Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

Hillary would have won the election against most other Republicans.

Agreed. And Bernie would've lost to most other Republicans, but beaten Trump.

Yeah, I'm actually inclined to agree with both of these tales.

Jordan Peterson is wrong sometimes but is generally a good psychologist.

This is the dude that actively refused to respect his trans students pronouns because "free speech".

Note that this refusal is within contexts of debates about the issue itself and is otherwise hypothetical.  No one claimed he called them the wrong thing.

So he swore he wouldn't respect any trans students but its okay because...

He doesn't have any trans students. Try applying this logic to the N word or something.

You mean if someone wanted to be called the N word?    No, I'd refuse.

No. If someone refused to not call someone the n word.

Comparing being called the wrong pronoun to being called a racial slur semmes rather hyperbolic...

The only generation that really exists is the Baby Boomer Generation.  There is no such thing as a Gen-Xer, Millennial, or Gen-Zer.

Really, I think that generations in general are complete nonsense. Why should I relate to someone born in 1985, ten years before me, than someone born in 2000, five years after me? And do I really have that much in common with someone born the same year as me in a completely different location and socioeconomic class?

Warm weather is less stressful than cold weather

isn't that the more common opinion?i mean i prefer colder weather personally.like below 60 degrees..but seems like most people don't

Atlas has a weird love of cool climates for some reason

This. Except for Goldwater, like everyone else on here hates hot weather.

Sunburns, the inability to strip down past the skin, profuse sweat, no snow to throw snowballs at in the face of adversity or ski on or build things with, no fog.

At least the cold has those, especially regarding the ability to layer up in the worst of the worst.

Wait, you consider fog to be a positive? Why?

Barry Goldwater wasn't that racist.

I didn't think that was a controversial statement.

Having security cameras in public places is not a violation of privacy.

3) The international posters are mostly way better than the American ones.

I was under the impression that this was the conventional opinion.

People who believe that child rape justifies the death penalty are even worse people than the child rapist is.

That IS the dumbest thing I've ever read on this forum.

[Goldwater]

Life without parole doesn't make any sense to me. If you have decided that someone is too dangerous or has done something so bad that they can never be reformed and reintegrated into society, you might as well give them the death penalty.

I love candy corn.

As long as it's not being used to circumvent a ban, I don't really have s problem with sockpuppeting.

[Goldwater]

I have a take so hot that it might cause a fire so I’m not sure if I want to share it.

When has that stopped you before?

Artists making a cover song of "All I Want For Christmas Is You" should be locked up. There is no good reason to have so many versions of the same song.

This. Nobody can beat Queen Mariah. Nobody.

Does this version get an exception?
