Controversial opinions

[Zanshin]

Here's a more serious one. Im throwing this in, so I can dig it up to boast about it, after 2-3 years:

"Africa--> food crisis-->famine-->migration-->Ebola-->moonshot. Investing in pandemics is good decision now".

Wait... what?!

Controversial opinions

Wait, are you insinuating that this is not how other people live??? Historically and to this day, people who have their every need tended to, they then want to look good and attractive and find hot mates to mate with. Sure, a few will tend towards sloth and fat, but that’s the exception. From...

Edit: BTW that preview is wrong you have to click through, that's just the first post on that page, I think Robert Plant is awesome lol.

And all this from a Toto song?

This thread has me acutely aware of just how much a basic bitch I really am.

I don't like "Epic" music

If you mean that "trailer" music or "2 steps from hell" kind of music than I second that, this "orchestral pop metal" is really just annoying after a while

Some people just need to drink better coffee.

Soft string textures are for shy composers.

"Making Star Wars mockups should be banned in 2023, just like Stairway To Heaven is banned in guitar shops."

I just made one but it’s still 2022.

Quentin Tarantino is completely overrated and Once Upon A Time in Hollywood was a terrible movie.

Not just Once Upon A Time in Hollywood I’m afraid.

By mimicking / paying tribute to B-movies, you end up with B-movies.

After Jackie Brown, there are no movies I’ve watched twice. I almost left the theatre at Kill Bill.

Sadly agree -- Pulp Fiction was interesting in an experimental sense, and had great music and actors, but if you had watched it in chrono order I'm not sure it would have been as appealing.

Kill Bill was just...silly in places. Carried by the actors alone, but after that one, I never saw the need to watch another QT movie.

Doing everything by one’s self is a potential sign of both genius, and complete lack of leadership/teamwork skills.

But then Prince worked with the Revolution for a long time, and iirc always credited Wendy Melvoin with the guitar chords that open "Purple Rain". (If he was not a genius I don't understand what people mean by the word.)

Most controversial opinion I believe in: coffee is a terrible misunderstanding, a huge glitch in human history. Who in their right mind went: lets pick that berry, throw it in the fire, pour water over the resulting coals and drink whatever concoction I get out of it? Well, as was to be expected of such a procedure, the result is a bitter, sour, burnt something that surely only through an unparalleled case of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' can have become the ubiquitious drink it is today. I cannot fathom anybody really enjoying that taste. Experts keep telling: 'It's such a complex taste. It has up to 42 different aromatics'. Yes. And so does biting into a car tire.

Without 18th-century coffeehouses, no Enlightenment. (You might think this a good trade, I suppose.)

One can have enough string libraries.

One can have enough string libraries.

I have at *least* two too many. But there's no selling them or giving them away, so that's a lesson learnt.

Lets not forget that we are not buying the libraries, just the right to use them. If you do not need the "spare" two anymore, you've probably already used them up.

Developers who only display their prices in Euros or Pounds (ew), , instead of USD (normal people money) deserve to be publicly shamed and humiliated

I don't like impressionism. Don't like the music, don't like the paintings. I can appreciate the artistry and the genius of coming up with something new that had never been done before, but I still hate it (with a few notable exceptions).
