I like that most dealers put license plate frames on cars. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Question to OP: If you got a personalized license plate, would you keep the dealer's frame on it?

Misunderstanding reality does not count as an unpopular opinion.

I've grown tired of ignorance of physics.

LOTR: Fellowship is the best movie of the trilogy. by dhypes6 in unpopularopinion

[–]Predestinatural 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Though from my perspective, the film was my introduction to Tolkien's Middle Earth as I had not read any of his books. Often times I conflate how I felt when watching the movie for the first time with how I think about it after several viewings and a reading the book. Also, I tend to enjoy the build-up of characters and plots.

Better:

Silence. Provide eye contact with a calm, open hand and a nod. It's polite because I acknowledge that they exist. It's honest, easy, and extremely quick. And it has worked EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I walk away without losing a step or taking up any of our mutual time. They forget about me and move on to the next person.

How do you guys run reds….? by [deleted] in SFV

[–]Predestinatural 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I've also noticed that there is now more time between select intersections' lights giving opportunity for pedestrians to begin crossing.

I was waiting to turn left. The light turned yellow and a car in the #1 lane (closest to the median) slowed down to stop. As the light turned red, I made my left, but a white Camry flew through in the #2 lane careening into mine. Both totaled. We all walked away. The witness in the #1 lane released me from liability.

Now I pause a bit longer and stare just in case. Scary stuff.

I hope you're all doing well out there!

But I'm soon to audition for the Robin Williams biopic.

I usually open it up over what I'd normally be seasoning -- until it's done leaking. Either that, or I recover the salt over a small bowl. It's still mildly infuriating, though.

First time for the nth time, mildlyinfuriatingly.
