-Paramore is a legitimately good pop-punk band
-Godspeed You! Black Emperor's "Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven" is miles above "F#A#∞" in terms of composition
-George Carlin isn't actually very funny
Let's talk about opinions that would get you kicked out of a room immediately
I actually agree on Carlin. He's still very worth listening to but I feel like laugh-out-loud comedy isn't what he did or what he went for.

Abortion being framed as "a right" is ridiculous and the state does possess the ability to legislate one's body. I would definitely be kicked out of a room for saying that. Because I hate women or something

turn-based gameplay is nothing more than a relic of an era in which real-time gameplay was technically demanding and as such it should have been done away with the instant gaming machines became powerful enough for that to no longer be an issue[/spoiler]

i prefer turn-based jrpgs over real-time jrpgs. they're relaxing games that are best enjoyed on the toilet
also, games that blend turn-based combat with real time are the worst. e.g., final fantasy series
i feel like tec's idea that turn-based gameplay is a "relic" isn't so much of a "controversial opinion" so much as it's just plain wrong lol
it wouldn't be kept around and so beloved if it truly were outdated or something
it's literally just a style of gameplay that happens to still be around
anyway uhhh let's see unpopular opinion uhhhh
i think mirror's edge was one of the best games this gen
one would imagine that tec would like to take as much time as possible to make all of his decisions in a game, so his hatred of turned-based combat is odd goowan

Unfortunately, as we all know, people
the pressure that our society holds over the obligation to vote is stupid. in reality you're just trying to guess which candidate will be better based on what they've said and what they have done, which is hardly a good indicator of the future. voting is just guessing coupled with inherent bias. nobody can see both sides to anything (not saying that i am exempt from this), and if you don't want to participate in the broken system you shouldn't have to
the idea of "race" will and should be abolished, and people need to view the human race as one race instead of a bunch of different races in competition with eachother. i feel the same way about gender. while differences between sexes are much more tangible, instead of mostly made up (like that with races), i feel like you should just be an individual with a penis or an individual with a vagina, and then fuck whoever you want, instead of having to identify yourself as something and experience a shit ton of bias based on your identification
marketing is inherently unethical and should be entirely information based. this would give the consumers the best possible experience (because really, when you're trying to find out if a product is good or not do you ever look at the company's page for it? of course not) and encourage better products to be made instead of whatever appeals to idiots who have been brainwashed by fox news
copyrights on productivity based software (anything that can be used as a tool) should be abolished, everything should be open-source, and there should be a tax to support open source software. this would create an ultimately superior computing experience that is driven by quality instead of one-upping the competition and financial gain that brings down the consumer (i.e. drm)
I agree with most of that except the voting thing.
how is trying to convince people to buy your product unethical
I somewhat disagree with the race part too. The racial barriers that exist are certainly more concrete, in my eyes, than the ones that separate gender. Mostly because people of different races tend to be from different cultural backgrounds, so in that respect it's really just the culture instead of race, but there's a strong correlation to race that can't be ignored.
Quote from: Snack Dad on March 11, 2013, 03:19:29 PM

It's not unethical if you're only using factual data. Why do coke and pepsi need to sell a "lifestyle" when they sell their product? people being happy and bubbly and drinking coke. when in reality, you can get the exact same product for less money with a "fred meyer brand cola" or "safeway select cola" label on it. it baffles me that people buy the name brand.
that kind of marketing is a waste of time and money. people know what the product is. it's fucking cola. it's not a lifestyle.
using that kind of marketing for every product (which happens) brainwashes people. look at how successful beats headphones are. overpriced as shit. you can get better headphones for half the price, but people can't see through the marketing, and they want to fit into the "beats lifestyle" which is moronic

I'm mostly talking out of my ass with that one, but I feel like it doesn't change a whole lot. It's be interesting to see some longitudinal data over expectations and realities for candidates across time.

definitely, and i have nothing wrong with cultures. the problem with race is that people
immediately identify one's race with the culture that is most fitting for their physical appearance. if you want to appreciate your culture, that's awesome. the problem that i have is that if you were 25% african american and 75% caucasian, and you were interested in your african roots more than your caucasian ones, people would think you were ridiculous. looking white and having vested interests in a culture that doesn't look fitting for you. i think that the word "race" should be abolished, since that implies differences beyond a cultural background (and the minor physical differences, which probably wont be around for a couple hundred more years anyway because of increased globalization).

which is a much better word.
also, it's idiotic that you need to check a box to identify your ethnicity whenever you're applying for something or filling something out. that just enforces the idea that our different ethnicities pull us apart from being of the same human race.

even more extreme: i don't think there should be any sort of personal identifying data [gender/ethnicity/etc] on applications. just qualifications and how to contact the individual.

Free software actually does rely on copyright; licenses like GNU GPL, MIT, BSD, and Apache are all based on copyright, although the license terms grant plenty of freedom while preserving credit. A lack of copyright is simply public domain.
Tax money effectively does fund proprietary software, particularly Microsoft's, because of its immense deployment in education, government offices, government services, etc., but some other governments (like I think France) have more funding directed at open-source software.

its just kind of like what's the big deal there is nothing interesting going on in this album all his jokes were used on Loveless and to rehash what he's done is kind of ridiculous why did he spend twenty years bullshitting.
4/10
Just because it was made 20 years after the last one doesn't mean it took 20 years to make.
the recording process was apparently half done in 1997 after the band broke up
i doubt it was touched very often in the 16 years following

QuoteIn 2007, describing the imminent release of a new record, Shields said "It sounds like what we sounded likeâ€"different but not radically different" and revealed the album was composed from "[the] '96/'97 record half-finished record finished, and then a compilation of stuff we did before that in 1993â€"94, and a little bit of new stuff."[4]

right, so it's pretty obvious why it sounds "dated"
because it's literally mostly a record from 16+ years ago
bad jokes notwithstanding
