I don't know if this is actually unpopular or just an old person stance I'm going against but here goes.

Wearing pajamas, especially pajama pants, in public shouldn't be looked down upon. Pajamas are also clothes and thus can be worn anywhere. They serve the exact same function as jeans or other casual wear. Just because they're worn more often to sleep doesn't mean it's suddenly "gross" or "trashy" to wear them out and about.

This applies to many situations, going to the store, seeing a movie, going to school (unless there is a dress code), going for a walk, and many other things. As long as you're properly covered and aren't violating a dress code or are being disrespectful (wedding or funeral) there's nothing wrong with it.

Coriander root is a wonderful thing, it has a better flavor and aroma than onions without stinging your eyes, you should try it with stir-fries, stews, steaks, and more.

It’s so dry and crumbly I don’t understand why people love it so much. It’s ok when you’re eating it with the filling of the pie, but the ends of the crust are harder to eat because the balance between the amount of crust and filling is skewed in a way that the crust is much more predominant. I’ve known people to say that it’s the best part of pie, they are crazy. How is the best part of pie the flavorless dry dough and not the filling with all of the seasoning and flavors? It’s absurd.

I'm tired of hearing it. From professional athletes winning it all and shouting it from the rooftops to Joe Blow getting lucky on a scratchy and yelling to themselves in their 04' Civic. Before you know it grandma is going to be saying "let's effin' go!" at bingo. So, for the love all that is good let's please come up with some other saying. We are better than this.

Of course, displaying books with their spines all even and at the edge of the bookshelf is aesthetically pleasing.

But it's not worth the added effort needed to dust/clean behind the books.

If the books are pushed all the way back to the wall, they'll be a bit uneven, but it's so much easier to keep the area clean and tidy. You can even use the space in front of the books to display some other little trinkets.

I am just talking about books at home.

Libraries, bookshops etc. should still favour aesthetics.

Take it from someone who speaks from experience. Every personality test I take labels me as the creative-like type, and so far it's living up to it.

However, being so creative makes it easier to imagine frightening and horrific things. Whenever I am walking and there's a dark space, I feel a need to turn on my flashlight. It also makes me feel vulnerable, like something could hurt me any second.

This isn't even talking about perfectionism. Whenever I do something art-related, it feels like it needs to be perfect. It makes me judge myself, but it puts me in a paradox because it inflates my ego.

Overall, while it's not horrible, a stellar imagination isn't always good. Take it from me, who is labeled in that category.

Similarly to people that are dating to marry. I think it’s great to make your intentions clear from the start and with dating apps being so popular nowadays you have the option to state that on your profile.

But actively looking for a relationship seems limiting in a sense that when you go on a date or you come across someone who piques your interest your only end goal is a relationship and not how the person genuinely makes you feel. Based off my own anecdotal experiences some of the best relationships i’ve had was when I wasn’t looking for one because I went into things with no expectations.

I’m not the biggest music man lover, but I enjoy it for the catchy music and fond memories of being in it. However, narratively, the second act sucks.

Marian and Harold don’t really have any good character development. They say the characters changed, but all of the development happens between act one and two. We don’t really get to see much of Marian warning up to Harold, or why Harold suddenly wants to go straight other than liking Marian and her family.

Don’t even get me started on the stupid thing with the book. If she took the page out, why did she still give it to the mayor? She was the one pursing him to give him the book right before Wells Fargo wagon(the act one closer).

The one saving grace of act two is the music. Songs like shipoopi, pick a little reprise, and till there was you are good songs. Just wish they were supported with a better storyline.

Unpopular opinion: Shrimp is a great road trip snack! 1. It has a built-in handle. 2. Healthy and high in protein. 3. Bite-sized and mess-free. 4. Affordable, pre-cooked shrimp is easy to find at any grocery store.

Immaculate casting and exceptional work from everyone aside from Simon pegg who is way out of his depth, not his fault but he has zero range and just plays a hammed up version of his mission impossible side character.

The gloves they wear are handicaps for the players. They are basically glue and in my opinion overestimate how good they can catch. Not saying they’re bad at catching, it’s just it’s not impressive when they have gloves on. Not that it’s cheating, obviously, but it’s a huge advantage.

It makes me so mad when I see people humanizing inanimate objects like vehicles and get obsessively attached to these sorts of things. People will spend literally millions of dollars to preserve some rusted old ship rotting away in a dock when that money could have fed thousands of starving people or have funded important medical research. I’m specifically talking about the S.S United States here and the recent backlash over its announced scrapping. This ship has literally no purpose whatsoever to benefit society and it’s purely sentimental attachment keeping it up and running. We need to stop spending our time and effort preserving things like this and fund things like important medical research or feeding starving people who desperately need our help.Does spending millions of dollars on a rotting ship feed anyone? No. Does it cure cancer? No. Does it appease people’s emotions? Yes! Although it’s sad that she’s being scrapped, this is not an important issue.

a quarter now in a game i watch ended 29-27, the difference between 27-27 or 20-20 is so miniscule. that you had no tension what so ever. in a set base system like in volleyball it would make any part of the game full of hype and tension, not just the last.. will also open a room for upset while we all know that surprises in basketball between most of the sports are tbe smallest...

Unless the hoodie is worn on its own, the pockets tend to get in the way of versatility. I like to layer up and part of that is throwing a coat over top, I also religiously follow the rule of 3rds when getting dressed, which means i tuck In my mid layer and bottom layer. This is where pockets can ruin it. With my Champion reverse weave the pocket is big and stiff enough that even tucked in the proportions don't look weird at all, but my reebok hoodie on the other hand, is awful when tucked in. I feel like if the pockets weren't there is could use it in more outfits, plus I never put anything in my hoodie pockets because they're just not as secure as pants pockets. They can look pretty nice if the hoodie is your outer layer though and do give a great place fir your hands to go, but i almost never wear a hoodie as an outer layer. If it's cool enough for a hoodie i usually toss on a denim or canvas jacket over the top.

Have you ever played a game with all of the cheats on and no longer had a challenge to face? well, imagine a future where you don't need to work because robots and automation do everything, where everything is free and you have absolutely zero responsibility. Sounds the same.

People think this is automatically a good thing, however I conclude the opposite.

A world with zero responsibility and work will lead to zero productivity as it is wont be necessary, which can be nice but it will make people lazy and have no purpose. Imagine you have 24 hours a day that is completely free, 24/7. Sounds nice eh? Well, you will not value your free time anymore in a world like this. The reason we humans value our free time and do things that we enjoy in it right now is because we LACK free time, but in a world where there is an abundance of free time we will have no idea what to do with that free time and waste it. We feel good when we think we are productive, and then we enjoy our free time afterwards. You will never feel good working the entire day for a long time, or having a lot of free time for a long time. Even right now, when people have an extra hour or two to kill they spend it endlessly scrolling on their phone, why would the same happen in this scenario?

"Oh I'll do my hobbies, party and go on vacations and enjoy my free time" is an argument that is widely used on this topic, but people forget that supply and demand applies to everything. If you work on your hobby every day, you will get bored of it. If you go on a vacation all the time, you will be accustomed and bored of it. If you party all the time, you will get tired of it. There is no good in a world like this.

Retired people are also an example people use, but that's because they have spent their last 45 years working their butts off for enough to retire, and even then they have a limited amount of money.

Another thing, people will not have accomplished anything. Nobody will have a career, nobody would have paid off the debts they slaved away for, nobody would have lead a team into greatness or anything to boast about to others.

I think WALL-E is a great depiction of what will realistically happen in a world such as this. Technology kills productivity so much that humans will get confined to a single chair with a screen in front of them to kill time.

What I'm trying to say is, everything needs balance. Even if you work 4 hours a day in a world like this, it would be enough to keep you mentally sane from all of the time you have in the world.

I dislike the ending because it feels unearned. Bruce (played by Jim Carrey) didn't deserve to keep his job or reconcile with Grace (played by Jennifer Aniston). Grace, at the very least, deserved to have her prayer granted—to stop loving him. Throughout the movie, Bruce behaves selfishly and vindictively, and the story seemed to be building toward his realisation that the world doesn't revolve around him. Instead, the ending undermines that arc by handing Bruce everything he wants. There's not enough accountability or learning, and Grace just gets her toxic partner back.

We glorify being exceptional, but most people live happy, meaningful lives without being extraordinary. The pressure to ‘be special’ is exhausting and overrated. What’s wrong with just being good enough?

I cannot contain my rage any longer. Brie cheese is to cheeses, what vanilla is to spices.

It has no character, no flavor, no intrinsic advantage over any other cheese.

Once again I have been scammed into buying one. I picked one with a fancy castle name, it has a fancy packaging, it even have some like, charcoal colored mold covering it that make it looks like it was found hiding behind the stone of a church belonging to one of the old saints of europe, but it tastes like fricking AIR.

Camemberts are the superior cheeses. There, the subject is done.

Constantly seeing people who just turned 19 or 20 years old getting married right out of high school. I always find the people who do this have a social media following who need the ego boost for their socials. Posting photos of their rings and shit. You’re either rich, privileged, or just putting yourself in debt early on. This is some of the most boneheaded decision making possible for your early 20’s and there’s no argument to be made that jumping into a commitment like that isn’t foolish. You’ll be divorced within 1 year realistically, but congrats on your follower count!

I’m not sure why Spades isn’t more popular outside (in my experience) the US urban community. It’s a really fun game, and imo, it’s way more exciting to watch skilled spades players battle it out than skilled poker players. It’s mostly the money involved that makes poker interesting. Ppl like watching poker w/o even understanding the rules because it’s exciting to watch someone either win big or get fucked.

I always see under anything related to a serious crime or misjustice the same thing over and over again; who should we blame? There is an armchair psychologist, trauma tracker, parent blamer, scapegoat giver for every major issue people go through generally, but when it comes to criminals people seem to come out of the woodworks.

I may be missing the point here, but I just don't feel the need to place blame in such a pedestal when it comes to a discussion about some psychopath, killer, or whatever some bad egg did. Whether the person had abusive parents, a brain injury, bad genes, violent games, their uncle was too touchy, they grew up poor, their older brother did drugs, it all doesn't mean anything EXCEPT for possibly doing studies that may show some incredibly high correlation with specific crimes to specific behaviors or lifestyles that you can intervene in.

Why is scapegoating so important to modern discourse? I get the human need to find a reason behind despicable actions and speculate or gossip, but it seems rather shallow to just state or guess something like that. In the end, I also feel like most people miss the forest for the trees when they try to find blame. The point of the justice system, as I see it, is ultimately to remove/move people who cannot function in modern society until they can be fixed/rehabilitated or if they cannot, until they no longer pose a threat to society, which can be forever occasionally. Even if someone had a clear cut case where you can pinpoint the basis for their actions, whether it was a brain tumor or parents with some cult belief system, it does not matter if you can't remove the root problem. You simply have to move them somewhere safer and do what you can to protect everyone else.

Note: I don't expect people to be having an entire CJ studies or philosophy debate in comments either, I just thought it was something interesting to take notice in. As for rehabilitative and punitive justice discourse, that's another can of worms maybe for a later post to see people's opinions.

The sentiment that people are ungrateful or anti-social because they accept small gestures without showing gratitude is weird.

When I hold the door for someone in public, I don't stand around long enough for them to say "Thank You" to me fully if they were to. I immediately turn around and keep moving on with my life. When I help a stranger in Public with anything, I turn around and leave immediately after. I don't need a "Thank You." To some extent, I leave before they even get the chance.

I help people because I want to, not because I want a pat on the head in return. There's no transaction. I didn't think altruism was meant to be transactional; It's strange to see anyone complain about their "good deed" not being returned with gratitude.

edit: btw I grew up in a large city where this may have informed my opinion a bit. People can be cold and hostile to strangers in those places.

I’ll never understand why people keep their valuable phones/ wallets in their BACK POCKET of their pants.

• Sitting on your phone/ bulky wallet is wild, can’t be comfortable.
• risking damage to your phone when sitting
• way higher chance of getting stolen while out in public. Back pockets are not that big.
• stuff falls out of them way easier when in the back pocket

Just keep that stuff in your front pocket ffs.

Even though we all like to meme it like our lives depend on it, Buenos Aires - or shall I say, Boatenos Aires - just pioneered an idea that can revolutionize global trade and when looking at the potential in going off-shore it's hard to dispute that we have a city that has a lot to gain from it right here in America, and that is San Francisco. Except for the obvious benefits like the ability to evade most natural disasters and unbearable Californian climate, as the international capital of the tech industry which is already breaking its own globalization records, SF being able to navigate the seas can get it to any hub it desires. For instance, let's say a leading enterprise based in the silicon valley wants to open a subsidiary in Xiamen, China. Instead of having online conferences and going through the logistical bureaucratic nightmare of the process from afar, a portable SF will be able to place-

Shoutout to u/RoyalSeraph for the idea!

What happened to a whole street lit up with lights? Houses dressed head to toe in multicolor bulbs and shimmering icicles.

Now we can just plug in whatever famous cartoon character thats wearing a Santa hat a call it a day? Is that a minion with antlers? I'll take 6.

Oh and if the inflatable is taller than the house that's worth a article in your local paper.

When even November starts people alway make a fuss like “retails workers have to suffer that Mariah Carey song… blah blah blah” but in the last couple years since this started because I big topic I think I can count on one hand the amount of times I heard that song played in stores

Stores usually play knock off Christmas classic by various artist. I heard like 3 “this Christmas” covers and original Christmas songs, I’ve never heard of, from random pop stars.

I went 6 hours of Black Friday shopping today and I didn’t hear the song once. I think Yall just like comparing, and as far as Christmas songs go AIWFCIY is pretty decent.

Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree is the true annoying over played Christmas song. That song has been prevalent every Christmas for my entire existence. I don’t understand why it’s so beloved it genuinely so annoying and it’s really the “over played Christmas song” y’all make AIWFCIY out to be.

No matter what the news or journalists say on the random sports shows, Caleb Williams is a solid quarterback. Anything otherwise is simply out of bad faith: he’s making rookie mistakes like any other QB would.

Now, after the firm disclaimer, I have to say this:

Caleb Williams is a captain. He is what many players on his team consider to be a leader. He has the patch on his Jersey, that timeout is his call to make. After all, he’s the one moving the ball downfield, he’s the one who got sacked. Yes, the coach still has the major responsibility to call a timeout asap, but Caleb got himself sacked, he should be asking for the time out.

And now, instead of partial blame being of Caleb for not calling it, he’s sliding under any of it because of the lack of accountability. Caleb should at least know he is why they ended up there in the first place, and he ultimately made it so another guy has to go Job shopping during Christmas, and he’s now got to deal with an inexperienced (while promising, if done right) Interim Coach.

I don’t want to be invited out to eat for a breakup. I don’t want to get dressed and leave my house for a breakup.

Just text me and tell me you’re done and that’s fine. I don’t need a visit or a phone call it is fine.

My only exception is married/engaged or living together.

I've never understood engagement parties. Celebrating deciding to get married is what the wedding is for, right? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me to celebrate the commitment decision twice. For example, you probably wouldn't throw a party for deciding to go to college, you would throw a party when you graduate.

I haven't even seen the fourth, but the third was already boring as hell. Ironically. The second had some really dumb moments in it and was also too needy. The first one was clean cut, sharp, effective. Like the first Taken movie. I wish they'd just stop milking things to death.
