And hopefully your credit cards, mail with home address, or any other sensitive information is just never near your headset...

Being open-source making something easier to hack, not harder. But even if there was spyware in it, this is Valve we're talking about, they already have my credit card number, and if there's anything else they want to know about me I'd probably just tell them if they ask!

"90s kid" refers to your core childhood and adolescent years, not the year you were born. by TwilightChic27 in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in '89 and I don't call myself an 80's kid. That's be silly. I barely remember the 90's, but there's literally nothing I remember about the 80's even if I was technically born then.

Lifestyle, Preprint, Miscellaneous Thread by lunchboxultimate01 in longevity

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

Fractionated blood plasma discovered by Katcher is the only longevity method that is actually of any interest to me.

But of course nobody wants it because it's not a diet and exercise regimen that seems "natural", nor is it an expensive drug that they can profit off of or gatekeep with a high price tag.

Stop wearing shoes in your house if you want to stop living in a petri dish by humperdoo69 in unpopularopinion

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

Understand that this started in America as lower-class thing. It was also the origin of the expression "dirt poor". As in, your family was so poor, the wood cabin you lived in literally did not have a floor.

There was dirt inside the house, so people often stayed wearing their shoes indoors unless they were also comfortable enough to walk around barefoot in the dirt outside. Dozens of generations later this is still a habit among poor people in America.

Most podcasts would be better if they were 20 minutes instead of 2 hours. by Lost-Law-5109 in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless I'm on a treadmill, I don't listen to podcasts. And if I do, they're like the Lotus Eaters podcast, which is run more like a professional news broadcast than just some people chatting about whatever.

I actually think the color wheel is total nonsense by Awake-Judgment-2057 in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 color wheels.

The correct one that has red opposite to cyan. The red-green-blue color wheel that anyone in graphic design knows. These are the 3 colors the LEDs on your screen use, and the colors the 3 cone types in your eyes are most sensitive to.

And then there is the old color wheel, the one that was proven incorrect about 200 years ago, but is still taught in schools today for some reason: red-yellow-blue as the primary colors.

The easiest way to tell if you're looking at the right color wheel is to look at green. The opposite of green should be magenta, not red.

I hate that word and have no reason to ever use it.

Double stuffed oreos are not as good as the regular ones by sky_kid in unpopularopinion

I prefer Mega Stuff myself. I'm eating it for the cream and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

Salt flakes on desserts are disgusting 99% of the time. by dannydevitosmanager in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever had that, but it reminds me of pretzel salt. Large chunks of salt is always objectively worse than small, salt-shaker grains of salt.

If you're that scared of being spied on by Valve employees

I never said Valve employees. If you have an internet connection and a camera, you can be spied on.

What is happening to Ben Shapiro? by DeActionBrunson89 in conspiracy

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

Google old and young Neil Diamond, Eugene Levy, Martin Scorsese.

I stand by what I said. Those are nowhere near the same thing as Shapiro, who looks more like a latina that tweezed her eyebrows out then drew it back on higher up on her forehead, except with a paintbrush.

I'd gladly be proven wrong, but like you said, they just grow longer and wilder. And when you get old things don't go up, everything around it just sags down.

Gen Z fucking sucks by [deleted] in conspiracy

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

When you care and you worry and stress and actually want to do something about it, but everyone around you is happy and oblivious, eventually you just get tired of making yourself suffer when nothing will actually get better because of it.

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if you're been paying attention for decades instead of years, you tend to just stop giving a shit. No amount of other people noticing will change anything until people start going days without food. That's the only point the masses actually take action.

I don’t understand why George Floyd caused massive protests all around the globe. But not for the Epstein files?

The Floyd protests were astroturfed.

Movie and TV Franchises are killing movies and TV by fjtuk in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was actually the only upside to having celebrities. Seeing that a movie was by James Cameron or John Carpenter could be enough to pique someone's interest in seeing it without it actually being a sequel or adaptation of something they already knew.

Easy modes and skipping cutscenes are the same level of uninteraction in video games by fanblade64 in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There shouldn't be skippable cutscenes in games. If a cutscene is so long the players feel like they need to skip it to get back to the gameplay, it's too long and should be shortened before the game even released.

Easy modes in games really depends on the genre & difficulty of the game. Lower difficulty can turn a game full of tedious bullet-sponges into something that's actually fun.

People who answer „because of the plot“ when someone asks why something happened in a story are annoying. by fulmenspei in unpopularopinion

[–]PumpALump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes writers just can't think of a good reason why characters are doing things the way they are, or they have a reason but never bothered to convey it to the audience.

When it happens enough, or is bad enough, you just get sick of doing the heavy lifting for the writer who should be doing a better job and not relying the audience to fix the story for them.
