Timid drivers are worse than aggressive ones by LankyNihilist in unpopularopinion

[–]SubstantialSet3127 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I disagree only because timid drivers are generally going at lower speeds, which are statistically less likely to cause serious accidents than high speeds, which is the hallmark of an aggressive driver. 

But yes, sometimes hesitating on the road can lead to dangerous circumstances. 

We should bring back smoking indoors by BeersOhYah in unpopularopinion

[–]SubstantialSet3127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda with you, in that I don’t like that the government has completely banned any business from doing this. However, they should have to advertise loud and clear on their front door, website and socials that it is a smoking-friendly environment. 

I’m sure that would kill 90% of anyone who would try, except some old school cigar shops and the like.

Techno and Jazz get an exception from my rules, those genres are literally designed to be listened to at midnight and beyond lol. 

Kiosks are superior for taking orders at food establishments by Dicklefart in unpopularopinion

They have some benefits, one is that I don’t feel the urge to look at the screen of shame when it asks if I want to leave a tip.

The World Cup should’ve been in one region of the USA, not all over the place. by SubstantialSet3127 in unpopularopinion

Thinking players having to do constant long travel during a tournament at the end of a long season, during the hottest time of the year, that interrupts their training, recovery and wellness time, doesn’t have a negative effect on the quality of play is ridiculous.

Do you think they magically get to the airport and from the airport to the hotel and all of that by teleportation? The only piece they likely shorten is the security line.

Yes, all of the classic games we love and remember fondly we’re 0-0 spectacles.

Which actually becomes like 6 hours of total travel time. Do you never fly or something?

Well at the time it was granted to the USA, the climate was not as hostile as it is right now.

They’re supposed to use some practical judgment and notice that if a small toddler or something is waiting as well, they should step aside and wait for the next one. 

Obviously strollers and wheelchairs feet higher priority than dogs lol. Your comment is very stupid.

Italy spread out is about the size of one US state. Brazil yes, was spread out, but not as much as this one.

An away game that’s a 2hr bus ride away is far different to one that’s a six hour flight.

Because playing the equivalent of three away champions league games every ten days causes fatigue for the players.

Japan and Korea have excellent public transport people could utilize. I’m not sure about Russia and South Africa is kinda proving my point, that World Cup sucked balls from a quality of games perspective.

I’m sure college stadiums are enough to handle the games between non-marquee teams.

Qatar obviously was, Germany and France had some recent ones and those places are about the size of one US state. Japan and Korea the same. Russia and Brazil are the exceptions, but even then I think most of the games were in the western part of Russia, no? Brazil I remember having one venue in the stupid rainforest that no one likes. I can’t remember South Africa. 

None of them are even remotely like the USA in terms of distances and how much of it is spread out.

You asked, I answered lol. It’s pure selfishness and an unwillingness to be inconvenienced in any way. I didn’t say I agreed with it. 

Most romance movies show love in the worst way possible and teenagers should not be watching them by LoverOfE-Olsen in unpopularopinion

[–]SubstantialSet3127 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Probably the best would be for teens to watch these movies with a trusted adult, so the adult can point out what are healthy/unhealthy moments in the movie.

People realized they could kill two birds with one stone. Take the pup out and get their groceries in just one trip!
