Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

YouTube cracking down ad-blockers is equivalent of the Government cracking down drugs.

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
I highly disagree. Youtube is using potentially malware to force people to watch ads that Youtube would ban anyone using in their own videos, and are somehow making ad-block even more popular as a result.

@Meanlucario
Not what that meant. I meant to say, is that the goverment’s (like for example, Philippines) failure of cracking down drugs is what’s happening to YouTube rn. Like you said, it made it more popular and stronger than ever.

@Count Oxymagomedov Sear
Why bother filling up prisons with people? Just make all drugs legal and let natural selection do its job.

@Beth
Unless we’re gutting the pharmaceutical industry at the same time, this plan is half-baked.

@Beth
Let us not do such a thing

I prefer the first Raimi Spider-Man film to the second

@Kiryu-Chan
None of the movie Spidermen can top Spectacular Spiderman. The Insomniac one comes second.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
You said it yourself. My plan prevents the corruption of the medical circle.

The current model is unsustainable and breeds degenerate dependants, because it’s for filling prisons and charging insurance. It’s going to catastrophically fail. People who are naturally afraid of drugs and naturally take care of themselves are going to dominate the gene pool again soon.

Black Panther 2 is leagues better than BP1

Like BP1 felt so generic to me, meanwhile BP2 is a far more emotional and personal story

@Commune
I love both. BP1 has Killmonger and I think people only hate on BP2 because it’s cool to hate on everything MCU post Endgame.

The debate between “MD vs. DO” in medical care annoys me.

The assumption that all DOs are quacks and all MDs are gods can easily be dispelled by simply working in health care.

Yea, DOs are a little…weird sometimes. But they’re just as good doctors as MDs.

@Zincy
DOs?

Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

@Mildgyth
…what?

Long story.

DOs do extra hours in their resident years focused on a particular form of interactive medicine.

For most DOs this involves learning how to diagnose things via touch, and having the patient detail their symptoms and mental state.

Unfortunately, some DOs go for a particular branch of this kind of study that gives the rest of the field a bad name. Which involves using touch and body positioning as a curative.

Otherwise, MDs and DOs have nearly identical training.

Some people might need help in terms of physical therapy, like a doctor to show them how they can move and stretch an injured joint or something.

Someone like me doesn’t need a physical therapist. I would heal and start moving faster than a doctor is allowed to recommend.

@Zincy
A lot of problems can be helped by knowing how to position ones body, it could be like orthostatic hypertension, bruised lung, or neurological deficits can be partially compensation by some knowledge of posture, and ergonomics. It’s only one piece of the the puzzle though. Concerns should be first taken with a PCP.

Like someone smashed in the head and can’t walk right might benefit from a cane, a broader posture, slower movement, holding onto things, but they still need to go to an ER.

There is no Avatar chi healing though. Can’t cure someone just by grabbing their neck and pressing on their forehead. Not any example I can think of anyway.

I need better example of osteopathic quackery, I usually don’t go to hospitals and never do physical therapy, because i’m a destitute with no vehicle.

I don’t think Nickelback is the worst band in the world and those who still harbor their hate need to chill

I will always have a soft spot for Nickelback since they gave us “Hero” for the first Spider-Man.

Honestly Nickleback is not a bad band.

I saw them live a few years ago, they put on a pretty fun show and they generally seem super chill people.

I just get a kick out of these Canadian dudes trying to sound like they’re from the north end of Alabama.

Ever since I was a kid I was afraid to engage with music culture. It’s so toxic and negative.

People love subjective matters of opinion the most because they aren’t forced with a physical mirror to see how insufferable they are.

People don’t angrily spout “4+5=11” because they will objectively be found to be wrong. Meanwhile matters of art brings out inner demons.

It’s not just music, it’s paintings, movies, anything. I know some people are having fun crapping on eachother playfully, but i like to be more positive towards any form of art.

@Spidey10
That’s more of a Chad Kroeger solo song but I agree, I think that’s a good song. Helps that the guy from Saliva is in it, and that’s a good ass band.

@Zincy
I’ve seen interviews and I will commend them for not lashing out against their hatedom and continuing being themselves, I can respect that.

Christmas music unpopular opinion: I don’t like when people cover “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” but change the final verse. Changing it from the comparatively more melancholy “Until then we’ll have to muddle through somehow” to “Hang a shining star upon the highest bough” messes up the point of the original song IMO.

You took issue with Todd’s latest video too, eh?

Oh Christmas music is one annoying thing. Especially if you work in retail.

Is always the old sappy songs to attract the old people and vets that have money.

The rich people like it that way, because they arent the ones working in the store, or going to them regularly.

Enjoy it while it’s nostalgic.

Also I got to go to the store with my crappy bike, don’t leave your nice bike chained up during the holidays.

Holidays breed desperation in poor people, keep your shit safe.

Speaking of Christmas songs, I’m not a fan of “Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. But the very next day, you gave it away.” The last thing a Christmas song should be is a remembrance of a cheating husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend.
