Unpopular Opinions Thread

I have been known to go all Belgian and eat French fries with mayo in the same way others might use ketchup. In that capacity, I like to thin out the mayo a little with some extra cider or malt vinegar.

The Japanese put mayo on everything.

There are going to be breakthrough infections in the NFL and for other sports. But to not get vaccinated at this point is stupid.

There can be fewer privacy concerns with fax as opposed to email. Another reason medical practices still use it.

Didn't we once have a "popular bands you hate" discussion? Nirvana would be on that list for me, although not nearly as high on the list as the Beatles. The Beatles were a dumpster full of hot garbage made up of 90% dead skunks and poopy diapers. Glorified boy band. The Monkees made better music, an...

The most amusing thing to me is that I've been seeing memes from the anti-vaxxers for months calling those who took the vaccine "sheep," "cattle," and similar things, and now the same people are literally taking medicine meant for herd animals.

The worst sumo wrestler of all time has retired. In the last six years of sumo, 23-year-old Shonanzakura (who also wrestled under the name Hattorizakura) compiled a record of 3-238, which never saw him rise above the lowest Jonokuchi division (wrestlers have been known to be promoted out of Jonokuch...

Vinny asked the sheriff to look up and see if any mint green 1964 Pontiac Tempests had been reported stolen.

The fact that two models are called the "PsychoBlaster" and the "Jackass" I think demonstrates the intended market for such devices. Might as well call the other four the "Redneck," the "D-----bag," the "Florida Man," and the "Compensating For Something."

I would say no. The statute criminalizes depictions of "“sexually explicit conduct,” which is defined as: “sexually explicit conduct” means actual or simulated— (i) sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposit...

As I said yesterday, what the FDA did was: (1) give full approval for the standard two-dose regimen under the trade name "Comirnaty"; (2) extend the EUA for people 12–16 and for third-dose booster shots for immunocompromised individuals.

Would that be balanced some by the fact that those under 18 can only get Pfizer?

Likely, yes.
