Post a controversial opinion

I know

Yeah so this isn’t controversial then

"I know several people that have thought out, principled reasons for not voting,"

really, fuck them. I don't think there's any excuse for not voting

No effect will give an electric guitar the emotional power of a banjo

you are king of this thread lol

Thanks!

Im so ready to poll “which has more emotional power, the harp or the banjo?”

do it

ultimately for me it comes down to dueling banjos scene in deliverance vs the electric harp lick in that daft punk song (from discovery) and that’s a tough call

it would be far from the silliest POLL on these boards

Even the piccolo is more expressive than the banjo.

I love Brian Piccolo

The 'controversial musical opinion' thread is basically the same as a couple of others I've already read, and I've only been here a few years, fuck knows how often this has come around since the site opened.
There are lots of interesting things on there, but it's just a matter of time until it turns into one of those threads where two or three people are getting furious at each-other and everyone else has lost track of what they are arguing about.

not controversial

People who use umbrellas when it's not raining hard--->trash.

A tragedy like the limousine accident in NY killing 20 people can only happen in the US because the US is the only country in the world dumb enough to allow and perversely enjoy having huuuge limousines - cars stretched way out of proportion to fit in way more people than is possible otherwise - as big as carrying 20 people on board driving around. No other country I have ever visited (most EU, Asia, Africa) would allow for such a vehicle to ever hit the streets, y bcz common sense. It's the supersize big mac version of a fucking car. What the fuck are you thinking America.

In the UK those things are booked for Asian weddings and school proms all the time.

"double-decker bus accident" might get some hits on google

Not just the categories you named suzy but yes

terry gross sounds generally dispassionate.

if I had to guess I would guess that huge unwieldy cars like those limousines get in fewer than average fatal accidents because people tend to be more careful when they're driving awkward cars

but I am not a stretch limo statistics expert

Plenty of ludicrously huge limos full of drunk people running round Sauchiehall St on a Fri night.

Stretch Humvees are pretty hilarious, even with the gun turret.

we're thinking that you need to shut the fuck up about America

ok sleeve. very insightful sleeve. thank you sleeve.

I am seriously weirded out that a thousand people went to the limo crash vigil.

high schoolers cuttin class, drinking down by the limo crash vigil

Tom and Huck watching from the rafters of the limo crash vigil

then you turn left. if you see the limo crash vigil, you've gone too far.

See you me and Julio down by the limo wreck

Limo crash vigil? I 'ardly know 'er!

their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-white Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the limo crash vigil

Streets used to be named for the place they aimed at. Thus Limo Crash Vigil Street, if you followed it nine miles, brought you to the Limo Crash Vigil.

we were somewhere on the edge of the limo crash vigil when the drugs began to take hold

What does dmac titty even mean

matt dc tribute ffs

Ohhhhhhhh loool

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a limo crash vigil must be in want of a wife.

riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to the limo crash vigil

people who say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" when they are told that reducing meat consumption can help curb global warming are actually just weak willed pussies who are scared of eating vegetables

People say "individual actions towards preventing climate change don't matter!" ?

i wouldn't say individual actions don't _matter_, but it is a bit of a pie-baking response.

what the hell is a pie-baking response

Think a reference to this? https://local.theonion.com/not-knowing-what-else-to-do-woman-bakes-american-flag-1819566173

yep

Sorry, not controversial, but we're all fucking doomed.

^ I'm pretty sure I know the provenance of that photo. If I'm correct the flames and the golfers were on opposite sides of the Columbia River and a long telephoto lens is distorting their apparent proximity to one another. But, purely as an image, it captures a lot more than the pure facts would suggest.

Well aware of telephoto juxtaposition, but still, FUCK GOLF! (is that controversial enough?)\

Golf was well on its way to dying among younger generations before Trump. After Trump, I suspect this will accelerate. Its the sport of the arrogant and oblivious.

I've gotten on the orienteering bandwagon. Someday, drones will turn orienteering into a major sport.
