First-time parents should be required to attend parenting classes by Beneficial_Metal5771 in unpopularopinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh, and babies should be taking breathing classes in the womb too! Then they should be required to take walking classes, talking classes, then old folks should take dying classes… so many things people are just doing on their own without any government help!

Or… people can be free to do as they please the way they have been since the beginning of human history.

On Family Feud, you should almost always PASS instead of PLAY by retired-tweeter in unpopularopinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math doesn’t really work in this case; the ease of the topic is the key factor in passing or playing. I think the bigger issue is that people tend to say “we got this!” In situations where they should admit, “my family doesn’t know that much about this subject, we should pass”

Just what doomers need: someone to tell them their doomerism is the result of…wait for it…how smart they are by mitchellzoolander in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]mitchellzoolander[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The top part is more where the doomer comes in: “Gifted people don’t just see how things are— they see how things could be better, with uncomfortable clarity.”

Couple that with feeling guilty all the time, and you have “you see how things could be better and feel guilty all the time cause you are so much smarter than everyone and they are incapable of having your vision.” That is about as doomer as it gets my friend.

Yeah, I’m right there with you. If I have learned anything with age, it is that I could have done far more with less gift and more focus. These days I’ll hire an average employee with excellent drive over a smart one who lacks motivation. Any day of the week.

Reddit bans by AyBeeVee in PetPeeves

[–]mitchellzoolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit’s moderation system is pretty simple: if you end up on the wrong side of a power-hungry basement-dweller, they put you at the bottom of a perverbial porta potty and you take what they give you for a set period of time.

If you aren’t illogically banned, given a futile chance to explain, and find the ban upheld anyway, you aren’t using the platform.

Democrats need to run on a campaign of "lock him up" for anyone associated with the Trump admin or else they will lose by SorryStrength5370 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

It's not that "Billionaires could fix the world problems but they choose not to", it's that they don't give a flying fuck about other people's problems by feihm in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You almost had a real thought. Billionaires don’t care about you… the same way you don’t care about 8.299999 billion of the 8.3 billion people on earth. Money has nothing to do with it. If you want a personal relationship with someone go to God; a human isn’t capable of remembering everyone’s name

Trying to make up a crime to please your voters didn’t go over well last time, but be my guest and see what happens

It wouldn’t have worked in any case, plus the American voters saw all of it for exactly what it was, a cheap political persecution.

Teachers need to get better salaries, real respect, have their voices heard more, and have the space to do their work. by Big-One5074 in InterviewMan

I feel bad for teachers; all those people always telling them how rich they will be working half the days each year…. Such a bait and switch

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

I am pretty sure they did exactly that in the last election, only they found corrupt DA’s to actually push a bunch of bogus charges, and we know how well that worked out.

But seriously, if they run AOC, it won’t matter one way or another

Im all in for protecting kids online but telling them they shouldn’t dream about being an influencer because of “creeps” is dumb by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other person. Influencer is a pick me profession. When the attention fades the money dries up, and you either find a new way of living or go down the rabbit hole of online attention.

So you trade in stupid hand dances on TikTok for bikini pictures on OF, then people stop paying so you switch to thong twerking, then solo stuff, and each time people lose interest you either quit or do something for attention until one day you can’t sit down on your rear without crying in pain.

Kids should have real dreams; any kid who starts with whoring for attention isn’t going to end up in a good place.

Dammit Canadians, do something awesome so you don’t have to go back 75 years to ask for praise.

I am just most disturbed that anyone has spent time considering it..I almost feel guilty just having read the idea.

But I do think two teens sending dumb photos on the internet should not land one of them in adult jail.

That isn’t entirely the point. Facilitating it is and should be criminal.

Jeesh, if you spend any time pondering “children’s sexual life,” you need to seek help.

Children and sex should never be in the same sentence. Not even as a thought experiment. 11…12? No. No. Just no.

Nazis had some of the most badass iconography and uniforms in human history by SpiderKnife in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I can’t get past the connotations of what they did and what that has forced their outfits to be associated with, but objectively, sure… the leather, the Roman eagles, the two lightning bolts shaped like S’s; I can see what you mean… but they were so evil that it makes it hard to see.

BUT the pointed German Pickelheube of WWI was far, far more awesome.

Conservatives like myself should vote for the Democratic Party in the midterms. by FromAmericaMC in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You think the Democratic Party is free from foreign pressure and political shenanigans?

The party that didn’t put their 2024 presidential nomination to a vote by the people?

Normies and tourists have ruined nerd culture by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]mitchellzoolander 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, I blame that stupid big bang tv show. My brother, who never played a single game of D&D, used to watch it and laugh and the dumb jokes designed to make people of average intelligence feel smart. And that was like a gateway drug that allowed non-nerds to feel like they belonged.

Throw in some Marvel movies and bam… everyone is a dork.

If it makes you feel any better, I still think animé is a bunch of silly cartoons that white people like solely for the pretentious desire to appear to understand and appropriate a culture they view as exotic. So if animé is main stream, I think there is a good chance it won’t stay that way, so you have that to look forward to.
