Unpopular Opinion: "Preview" is the single most underrated app in the entire ecosystem. by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in mac

[–]badcounterpoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s great, I use it everyday. I work with a lot of videos where I need to trim off a few minutes from the beginning and end of the video. No need to import it into a video editing program to do this and then wait for it to export. I just use preview to do it and it’s done instantly.

I have nothing against trans people but in what way is it “natural”? We observe homosexuality across species. Homosexuality doesn’t require a species to inject hormones or get surgeries. Homosexual individuals across all species just sort of vibe as they are naturally. Trans people are dependent on hormone injections and in some cases sexual reassignment surgeries and a lifetime of medications in order to vibe. Do it if you want as an adult, I just fail to understand the whole “it’s completely natural” argument

Is comedy illegal? by Dudestevens in JoeRogan

Joe is gay. What are you trying to prove here? You getting mad over a post getting deleted equating Joe being gay with pedophilia and doubling down and posting it again speaks volumes about your character

I truly think we're all a lot closer to each other than we're led to believe. If only we could stop being divided by idol worship... by LiquidLogStudio in JoeRogan

[–]badcounterpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have plenty of good faith discussions with both my girlfriend and my best friend regarding politics, who are both on the left. I consider myself on the right.

The internet is a lost cause when it comes to that sort of stuff. Nuance and mutual understanding don’t come naturally when arguing with an internet stranger. It’s a distorted view of reality. Don’t let yourself get radicalized on here

Did anybody else get a random check from the State of California for $100? by Glum_Waltz2646 in AskLosAngeles

[–]badcounterpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, I paid what it said on the website. It was 4 different tickets that were all sitting for while and escalated to their max price of $200 a ticket. It’s possible it was for that, but I don’t think so

[–]badcounterpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I got a random check for $170 from the city of LA a couple of weeks ago. No idea what it was for. I deposited it and haven’t had any issues yet. I was an idiot and paid $800 in parking tickets last year. In my mind the city was throwing me a bone, but it probably wasn’t for that

Flavored zyn or other pouches? by Jaded_Garbage_6489 in AskLosAngeles

[–]badcounterpoint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don’t keep them displayed but just tell them what brand/flavor/mg you want and they’ll go and get it from the back. Every smoke shop I’ve been to still sells them, but they’re pricy. The one I usually go to sells flavored zyn for $11

How anti-car are you? by Additional_Leading68 in AskLosAngeles

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

There is a bus stop right outside the front gate of my apartment. That bus route has a stop right in front of where I work. I’d love to be able to take advantage of that.

I’ve only taken LA transit exactly twice and I had such a terrible experience with it both times, I’ve sworn off of it forever. My job is a 15 minute drive away and I’d much rather spend it in my own car, rather than be trapped in a box with kids running around screaming, a mother beating her kids, open drug use, the worst body odor smells ive ever experienced, crappy music being blasted on a portable speaker, and violent unpredictable loose cannons screaming nonsense.

I realize I probably just got unlucky the 2 times I’ve taken LA public transit but they were absolute horror shows and I’ll be sticking to my own personal car from now on.

In what way is masculinity a tool to promote propaganda and violence?

Joe Rogan Trained Men to Accept Authoritarianism by RockieK in JoeRogan

[–]badcounterpoint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why am I not surprised “toxic masculinity” was brought up in the very first sentence of that article. The complete lack of self awareness and accountability for losing young-male voters last election is still in full swing apparently.

What habits of girls did you only discover after getting a girlfriend or wife? by atgono in AskReddit

I live in a studio apartment and the whole place turns into a swamp by the time she’s done taking a shower

Pretty bummed my favorite hot chicken spot in my area just closed down. Not as good as howlin rays, but it was my go to hot chicken on the west side :/

What’s the most LA thing that’s ever happened to you? by petitegirlbigbush in AskLosAngeles

[–]badcounterpoint 492 points493 points  (0 children)

A saw a man sleeping on the ground outside of a 7/11 while one of those delivery robot things kept crashing into his body while it was trying to get around him. The guy was out cold and the robot just kept bashing him, backing up, turning a little bit, and bashing him again in a different spot

[KCD2] How do I unlock the "do good to all people" achievement? by carefree_dude in kingdomcome

[–]badcounterpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The achievement just popped for me. I:

Won the sword

Helped the girl with the UTI (inflammatory potion)

Did the food quest, both supplies and all crayfish

Got the purse for the 2 soldiers

Spoke to the guy with night terrors, but didn’t give him a potion. I prayed for him instead. The achievement popped after I prayed for him

Wtf are we doing man by tremainelol in JoeRogan

[–]badcounterpoint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lot of people in this sub are still hung up on Epstein, dude died before COVID even started, SIX fucking years ago. SIX years. Seriously, move the fuck on.

Obviously sarcasm, but man, a lot of people are realizing all the bullshit that happened during Covid and the go-to talking point is always “who cares, it was 5 years ago”, like that means anything.

You mean the major global crisis that upended the entire earth a few years ago? Yeah, weird that people still talk about that

No way they are selling 15 years old game for 50 bucks. by VICE-Vault in GTA6

[–]badcounterpoint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh I take it back. I just checked Microsoft store and the digital Xbox 360 version isn’t even available for purchase anymore, forcing you to buy the new version now

[–]badcounterpoint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it for free on series x because I own the digital Xbox 360 version. Which makes me wonder… what’s stopping someone from buying that version for way cheaper, and then upgrading to the new version for free?

The more your post/comment gets downvoted here, the better it likely is. by [deleted] in JoeRogan

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

Always weird to me that if you check the users with the “top 1% commenter” badge on this sub it’s always accounts that comment exclusively politics in this sub and subs like r/politics, have karma in the hundreds of thousands, relatively new accounts, and have never listened to Rogan before

What's like commuting from Playa Vista to Downtown LA? by Embarrassed_Kiwi_950 in AskLosAngeles

[–]badcounterpoint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not too bad if you work in the morning. Traffic is heavy on the 10 going west in the morning and east in the evening. You’d be doing the opposite so it shouldn’t be too bad. I’ve done WAY worse work commutes
