If you say I hate the automotive designers who can’t design properly angled headlights, I’m criminalizing your shit take too
1v1 competitive videogames are superior to team and squad based competitive videogames (when “having fun with your friends” isn’t the goal.)
The stigma around people who play multiplayer or competitive games is entirely from team games. I don’t know enough book words to say why, maybe because there’s more shame in being the worst player on a team than there is in simply being worse than your opponent?
Single player rpg/adventure games, especially ones that are “story driven” are boring. If there’s no challenge to the gameplay and it’s the same thing over and over just to get to the next cutscene i might as well watch a movie because at least the story might be good and it won’t take 30 hours.
Monogamy is fine and no better or worse than polyamory
Hardcore style (or whatever you call the karate flailing with the kicking and punching) moshpits are bad and annoying and make the entire set of genres where they are common totally inaccessible to a lot of metal enjoyers. Plus it seems like y’all aren’t picking people up who fall over which is just not cool but that may just be bad shows because I’ve hardly been to any hardcore shows
Best punk show I was ever at was in a shitty dive bar and the whole floor was packed and the whole crowd was like rushing back and forth like waves almost, but everyone was making sure nobody tipped over. It was really something to experience. I am also not a pit enjoyer, but good ones do exist, and they’re something to behold.
i specifically dont like any of the sony movie-games (derogatory). such slow gameplay with boring cutscenes. at least give me some wacky and weird cutscenes like death stranding or alan wake 2, instead its oscar bait drivel in video games with boring gameplay in between.
I think the awful nature of competitive online games specifically started with the introduction of matchmaking. The way it works now, the entire process of forming a team and playing the game is as depersonalized as it is possible to be, which studies show brings out the absolute worst in people. Prior to that, playing a competitive team game was a social activity - you had to join a guild or a clan, you had to arrange play time and get to know your teammates, you probably knew your opponents as well because you would do clan wars or whatever with the same rotating groups, and you were playing on smaller servers with a higher ratio of moderators so that people who were assholes (or cheaters) would be corrected or banned more easily.
Even if you weren’t doing organized team play, just playing longer sessions with the same group of people while the teams shuffle every match is better at passively encouraging good behavior because everyone in the server is building a reputation and rapport with each other. It wasn’t perfect of course, gamers were still Gamers back in the day so there was no shortage of shitty behavior, but it was definitely better than what we have now.
You know what that’s so true and u was around in those days but i basically only played StarCraft brood war, command and conquer, and dawn of war dark crusade so i didn’t get to experience the good days.

Point taken and conceded
Every body was drunk all the time before cars.
Cars are a party foul.
The problem isn’t LED headlights as much as it is aftermarket LED headlights not working with the reflectors intended for halogen ones. This causes them to reflect light up as well as down, making them more blinding to other drivers. A car is only intended for the type of bulb it was sold with, and changing the bulb to a different type is a serious safety hazard.
And secondly for some stupid reason the earlier model cars from American manufacturers with LED headlights used PWM to control the brightness, giving them the flickering appearance (and for many people a headache).
And the worst part is that a good LED headlight is indistinguishable from a halogen one, so there’s really no way to fix their reputation.
We also need regulations on headlight height, most of the popular big pickup trucks and SUVs have their headlights higher up than the roof of my hatchback. It’s not safe to drive when even properly installed lights are shining straight in through the windshield.
I didn’t think that The Last Jedi was all that bad. (For a Star Wars movie)
The Last Jedi is a mid movie that tried interesting things but didn’t stick the landing and was retroactively made into a shit movie by Rise of Skywalker being an absolute trainwreck that destroyed the interesting things TLJ attempted
Attempting interesting things and not sticking the landing is very in line with Star Wars to be clear, see: The Prequels.
Criminalize cars
Criminalize headlights
Criminalize headlights mounted higher than 18" above the ground
Criminalize headlights aimed higher than 18" above the ground
I’m cool with LEDs though, lights that use less power and last longer are cool.
I have no non-political opinions because all of our opinions are shaped by our politics even if we don’t think we have any
beans are lame
All mechanical (fully non computerized) diesel engines are the only internal combustion engines which should be produced and automatic transmissions should be outlawed on new vehicles, and on board computer systems should be kept to an absolute minimum. Under a planned economy all cars will be tanks designed to keep running for 50 years with routine maintenance and anything else is counterrevolutionary.
A large majority of pet owners are actively abusing their animals, either through neglect or through the inherent space limitations of their living space, or through isolation or through mistreating it. They in general don’t have any regard for their animals except as far as they are cute or entertaining to the owner. This especially goes for anyone who keeps dogs in crates, but also any dog and cat owners who don’t have space for their animal to roam- you have no business owning a pet. “B-but my pet loves me!” Of course! You are almost it’s only source of food, companionship or any form of support
No more internal combustion engines should be produced

Music doesn’t need that much bass mixed in it, even some of the stuff that’s on the heavier end. And I’m not even counting all the cars rattling my windows that I want to destroy.
A lot of contemporary sound equipment, especially in cars, really does seem tailored to “how much of an asshole can you be to people trying to sleep” over other priorities.
everything should be closed after dark. lights off, shhh, go to sleep.
tfw you work ~13 hours off the local schedule and rely on conbinis being open 24h
Okay thats actually controversial
Everyone should be legally required to have a dog. No exceptions.
American beers should be banned and only Czech and German style beers made. This would greatly increase the happiness of all
… so you are saying it’s beer only if it’s from Germany or Czechia otherwise it’s just sparkling piss?
Yes.
IPv4 should be outlawed on the internet.
IPv6 is so much worse and we aren’t really running out of addresses.
I have no idea about your RIR, but RIPE ran out of addresses in 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20200402212112/https://www.ripe.net/publications/news/about-ripe-ncc-and-ripe/the-ripe-ncc-has-run-out-of-ipv4-addresses
They have a waiting list for reclaimed addresses: https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/ipv4/ipv4-waiting-list/
Days that first LIR in queue has been waiting: 524
Small towns should somehow make room for even more pizza places. Having 10 is not enough choice and the free market demands it.
i have a kebab place in my town that also does the world’s worst pizzas. that’s it
the next town over has a domino’s, and that’s it for pizza. it’s depressing
One of the few redeeming factors of Sweden is that there are so many pizza places that make better pizzas for cheap than the American chains, that Dominos et al. barely have any presence. Same with Starbucks and cafés.
The bar for pizza to be good is not even that high, I don’t understand how it is constantly missed. It’s tomato sauce, cheese, and carbs. It is harder to make that taste bad than good
Ketchup and American cheese on wonderbread.
This is a pizza
I have three in my small town, all within an 1/8th of a mile
The bad one, the expensive one and a Domino’s
The townies threatened to riot when the Domino’s moved into the old Dunkin’ Donuts building, but they didn’t do jack
Especially because the new Dunkin Donuts building was bigger and the drive-through didn’t demolish anyone’s suspension
animals are as smart as we are and its not because they’re geniuses but because we’re far closer to them than our egos allow us to believe
