What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

qyron,

I thought the whole point was to voice an unpopular opinion.

I find no value in that movie, whatsoever, regardless what the critics and public may say otherwise.

qyron,

Heritage breeds are not that hard to find, at least in my country.

We even have a heritage book and recognized breeders get special perks.

qyron,

We should teach people how to eat properly.

Although not from the UK, I grew up listening to my grandfather and my older relatives retelling the years of rationing during the great war.

First things first, it wasn’t equal, as who had money would find ways to get more food to their houses. My grandmother often mentioned the pantry in the houses she served at were always stocked, regardless of rationing.

The average citizen would get their ration of goods but although you could live on it, you would be somewhat uncomfortable if you didn’t had any way to suplement your diet. Rasing pidgeons in the city became common fare, more than what already was, and many people started raising rabbits, that can sustained on hay, to eat and sell.

Gardens in every space available became common, to put more vegetables and potatoes on the plate.

It was in the country where people felt the rationing less, being accostumed with surviving from what they farmed, raised and collected. And these were people used to hard work, hand labour. The basis for their day to day living was made up of large quantities of vegetables, dry salted fish (cod), salted and/or cured meats from the yearly pig families would raise, eggs and olive oil and bread. Fresh meat was an event often reserved for special occasions.

Let’s learn and teach how to eat. No need to ration; we already produce more than what is really necessary.

qyron,

May every single misdeed you ever commited happen to you. Ten fold.

qyron,

Prose. Fiction. Not programming. I may learn to code in a near future but I want to start writing for leisure again.

qyron,

Version control is an interesting idea.

I used to write fiction as a hobbie and want to return to it again.

The blank sheet of a standard text editor messes with my nerves. I lose myself editing, formating, etc.

If I could find a prompt that I could pre set the font, layout of the final work, and then have the program leave me alone, it would be perfect.

Most writers solutions come with a lot of bells and whistles, like word counter, time elapsed, goals, etc. Unnecessary. Distracting.

qyron,

Can I get some links, please?

qyron, (edited )

I was 2.5 years old.

Can recall with precise detail where I was, with who, on which situation and even what clothing everyone, including me, was wearing.

An added note:

Memory development is tied with the development of language capabilities. This means the earlier one becomes capable of speech, the earlier conscious memories start to set.

qyron,

You can get lost in the middle of nowhere but I always wonder why finding a direction seems to be such an endeavour for most/so many people.

Sun rises in the east, sets at the west. Face the sun, on your left is west, south is behind your ass.

qyron,

stares from Portugal

“nh” and “lh” are sounds

qyron,

From which country?

qyron, (edited )

Yes. You double the letter, we composite it.

qyron,

Buy a pair of brown bell bottoms and an orange shirt. Set a roleplay night. Go dress away from her. Scream while you enter the room “oh, yeah, lets boogie tonight!”

qyron,

This from the country that single handedly created the fetish around corporal punishment.

Trying to clean retroactively?

Are the public phone booths still plastered with escort service stickers?

qyron,

Nestlé has been patenting human milk proteins for decades. To my understanding, this prevents other companies to add such molecules to baby formula, even if somehow methods to synthesize said molecules were developed.

That is a scary notion, a malevolous intent and a gross outcome.

qyron,

In Portugal, e-scooters had to be severely regulated as many gruesome and bloody accidents happened because their users entered high speed ways, heavily modified the scooters to achieve over 80km/h speeds, were left abandoned by users of rental services everywhere, invaded sidewalks and endangered pedestrians or public transports lanes.

The ever growing size of cars is a worthy cause of worry: I drive a Ford Ranger for professional reasons and the vehicle is ridiculously cumbersome, wide and clumsy for the roads I have to use. Lawmakers need to cull the auto makers arms race on bulky vehicles.

But lets not overlook that e-scooters are a very big source of traffic accidents by themselves and let this micromobility solution run amok.

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there are no risen raised vans or with 4x4 traction, which I often require to reach some remote locations, especially with rainy weather.

But I would gladly trade it in for a small van.

Either that or a 1990’s 4x4 FIAT Panda, with a roof rack.

qyron,

I drive small cars in my personal life, although I currently own 2 station wagons because of family and pets. I usually get an average consumption of 6-7L/100km, which is not bad at all.

My first and most beloved car was a hatchback that could get 5,5L/100km.

I have to drive a pick up for work but I do not enjoy it, to the least degree.

qyron,

The issue here is oversized vehicles becoming norm, not exception.

qyron,

At least 20cm of clearance from the road, awd capable, with high torque setting for rough terrain and steep inclinations, as I sometimes need to use trails not even fit to be considered goat paths.

In a van, it’s an exotic combination.

qyron, (edited )

I have to drive a freaking pick up truck for professional reasons and even I loathe the freaking thing.

Too long, too wide, too tall, too everything and anything for any road and I drive in country roads.

The craze for ever growing vehicles is going to extremes.

Tax and penalize these cars until it hurts.

qyron,

If necromancy was a real thing, she wouldn’t. Too many people longing for her.

qyron,

I’ve run MATE for nearly a decade and am now running XFCE, preparing to jump into a window manager as soon as I get a machine for my exclusive use.

What does that make me?

qyron,

Curious thing: the kiwi fruit came from China to New Zealand.

qyron,

Better yet: wake at random, feeling as if an entire night of sleep is already done. Look at the clock and only two hours have elapsed and there is still an entire night to sleep.

Nonetheless, wake up before the alarm rings, feeling fully refreshed, as if two full nights of sleep have been had.

When I get these episodes, I feel like a champ the entire day. Sadly it also makes me a bit annoying, as it makes overjoyful.
