Post a controversial opinion

Apparently mimosa is 1:1 orange juice and champagne while buck's fizz is 1:2.
Never tried a mimosa but sounds like too much orange juice.

all cocktails are bad

To me it's as matter of how much OJ (too acidic) or champagne/sparkling wine (too damn sweet) one can or should drink

the answer is none

If it’s dry champagne and it’s 2/3 champgne, 1/3 oj, then mimosas are good

Q: Is Orangina and vodka an acceptable alternative

feel like those are both variations on the screwdriver, "the hammer" and "the nightmarishly multiform electric drill," respectively

Never an excuse for a screwdriver

And what do you call a container of orange Tic Tacs dumped into a bottle of Colt 45?

My family calls it the Interventionmaker, but that doesn't sound quite right to me.

It was right on the tip of my tongue.

There’s no reason to stage “Measure for Measure” and tbrr there’s precious little reason to stage “The Merchant of Venice”.

I think “Taming of the Shrew” is chill tho

Planned fun is rarely fun

Strong agree.

Nooooo not true it is the best fun

strong agree w/ fgti

However I also think flaking out on plans and staying in is generally the best idea

hit me with an example

going to the beach? Boring
hiking/exercise/any kind of outdoor activity? Never fun
Parties? Sometimes, but usually boring.
Vacations? BORING

I mean what is planned fun? Is planned fun going to a show, or going to see a movie with friends, or getting dinner with someone? That's all fun. I just despise pretty much all activities that prioritize fun.

hiking/exercise/any kind of outdoor activity? Never fun

Depends on one's idea of 'fun'. If it means giggling fits, then sure no fun. If it means a deeply pleasant and satisfying day spent in nature, then... woo-hoo!

vacations are boring?

?????????

If it means a deeply pleasant and satisfying day spent in nature

yeah I've tried this it's boring as shit

of course vacations are boring, unless you're in a city. wtf are you supposed to do for more than a day?

flaking is bad and rude, imo you get 3 strikes and then you stop being invited... but spontaneity is worse. i love making fun plans

vacations in cities are the most boring vacations because all cities are the same

lmfao no

i used to be like flappy and not love vacations. all i can say is, i hope you see the light my man

I will never go to the beach ever again (if I can) but I would love to go back to Rome ASAP

all cities are the same is a major controp

The point of a vacation, in part, is to be a little boring.

Seriously though what do you do on vacation when you're on like... an island or a beach town or something. There is nothing to do.....?

xp I don't understand

boring as shit

let's just agree we have different personalities and different ideas of fun.

this is true

i am going to the beach this weekend

more beach for me

make sure to hop on this thread and report how dull the starfish are

oh yeah that's another thing, even an empty beach gets boring after an hour. how TF can you enjoy yourself or be comfortable at a beach with strangers? I really don't get it but hope you have fun

I was at the beach five nights three weeks ago! I wasn't on the beach for hours. I'd read in the morning, swim in the pool for a while, lunch, hang out on the beach w/my friends till about four, shower and mix drinks, go out for dinner. It was awesome.

the beach isn't on trial here sir

I have never really had a vacation so I can't really weigh in on that, they sound nice tho

Non controp: if you're bored, it's you, not the world outside you

The Oregon coastline really has nothing in common with anything on the Atlantic seaboard, or anywhere else on the Pacific coast I know about, for that matter. You wouldn't understand unless you spent a lot of time there.

Apparently hating nature(?) seems to be the truly controversial opinion here

Usually plan my sexcapades

And on vacations in cities i sightsee, love walking, do some boning, eat nice food, drink nice beer

Idk maybe u dont kno how to vacay bruh

I don’t think I’ve been to the beach in about 30 years. I went to Brighton a few years ago but that’s not a beach, it’s the world’s largest rock garden, with waves.

Boring things are good, cf “things that are boring but good” thread

There are gradations to flaking but in many cases it’s reprehensible. I’d rather someone flake on me entirely and tell me in advance than be more than 14 minutes late, though.

i think i learned to truly love vacation when i deeply hated my job/life. now i like my job/life but still love vacays. also i never get bored (this seems like an artefacf of pre-smartphone life? i’ve friends who literally go on silent retreats to reexperience boredom lol)

on vacation: sleep in, read, drink coffee, swim, tan, eat, drink, sex if it’s an option. like ill go on vacation in florida idgaf. im kind of a lazy vacationer don’t love a packed itinerary one light activity per day max. also i like “nature shit”, i do like 5 day hikes in the woods w my pals where we camp every night and eat gruel

if you feel like a vacation is imposing itself on you then you're doing something wrong

i will p much never cancel plans outside of being sick or having a car break down. makes you think harder before saying "yes" - if the option sounds like shit, just say "no" rather than saying "yes" and planning to make up some bullshit excuse day of

sorry to quote it but everyone is smashing FP on this right?

most of us have FPed infinity already in past weeks

I would agree with a not-so controp that "unplanned fun is gd amazing"

Because it is

When you have low expectations for some walk in the park and it suddenly turns into a dog ballet with unexpected mushrooms offered and there's a surprisingly pleasant poet who appears and his poems are good enough to be worth your time but not-so good as to make you feel insecure and then a friend decides to treat you to an espresso-based beverage that you've never tried before and it is alarmingly good and you run into an old friend whose face you didn't even realize you missed so much but you did miss and the sight of it makes you emotional and then you drift into a second-hand store and find a pair of trainers that are staggeringly well-priced and you put one on and wear mismatched shoes over to the market and peaches are suddenly in season and just as you buy one the cashier recognizes that you last week chased down a dude who mooned her apropos of nothing and when you confronted him he tweaked your ear and shoved you but you stood your ground and told him to stop mooning people and the cashier remembers you and gives you free peaches and also some liquorice and you thought you hated liquorice but the liquorice is delicious

And at the end of the day you're feeling good about "kismet" which is a good thing when the world just comes together and shows you something beautiful

But you don't feel the sense of accomplishment of having planned a birthday party and had it go almost-entirely smoothly and seen real tears on the birthday girl's face when she realizes how much her friends care for her, enough that they all showed up and brought presents and the apps you made turned out perfectly and everybody contributes the right amount for the cost of groceries, that's really an amazing fun

I'm with infinity p.s. all my boning has to be planned down to the minute, very important
