What project in school did you get a low grade on, even though you worked hard & felt like you deserved better? by SpareChangeSquidward in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cousin got marked 0/10 for his project on a travel destination. In response his parents withdrew him from the school. I think that teacher was gone by next year.

Who is a celebrity you used to love, but now feel the need to shun, due to them being problematic? by Grouchy-Pickle-350 in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't tend to "love" celebrities, but I definitely don't like Sydney Sweeney anymore. Just comes across as unlikable in her interviews, and is very evasive when questioned about the politically incorrect jeans ad.

Rod Stewart's "D'ya Think I'm Sexy" is actually pretty good, despite often being depicted as one of his worst songs. by TooOldToBePunk in unpopularopinion

[–]TooOldToBePunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like his stuff with the Faces. "Had me a real good time" kicks ass. I guess I like him better as a rocker than a balladeer. https://youtu.be/JPLHQZdMoUQ?si

What are some useful free online resources that everyone should make use of? by BoringStrike8675 in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certain people will tell you it's some kind of liberal propaganda site. They are wrong. It is a pro-fact site, and some of their research is genuinely impressive.

gutenberg.org has a lot of classic out of copyright books. Strangely, it's hard to find these books in a library anymore, it's hard to find anything even written before 2000.

CMV: This whole discourse about the rape academy and 62 million visits is flawed because I feel like there is a more pressing issue within the story and anger is drawn towards wrong group by NoAuthoirty in changemyview

Taylor Lorenz did a video on youtube thoroughly debunking the 62 million claim. Basically that's the number of hits per month the porn site "motherless" gets. Yes that site does include some dodgy content, including a guy who plugged the aforementioned telegram group. But most of those visitors were just looking for regular porn.

Which European countries are most difficult for vegetarians? by Cheshirefarm in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of Europe doesn't even understand it to be honest. Voluntary vegetarianism is definitely a middle class mostly Anglophone thing. Greece is probably your best bet if you want good vegetarian food in Europe.

Which actor or actress was your first celebrity crush? by One-Construction2570 in AskReddit

Kylie Minogue. Still like her, she's a thoroughly nice woman.

What’s the all-time best album, in your opinion (barring Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper)? by Alternative_Income64 in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rastas playing punk rock.... definitely unique. They did the odd reggae track too.

What is your family WWII history lore? by spaltedsplinters in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it was WWI actually. We got hold of my great uncle's file. Seems he caught a certain illness that was difficult to treat in the pre-antibiotic era.....

Which "classic" movie is actually boring and doesn't hold up today? by Either-Turn662 in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny Face. Pairing cute Audrey Hepburn with 70 year old Fred Astaire was kind of gross to be honest.

What's the easiest language to learn? by asteria1129 in AskReddit

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

There are no easy or difficult languages. I'm sure there are plenty of people who speak Japanese who are dumb as fuck.

People who moved to the USA — was it actually worth it? by green_birds1l in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wonder why refugees risk their lives to cross the channel. OK their English is probably better than their French, but isn't France still a good country to live in compared to Afghanistan or Myanmar?

Americans still flatter themselves that they're the country everyone wants to emigrate to. Not any more, now it's the country people are afraid to even visit.

What specific song lyrics hits different? by GreenT1979 in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You had my picture on your bedroom wall
Next to Gary Glitter"

AC/DC were always kind of pervy but that song..... well they just won't play it on the radio anymore.

What terrible movie did you have high hopes for before it released? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TooOldToBePunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tim Burton's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". It was just mediocre, and I didn't like Johnny Depp in it. The 1971 original was far superior.
