Unpopular opinion

[Pokercomic]

Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

@SuperintendentHastings

If said person knows her fertile days. Not everyone is 28 days.

@Faultymain5 but surely if someone doesn't want to get pregnant, they won't have any unprotected sex at all?

Or any sex, I got pregnant on the pill and using condoms. I figured it was meant to be.

No, not everyone is 28 days. Many are irregular but even irregular cycle has patterns. Someone can easily calculate their 'possible' fertile days as well as their sure fertile days and be more mindful around those times. It just means the person will have more days to be more careful than others with a regular cycle, if getting pregnant 'accidentally' is unwanted.

It's very easy to do too once you get the hang of it.

I think it's sad many aren't educated or clued up on these things and people are "falling pregnant" left, right, center. Poor kids.

Or any sex, I got pregnant on the pill and using condoms. I figured it was meant to be.

That's different. Accidents do happen. People are talking about those who take no precautions and are surprised they got pregnant.

Accidents do happen
By accident, not the child but precaution failing. As you said, it was meant to be then.

It’s about probability
I’m guessing you don’t want to die in a car crash? But you still get in a car?

Likewise, some women won’t want to get pregnant, but if on birth control it reduces the risk massively

Where is the pattern in 33, 41, 45, 31? Cause when I asked the “experts” I.e other members of the forum doing this for longer than me. I was told at the time it was too irregular to track.

I wouldn't know just by chatting with you here. We'd have to track your cycle for a while but yes, there's a possibility of being too irregular to know for sure and getting older may add to the irregularity - but for some, it becomes a bit more regular and/or predictable.

Again, those people don't fall into the category of what I'm talking about because it's not that they don't know to take precaution. There are always exceptions to anything.

Children do not always come first and shouldn’t be consulted on decisions especially those they are not mature enough to understand (moving house, extending families, partners moving in etc)

Someone moving in to their home... you don’t think they should be consulted?

New order are fucking awful. Over rated over played monotone drivel.

Not consulted no, told that this may happen and how do they feel about it, what can you do to help any negative feelings etc yes.

@Salarymallory my initial comment was regarding those having unprotected sex during their fertile days. Not those using protection.

@ThisForUnpopularOpinions

A £35 for a £20 rabbit is lunacy.

In that vein, aren't children, and a sane person doesn't 'love' them. They're just love toys, and when they die, ffs don't grieve. Just get another.

Feminist/ally men are slimy. All of them.

Trans is bollocks, but not because 'women's rights are being eroded' or some other shit like that. Just because born a man or woman die a man or woman. Fucking pretending otherwise doesn't change it.

Women being killed or hurt by men is a biological problem (men are generally bigger, and some are selfish arseholes), not a systemic or societal one. It'll likely never be totally eradicated, much like all other violent crime.

Totally agree with the feminist/ally men are total slime balls.

Totally agree with the feminist/ally men are total slime balls.

I'm not so sure about that. But I do find them fully when they quickly show their hands with whataboutery in relation to the feelings of the poor men above any abuse the women on that thread might have experienced.

Or when they try to mansplain feminism to me.

People who have twee signs in their house saying "live, laugh, love" or some equally inane nonsense have zero imagination.

People who say "nom nom" sound like pigs at a trough

Bloody auto-correct. I don't find them 'fully' - I find them FUNNY. Grr.

I will add to the excuses for rudeness such as telling it like it is etc, the phrase “ you’re too sensitive”. Also, “that’s just the way I am”.

And 'I'm just being frank!'

@ThisForUnpopularOpinions

Be yourself. Unless your 'self' is a wanker. Then you should change. And don't even get me started with the 'If you don't want me at my worst...' twaddle.

Don't be a wankerist😱 You wouldn't tell a not wanketlr to change. Tsk. Wankerism is alive and well I see.

I agree with that "If you don't want me at my worst...' twaddle" mainly because the best is usually not much better than the worst going by who posts this on their sm🙈

New order are fucking awful. Over rated over played monotone drivel.

THANK YOU. I’ve been saying this for years.

And don't even get me started with the 'If you don't want me at my worst...' twaddle.

Agree. It's too often used as an excuse for capriciousness and taking out your moods on others. We all sometimes do so unthinkingly, no doubt; but that's not a reason for demanding that others should agree to be your whipping-boys in exchange for 'you at your best'. If people go around metaphorically kicking me, then I'm not that interested in seeing their 'best' - consistent trustworthiness is much more important to me than exciting 'best' behaviour every now and then.
