Unpopular opinion

[randomusernam]

I'll go first ...

B&M is over rated

Most of the home decor is tacky
I can get cleaning products at in the supermarket without a separate trip.
It's not super cheap like people say when you really compare the prices

Unless you are at least 5’10” and 8 stone skinny jeans do not, and have never, suited you.

*Don't know if this is unpopular or not.

Rap is trash. There is the odd good record that would qualify as being a song ("Gangster's Paradise", "Lose Yourself", Love the way you lie", "See You Again") but 99% of the releases are dreadful and not music.

It's rhymes over a backing track, and the track is often stolen..."ready or not" (another rare good one) by the Fugees who stole Boadicea by Enya. And the rhyming aspect is stolen from nursery rhymes: "Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle", this is children's stuff that first appeared in 1600s England.

They are all largely shocking, but particular mention for Drake who is unlistenable.

Vanilla Ice stealing Under Pressure from Queen and Bowie, it's a thieving genre of non music.

I saved this comment about Swift as it sums her up perfectly for me -

'How on earth did this 'pied piper' garner so much acclaim for her social climbing, philandering, and her narcissism. She is not a role model for young girls, she is a manipulative orchestrator of a narratives that suits her own agenda, She also loves to surround herself by weakened
'celebrities' like she's some sort of oracle that will show them the light. How many boyfriends have you screwed and used for musical fodder now?
I've lost count. But you are not inspirational to my daughter, nor me. Thank goodness my smart nine year old sees through the continual BS and has zero interest.'

I meant to say that I didn't write the wuoted comment about Swift! I saved it from someone else's post about her! ^

Mums, not dads. Of course. Always the woman's responsibility and guilt if she needs to work 🙄

Oh believe me, I know. That's why I stopped wearing jeans completely when they sold nothing else for 12 years.

The absolute hysteria about her is baffling to me. I like that comment.

Dogs and cats were made to be able to roam. People shouldn't keep them as indoor-only pets or in homes that are too small.

The two child cap on benefits is both cruel and ineffective. It is deliberately designed to discourage a feckless minority by punishing the majority.

The narcissism is disgusting.

Takes a camera crew for her "philanthropic" deeds, in contrast to George Michael or anyone who does things for people without publicity or acclaim.

Aye. You come over to NI and tell everyone they need to do national service and swear allegiance to the UK. See how that goes for you...

BUT, they mean I can wear massive, soft, floaty, drapey tops/jumpers and boots in winter and no wet fabric flapping around my ankles. So so so practical.

The word ‘trigger’ is overused and usually from someone attention seeking and precious.

Oh and also people who ‘suffer’ from anxiety.

If we want any kind of society to still be here in 100 years time, loads of people need to have kids. So it’s not really selfish. Nor is some people choosing not to have kids selfish. Both are valid choices, with “selfish” being a simplistic take on both.

So why didn't you adopt instead of having '2 boyz' and putting more people in the world?

Whether you choose to have kids or not is a selfish decision. And it should be, because if ever there was something you should do or not do depending on whether you wanted it or not, that's got to be it.

Anyone who offers up 'This too shall pass' is utterly clueless.

Thanks Doreen for that sage advice whilst my dads dying, the cats got run over and my husband is bonking the woman from number 42, I feel so much better already. 🙄

To quote Stephen Fry:
’peanut butter isn’t butter, quince cheese isn’t cheese, cream of coconut isn’t cream’

Yep! However cats smell amazing

Making significant personal sacrifices that make your/your family’s life quality worse to try to combat climate change is ridiculous when 99.99% of people are carrying on as normal. Much better to just vote for the greenest political party and then as you were. In such a materialistic capitalist world, real change can only ever come from top down.

Western countries/western society isn’t patriarchal in any meaningful sense.

It is bizarre the esteem in which society holds film/tv actors.

Agree 💯

It really worries me that you are a health professional and you seem to think its the fault of parents that their babies are in the NICU.

About 2% of babies in the UK are IVF babies. 10% of babies spend some time in special care. So you are saying 70% of those are IVF babies?? I don't think those statistics add up.

Also the success rate under 30 is 45% and I doesn't fall dramatically until approaching 40.

I don't really know how to express what I'm trying to say but I'll try.

Overpopulation is a fact but this is from people surviving childhood and living longer. Not something that I'm bothered or have strong opinions about. I'm NOT saying that anyone struggling to concieve should not have IVF and that they should adopt. If IVF weren't an option, more couples would probably consider adoption- probably a low percentage.

I did not adopt nor have I had IVF. I am very much aware of how privileged and how hypocritical I come across.

The point I was trying to make was that when you consider IVF purely from a disconnected, entirely void of emotion POV, there does not seem to be any benefit to society overall. Especially with the success rate of successfully having a child being so low. How much debt people are willing to take on by trying multiple rounds of IVF, once they've already used all their savings.

Obviously to the women and couples that have had to go through that journey it's a miracle if it works. For those that were unsuccessful its heartbreaking and can significantly impact their mental health, sometimes worse than before IVF.

I've had pizzas in Italy and they were the best

I agree. The pong a dog gives off inside a house makes me want to throw up.
