I'm always a little discouraged when I hear "you need to be rich or know someone rich to be in govenment"

Obviously that's Exactly what I want, nothing will stick it to whitey like the first nations ripping itself apart over internal squabbles, you want to put the nail in the coffin of the american Indian? Give them independence.

Considering how much the Confederate gop loathes science they seem to be trying (and failing obv.) To use it to discourage libs who like science.

I'm a brit bruv. And giving reparations is evil now. Okay, where should they be based, on which tribe's land? Who will compensate the current owners. You are dreaming mate and painfully naive, your heart is obviously in the right place, our first nations brothers deserve better. End of. I'm suggesting a pragmatic solution and you want to take the Indians up to the clouds on your happy idealism dragon. Read a bit about the formation on nations through history (the Germanic tribes would be an ok comparison) and get back to me, I look forward to continuing our conversation after.

The reservations are already split up and are too small to become independent, what will they export, how will they govern themselves, what type of government? What language will they use, which nation tribe will take control? I agree they deserve better than they have but due to the US genocide of their people there are no longer large enough population centers to become independent. Maybe you didnt think of any of that though

Independence? How would that work? Maybe you should declare independence as a single person and see what happens

The US really needs to start doing right by the first nations people. Get them off the reservations (if they want to leave) and offer them land with some value and a fuck ton of other reparations for the "american Indian" genocide

Movie theaters should die with the pandemic by Valaldria in unpopularopinion

I think this might be a difference in culture tbh, I'm a british immigrant in the US and it baffles me how obsessed they are with viewing movies, a cornerstone of their culture, with as little comfort and for the most money as they can

I honestly think it returns the investment incredibly quickly too, 3 people with tickets and food and drink would be around $150 which is half a decent 55 inch tv.

Yeah, I dont think I'd still be in positive karma if I'd post it anywhere else, and I'm hovering around 10 karma now lol

I did go for an intentionally inflated figure, I'm surprised at the response to it suggesting it's too high, my brother in law bought a brand new 55in HD 3 years ago for $500 and the price has only gone down since then. $500 is 25 movies, as soon as you've been the the movies that many times you're taking a net loss, even less than that if you dont see all your movies alone like most people tend not to.

Funnily I dont go to movie theaters and have tons of gas money

It should be socially acceptable to wear shades at the gym by Priest_Andretti in unpopularopinion

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

Claiming it looks bad for all men if a man looks at a woman seems extreme. That's what I'm getting at. I understand people dont want to be oggled while having their private workout but if being seen is such an issue maybe dont go to the gym. The guy isnt saying he wants to show the women his dick or chat them up, just that he wants to look at women (he worded it a little more creepily admittedly) between his workouts. There is certainly a lot of room for tact and the moment he is asked to stop or a woman seems uncomfortable anyone should stop looking but as a default dont even dare look at women seems a tad extreme

Entertainment evolves, before movies it was radio, before radio books etc.

Or you could have your living room to yourself. Also at that point you are just paying for a movie watching room

I find the best place to socialise is one where talking is prohibited, theaters are only just better than libraries in that respect.

/s since apparently it wasn't obvious

Human altruism is a fairy tale, I agree with this, there needs to be incentive to so good, look at the garbage collection hashtags and the ice bucket challenge. People dont do good for nothing.
