If the world is round, why are my tits flat? Checkmate libtards!

Honestly? I’m wondering where all the quality Reddit posters ended up. Some Lemmy comments are even worse than the ones on Reddit, although the lack of gag posts is refreshing.

I loved the difficulty of Diablo and wish the newer games were like that - but then they are once you get to the higher difficulties.

Punting Odies, whacking spiders…

Also it wasn’t until just now that I realized that Odie might be short for ‘Odious’ :p

Hampsterdance!

I just don’t understand why we can’t have mid engine trucks anymore.

Imagine all that space with a smaller footprint!

The holodomor as it is reported in the West appears to be a myth. There was a widespread famine where more Kazakhs and Russians died than Ukrainians, and the USSR did try to send Ukraine provisions but not enough. Also there is under reporting in the West of kulaks burning their fields instead of giving them up to the govt. Stalin even thought the West might have been responsible but that seems to just be Stalin being Stalin.

That’s not exactly a genocide, just more incompetence as usual.

The man whose work is most often cited has been refuted by his own wife and the initial publishing came with doctored photos that he removed when they were called out.

Can I have it? :D

Ro-butts! And govt procured provisions purchased in bulk if money is tight.

In the 1920s, many Americans who were put to work could not be paid because ‘the govt had no money’ but from remembrances of those who lived, they never ate better. I’m talking multiple huge fried pork chops per person, etc, but no spending money. It should cost even less to feed seniors, though I’d worry about the diet becoming too inflammatory.

You’ll just end up like China with millions of undocumented children, mostly women. Children who are local get to go to school as long as they are registered to live with a local family, so there is no impediment there. Also you will have tremendous flouting of the law unless you create a perfect sterilizing agent that is reversible and deploy it en masse.

None of these are unpopular takes other than the first one. It’s no one’s business who you fuck. We have no fault divorce for those who want out for any reason. The state doesn’t care about why you divorce, and it seems like many successful people have multiple families so it also seems like it wouldn’t be too difficult to trip past that either.

Edit: the climate change one is also unpopular since all that will happen is the loss of diversity and people who live near the shore will have to move inland. There will be more extreme weather events but it’s not like we’re going to turn into Venus. Things are just going to get more expensive and classist and racist.

I’m upvoting because this should actually be unpopular. Intrusive ads are bad but less intrusive ones let you know who the patrons are of the otherwise highly expensive services you enjoy. That all of this gets paid for with ad money is nothing less than a miracle.

If you don’t want to see ads then don’t give them your notice! I like being informed when new products go to market.

Milk chocolate on greasy pepperoni pizza is delicious and fuck your mother!

If other nations can have billionaires and we can’t, and our country is vast and rich, we will be at a disadvantage.

The WANT of money is corrupting itself. Actually having the money itself is not needed. People who want money will destroy your little system, and throw your country into chaos, ruination and poverty, united by a conspiracy of common interests.

I would rather just regulate what needs regulating, within reason, with a gentle hand, and only a strong hand with the worst of violations. For the record, I would be much harsher than the us has tended to be when it comes to pollution, etc.

As long as you keep it in your own family instead of pruning your neighbors tree…

I’d give loopholes for good works and define them specifically

If you really do mean no exceptions then that is genuinely an unpopular view.

In which fundamentalist hell hole is that an unpopular idea?

Define porn.

Generally when the us is hated it is intruding against democratic forces

Are the poor buying new cars? With a greater supply of evs, the poor will buy used evs which require less maintenance, other than new batteries that can be financed.

EDIT: to be fair, you used to be able to buy a used foreign car for $500 (foreign for reliability) and even the cheapest ev (with actual usable range) costs 10 times as much, mostly because of the battery. The fuel costs are lower but the up front costs are higher.
