Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
Depends what your job was. If you're my 747 pilot I would be outraged if you refused a drugs test when asked.
There's a time and a place for regulated drugs tests.
Here is one guy who should've been drug tested before doing any work. "Several of his friends recalled him going to work after a night of doing drugs, with one of them saying he would never allow Duntsch to operate on him."

Holy shit as if I needed another reason to never go to a hospital in Texas. What a read
The best (worst?) quote was the doctor who said that Duntsch acted in one surgery as if he was deliberately trying to do the opposite of everything you are supposed to. That made him think it was deliberate and not just being "out of it" or incompetent.
