Star Wars: Rogue One is evidence of sjw gone wild with its strong focus on the Chinese gay space dads.

That's awfully presumptuous of you. Why do you assume they are dads?

I was banned for posting my unpopular opinion. i get that it sucks to be banned & i could add something to the OP about transphobia, racism & sexism not being any more okay to post here than on the rest of the forums, but i figure that people would honestly know that there aren't any special rules protecting the statements in this thread. i mean, half the posts are people trying to call each other out on why their unpopular opinions are dumb or unfounded, so i'm guessing it is obvious enough that nobody really just gets to dump an opinion piece without feedback, or if it is really bad, mod consequence like probations or a ban.

Tiggum posted:If a game has unskippable dialogue or cutscenes then it had better be the best, most fun game ever to make up for making me sit through that dumb, pointless bullshit. My unpopular opinion is that I enjoy dumb game plots/cut-scenes while fully understanding that they are dumb and written poorly. A good example is the game Final Fantasy X. The plot is pretty dumb and has a ton of melodrama, but I love melodrama (as long as it's not too ridiculous) and dumb plots that keep escalating until the entire world is at stake. WampaLord posted:Outside of crackling or other obvious distortions, I have never been able to tell audio quality apart. Either audio is playing or it's being played incorrectly, I honestly can't tell what "better" audio is. With regard to headphones/earphones specifically, I find that I can definitely tell a difference between, say, $30 and $150 earphones, but can't tell the difference with anything above that (assuming that all the earphones in question are considered good for their price range). This guy I knew in college had some $500 earphones that looked like little drills and I couldn't tell the difference between them than my $150 ones.

Headphones and speakers are like booze. You can tell the difference between the crap and something nice for sure, but after a certain point you are just a sucker.

That and there's a certain point where you spend more just to say you spent more. That's true of all things, though; there are so, so many people who gauge their self-worth on how much money they've wasted on frivolous luxury. Sorry kids but the only thing you really got out of those $700 cables was some bragging rights most people are going to be unimpressed by.

That thing where someone tested to see if audiophiles could tell the difference between expensive cables and a bent coat hanger was pretty funny.

The best stuff!" That might be a bit of exaggeration but I remember reading about that too. Wine tasters had absolutely no god damned clue what they were talking about. There were incidences where they would say that a white wine with food coloring added was totally a red wine, we can tell by how it tastes!

You paid a lot for earphones to be honest. 50€ (so I imagine a lot less $ because they're a Mexican brand [  ]) Shures are basically as good as it gets sound-wise. I'm sure they could sell them at a profit for 30$.

the context here is that guys commonly have a pretty heavily slanted age-preference in on-line dating. as an example, the last two guys to have posted profiles for critique in the online dating thread, had age-range preferences that were, iirc, -10/+3 and -7/+1, and these kind of slanted age-preferences are just really off-putting imo i don't think there is anything wrong with a 30 year old happening to date a 40 year old, but specifically seeking out younger people than yourself instead of an age-range centred on your own age if off-putting. a 35 year old guy with a -10/+10 age preference - whatever. a 35 year old guy with an age preference set to -10/+3 - off-putting.

A lot of women do the opposite though. When I was on ok Cupid it wasn't uncommon for younger women to actually not even have their own age set in the preferences. Like, 25 year olds with ages 28-38 set as preferences or whatever. Although I see where you are coming from. The age thing is weird. I think a lot of dudes prefer to date someone around their own age, but when you are filling that thing out there is this little voice in the back of your head (it's your dick) saying "what if some 23 year old was going to want to bang me and now they don't cause I set that in my preferences" I tried to expand my horizons and look more open minded by expanding my age range upwards and got nothing but messages from women 10 years older than me. Which is fine, but ya know. We all do it to some degree.

If both people are 18 or older I don't give a single poo poo how far apart their ages are. If they are getting something they need from each other then like whatever, I don't care, make each other happy. Quite frankly it's none of my drat business.

Like, 25 year olds with ages 28-38 set as preferences or whatever. yeah, women for sure do the opposite on average, and i can understand a heavy slant in either direction being off-putting, it just isn't the one i'm seeing. i don't think a tiny age-range slant is a red flag, like a 28 year old might type in 24-30 simply because 30 is a scary number, or whatever, who knows, but when people have a heavy slant in either direction that's weird to me, and those seem common to me.

The fact that they call it whiskey has always bugged me. Like, you literally can't even taste the whiskey in it. I secretly kind of like fireball. I know it's wrong but I love cinnamon.
