Lemmy users project their toxicity towards Reddit. This place can be quite hostile if you don’t echo the ‘correct’ ideals.
I’m frustrated more people are complacent with the state of the world, including myself.
I prefer rap music by white artists because it’s less likely to feature the N word.
Desktop computers are way better and more fun than using phone for browsing, wikipedia, news, and Lemmy
I rarely use my phone for anything other than texting. I like using my desktop computer to browse and post.
Abortion should be mandatory.
People keep arguing over whether abortion should be legal or not, but my opinion is that it should be forced on everyone whether they want it or not. Late term abortions up to 100 years after birth should also be considered for inclusion in this rule.
One of my favourite activities is finding controversial opinions, then taking an opinion so extreme that it makes everyone else look like a centrist.
Graveyards are a disgusting waste of space. Their existence communicates to society that many dead people are more entitled to space on this Earth than some living people will ever have.
I think 10 years ago this would’ve been unpopular, but today maybe not so much:
systemdis great software. I don’t use distros that refuse to ship it. Especially the init system. Thanks, Lennart!Black liquorice tastes good
too many dudes in this thread thinking eugenics and pedophilia are unpopular. They’re very popular and that’s a very bad thing
Jack black isn’t funny at all. He’s worse, incredibly fucking irritating and annoying and a try hard. He epitomizes mainstream US “comedy”; obvious, loud, overstating the delivery of jokes with overwrought physical humor. He and Horatio Sanz must have studied under the same Sithlord. Can’t stand him.
Suicide is perfectly acceptable and should be a right, we should all have the choice of when we want to go. Some pain, physical or emotional is too much, or loss can be too great.
I don’t care if I could or can get better, I should be able to down some hemlock and leave.
The purpose of government is to take care of the people. I’d rather pay more taxes to make sure my fellow men are fed, clothed, sheltered, educated and cared for because it improves security for my loved ones.
It should also keep us from trying to exploit or attack each other
I know this really grinds some peoples gears but by golly I love big government.
The question of ‘What is the purpose of government?’ is simultaneously deeply important to society and yet rarely, if ever, addressed in a useful context. I have watched people argue about multiple policies, speaking past each other the whole time, just because they had different baseline assumptions as to the purpose of government and couldn’t even see their opponents had a different definition.
Correct, others have different definitions of taking care of the people, which I don’t disagree with completely but I think takes a lower priority to what I believe.
Why is that unpopular? It’s literally the main stated purpose of most governments.
Most people on Lemmy aren’t as kind or open-minded as they like to appear. There’s plenty of hate here on this side of the aisle, but it gets excused because they believe they’re “on the correct side.”
tl;dr: You’re just as hateful and close-minded as the people you claim to be fighting. Same behavior, different colored hat.
The Beatles suck.
The Eagles are not as amazing as everyone thinks.I find it difficult to respect the way we exist in society. Most of us in the west enjoy what we have because someone elsewhere is being exploited. The general pride and vanity we have is unjustified and we should be using that power for good instead. We are focused on the
rightwrong things.You could say that this opinion isn’t unpopular, but just try bringing it up in conversation. Many don’t want to know.
