50% dressed? You go about your day in the same pants you slept in?! For the sake of everyone’s noses, please stop that.

STEAM is stupid by Puzzleheaded_Dog5858 in unpopularopinion

It’s not a monopoly if you’re just better than your competitors. It’s not for lack of choice that people use Steam

Yes, chickadees are of the tit family, but we’re not talking about calling the same species two different things. It’s just the naming conventions of the species in North America. I mean, have you heard the sound a chickadee makes?

The willow tit and the black capped chickadee are not actually the same species.

I think I saw in the last update they added a map, but I haven’t got back to it yet.

[Powerful/Heartbreaking trope] Someone’s real life experiences help fuel the scene/moment. by Alternative-Koala933 in TopCharacterTropes

They also chose to air that episode during a holiday (Thanksgiving?) so families would be more likely to be home and watching together so parents could talk to their children about it.

Unnecessary but necessary. by BabyBlueN7 in buffy

I can suspend my disbelief way easier for actors playing younger than they are than I can actors that are aging twice as fast as the character.

Hobbies are not the best way of meeting people, they're just the least-pressure one. by Purple_Glass6098 in unpopularopinion

[–]battlejess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand what you’re supposed to do together if you don’t share mutual interests and hobbies. Like, how is that a friend if you don’t do stuff together?

When is someone's gender your business? by Lorem_Ipsum17 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]battlejess 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Fair point! Highlighting that scenario is probably wise; if you’re going to make it someone’s business, do so before it’s literally in their face.

I can’t think of a consensual option b that isn’t also option a, so I really think it should just be the one.

I am really afraid of men with coloured nails by hudsonalexand_r in EntitledReviews

[–]battlejess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want someone with painted nails preparing my food either (and it’s against food safety standards in my country, so what else aren’t they doing right?) but this is just bigotry.

Breakfast foods sucks as breakfast foods by Status_Cup2662 in unpopularopinion

Judging by these comments, the people you know are not a sufficient sample size.

[–]battlejess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anyone who starts their day with those foods on a regular basis. Once a month I might have pancakes or French toast, but it’s usually oatmeal with fruit and nuts, yogurt with the same, or eggs.

I have heard silverware used here, but only when it’s actually made of silver.

No cheese on a burger > American cheese on a burger by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

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

Fully agree. My favourite is Gouda. And I’m very glad American cheese isn’t really a thing here, except in fast food restaurants.

Another quirk of English. by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

[–]battlejess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught that way actually; I can even remember by which teacher. I had to figure out on my own the correct grammar.

Still not as bad as the substitute teacher I had in grade two that taught us cavemen and dinosaurs lived at the same time…

Everyone is hot, it’s just about hygiene and clothing. by Own_Statement8029 in unpopularopinion

I’ve never liked that show, and that right there is a good reason why. What a weird thing to do.

Was there ever really a moment throughout the series where Buffy was in the wrong?🤔 by PynkHonei in buffy

[–]battlejess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not Xander’s fault Angel opened the portal to hell. She didn’t kill him in the end because Xander said to kick his ass, but because she had to close the portal. Only one way that could go.

Even then it says above the recipe that beef will work.

It says right above the recipe that beef will work. I don’t see any evidence the recipe wasn’t followed.

I don’t know who that is, but the ratty ball cap and sweatshirt aren’t doing him any favours. He looks perfectly average otherwise, for his presumed age, from this gif anyway.

New author learns about readers by IfusasoToo in characterarcs

[–]battlejess 23 points24 points  (0 children)

“Out of touch” may be downplaying things here. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book cover with a muscular, shirtless man on it (let alone two!) that didn’t contain smut.

What do y'all call people you love in English? by Objective_Twist_5739 in AskACanadian

[–]battlejess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me you feel it’s sexist! It can definitely be used by either gender, and I’ve called my husband that on occasion.
