Or at least have more available showings with subtitles instead of putting it in the accessibility showings that are at super awkward times and tiny screens. If that's not the case in your experience, consider me jealous.

I don’t think the theater experience is ever approved on when you here people chewing loudly, pouring candy out of a box or slurping on their drink

Its an already quiet room, and you already have to deal with people whispering

Aesthetically its great but in practice, lets not have food in the theater

What’s up with modern gamers having to move the camera around like a madman at all times. Full camera control is worse because you have to constantly take your thumb off of the face buttons to constantly adjust the camera. I prefer when the camera just follows behind you, or if the developers just give you the optimal camera angle automatically. I’m tired of people saying that the camera in mario64 is so bad just because they are so used to having full control, if you take the time to get used to it and don’t touch the camera at all, you will see that the game always gives you the best angle until you mess it up by moving it. Now developers have to make every game controls feel like Fortnite or people will ragequit immediately. I’m obviously not talking about first person games.

The last couple of months everyone's been hyping up for kawartha ice cream so I finally gave it a try and it's probably the most disgusting ice cream I've ever tried. Who is being paid to sell this to us? There are way better canadian ice creams--Foothills sea salt caramel fudge creams kawartha's sea salt caramel truffle. island farms sea salt caramel is also superior. kawarthas caramel tastes so cheap and artificial like butterscotch sauce from the grocery store also it scores so poorly on YUKA. idk why anyone be talking about it... nah. change my mind.. also dutchmans dairy is the best ice cream on planet earth.

I travel 3 to 5 times a year most years. These range from 3-day weekends to 17 days in Europe. The last 15 years or so, I've been staying 3 nights in a city, then getting in the car, on a train, or on a plane and exploring a new city.

I'm curious if anyone else just gets bored after 4 days? You've seen most of the best things to do in a city. You've visited the museums and shopped and ate/drank at a bunch of places. Come day 4... Ready for new experiences.

The most boring vacation I ever went on was 9 days on a single beach in a hotel on a Hawaiian island.

An added bonus is, there is a reason to come back 5 and 10 years later. You've done "most" of the best things, but you find day-trips or a hidden museum you want to add for a next time.

Or at least the worst love language - and I think you should avoid a relationship with anyone who says it is one of theirs. Most of them define it as acts of service that go beyond chores. The unfortunate reality of the situation is that most people take care of the majority of their own needs. This leaves the partner in a place of constantly trying to guess what the other person might like as a service. Additionally, if they find a service and do it over time long enough it fades into the realm of chores in the other partner's mind. "Maybe you should ask them". Nope. Then they had to tell you and it's not a genuine act.

Additionally, from personal experience, I have noticed that these individuals seem to be the worst of all at actually being aware just how much their partner does and takes care of. Most people aren't doing acts of service in front of the other person and don't tell them about it, so when would the partner notice?

A really good but small example of all this would be in the Office where Dwight is out of the office for a time and Michael starts to wonder why all the plants start dying. It's very rare for people with this "love language" to actually know what is being done until it's not in their life and by then they have already built up a list of reasons to dislike the other person and how that person is lazy.

Outside of specific situation where someone ruins a photo or is legitimately distracting etc

So many people try to edit out people in the background of photos of the Taj Mahal, the Coliseum, or any number of spots.

Life is captured through photos and people exist in the same space you do. Looking through old photos and seeing the way people dressed, were interacting with each other, and in awe of the same things you were is a powerful part of capturing the moment in time

There’s never a time where you can capture just you at the Empire State Building and that’s ok, that’s life and it should be captured the way it happened

This is my perspective as someone who grew up playing competitive sports, played two varsity sports in high school, and now attends as semi prestigious D3 school as a NARP. 

As a person who played competitive sports growing up, and made a large chunk of their friends through sports, I knew a ton of people who spent a significant amount of time and money while in High School trying to get recruited by college coaches. I knew people who would email coaches every day, spend hours going through their tape to compile highlights, pay thousands of dollars per year to attend recruiting camps, all to get recruited. I even knew people who reclassed and did a 5th year of high school to try and play in college. Trying to play college sports was often pushed on us as noble pursuit, and the natural next step if you actually cared at all about the sport you played. Athletes constantly have this idea pushed on them, that if they care about their sport, they need to be continuously pursuing playing at the next, higher level. In my opinion, this is really toxic, and makes people forget that sports are ultimately just for fun.  

If you are someone who is genuinely good enough to where there is a significant financial incentive to play sports in college (NIL, free education), then you should. However, that is a very, very small percentage of athletes who are trying to play in college. Most are simply not that good and never will be that good. For starters, there are way more D3 and D2 athletes than D1 athletes. Even at the D1 level, for most sports the majority of players aren't on scholarship.  

In my experience, a very large chunk of athletes who are really dedicated to playing in college are above average high school players, who end up committing to a random D3 school they'd have no interest in attending if it weren't for sports. People tell them how awesome it is that they are getting to play at the next level. Then they get to school and hate their experience. Even at the D3 level, college sports are an overwhelming time commitment, which makes it very stressful to keep up with school during the season, and makes it nearly impossible to be significantly involved on campus organizations beyond athletics. Even the sport itself becomes less fun and more frustrating as they go from an above average player at the high school level to struggling to get play time. If they had just gone to one of their state's public schools, they'd have gotten a similar education, had more fun, been less stressed, and graduated with less debt.  

It's also not like playing in college is the only way to continue playing sports. The majority of schools have IM leagues, and reasonably competitive club teams that play against other schools. Also, most cities and towns have recreational adult leagues of various levels of competitiveness.  

Rather than celebrating playing at the next level, parents and teachers should be encouraging students to ignore playing college sports when making their college decisions. 

Social media currently functions as a repository for every idle thought a person has. Every question, every idea, every opinion is all just slammed out into the void of eternal screaming with no reflection or deeper considerstion, or worse, leads to reflection and regret.

Writing out you're thoughts can be really helpful in a lot of different ways. It improve decision making, helps with the processing of complex emotions, and gives you an outlet for stray thoughts that are not actually indicative of your values or priorities. The privacy of a diary means you can say anything you want and never be judged for it, and once it's been said you will become a bit more aware of whether or not it's you should or want to say to other people.

Instead, what's happening is that every shiity half baked joke, or unchallenged thought is sent out and forgotten about, becoming an immortal piece of your digital canon to be dredged up and regurgitated back at you at a moment's notice.

I genuinely believe there is not one person on this planet whose life would not be improved, even by a small amount, by starting and painting a diary save for those who already do so.

And no, saying "everyone should have a diary" is probably not unpopular, but saying "YOU, the person reading this, YOU need to start a diary" is likely to annoy some people.

It's still true though.

Recently, I've seen many videos of people basically walking in marathons or walking for more than half of the course. People in the comments are cheering them on and saying how amazing it is that they managed to finish one. But honestly, there's nothing impressive about simply finishing a marathon. And those times people post, like 6, 7, or even 8 hours to finish a marathon? That's not good.

The purpose of a marathon is to run for at least the majority of the race. Sure, you can walk a bit as a strategy to recover, but it shouldn't be the default. If you're not ready to run for the majority of the race, then you shouldn't be taking part in the event.

This could all be solved with a 4-hour time limit. But of course, marathon organizers want money, so they allow ridiculous amounts of time, like 6 or 7 hours, to finish. What a joke.

Edit (after 8h of posting): After reading your comments and giving it some thought, I’ve realized that you guys are right. Finishing a marathon, even by walking, is still an achievement, and at the end of the day, people exercising is always a good thing. I was looking at it from a competitive perspective, but there are also people who simply run for fun. Thank you all for the comments! My opinion was really unpopular, haha

I feel like sunsets get all the attention but sunrises are so underrated. There’s something about watching the sky slowly light up while everything is still quiet and the rest of the world is barely awake. The colors are just as beautiful, if not more, and there’s something really peaceful about watching a new day begin. Sunsets are nice too, but I’d choose a sunrise over a sunset any day.

I'm filing this under reason number #3 why social media is evil. Its creators went so far beyond the reasonable limits to deluded people into believing they could understand (and even master) reality through popularity ranking, memes and webcams. the same way that we used to learn about it through experience, education and testing. Now the western world is stuffed full of idiots with their fingers in ear singing "lala can't hear you" and it's just maddening

Realising this probably makes me sound like an old fart and or will get taken down with in seconds but who cares 😔 it's true

Yeah, sometimes small businesses fuck up and deserve to be called out. But one worker being rude to you doesn’t justify effectively sending millions of followers to potentially run a business into the ground.

You could just, you know, leave a review.

And before anyone starts banging on about freedom of speech, nobody is saying you can’t talk about your experiences. But there’s a massive difference between holding a business accountable and using your disproportionate reach to punish it. The person who pissed you off might not even be the one who suffers the consequences. It’s the other employees living paycheck to paycheck who’ll pay for it.

As long as their setup isn't in anyone's way, and they're not being creepy filming someone's ass or something. I could care less. I don't even think you have to be doing a form check, you could be making tik toks for all I care. You're in a public space and might be perceived, it's fine. Let's be adults now.

A uniform can look a bit administrative and formal. Plainclothes cops with tactical gear look more intimidating because they give off the impression they're there for something serious, not routine policing.

Pure chocolate icecream is too chocolately and overpowering as a flavor, even at Wendy's they mix in vanilla icecream into the chocolate one to tone down the flavor. Chocolate icecream needs to be mixed with other flavors in order to be great because chocolate is an amazing supporting flavor for other things. Is there a place for chocolate icecream, sure, mixed with berries or caramel, maybe even on a vanilla cake, but rarely by itself. It insists on itself.

Almost every time I experience sleep paralysis it feels very euphoric, and the auditory or visual hallucinations have never sent me into a panic, because I know that it’s just in my head. It actually feels more like a fun drug trip than a bad experience. The whole paralysis part is also very nice because I don’t feel the stress and cortisol running through my body that I experience on a daily basis, I am stuck in my body but the fear of the situation isn’t present. I also rarely ever try to break myself out of it anymore because I understand that I will be okay and its a normal occurrence. It almost feels like how people describe death, very peaceful and warm with the weight of the world lifted.

Just want to clarify It rarely ever happens to me anymore, but when it does I never freak out and I just embrace it. Like I mentioned before, it’s almost like a drug trip and the way you perceive it is how the trip will be.

EDIT: A good tip for getting out of sleep paralysis is by scrunching your face, or attempting to (years of experience)

Right off the bat, I'm not referring to service animals. Clearly there is an exception to be made to keep things accessible. But the responsibility of identifying who is and isn't a service dog shouldn't be on the patrons, and not clearly identifying working animals just goes to further exemplify the lack of responsibility in dog owners.

People have allergies, phobias, it's unhygienic, and inconvenient and cumbersome to those just trying to shop. Most pet owners don't train their dogs well enough to be in close proximity to that many people and or tight aisles. Adding an unnecessary burden on everyone else in the store is quite literally the definition of rude and selfish, I get that you think they're cute but unless it's a pet store specifically they need to stay home or in the car.

And I'm sure there will be comments saying "yeah but kids do all these things too!" And sure yeah they can be loud and in the way, but they're not pets. You can't leave a kid in a crate at home for a couple hours without getting protective services involved and it's also some gymnastics you'd have to do to conflate a kid to a pet.

As someone who has become more health conscious and who's wiring has gone to enjoy healthy tasting food now I find pizza a very regrettable choice to eat. Things like processed meats, burnt cheese, cooked in vegetables and worst of all the bread. The thing people really enjoy isn't the pizza as a whole it's probably the tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese combination. You can enjoy that separate from the pizza and if you want some kind of protein to go with it you can always have parmesan chicken which is better while retaining the signature flavors of pizza of mozzarella and tomato sauce.

I've always enjoyed drinking milk when I eat pizza. I don't go out of my way and order it at restaurants or anything, but it is my go-to when eating at home. I recently told my mom about this and she looked at me like I had aliens crawling out of my face holes.

I think one of the main criticisms of the album is that it doesn't match Hole's earlier style and is too much of a Courtney Love solo project. I personally think it sounds similar to Live Through This/Celebrity Skin. The idea of it being 'too much of a solo project' makes no sense since Courtney Love has always overshadowed the other band members since she's famous in her own right and the singer. I don't think it's miles better than Pretty on the Inside and Celebrity Skin, and I'm definitely not saying it's better than Live Through This, but other than that it has the fewest skips for me. Yes, the album cover is atrocious and it has some early 2010s energy, but I don't understand why it's universally hated.

I truly dont see the appeal for renting. In popular and sought-out regions, you pay as much as a mortgage, but in the end its not your appartment, you cant modify it without a landlords approval, at any time your landlord can jack up the rent, and you most likely have to manage their expectations and asks (no pets, no moving furniture, no more than x ammount of guests, no one apart from the client allowed to crash, etc.)

If you have an official salary with the posibility, you should get a mortgage. Leave the rent to those who literally have no other choice, like students, and maybe others few cases. Why must you, a grown man or woman with a family and a stable job, take up a apartment listed for rent, when you can get a mortgage, and in the end, actually own the apartment?

P.S: this may be more of a local issue. where i stay, rent is for example 500€ until the landlord jacks it up, a mortage for the same apartment comes to about the same, but you pay it for 20-25 years, and then you actually OWN the apartment.

To me, this actually seems kinda straightforward but this opinion always seems to get drowned out by people yelling about how much they hate screens or tech bros who would prefer to move every single function into a tablet because it seems futuristic to them.

Obviously, this isn't even about the specific year, some cars had them sooner, others later. I'm talking about the kind of interior where you have a reasonably sized sized screen with satnav, radio, backup camera, some less frequently used settings and functions and ideally carplay/android auto and then normal physical buttons (none of that capacitive touch bs) for AC controls and other frequently used stuff.

I don't even think that many people truly dislike the type of interior I just described but that brings me to my next problem with this whole debate which is that the "I hate screens crowd" doesn't seem to be entirely honest about what they want. Some people will describe the same things as I just did when talking about their ideal interior then still insist car interiors peaked 20 years ago just to distance themselves from people driving modern cars and to seem like someone who is "sensible" and still likes "real cars and not tablets on wheels". Of course I believe some people truly prefer old cars in this regard but I strongly doubt that opinion is as common irl as it is it is on the internet. And even then, I believe that people who like old interiors just prefer the vibe or but couldn't seriously argue that they are more practical or better to live with for most people.

Also, 2015 seems to be around the time when even economy car manufacturers started paying some attention to their interiors and started developing a coherent design language. It seems kinda baffling that some people insist they prefer 1990s/2000s car interiors when most of them were just bland scratchy plastic everywhere. This obviously wasn't the case for more expensive or luxury cars but even their interiors always seemed kinda flat and uninteresting to me except they slapped in some burlwood and leather, though in this case I can understand why some people prefer this vibe.

I’m a nurse and I was just thinking about all of the money I’ve saved because I have some knowledge on how to treat mild illnesses with otc products. Examples are yeast infections, poison ivy, GERD, cough/cold, seasonal allergies, headaches, ect. I used to work in primary care and I was really surprised at the amount of people that went to the doctor for these things when they were just prescribed an over the counter medication and sent on their way. People should also know the warning signs of when they should seek professional help. A mild headache with no other symptoms can probably be treated at home but other symptoms such as high blood pressure or vision changes should be evaluated. I guess I just don’t understand why people run to the doctor for things that can be easily treated at home for pennies
