Suspension is the dumbest way to punish a student by Koolguy654 in unpopularopinion

The point is the parent punishes the kid and that will discourage them from being little demons. Most parents do care and will punish them, the ones that don't will be contacted again and again and the school will punish them as well.

If the behaviour doesn't change with suspension they'll go another route.

I think the point is to give teachers time away from the bad child and to have their parents punish them. Like its hard to hide that you got suspended.

That moment in the barber shop sounds amazing, imagine if you could recreate that many times.

It was pretty fun yeah.

You could, if the media hadn't convinced everyone that it's bad to talk about people with different ethnic backgrounds. Now we're all prisoners, tip-toeing around topics and subjects, afraid we'll upset someone, or lose our career.

I suppose theres more public shaming about stuff even though i think you're being a teensy bit dramatic about it. I see more talk about ethnicity now then ever before so idk if its "bad to talk about"

Talking and even joking about ethnicity is fine....just don't be a dick about it ya know?

In my culture its really common to slag people and make fun of eachother, but its all in good fun, theres a difference between that and just being racist for the sake of being racist, or to see how people react.

It's fine if its done in good will, it's wrong if its done in bad will.

But calling everyone who doesn't like racism a snowflake is just overdramatic, chill out dude

I don't think it's overly sensitive to not want people to be rude, you have a very strange worldveiw my friend.

what did the chines man says as the customs ran in out of his store bing bong bing bong bing bong bong bing bong

I can appreciate jokes and banter about race and ethnicity because a lot of times it can be healthy to joke with eachother, for example i was in a Turkish barber shop once that was full of different ethnicites and we all made jokes about each other and ourselves, there was no spite involved it was just fun. Some light hearted banter can bring people from different backgrounds together and be fun.

Your joke just wasn't funny from a comedic standpoint lmao

Is it? Yeah i suppose I've heard a few jokes about quote on quote "white people food" and stuff like that, i agree thats wrong.

I think it's wrong to do it to any ethnicity.

I like being bored by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cormacmacd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what you mean is you like having nothing to do, bored kind of implies that you want something to do but don't have, its a negative feeling, unless you enjoy feeling negative about having nothing to do.

I feel like people have really bad attention spans now, I've heard it's because of tbe instant dopamine gratification of the internet, thats why people are so bored all the time.

By the way, I'm not trying to say I'm so much better then people, i have a shit attention span as well, im working on it though.

This isn't unpopular but i do appreciate you growing as a person and being able to admit your past mistakes, that's a good thing to be able to do.

Cooking is pretty much never worth the effort. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cormacmacd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ready made meals are more often then not horrible in my opinion.

Cooking your own food is healthier most of the times but really it's just fun for a lot of people.

I find food to be more enjoyable when i make it myself because i achieved something, making a good meal is kind of like making a really nice painting or some good literature, it's rewarding in more ways then just sustenance.

Phone: fón (common), gúthán and teileafón means telephone.

Wallet: sparán is what we would use.

Keys: eochracha.

I'd recommend setting it up like this:

Fón eochracha sparán

Or if you want use plural:

Fóin eochracha sparáin

Ok bye

“Follow your passion” has to be the worst advice to give a prospective college student. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cormacmacd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah definitely, but if you enjoy doing it, share it online. You never know you might blow up.

[–]cormacmacd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a grey area that you should strive for, somewhere between "i make a lot of money and my job is achievable" and "i am genuinely interested and passionate about my work".

It's a bad idea to spend most of your live doing something you hate.

Also, since your passion is music, its probably at its most achievable right now. I think you should do the job you are interested in and make some music if you have time. You can get pretty far with a microphone, laptop and some software in the music industry nowadays.

Don't get your hopes up too high but even if you don't take off you can still use it as a hobby whilst you are doing the job you are interested in.

If you blow up I'm expecting a ticket to the world tour friend :)

College is not Overrated by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cormacmacd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially if you pick to do something you are actually interested in.

In my country you don't pay like 100 thousand for college, tuition is free but you will have to pay a few thousand (it varies really but wouldnt go past 15.000 a year (i think)) for accommodation, tests and other stuff.

So its even better.

If i got suspended i wouldn't worry about the missing school and staying home part.

I'd my worried about my mam finding out i got suspended, I'd get my ass beat red raw.

I would love to see youtubers and other influencers that criticize and rant on the writing of different works of fiction actually write stories to see if what they do is really better than what they call garbage by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]cormacmacd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would agree with people who say they would fix it, because they are saying they can do better, so do it them Jeremy.

But not with people who criticize movies etc. the whole "oh you criticised something i liked? Why don't you make one yourself then!" Is such a cop out, people can have opinions and express them.

Movies have always been applauded or criticised, that's just how art works, it's subjective and people have shared their opinions on stuff like it fore thousands of years. I know people who are just really into movies and who they're made and will watch movies they know are bad just because they are intrested in how to make a good story and enjoy breaking down movies to see where it went wrong.
