Post a controversial opinion

i think ogmor is OTM

"I'm sorry if you're offended" is great but only as a backhand when the stakes are low

Mordy otm. The only reason the environmental crisis here on Earth is a crisis is because it threatens human life. I don't care about spoiling the landscape of Jupiter.

You don't know what kind of life is or isn't on Jupiter jesus christ

Unrelated to thread topic but while we're discussing pass-agg communication, I came across this beautiful little number yesterday:

In 1964, when King criticized the FBI for inadequately responding to civil rights complaints, Hoover publicly stated that King was “the most notorious liar in the country.” King responded diplomatically, “I cannot conceive of Mr. Hoover making a statement like this without being under extreme pressure. He has apparently faltered under the awesome burdens, complexities and responsibilities of his office, therefore, I cannot engage in a public debate with him. I have nothing but sympathy for this man who has served his country so well.”

daaaamn

holy shit

Jupiter is a gas giant, don't think it has a landscape as such, don't make me sic caek on you.

You don't know what kind of life is or isn't on Jupiter jesus christ

Giant whales iirc

what do you mean, I had this Nat'l Geographic book as a kid with clear evidence that there are awesome balloon bird things on Jupiter

we probably will end up killing basically most flora and fauna on this planet

holy shit that was one of my favorite books as a kid xp

The evening standard will probably improve under george osborne's stewardship

anyone else remember the intro to the 1950s version of War of the Worlds, talking about all the planets the Martians considered but passed on before invading earth? Jupiter looked like Mordor.

Tekken 2 was Way better than Tekken 3.

True but when you consider the visual and sound design, the soundtrack, the atmosphere and Jin Kazama being a lame-ass substitute for Kazuya (although Bryan Fury is better than Bruce), Tekken 2 is obviously better. It was slower but more satisfying.

never played that much 2 tbh, but the 3 soundtrack (esp arcade) was awesome. ling & hwoarang are my 2 favs, yoshi was amazing, lei's haha step biz incredible, paul phoenix still irritating but it just felt like a huge expansion and i love the way it felt

anyway not to deny you your constitutional right to a controversial opinion itt, carry on

all you really need from 80's Wire is a copy of the "kidney bingos" 12-inch and the "ahead" 12-inch.

but you need all the colin solo records even It Seems which nobody thinks they need but you kinda do.

Bernie would have won, but it would only have delayed the disaster four years. Clinton was the only cure.

Also, if Bernie had dropped out back in April where he really had lost his chance, Clinton would have won. Despite the very many missteps she and her campaign did on their own.

Jesus doesn't walk

Jesus walked... on water!

nope - airboat

Bernie wouldn't have won: Clinton liberals would have done everything possible to sabotage him as the Democratic candidate, up to and including running a thrid party candidate, thus throwing the election to Trump because they have fewer and less fundamental disagreements with Trump.

Clinton was the only cure

lol this is the accepted mass marketed centrist corporate lib fantasy, nothing controversial about it

When is the box with the definitive correct answer opened again?

plants are better than animals

uncontroversial imo

Plants are just slower at cuntishness stop discrimination on effectiveness

This isn't controversial, because I'm not naming names. There are a couple of music critics right now (not anyone from the old guard) who are treated with great reverence, almost without dissent as far as I can tell. Links to their ruminations (sometimes provided by them, more often by others) pop up on my FB wall regularly. Can't stand either one of them. Not that I have anything to lose at this point, but both are admired by people I do like, and I wouldn't do myself any favors to name them. I've never spoken to one of them, the other I spoke to once, over the phone, 25 years ago. If I've ever dealt with a snottier, more condescending person, I've forgotten who it is, and that definitely still colours my antipathy.

That's a p bad example of a controversial opinion man i think you could drop a bigger bomb than that if you put yr mind to it

A snotty condescending critic? Well, blow me down.

it not me

there are critics treated with great reverence? maybe by their mom....

By ur mom maybe

ur mom revere me all night like paul revere

there are critics treated with great reverence?

just bill james

Not so much an opinion as a gut reaction, but the term "queer" still makes me uncomfortable

Frederik knows less about US politics than Trump

― Wet Pelican would provide the soundtrack (Myonga Vön Bontee),

in what sense? As a portmanteau, I prefer it to LBTQ, largely b/c I don't drink alphabet soup.

i wonder if it depends on how old you are. this is how i heard it all the time when i was a kid.

so in a way, subconsciously, queer will always = wrong in a way? wrong like archie and the hundreds of other people i heard for decades. but i don't really think of him every time i hear or see the word.

i am glad i lived long enough to see queer duck. and jeez just see and hear so many things i never thought i'd see or hear. we've come a long way baby. ellen is selling her 45 million dollar villa!

an out and proud woman is the biggest thing on t.v. and worth 400 million dollars!

sorry i don't have anything controversial...
