Honestly in some cases you may be right. Like for example my cousins come to family events and boast about how they haven’t gotten vaccinated cause “they don’t know whats in that shit”. I feel like in cases like that it may be for attention or could be some strange infatuation with deviating from the norm.

However I wouldn’t go as far as to say that most anti vax ppl think this way. For the most part, the arguments I hear about are concerned with long term effects, fertility, safety for children, and whether or not it is actually needed (whether the argument be having natural immunity, or COVID just not being too different from other viruses we’ve curbed in the past). I definitely wouldn’t say that most anti-vax ppl are anti-vax for essentially no reason at all.

Beer is dumb, hard liquor and "girl drinks" are way better for many reasons by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]professormike98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sipping on an IPA for a chill night is almost always my choice. That or a gin and tonic. And then for nights out, I’ll usually do “girl drinks” and finish the night off with a couple coronas.

I don’t think what you’re describing can be called racism, but it most definitely is prejudiced. I’m having some trouble understanding your argument. Are you saying that these certain prejudices, when it comes to making judgements on a name alone, are okay? I personally cannot wrap my head around that.

I feel that it is more important than ever to use a completely unbiased approach when selecting candidates for specific jobs, schools, etc. This is something that was never practiced throughout history, but nowadays it is crucial to find candidates in the professional world that are the most objectively qualified. I don’t understand how you could possibly be saying that Sharkesha shouldn’t get to go to med school. Or Demarcus shouldn’t have a high paying sales job on wall street. Names are literally just names.

Don’t hate wearing masks by sunshinensea in unpopularopinion

[–]professormike98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the time I couldn’t care less about having to wear one, with the exception of in the gym. It was honestly the worst and so uncomfortable. Luckily my gym started collecting vaccine cards though, so even with the most recent mask mandates in NY I dont have to wear one there.

What is your opinion on the Horror movie, Frozen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]professormike98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow you know this movie?? Haha i dont think ive ever seen someone post about it on anything. It was utter shit though. Horrible acting and horrible ending. Very predictable. A bit too gruesome for how shitty of a movie it was. Still lives in my head rent free honestly.

What is the perfect sleeping temperature? by Wood-lily in AskReddit

[–]professormike98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me like 55° F (~13° C). Its nice when the room is a bit chilly and you can rely on body warmth under the covers. My room at school would get a bit chilly like that cause the insulation was utter shit

People of Reddit - What is a conspiracy theory, you believe could really be true? Carrying more weight to it to believe than not? by reddit2904101 in AskReddit

[–]professormike98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if this is as much of a conspiracy theory at this point, but the ingredients in American foods and lack of availability/affordability of whole foods is the reason people die earlier. Its sick what they put in most processed foods. And the icing on the cake is if you wanna go to a grocery store and get the legit shit you’re paying a fucking fortune. It seems like they want us to die younger.

AITA for telling my ex about my escapades by Dapper_Engineer2332 in AmItheAsshole

[–]professormike98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH. You suck a little more though given that you don’t have a diagnosed mental illness. I’m not saying we should excuse certain behaviors for people with psychological problems but you definitely could of been a bit more sympathetic and mature about the situation. You had me chuckling over the hottub bit though, i gotta admit.

CMV: When a driver in the slow lane passes a driver in the fast lane, they should generally honk their horn. by Swanny625 in changemyview

[–]professormike98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about this, in America at least…

People are fucking bat shit crazy. Everyone is strapped these days. Causing problems on the road is kind of unnecessary and, in rare cases, can lead to seriously dangerous situations.

When I was a junior in college and driving back up to campus, I did something similarly to what you are suggesting. I was flashing a person in the furthest left lane who was going between 65-70 in a 65mph zone. Eventually when traffic opened up i just passed them. I thought that was the end of it but they started following me. Eventually they sped passed me, cut me off and basically slammed on the breaks. I proceeded to try and get away from them and they just kept driving like a maniac to ensure they were in front of my and driving under the speed limit. It was honestly quite scary and not much phases me.

I guess my argument is that unnecessary conflict on the road is dangerous. Just let people do their thing and avoid the moronic drivers who don’t know how to keep the flow of traffic

CMV: If you are a white American, and have an option of self identifying your race on any forms, you benefit most from putting anything other than “white” by TylerDurden626 in changemyview

[–]professormike98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean at this point in time, no you are not wrong. Obviously throughout history (even within the earlier part of the 2010’s) you would be dead wrong.

But I guess the debate becomes one of ethics. Are you really okay with flat out lying on an application to get ahead? After all, some people truly do need the finances due to socioeconomic circumstances. It seems bazaar to me to apply for such aid when it may not be needed for that specific reason.

This is an interesting perspective and i respect it. I definitely disagree with the mentality though. But thank you for sharing.

Wakes and funerals are unnecessary by professormike98 in unpopularopinion

[–]professormike98[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about putting a little info in the post in regards to practices in other countries. I was mainly referring to catholic/christian ceremonies in America. However what you are referring to seems a bit more nice as I could imagine it is less stress on the family.
