Post a controversial opinion

you mean less skilled in other tribe killing

'women are better than men at killing other tribes' is the controversial opinion shurely

Look where it got them tbf

women make the men and then send them out to kill the other tribes. #geniusmove

hammering on about trump's tax returns feels and looks pathetic even if it needs to be done

i don't know if that's controversial

chimps make wars

agree with that marcos hot take

Courage and willingness to feel and look pathetic is an admirable quality. #hottake

you should write a book!

the overabundance of "pretty good" content available in every genre (Comics, YA, Fantasy, TV) is preventing people from drying up the well and being forced to move on to Kafka and stuff

If by Kafka you mean powerful, visionary fantasy, surrealism etc, I think about this stuff a lot.

A large portion of this audience are very attached to franchises, large fan communities and big conversations that you don't have to start yourself and probably soapy drama too. Averse to short stories (despite the popularity of quick fixes) and deviation from character driven plots.

It's my fault too, I saw the latest Alien film, but only because it was part of a promise of dinner, I liked it even less than I expected, but like a total asshole, I couldn't resist the online conversation when I should have been supporting something else.

Considering how easy it is to share pictures, it's a little weird that lots of visual artists aren't more famous. But they're definitely better known than they were before internet.

The internet is like a new library of images being dumped on everyone's head, every morning. If we don't wake up with billions of images crashing through the bedroom window and jpeg strands in our teeth from the night before, we become agitated but can't clearly explain why

its like they are putting cigarettes in a dragons anus

It's exactly like that

But this time...the cigarettes aren't candy

And this time...there's no ashtray

i see we've reached the point in the day where violet jynx's grip on reality begins to loosen in earnest

tbh I'm right there with you violet

*logrolls away*

It's like calling communion into the darkness with the pale faced archer

This reminds me of what Neil Tennant said when asked why he and Chris Lowe don't produce their own records: "It comes down to dinner."

I think David Foster Wallace has already written that book a couple of times, unfortunately. From Infinite Jest: 'to be human is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and naïve and goo-prone and generally pathetic'

(that quote is the only thing I put on the 'about me' thing on Facebook. Hey, remember when that was a thing? Wonder if it would work on tinder...)

We should have a group ILX fieldtrip to meet Dr. Roger Challop

i thought get out was just ok

starting to think that most movies, actors and actresses are shit

Individual components are things of beauty and perfection it's when you attempt configuration that shit falls apart

I generally find her annoying but Kathy Griffin holding Trump's severed head photo is punk af.

was surprised conservative snowflakes are actually upset about that?

oh you have no idea

if measured by how many people he has made laugh, trump is the greatest comedian to come out of the US in the 21st century

if measured by how many people he has angered, trump is the greatest troll to come out of the US in the 21st century

not sure if this is controversial or just a sad century for poptimists

over 80 dead in kabul yesterday but yeah it has been a sad century for poptimists too.

it's been sad days for afghanistan for the last 200 years i'd say

I blame the Afghans

They're the common denominator

what's rugs got to do with it

What's rugs but a second hand emotion

they just need a re-branding. maybe a new name. maybe a casino or two. they are already laying the groundwork by demolishing so many outdated buildings.

cofveve is the meaning of life.

the big bang proves god's existence

Does that even qualify as an 'opinion'? It's kinda just non-factual...

Btw I believe in the big bang, and I believe in God's existence. But one doesn't really follow from the other.

Here's another one: It's quite possible that God created the earth 5000 years ago. (it just follows that he sure made it look like he didn't, for whatever reason)

Has this become the thread of posting any controversial opinion regardless of whether you believe it or not?

Danny Devito is a very tall man.

If one's definition of God is limited to being the 'first cause', initiating all subsequent causes and effects, then the Big Bang theory aligns well with that definition of God. But it is a very narrow definition and the proof (as far as it goes) does not extend to proving any other attributes God might have, or even prove God's further involvement with the universe at all past the first instant.

Just because something isn't true doesn't mean you shouldn't believe it.
Just because something can't be done doesn't mean you shouldn't try to do it.

I think I've said this before.
