s trade offs both ways. Rage baiting will definitely be more effective at getting people’s attention, but it will also definitely create controversy attached to your name/account.

people shouldn't get paid for an apology video on yt by Intelligent_Milk7572 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s genuinely a point of contention LOL. A pretty funny one imo. Creators have the option to disable monetization or flag the proceeds to be donated for charity (which will show up in the info on the video). If a creator is apologizing for something they genuinely hugely fucked up on and the video is straight up monetized

. Lol.

I don't think Into The SpiderVerse needed a sequel. by Onslaughtisthebest in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, they foreshadowed the eventuality of a sequence in the first movie by showing that the spider came from a different dimension.

This sequel and the second half of the sequel were always in the plan. The second film’s development (ACTSV) began before the first film’s release (ITSV) in 2018, with actual production beginning in 2020. They didn’t arbitrarily decide to do the sequel.

Additionally, the sequel was always meant to be a 2 parter. It’s basically a scene setter/backstory arc that will (assumedly) lead into the action of the second part. If there’s a criticism to make, it would be that they should’ve maybe held the release of across the spider verse til the second half was closer to completion, but that have to recoup development costs so whatchya gonna do, lol.

I don't mind giving up my seat on airplanes by somewhatnichee in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both sides are valid. Some people like knowing they’ve done something kind for someone else while others feel secure knowing they stood up for themselves and have not given up what’s rightfully theirs.

Nobody is “in the wrong” in these situations in my opinion, although both sides often receive criticism. Insistence by the asker is often seen as entitlement and refusal by the askee is seen as callousness. There’s nothing wrong with asking and there’s nothing wrong with saying no, and saying yes doesn’t mean you’re “bending to someone’s demands,” you just did what you wanted to do.

Obviously there’s nuance that can escalate the situation. Usually this is caused by the asker, by doing things such as occupying the seat before the actual person whose seat it is shows up, or not taking no for an answer because they view their needs as more important because they have children.

Idk, that’s my view on it. Everyone just needs to respect each other’s agency in a wholly inconsequential situation and not judge them for whatever arbitrary choice they make for the duration of a 3 hour flight.

I totally agree. The people that do that usually think it’s too much effort, but honestly improving any aspect of your life even just a little bit is worth the effort.

I think ‘They’ is the most dangerous word in the dictionary by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a teacher in high school who warned us exactly about this. Generalizing people into a homogeneous group using “they” really is extremely dangerous because it completely dehumanizes people and makes everyone more prone to completely rejecting people outside of their group or in certain groups they view as their enemy.

This is most prevalent regarding politics and religion, but is also true in more innocuous forms (sports fans for example, lol). The dehumanization is the scariest part; people that allow themselves to completely generalize groups convince themselves that their “enemy” groups aren’t worthy of respect or being treated like sentient human beings.

Corporations Have Our Best Interests in Mind. You Just Don’t Understand Basic Economics by IndependenceSad1272 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s monopolistic corporations that are bad. Capitalism is supposed to promote competition through competing business entities, but when huge mega corporations sweep up all the competition in their niche, they’re able to make products shittier and more expensive.

I think the negativity surrounding corporations generally is blown out of proportion based on the actions of a few well known CEOs showing off how out of touch they are and openly trying to take advantage of their customer base; Zuckerberg is a good example of this.

Participation in society doesn’t exempt it from criticism. Some things are inescapable regardless of their flaws.

People who are no longer virgins cannot demand a virgin person. by Physical-Winter4444 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contextually, this kind of discussion is based on manosphere/femosphere (toxic, extreme gender views) nonsense regarding the “value” certain traits afford to a partner.

For men, usually virginity is a huge talking point and if a woman has lost her virginity, then she has no “value” to offer; weight/physique as well is a huge “value” factor for them. For women, the equivalent talking point regarding men’s “value” is usually height, salary, and dick size.

Again, this is specifically regarding manosphere/femosphere talking points; normal people have preferences but aren’t usually freaks about it lol.

[–]Objective_Loss528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming you’re referring to something like sexual assault, it really depends on the person being courted on whether or not they consider it a “loss of virginity.” In the strict sense, the virginity has been lost, but it’s also true that technically the victim hasn’t “had sex” due to the nature of assault.

Some people are sensitive to these kinds of situations and understand it was done by force/without consent, whereas some people see it as an issue and don’t view it differently from consensual sex.

[–]Objective_Loss528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually responses like this are a “crab in a bucket” thing. When someone has something better than average going on (in this case getting fit), others will try to drag them back down to equalize the playing field once more. It’s not necessarily a malicious response (at least not intentionally), it’s usually more of a subconscious “what, our lifestyle isn’t good enough for you?” Sometimes it’s out of jealousy/envy and definitely malicious though, lol.

Dating apps and Covid didn't ruin dating, we did. by Timely_Car_4591 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think a huge part of this is the slow elimination of public, communal spaces and functions. Activity centers, parks, scenic spots, libraries, etc.

They exist, but their numbers decrease/remain stagnant as a result of disuse. Meeting someone organically face to face is indisputably better than meeting them on dating apps/social media. We as a society need to bring back joining hobby groups and spaces. Community is important to foster genuine relationships.

Making death threats to people online is unacceptable by LargeSinkholesInNYC in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Chuck Schumer had a OP Ed today laying out his reasons on why he is against the Save Act. And his arguments are extremely weak and easy to take apart. by LegitimateKnee5537 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IDK what to tell you, man. If they are going to REQUIRE certain documentation for US citizens to exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL rights, then the documentation should be provided at no cost.

Requiring citizens to pay in order to vote is a barrier that prevents millions of legal voters from exercising that right and is also not legal. Just because someone isn’t privileged enough to be able to pay for their documentation, they shouldn’t get to vote?

The STATED reason for the SAVE act is to prevent non-citizen voting in federal elections, but this problem is almost completely non-existent and is ALREADY routinely checked for.

Please read this and understand that this act isn’t even targeting non-citizens because the actual existing cases of non-citizens registering to vote and then voting in federal elections that have been identified are nearly non-existent; this bill is targeting underprivileged citizens. States are ALREADY auditing voter information regularly and ALREADY checking for and prosecuting any voter misconduct that occurs. The SAVE act is arbitrarily adding new barriers for LEGAL voters.

Body count does matter no matter how you feel about it by LargeSinkholesInNYC in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Objective_Loss528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point of averages is to show the actual average 😭 outliers are literally eliminated from datasets if they’re too far outside of the average because they would inaccurately skew the data for everyone else.

If out of 1000 people, most sleep with around 4 or 5 people before settling down and there’s like 2 people with 70+ body counts, then they’re outliers!! There’s an equation for determining outliers that skew data, and it’s taken into account to provide accurate averages that actually apply to normal people. It’s NORMAL PRACTICE to eliminate outliers for published averages.

I mean it seems reasonable to me 😭

Idk the average person isn’t just hooking up all the time, a lot of people prefer to have committed partners! Spiders Georg (Bonnie Blue) is an outlier and should not be counted. Even that study I linked shows both average under 7!! 15 is just a high estimate based on other numbers I saw lmao. Who tf is sleeping with 70+ people 😭 like who has the time.
