This take doesn’t belong in Unpopular Opinions.

Can I ask if you receive these opinions if it is after you share your positive views on “black pilling”?

If you’re posting on the internet in a broadcast form (just as Instagram) about deeply intimate details of your life, you should not generally expect heartfelt nuanced discussion. You’re going to get short attention span pithy responses (as your example shows) or harsh reactionary responses from fringe minority positions (also as your example shows).

Those are internet responses. Those are not representative of real life. This is what the prior poster was telling you.

there’s a TON of hate/distrust for asexual people. “you are just ugly” “you just haven’t met the right person” “why are you celebrating that you don’t have sex? that’s weird” etc.

What kind of conversations are you having with people that would respond like this where they’re learning about how much sex or not-sex you’re having?

I don’t know if its possible, but when reading instead of focusing on the pronunciation of a word (because its not needed at that time when you’re just reading), I skip right to determining the meaning or the concept the word describes. The only time this gives me difficulty is when the author of what I’m reading is trying to do word play or make something rhyme. Since I don’t “hear” it, I don’t get those meanings. This is rare though. Other then that, this gives me the most comprehension when I’m reading in my non-native language.

First, I think you should stop living in an AI generated picture.

Do I have to bring my own brown shirt or will they be provided? /s

Many of these folks also watch prices of scrap metal. If it gets high enough, you’ll see lots of that disappear and turn into money in their pocket. Prices for scrap, especially steel is extremely low right now compared to a few years ago. Many of them are waiting on the price to recover to cash in.

Long ago I ran a Windows Media Center PC in the living room and used the hell out of it. When WMC finally went EOL, I look for alternatives and found Plex. I never got around to setting up a Plex box, and now I see it too is ready for the scrap heap. I think this is what getting old is. You plan on doing something and never get around to it. Time passes much faster up here in age.

If the ending of my story was too abrupt, and you wanted to spend just a bit more time with Touchdown Jesus, here’s the video a passerby caught of Touchdown Jesus burning. You can see the fire fighting vehicle on the left hand side, and the occasional flashes of lighting as the storm that started the fire rages on.

Not far away we had what everyone called “Big Butter Jesus” or “Touchdown Jesus”:

The “Big Butter” part comes from the region’s fascination with making butter sculptures:

The “Touchdown” name, for those that don’t know USA Football (Grid Iron), this is the same gesture the referee makes to signal a valid goal:

However, after being around for years, Touchdown Jesus is no more. I’m not making this up, it was struck by lightning and being made of fiberglass, burned to the ground.

Eye Doctor <> Optometrist

Perfect example of why that is a bad approach. An Optometrist can measure your eyes for basic vision problems and monitor your retina issues, but you’d need an Ophthalmologist if you need surgery on those eyes for something the Optometrist finds.

Have you tried doing a full BIOS update? As in, download from the manufacturer. I wonder if that would overwrite the passwords.

“Look at the silver lining! You were always worried she was cheating on you, now you know for sure she is so you don’t have to worry about that anymore!”

“I’ve exhausted my monthly ration allowance for McEnergy, so I’ll have to pass today.”

Instead of McCafe, it should be “McSoylent”.

A 3.5mm AUX jack takes up a significant amount of space just to connect a few wires that could be connected through USB-C anyway, that space could be used for a bigger battery.

The USB-C is unavailable because its being used to keep the phone powered. Is your solution to force everyone to carry yet another dongle in the form of a splitter?

I don’t disagree with most of your thoughts above, but I’m not seeing a discussion of the merits or detriments of arguing in bad faith. A necessary component of bad faith arguing is the knowledge that you don’t actually hold that opinion that you’re defending even while claiming you do. After your first sentence in your text above you’re speaking to actual beliefs that the person holds, which wouldn’t be bad faith.

Those that argue in bad faith usually abandon consistency in the process. Because they don’t believe in the argument they are presenting, as soon as they are proven wrong they simply pivot to a new, and likely, contradictory argument. This often occurs because their real reason for their desired outcome is abhorrent (and they are aware of that) but they argue a different reason that would have the same outcome. This is prime red meat for racists and misogynists, as an example.

Not in their top tier which is more expensive

Is it only their top tier (4k+more simultaneous streams) now? Last time I was subscribed it was only the lowest tier had ads. Middle tier was ad free.
