Controversial Opinions/Thoughts

[(Anonymous)]

Cuz I got one.

Re: Controversial Opinions/Thoughts

[(Anonymous)]

Piracy is only acceptable if the thing in question is literally unavailable in your country, and I've never seen any other argument against it that didn't boil down to 'But I want it!' There are plenty of entertainment options if you're broke, it's not like if you don't illegally download Deadpool you will never be able to watch a movie again.

Re: Controversial Opinions/Thoughts

Same, pretty much.

I mean... at the very least, get movies from the library. That's how people did it before you could easily download stuff.

Information wants to be free.

What you're describing is "understandable." That's not the same as acceptable.

Re: Controversial Opinions/Thoughts

Yep. And I wish I weren't too cowardly to say this unanon.

I wonder how many posts it'll take before the OP of this thread admits they only care about piracy if it affects them.

Re: Controversial Opinions/Thoughts

I only pirate stuff I can't get on dvd, whether because it's not available, it technically is but was released once 15 years ago and you might find a used copy going for $200 on ebay once a year, or it's only available dubbed in Swahili with multi-gen google translate gibberish subtitles. My internet connection and computer are both slow, so if it's only available to stream I get friends with faster internet to pirate things. That said, I own upwards of 200 dvds and maybe 5 pirated shows/movies.

Now, if you're talking musical theatre bootlegs, that's a different story, but if they offered official soundboard recordings after every show I'd buy those too.

Meh.

If I wanna check it out, but have misgivings and I don't wanna drop $60 on it, you bet your ass I'll pirate.

If it's something I absolutely LOVE, but can't afford at the time and/or have pressing matters that need money more, then I'll pirate.

Judge away. Cause you ain't gonna stop me.

I've become less accepting of trans people over time, but feel shitty about it. It's like a knee-jerk reaction when someone brings it up in their bio. I keep it to myself obviously, but the feelings are still there.

This isn't internet unpopular, but it seems to be RL unpopular:

I'm tired of people with disabilities being lorded over as miracles. It's tiring. And why is it that if you comment on an inspiration porn article saying "I find this patronizing," all the people praying to Jesus in the comments suddenly call you a bitch? Talk about hypocritical.

The only thing that makes me uneasy is when parents of kids with autism and other disabilities come across as demeaning, because I don't want to tell them they're patronizing their own kids.

Just... those of us who are "specially different" (gag) don't exist to give you brownie points. Stop it.

Lesbians are ~*~completely pure and flawless stuff~*~ grates my nerves.

Everyone should be given a basic, livable, wage just for existing.

Women are just as likely (or more likely) to be assholes to women online.

[(Anonymous)]

I assume someone is going to figure out a way to blame this on men, but it looks like women are assholes too!

"50% of misogynistic tweets from women."

"A 2014 study from cosmetics firm Dove found that over five million negative tweets were posted about beauty and body image. Four out of five were sent by women."

Due to checks and balances and the fact that he's never been consistent in his entire life, I don't think Trump would make the worst president in the world. However, the act of electing him as president after the shit he's said and the way he's behaved in this election would ruin the country forever.

I think it is more important that everyone have some health insurance than that some people can have great insurance. I'm even willing to take worse coverage if it means that people who don't have insurance can get some.

I think healthcare is a basic human right and universal health care should be the norm. This may mean that the quality goes down as it has in some countries with universal health care. I don't care. It is still a moral outrage that anyone wouldn't have access to health care.

And I judge anyone who disagrees and who acts as if them having the best health care is more important than everyone having access.

I think people who write/draw child porn need to be in jail. It being fictional doesn't make them any less sickening.

Using cosplay photos and official merchandise props in character aesthetic photo sets is cheating.

DRAFT SCHWARZENEGGER

[(Anonymous)]

I'm just going to say it. Trump has terrible approval ratings, and a lot of Republicans will stay home rather than even vote. Clinton has better approval ratings, but also bad--too low to ensure her election.

These are two "unelectable" candidates. Many Republicans are planning to vote Clinton to stop Trump; some Democrats are going to vote for Trump to stop Hillary. These candidates suck so hard that each party's base will cross party lines to try to inflict the other guy on America.

There's a third option.

If we can get enough legislative leaders on board, we can ratify a constitutional amendment over the summer getting rid of that "natural born citizen" requirement, which has been a headache for several candidates anyway. There will still be the required 14 years of residency, I suppose.

And we get Arnold Schwarzenegger to run.

Popular enough to beat Trump and Clinton at their own game. Actual executive experience. A realist on climate change, a Republican but not a movement conservative, a Catholic, and a physical fitness advocate. He's the best option to swoop in and save us from Trump & Clinton. And the only thing stopping him is a clause in the Constitution.

Who's with me?

Buying second hand books/games/movies/whatever doesn't give you any bragging rights, nor does it make you better than someone who downloaded an unauthorized copy.

You're not supporting the industry, which is the fucking point, so get off your high horse.

It's selfish to have more than two kids.

I don't think there is any moral difference in eating different types of meat. If you want to be against eating any meat, fine. But people who eat, say, steak or chicken and then judge people in other countries who eat dog are ridiculous. There is no difference. An animal is an animal.
