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/

This is the most Lemmy ass thread imaginable.
A bunch of wannabe hipsters thinking that they're so enlightened. Because being against the grain is the height of personality.
but only one of those groups has a massive backing from the worlds biggest corporations. our safe space doesn't come with private jets filled with hookers and cocaine.
but go head, they need you to defend them here, someone has to.
Imagine thinking that's a valid response to what I said.
you expect to much, from your own first comment.
What groups? Not everything is an "us Vs them" scenario. What did I say that'll make you think that?
How is this relevant. Except for proving my point that's your a bunch of wannabe hipsters circlejerking each other about how against the grain you are.
What?
And how am I defending them? Whoever "they" are. Because you haven't said that.
I can only imagine your brain is so rotted by the constant "us Vs them" thinking, that anyone who doesn't fall neatly into your camp, must obviously be supporting the other side.
Apparently it takes a real personality to stop watching advertisements. To even know it's possible let alone how to.
Complaining about advertising. Another one for the bingo sheet.
(Apologies for advertising bingo)
I'm not complaining because I usually don't have to except in a rare occasion I have to watch YouTube for something and even then...
...and even then I'm griping about the false concept of a soul of google for which, sure, that's a facet but just a minor such for the absolute worst thing to ever to exist as the will of the ignorant billions of people lurching through their choice of slavery not even aware of it existing to their worst kind of exploitation of of them and their real soul.
And no one can genuinely dislike popular shit just because it doesn't appeal to them or anything. No one ever thinks for themselves.
There's a difference between disliking something because it doesn't appeal to you. And actively having disdain for something that doesn't appeal to you.
Personally, I have disdain against the super bowl because it costs us taxes that could be going to much more productive things for society. I think it would be fine if we didn't spend so much money on it, and I have nothing against people who enjoy it.
You could argue the revenue brought in from hosting the super bowl replaces the tax money spent on it by the host city, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The NFL pockets most of the revenue, and the host city, itself, often loses the tax money it invested.
I don't think tax money should be involved. The NFL should cover the costs, as they make an insane amount of profit from it.
No, there literally is not. You can grumble all you want, the rest of us have more important things to worry about than the Super Bowl.
Clearly not if you're here.
