I hear this criticism all the time, but I've never seen it happen in 5 companies I've worked for so far. Usually there's an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

Those asmr mukbang videos. I can't stand asmr sounds in general, eating makes it worse

I wouldn't say he's a source of information at all. His videos are opinion pieces. As far as I've noticed he rarely gives any hard numbers, or claims to know things outside of the mainstream news.

It doesn't hurt you so don't worry about it

Eh, not so sure. Beauty standards propagate, and pressure to conform to those standards is real.
That's just how fashion works. In this case fashion requires disabling a functional part of your body. It's at least a bit icky.

I hate how it's framed as a bad thing. Intentional or not, real estate prices falling is a good thing.

I just wish we could adopt the plastic material like Australia and Canada

At least then you have the absolute moral high ground.
" we need to eradicate drug trade" is not a good call to arms, since consuming psychoactive substances is the most human thing ever, practiced by a wide range of the population
"we need to get rid of murderers and human traffickers" is clear and unambiguous, and would actually make more people turn their back on the cartels

If you want to find out if someone is a conservative or a reactionary, ask about environment. Someone who's into conserving things will want to conserve nature as well

They've been trying to use a nuke since the Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2022, but can't find one that works

There's still people into boats, but it's not very popular compared to trains/planes/cars. Which is kinda strange, there has never been a time with more shipping traffic. Maybe because ports these days are fairly inaccessible to observers

Potentially unpopular opinion - the term "autism" and "ASD" have expanded way beyond their original clinical meaning. It doesn't help that even the official definition is so broad as to be useless. Add to that the cooption by the Tiktok culture to describe any "quirky" behavior, and you get the current situation where it's hard to find a person that doesn't exhibit at least some "autistic" traits
