No the hell it isn't lmao. I would know. I've lived in many hoods in my life. Some people would kill for that stuff to be fully legalized.
- 17,376

they already kill for that stuff so
anyways we might as well start saying that killing people being bad is an unpopular opinion cause someone grew up around cartels (175k members) if we go by that logic

Not sure about anywhere else, but In my country, where the recreational drugs are a death sentence, many people want to legalize it. Not that the death sentence or the strict searches stopped them though, as people still find ways to smuggle it in, so I'm not sure if banning would be that useful, at least short term.

The USA would have the best global futbol/soccer team if they actually cared for it.
Tiktok shouldn't be banned.
AI taking jobs is a good thing.
The Internet is an exponentially more advanced technology than flying cars, yet nobody seems to realize it.

Unless you also think 90% of big tech companies should also be banned (Facebook, Google, X/Twitter, Apple, etc) I think it's a hypocritical stance to take.

I don't think tiktok should be banned or rather, I think the entire tiktok format should be banned. Youtube shorts? Likee? Down the drain.
We might start sounding like boomers saying it should be banned because them meddlin' kids are becomin' stoopid or sth, but the thing is, tiktok doesn't really bring any benefit. Old people have generally complained about new stuff throughout centuries - novels, rock n roll, pcs, social media, phones - but the thing is, these things, at least in my opinion, have brought us benefit in one way or another. Novels would increase creativity, bring new ideas, help shape people, rock n roll was a breakthrough in music and created countless genres subsequently and made many people come closer together, pcs and phones have countless benefits to any person and social media gave people the chance to communicate with friends from all around the globe. On the other hand, tiktok doesn't really have any major benefits that don't already exist and instead spreads misinfo about everything (not just politics), low quality content, plagiarism, lowers the attention span of people, is made specifically addictive to get people hooked and just generally has so much brainrot its unbeliavable.

Might as well come back with some of mine.
1. Word of God should have more credence than it does
2. Bleach feels incredibly soulless (ironically) and poorly-written, and I cannot understand how it became so iconic aside from the (wasted) core premise
3. I'll weigh in on the Jojo discourse and say part 2 is the best Jojo part
4. Half-Blood Prince is the most overrated HP film, even more than the rest of the series
5. Our standards for intelligence are fecked beyond belief (Supergenius should just mean superhuman intelligence, change my mind)

It should, just not on vsbw. You can say whatever you want and make it canon to the story but if you make a game about a guy crossing bridges fast but then reveal that he is actually jumping uncountably infinite mega multiverses in some vague tweet reply then you're tweakin'
Gotta read it more properly later but as far as I've seen it was okay, not as bad as you describe it imo.
I am personally into part 3 and 5 but part 2 has immense charm
Is it? I barely heard much about it. Thought the Deathly Hallows were the big one.
Supergenius means you can make something that requires intellect to craft that alters an entire universe or higher dimensions. Categorizing it as superhuman intelligence is like taking all the tiers above tier 9-C and categorizing them as "Real Strong" and nothing else.

If in reference to dangerous jobs with higher mortality rates, sure. Aside from that though like art and game/movie creation? Big no.

Idk about baking with that sugar but I'd say it's better in my tea and coffee

I was more referring to drinks, and not baked foods.

It's definitely good in drinks

And I slightly disagree, both because I feel like most Word of God is better than that,
Which is fair, i just really felt like it was a bit hollow (pun slightly intended)
This is true, but DH at least is closer to living up to the hype. I often hear people point to HBP as one of the best ones, but I think it's one of the weakest entries.
I just think we need more categories. Like, most fiction just uses Supergenius to mean "smarter than any real human can be", so I think it's weird that that's the term we use for the hardest-to-reach upper echelon of absurd gadgetry.
Plus obligatory mention of characters like in Worm that can make 4d tech but are otherwise less intelligent than most mammals.

I think fart jokes don't land because big animation companies don't know how to make them no more.
They still think that something being stinky with green steam coming off it is what encapsulates the joke, while in reality the reason why it ever became funny in the first place in this world is because the sound is unexpected and loud, while the thing they keep trying to use is only enjoyed by shitty fetish artists who need to stop showing up when i search up fanart of random characters. That is why reverb fart memes are a thing and they work especially in situations where you least expect them.
In short, animation companies who haven't moved on from fart jokes have neither moved on from 80-90s logic that "nasty=funny".

Fart jokes can be funny. It's just animation companies, as well as people who work on cartoons in general, just use it for a cheap laugh.
Clips like this show that fart jokes can be funny.

The certain clown I know goes by "Comedy is subjective, Murray", but even then, fart jokes can be pretty funny when it's the unexpected or it's done in the right context.

Almost everything that isn't a fact is subjective when you really look at it, doesn't mean everything should be based on subjectivity

This thread is an excellent litmus test for seeing who I should and shouldn't interact with more here. Anyways, hallucinogenics should be legalized. LSD in particular has practical medical uses, and I'll openly admit that acid has done wonders for my mental health.

Scaring The Hoes is a bit overwhelming. Its good but not 2023 AOTY.
Minecraft ost isnt the best video game ost. Its amazing, but not the best vgm of all time.
Banning Guns would not solve gun violence or is the solution.
Glass Beach self titled AOTY 2019

Lmao you gotta be careful here with that last take. You might get eaten alive.
Personally though, I see the merit in both socialism and capitalism. I would even call myself a socialist capitalist. Not sure if there's really a term for that.

It is, it's called a mixed-economy. Which, well, exists in a lot of places.

Not an unpopular take, rant time!
Ye / Mr. West / Kanye (My Favorite musician of all time) being antisemetic is so so so so disappointing. Pains me that such a talented musician who is already struggling with being bipolar but his blatant hatred against jews just sucks.
