This is just for a standard family day, not restaurants or big occasions. But, just washing dishes by hand as you go through the day and after dinner is way easier than loading a dishwasher, running the cycle and then unloading the machine. Just washing dishes them as they are used put them in the drying rack.

Just for reference- I have a wife and kid and cook three meals a day, just like doing them by hand🤷🏻‍♂️

Why do people hate glitter? Just the concept of it, i understand some is bad for the environment . But i just mean like when glitter gets on things like now you have a bedazzled pretty sparkly thing. Now that thing is prettier than what it was before . Glitter is awesome.

I have always avoided taking an IQ test even though I grew up in gifted and advanced placement programs. I think that if you find out that you have a high score, you can become arrogant and stop listening to advice from others, thinking you are always the smartest in the room. On the other hand, if you find out you have a low IQ score, you can lose your confidence and feel hopeless. I don’t see any benefit to knowing your IQ score.

I love playing football, in real life or on a video game... but honestly, watching it has become a torture, especially club football.

Before the season even starts, any fan with half a working brain already knows who's going to win the title and who's going to finish near the top.

Famous last words: MESMA MERDA

The cause is money and the damn inequality.

- Bayern won eleven Bundesliga titles in a row

- PSG strolls through France and even put the reserve team plenty of times

- Barcelona and Real crush their league without letting anyone breathe

- In Brazil, Flamengo and Palmeiras play with gigantic budgets and are already turning our league into a cesspool

- Leicester, Leverkusen, Monaco, Lille, Valencia, Deportivo, Atlético... All exceptions.

Inflation completes this nightmare. Nowadays, any scrub is worth millions of euros.

Absolute Shit!

Football needs to discuss spending caps and new rules... otherwise it'll always be... this.

Sleeping with extra clothes on feels better than sleeping in just underwear, and I don't care what the temperature is. Whether it's freezing cold or hot enough to make you sweat, there's something comforting about having that extra layer of fabric against your skin. A T-shirt, sweatpants, maybe even socks. It just feels right. People act like sleeping with less clothing is automatically more comfortable, but I genuinely don't get it. Sometimes I want to feel wrapped up in my own clothes under a blanket, like I'm cocooned from the world. Being half-naked in bed just doesn't hit the same.

A genuinely good person doesn't do things for others just to have it returned. They help because they want to, not because they're secretly keeping score and expecting people to pay them back with the same kindness. The moment you start resenting someone for not treating you the way you treat them, it makes you wonder whether your kindness was ever truly selfless in the first place

and don't get me wrong, it's perfectly fine to want mutual effort and to walk away from one-sided relationships. But there's a difference between recognizing that someone is taking advantage of you and getting angry because you expected them to operate exactly like you do. You can expect respect without expecting repayment for every good thing you do.

If your kindness disappears the moment it isn't reciprocated, maybe you're not being kind just for the sake of being kind. Maybe you're doing it because you want something in return. And that's not selflessness; that's a transaction disguised as a good deed

Letterboxd used to be a platform for film fans to actually share their opinions and provide nuanced reviews of films. Over the last few years, it’s become so mainstream and popularized that too many casuals have come onto the app and ruined its intention. Now, every review is some shitty, unfunny one-liner purely intended to farm likes. I was looking through the Clayface review page today to see what people were thinking of the movie, and every top review was just some unfunny joke from people with TikTok humor. If you look at more esoteric films or even ones from a few years ago when the app was smaller, those films actually had substantive reviews from actual film fans.

Look, I’m fine with having joke reviews, it’s a social media platform after all. But the app has turned into a bunch of wannabe comedians competing to see who can get the most likes rather than a place for actual analysis. I know they never would as it would dramatically reduce their engagement, but I honestly wish Letterboxd could either add a dislike button or disable likes entirely to stop this.

Also, the influx of casuals has also led to a disproportionate amount of recency bias. Films like Obsession, The Odyssey, and Project Hail Mary have inflated scores and are immediately thrown into the highest rated films of all time. This is mostly because of people who just throw 5-star movies at the latest popular thing or any new movie that they like. The app used to have balanced ratings and a top rated movies list filled with more unknown, older, or foreign films that are less popular, as opposed to something like the IMDB top 250. That was one of the reasons I used to enjoy the app so much, and now that’s gone. I honestly think we need a new app like this for real film fans and need to ensure we keep it niche. I have nothing against people who casually enjoy movies or are just looking for a fun time, but they don’t belong on an app intended for cinephiles, and the influx of them has ruined Letterboxd’s intended purpose.

1 Bathroom for any home with 2 bedrooms or less; 2 bathrooms for almost everything else.Maybe a stand alone toilet (half bath) if it's a multi level home.

I'm so sick of seeing floor plans for apartments and houses where half the damn space is taken up by bathrooms, it's a total waste of space and an annoyance to keep clean. I don't want to see a third bathroom until a house has at least 5 bedrooms.

Edit: Just to be clear, when I say ‘bathroom’ I mean a room where people shower and wash themselves; I’m not counting rooms that are just a toilet and sink. I’m fine for there to be one of those for every level of the home in anything other than a 1 bedroom apartment.

For instance, they're slowly but surely making us less aware of the speed limit signs. Making us less aware of keeping the lane, when we know the car's got our back most of the times.

But that's the problem I have with all of them:

They work most of the times.

So you can't 100% depend on them. You still have to do your job the same way. But now you are maybe feeling safer, thus the ride is demanding less of a challenge to keep that control yourself. Thus we're slowly getting worse in driving and predicting accidents.

Excuse my limited skill in speaking or writing cohesive English. This has boggled my mind over the years and I really wanted to catch your others opinions.

Not sure if this is considered as an unpopular opinion, but every time I see anyone mention this, ppl proceed to disagree and consider it to be something only older ppl or snobs would say due to nostalgia/tryna look like they have elite taste. Movies today dont care about anything; story, acting, camera work and production in general - most of them keep recycling and are using the mainstream recipe and subpar actors. A lot of propaganda to sell it too. Music is a bit more up for debate as the concept of what sounds good can't be defined objectively that easily and its there to awaken a broader, often simpler emotional and functional purposes. But all in all, quality declined severely. Saying there have always been bad movies and songs misses the point: the argument isn't that bad media never existed before, but that poor quality seems to have become far more prevalent.

Edit: I strongly urge the new commenter to check some of the comments and my replies, as you are writing the same things over and over again. I answered them. And, since you all love to call survivorship bias - no, its not it. Bad movies always existed. Doesn't excuse the lack of good movies today and fall of cinematography.

Alright then. Due to repetition of the comments I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave, since I have spent 3 hours on here discussing. I'll keep the topic up so you guys can discuss further and you can check some of my previous replies if interested - you will most definitely find an answer to just about anything you were ready to comment.

We've all seen ads of the MC totally pwning the final boss, or flying away from an explosion or stuff like that.

But what we don't see...spending 15 minutes jumping randomly into a corner wall because you haven't figured out how to back up yet. Running off a cliff into a nothing abyss. Just standing still like an idiot while a super-easy level villain is taking swings at you because you haven't figured out how to fight back yet.

Those are the game play demos I want to see...realistic...true to life...accessible to my game level. Then you'll have my money!

Critics deeply despised that era of rock. They hated especially nu-metal, metal, alternative rock, and post grunge, but that was a peak decade for it it generated some of the best music we ever seen for the genre. It got panned because it wasn’t exactly original, but neither was grunge. Grunge was also a mix of other genres before it.

Linkin Park was a groundbreaking band who produced some of the most original music. The same can about Disturbed, Korn, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Drowning Pool, Static X, Rammstein, Killswitch Engaged, Deftones, etc .Chevelle was also awesome. Limp Bitzkit was unapologetically smash mouth and unforgiven. They transcended rock. Slipknot was massively popular too despite not getting much love from radio stations. Radiohead was producing some of the best music ever. Tool was doing the same thing. Manson was great in the 2000s, as well.

That era is loaded with talent and under appreciated bands like Spineshank, Diecast, Life of Agony, Art of Dying, Eyehategod, Bullet for a Valentine, Skillet, Downset, Type O Negative, In This Moment, Hatebreed, Three Day Grace, Rob Zombie, Breaking Benjamin, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Seether, Seven Dust, Mushroom Head, Fear Factory, Machine Head, Stone Sour, Nothingface, Cold, Crossfade, 10 years, Opeth, Murderdolls, Trapt, Nonpoint, Daughtery, Coal Chamber.

Even deeply hated bands like Nickelback, Staind, Creed, Puddle of Mudd, Shinedown, etc had their collection of hit songs and deep songs that rocked.

There’s a narrative, at least in a lot of east coast US cities, that the mountains are “fun to visit but not good places to actually live in full time”

I just came back from a work plus fun trip to western Maryland. Went all over Garrett County Saturday. Grantsville, Friendsville, Accident, Deep Creek, Oakland, Swanton, Kitzmiller. Then went to Cumberland and Frostburg on Sunday.

The downside to this area is that this area does not have the economy that the east coast proper (Baltimore, DC, Philly, etc) has.

But, the properties are amazing. If you do find work, your purchasing power will likely be higher here than back in the flat lands. You could have enough land for pigs, goats or sheep on a regular income and cows or horses on a medium high income. This would all need a very high income down in the flat lands.

I think a lot of people only see a very thin, often somewhat superficial side of the mountains, such as Deep Creek Lake, Seven Springs, some touristy parts of the Poconos, etc. and then decide “this is fun for a trip but not for a full time life”. Which, fair, Id be dine with Deep Creek activites in like 3 days. I don’t know if the novelty of a house in the mountains near Grantsville with enough land for a goat pen and a pig pen would wear off that quickly though.

Basically any time anyone talks about their home price estimate from Zillow they get completely shit on. "It doesn't take in to account the unique parts of your home"..."It ignore upgrades"..."Every home is different"..."It only works in an area where every home is the exact same"

Yeah sure that's maybe true to some extent, but its +/- 5%. That's it. Anything more than that is a complete wild card scenario.

Homes aren't special. There are almost always 100 (or 1000s) of nearly similar models whether its city condos, suburban single famlies, or rural farms. The value lies in what it is and where it is. And therefore its all extremely relative and therefore extremely predictable.

I've seen many times where people complain that Americans' politeness is fake and superficial. Even if that's true, it's not as bad as people make it sound. It's better to have a stranger smile at you and talk politely even if they are faking it. It still makes your day. It's not important whether they "genuinely" care about you. For someone you'll likely never meet again, it doesn't matter if they are cussing you deep down while smiling on the outside as they serve your coffee. We can't expect strangers to be truly emotionally immersed anyway. And we can never have any control over what others think about us.

edit2: I’m putting this on top because y’all seem to be confused about what sub you’re in. This is r/unpopularopinions and I made an appropriate post. I don’t necessarily hold this opinion. In fact I mostly don’t care. It’s just when I was a young concert going teen tour shirts were exclusive to tours. One t-shirt dedicated to the tour the rest were regular merch. So to me it’s weird to see them being sold outside of the tours shows. However I’m happy to have provided y’all with some meat. Have a good day and enjoy your tour merch however you bought it.

Edit end

I dont have a problem with the band making generic tour merch to put on there webstore but the shirts sold at shows should be different and not available anywhere but at a show and once the tour is over the tour shirts are burned and written off as loss on their taxes.

Edit: ok so a lot of you are under the impression I’m young. I’m not I’m old enough to remember when that is how it was. I used to collect tour shirts as a teen.

I am not that worried about people wearing them that much honestly but it is a minor pet peeve. I just knew it would be an unpopular opinion and do numbers here. Glad I could be unpopular for y’all. Have a great one and wear whatever you want. It don’t change my life one bit. No that’s not me giving you permission (weirdo) it’s me saying people have the liberty to wear whatever they choose. Peace and thanks for the interactions.

I mostly encounter this in fan spaces for various media, so for all I know it could be a completely normal opinion to the rest of the world.

If I see someone complaining about a piece of media, let’s say a show, and they express that they don’t enjoy it, I tell them they can just not engage with it and focus on something they DO enjoy. Every time, I’m told that it’s a bad take or call me the r slur or whatever. And I genuinely don’t think it is.

If you're listening to a song and you don’t enjoy it, you change songs. If you’re eating food and you don’t like it, you stop eating it. So why the hell is it any different for shows or movies or games? Nobody is holding a gun to your head, and if you’re not enjoying something then the logical thing IS to stop engaging with it. Engage in something you DO enjoy. Forcing yourself to engage with something that you don’t like just because it’s popular or because you want to have an opinion on it doesn’t make sense and you’d be a hell of a lot happier just focusing on what you enjoy.

idk if this makes sense but sometimes i think what we call healing is just getting used to being unhappy.

like, something happens and it completely messes you up. at first you can’t stop thinking about it, it affects everything, and you genuinely feel like you’ll never be the same again.

then time passes. you start going to work, watching movies, laughing at stupid things, talking to people like normal. eventually you stop thinking about it as much.
and everyone assumes you’ve healed, including yourself maybe.

but what if you’re not actually okay with what happened? what if you just got better at living with it?
i’m not saying healing isn’t real or that people can’t move on. i just wonder how often we mistake being functional for being okay.

maybe sometimes we heal, and sometimes we just learn how to carry things without letting them ruin our entire day.

idk, just something i’ve been thinking about lately. do you think there’s actually a difference?

Sounds good on paper but you’re telling me the people that can’t read a “pull or push” door sign are what’s between you and a prison sentence?!? The people that need warnings on every product. The ones who can’t list all 50 states?

A jury, yes. Of MY peers? Absolutely not

I’ve been noticing a lot more posts online lately where people complain about how they were treated, whether it’s an interaction with a stranger, a disagreement with a friend. But the more I read these stories, I find myself thinking that the person posting was actually the one in the wrong. What’s interesting is that we’re only getting their side of the story, which you’d think would paint them in the best possible light, yet somehow they still manage to come across as unreasonable, assholes, or completely lacking in self-awareness. It feels like a lot of people come here not because they genuinely want another perspective, but because they want validation for their behavior. And the comments often make it worse with people immediately taking the OP’s side without questioning anything. Obviously, there are plenty of legit complaints, but I think more people could benefit from asking themselves whether they actually the victim in a situation or just upset that someone didn’t respond the way they wanted. People should be more introspective.

there is no plot line no consistency in any of the follow up movies. no mention of them. its all just reboots of a reboot of a reboot of the original movie made in the 1980s. there is a reason why Bruce has never been in a cameo of any of them

They actually are extremely emotional and take everything personally. They make a big deal about everything. They say "That's not funny!" as if it's a fact and not an opinion.

People who make everything a joke and can't be serious about anything can be immature but most of the time they know that nothing deserves a whole bunch of unnecessary energy and can move on quickly when things don't go their way. But overly serious people are always insufferable in every situation they even make serious situations worse because they are so damn melodramatic

There's nothing wrong with not having a sense of humor or not being silly but if everything is a damn soap opera it gets weird and annoying

All the usual advice is to like yourself and be yourself before trying to find someone but emotionally damaged people can find that hard to do, and often a relationship is the thing that makes them feel better, or rebound. There's nothing wrong with engaging in co-dependent relationships and it's done quite often.

If a person can't learn to be happy with themselves independent of a romantic relationship, then they should do what they gotta do.

I think property damage liability limits should be capped at a reasonable amount, like $150k.

If you choose to drive a $1 million Ferrari, why should someone driving a $30k Toyota have to worry about potentially owing you a million dollars if they cause an accident?

I'm not saying people shouldn't be responsible for the damage they cause. But there's a difference between taking responsibility and being financially ruined because someone else chose to drive an insanely expensive car.

Public roads are for everyone. Most accidents involve normal cars, and a $150k limit would cover the vast majority of them. If you want to drive a car worth $500k or $1 million, you should carry your own insurance to cover the extra risk that comes with owning it. Why should everyone else have to account for the possibility of hitting a supercar just because a few people choose to drive them?

If you want to own an unusually expensive car, you should bear more of the risk that comes with it.

Edit 1: A few people brought up building/property damage, and I think that’s a fair point. I’m specifically talking about auto damage, not property damage in general. If you cause $500k+ in damage to someone’s home, business, or other property, that’s a different issue and I’m not arguing that those losses should simply be capped.
Edit 2: Also, to clarify something I think is getting misunderstood: your auto insurance liability limit is not the same thing as the maximum amount you can personally be held liable for. If you have $150k in property-damage liability coverage and cause $500k in covered damage, your insurance may pay up to your $150k policy limit, but that doesn't necessarily make the remaining $350k disappear. You can still be personally liable for amounts above your policy limit. My argument is specifically about whether that unlimited personal exposure for auto damage makes sense when the underlying risk is largely driven by the value of someone else's unusually expensive vehicle.
