What is your most "Fuck you, this is actually awesome?" take?

What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?

See here's the controversial take. I don't agree with you at all. It was literally built up for the entire series and was the only natural conclusion. She was literally saying "I plan to break the wheel" from the start. That is not language a peaceful person uses. Her goals to begin with were those of a conqueror, and what we got was the natural end of that ambition when it crashes into reality.
I think it was done beautifully, and the fact so many people bought into her side of things and felt betrayed is evidence of how well done it was.
Nah, like they said... It's not that it happened, it's how it happened. She had never before turned on "her" people. She hadn't even really ever turned on civillians so openly, either. It was definitely, unquestionably, rushed character development.
It's not that she went nuts, or even the specific, individual events. It's how quickly she's just suddenly cool with wasting people she wanted to rule. She was a relatively sane, motivated leader for years, maybe even decades, and suddenly, so close to victory, she drops any and all well established moral boundaries she's clearly defined?
That's... not how crazy works. At all.

Hard no on the food, but I'm with you on Never Gonna Give You Up. I sometimes klick obvious rickrolling links just to listen to it.
I also unironically like Wonderwall.
The music is good, I just cannot stand that droning "singing" voice...

Gun Control lol
Charlie Kirk would approve... Well, he would now I mean. SCNR
Too soon?
someone shot charlie kirk?
goddamn the trump admin will do ANYTHING to distract from the epstein horrors

Nickelback. I don't know why they get so much hate, their music is actually decent
Nickelback had a VERY distinctive style, to the point you could mix their songs together "This is how you remind me to wish you'd unclench your fists" style and people wouldn't notice. They're relative lack of range caused them to wear out their welcome a LOT faster than average.
They deserve every last dollop of shit they got for No Fixed Address though.

The shooter did demonstrate excellent control of that gun. Put a bullet through a carotid artery from beyond "saw it coming" distance.

There's simply no reason why a GPU should have proprietary drivers, when that is a core, basically inseparable part of a computer. You literally NEED one to see what you're doing with your computer (yes, integrated graphics also count).
I mean, imagine if your sound card had proprietary drivers. The world would go nuts.
Printers should not need drivers anymore. There should have been a standard protocol for them by now.

You would be surprised with how many old timers would agree with you if they weren't in a self enforced social isolation bubble. I've heard farmers at two separate gun counters completely dumb founded when they find out they don't need to fill out any paperwork to sell a gun to a friend. And that's just meandering around in my day to day. I can't imagine how regularly often Atwood's has to deal with them.

Crust is the best part of any food intended to have a crust!

Exactly, like, I don't wanna have to uninstall and reinstall these drivers just with a printer upgrade.
Not only that, but printer ink is still absurdly expensive.

You can USUALLY get by with HP universal PCL drivers for most any printers, regardless of brand.
Yes, I know HP is parasitic in the ink/toner department, but PCL is pretty universal itself.
Supposedly Microsoft will be dumping printer drives here soon anyway for IPP connectors.

For me it was the radio and that a lot of their popular songs sound the same-ish (not hard to do with that voice). The radio has ruined a lot of bands for me simply by having a 40 minute playlist on repeat. Like The Killers.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I think it's worth it now to give the back catalog of the killers a listen. I felt the same way for a long time.
That being said I've got a list of bands I enjoy a lot more than I could when they were being played every 40 minutes

For sure. Texture is definitely important in context.
If you care, and I think you might, the size of the holes inside bread is called the crumb. At least, in some places I've seen(entirely too many bread baking videos at one point)
Useless information is still fun to share sometimes

Yeah, crumb was definitely the right word to use there. My brain gets a bit fuzzy with words sometimes.

That is probably because Batman doesn't pay taxes, Bruce Wayne does.
And Bruce Wayne is known for spending tons of the Wayne foundation on helping the poor and criminalized. Tons of charities, schools, orphanages, homeless shelters, ... are funded by them.
And if Bruce gets tax breaks because of that, it is because that is how the law works, not because he wants them.
Bruce is far from the average Billionaire you get in our dimension.
By your reasoning, is also because Superman probably doesn't pay taxes, Clark Kent dies

I actually bought a little Pentium tablet so I could have something in the shop running FreeCAD instead of printing my drawings on paper because HORSE FUCK ALL OF THE PRINTERS.

I believe that her arc is a conqueror's journey disguised as a hero's journey, and it was done so well that everyone felt betrayed. This thread is for hot takes, so there's mine.

A space exploration video game. It had a famously bad launch, because the director had over-promised on basically every single feature. It was massively anticipated because the director had hyped it up so much. And when it launched, players quickly discovered that many of the promised features were only half finished, or were missing entirely. The backlash was swift, but the company said they planned to keep working on the game.
And now many years later, the game is actually fairly solid, and basically meets the original promises. But at launch, it definitely didn’t.
I'll forever be mad about it because I thought I was buying a planetary physics/ecology simulator and I got "we have Spore at home." I don't care that it has Minecraft in it now, it still doesn't do the thing I cared about from the early hype.

It definitely wasn't one of DC's best adaptions. They really tried to squeeze too much in for the run time. They totally could have dropped the whole Atlas and Samson thing and concentrated more on the main story.
Honestly, if they fixed a few things it would just be an extremely mediocre and bad movie so it's better off that it's an unbelievable cavalcade of nonsense

Someone said interstellar was bad? Who said that?!!! Hold my beer.
