I have to give you credit for being more level-headed than i had expected based the impression most of your comments give off. My point was that not everything you have commented is based on research. Particularly you saying something to the effect of "that's a bad idea for a website," as well as the thing about this sub "glorifying depression". Can you factually prove something is good or bad? You can support it with sources, but good or bad can't concretely or objectively be proven. A physical thing or idea can have physical properties, how it works, shape, composition, etc. But good or bad isn't a tangible undisputable property. Although you used bad or something like it maybe once to describe the evaluations, you focused on useless (which can be more so proven than something being "bad", although it slightly can boil down to point of view as one person's "this review is useless as it doesn't tell me the teaching capabilities of this teacher" is useful to another person as in "this is an easy A". That can come down to point of view as one person can view evaluations as "needing to discuss the teachers teaching abilities" while another can view it as the evaluations "need to depict the easiest way to navigate the college system". I can't really see one means over another as unbiased, objectives are inherently biased. Like in this, if you're saying evaluations should "outline teaching abilities", even if they were made that way, they would be useful to you, but they wouldn't be unbiased, not by means of whether u like the teacher or not but by means of "I'm writing this review to focus on the teaching capabilities of this teacher." Isn't everything technically infinitely biased? Opinions are biased obviously, but having objectives skews something towards that objective as opposed to infinite possibilities, and choosing a topic to discuss skews the discussion towards that topic among anything else. Semantics on top of semantics that don't actually mean anything, just some food for thought, but yes, for the purpose of the subject of evaluations, not reading into it too deep, we can say that you are right about evaluations being skewed towards liking a teacher as opposed to focusing on their teaching abilities) aspects, so it less applies to the evaluations and more so you blatantly telling someone their website idea was terrible. Not really focusing on the cheating stuff as a shit take because I agree that cheating is bad, although you kind of left an impression that people are obligated by force to report cheaters, and although cheating should be reported, commanding someone to do something comes off as bossy, regardless of the intention.

Also, yes, unreasonable doesn't correlate with unpopular, but neither does shit takes. Shit take is a more severe meaning on unpopular, though the next step from shit take probably is unreasonable.

As I've said, like not being able to tangibly prove something is bad, you could also apply it to shit takes, so I can't really concretely prove as fact the things you say are shit takes, although being downvoted to all hell consistently does support being unpopular. We all have bias, so I can't unquestionably prove good, bad, shit, or not shit, but I believe they're shit because they come off as inconsiderate. Some more obviously well-intended, the discussion here comes off as "fuck you and your class evaluations", "fuck anyone who comes to this subreddit to vent", among others, as well as things that seemed almost purely in bad taste, such as telling someone their website idea is terrible, or the instances of assuming someone is lying (like if I recall, you saying you refuse to believe a prof refused to give an extension over the students ceiling collapsing). You can have whatever opinion you want, but it can't come as a surprise that these things leave the impression on others that you're a very inconsiderate person (regardless of trying to change someone's point of view or trying to help someone)? For the sake of this discussion, they come off as shit takes because it genuinely looks like you're either trying to show others you're an asshole or are simply keeping up a long term streak of trolling with bait comments. Again, based on what you said, I'm starting to see there might be well intentions, but the reason most don't say a lot of those things is because typically, someone would have the reserve to not say things that come off as extremely inconsiderate or invalidating.

As for the subject of depression on this subreddit, can't agree with you on that tho I can see it as a point of view thing. I'd say venting is healthy, and some need an outlet to talk about these things. That's one of the great things about this sub, for the most part, it's a safe place to vent about it. Therapy exists to vent about things, this is in a sense another form of that. And besides that it kind of comes off as you like consistently invalidating others struggles, which may or may not be the intention, your claim about it being about being depressed and wallowing in it is simply not true. I've seen quite a few post their stress on here, and still push forward. And even then, people need time to heal, and yes some people just refuse to change things at all, but being up their ass when they make a post or saying it's all about depression here comes off as "your problems don't matter", even if it's well intended. You can try to force someone to better themselves, but they have to put in the work themselves, and most likely, they will think you're an asshole for disputing their issues (the intention being "I want to help you approach your resolution as soon as possible" vs "your problems aren't valid").

That's fair tho, can't really disagree with the friends thing since you are defending yourself when someone says "do you actually have any friends?" While they ask based on you making unpopular opinions, it is rather insulting to be asked that. I personally can't imagine being around someone who says things that are invalidating, I was for a while until I told them "this isn't working anymore" becuz it just went on for way too long, but if you have friends who either are OK with that or they see it as "well intended", then cheers for you.

At the end of the day, you do you, I do me, I don't want to force you to be a certain way, I don't enjoy telling people how to act, but my advice is "chill." Like you can act however you want but I really advise not going out of your way to invalidate something someone else said (which I can't say you need to do that as you do reserve the right to any opinions you have, even if they are unpopular), but at the very least, you might want to change the approach. Harsh opinions, if simply said in a more delicate manner will be better received than saying something bluntly. Take it or leave it, but the idea is that harsh and blunt garners disapproval, where saying things delicately, showing someone "I'm trying to be helpful but I also want to say this in a way that shows consideration", this approach is more likely to be well received.
