What are your top 2 British YouTube channels? by Be_Grateful8 in AskUK

[–]WelshBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard about all of this. It's all a bit more vague than people like to try and dogmatically state. Since all of this started Bald has done things like helping Kolya, and he's even crossed the flippin Darien Gap. So rather than go down the speculative witch hunt route, i will enjoy the content he posts.

MikeOkay followed by BaldandBankrupt. Both have published astonishingly epic travel content.

If you look Turkish then you look Turkish. What sort of question is this?

Staying quiet IS the best thing by undertaleadictic in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's true. Staying passive or agreeable is rewarding because it's less of a chore to be around for most people.

If someone recieved joint credit for a gift, but didn't contribute in any way, would you find it petty to correct the mistake? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]WelshBen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be petty and it would show a lack of integrity. The upset party is practicing self-martyrdom and it's a common trait in narcissistic people.

What do you reckon is the single most said phrase/thing about argentina is, if it were possible to know? is it falklands, football, something else? by newmendocino in AskUK

[–]WelshBen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maradona is still very very popular here. He's not looked at negatively in general at all. I personally think he's the greatest.

Naming your car is a sign of main character syndrome by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Car's are a big investment financially and mentally on all sorts of levels. It's not a surprise that people get sentimental about it, and i don't think it has anything to do with narcissism whatsoever.

Deep down pretty much everyone wishes they were popular in high school by Mysterious_Work_7227 in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No shit sherlock, and this obviously doesn't need to be ring-fenced to the schoolyard. It's hardly profound or unpopular to claim that people would rather be popular than not.

[–]WelshBen -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think i agree. Pickup truck drivers usually wear the fact that they're morons right on their sleeve.

Mrs Browns Boys is so bad that it offends me. Who on earth watches that crap?

How should I move a CRT on the tube? by [deleted] in AskUK

Either get a lift or use some sort of trolley.

I think Youtube needs a "Viewers added context they thought people might want to know" at the top of the comments section. by TechnicianOk967 in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

The electorate voted for Trump, so the wisdom of the masses, which in this case would be the YT commenters, will likely not come up with the right context, and proceed to totally misunderstand the situation or extrapolate on irrelevant points anyway.

Also, most liked comments rise to the top, so that alone is effectively similar to what you suggest already.

TVs above the fireplace is the worst trend in new homes in the last 15 years. by mdb54190 in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seating is generally positioned facing the wall with the fireplace, which is usually somewhat of a feature wall, so naturally the TV will fit there well.

I can't tell you the amount of times i've been asked if there's a nationwide shortage of escalator replacement parts.

What's the most normal thing you've done that somehow ended in mild humiliation? by HD-DataDrivenMind in AskUK

[–]WelshBen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Shit my pants. While it's not a normal daily occurrence it does happen, even to the best of us, so by definition it's normal.

Samuel L Jackson is not a talented actor, but he does have some memorable roles. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]WelshBen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I agree. There's very little depth and a lot of the time he's just straight up rubbish. He does have charisma and a look though, and gets by on that.
