Hot Takes Thread

[ATWA ya dig?]

1: the "who has the bullet" method is a myth, firing squads do not load any of the rifles with blanks.

Can't believe I fell for that for so long.

2: a modern firing squad is 3 riflemen, not 5.

But it should be.

Why's a firing squad gotta be 3-5 people
Just one guy with a shotgun ensures effective instant death

Not every non-Claus is a liar, it's called being normal

Too many speds have zero nuance and assume everyone can be categorized in separate, clearly defined groups.
The truth is that there are as many political philosophies as there are conscious self aware people currently living.

TF2 is ass

Android (the one that comes manufactured, at least) is a terrible software and sideloading (which will be removed in 2026 anyway) saves it from being useless

I'm a victim of this but anyone who exclusively types in lowercase is a real woman

Softcore porn is worse than full on nudity

 

[shipment]

I'd have no issue with the digital ID act if it were implemented for it's intended use of protecting children from pornography. A system like that needs to be put in place to combat parental ignorance. The current implementation has proven that the supposed cause was nothing more then a mask for global surveillance, which blows hard to put it lightly. (Who would've guessed that liars do bad things.)

The pro palestine movement has completely ruined antisemitism and made it very closely associated with whiny progressive soyboys.

But they are anti-zionism, not anti-semetic

The difference isn’t big enough to matter. Everytime I see someone talk about the jews now I just imagine them chanting about how we need to fight islamophobia and save gaza at all costs.

Softcore porn is worse than full on nudity

I agree actually. Nudity is inherently attractive, so "softcore" almost always involves some kind of fetishism to make it attractive without nudity.
You shouldn't look at any of it, but "naked real women" is the baseline, and going beyond that is always bad.

Gangnam Style is a genuinely good track.

PSY is keyed because he's the only remotely relevant Korean music act that isn't a robot manufactured and groomed in a lab

Oh and for my hot take: I don't like South Park very much, the show seems to think it's way smarter than it actually is

Hot take 2: I fucking hate dark mode. It's tolerable with sites like YouTube and Instagram which are primarily media focused so it doesn't matter but on anything else (especially anything with a lot of text like documents or IDEs) it's insufferable. How the fuck do people have LESS eye strain with dark mode on, I'm struggling just to even make out what I'm looking at.

The worst form of dark modes are the ones where most of the screen is pitch black and there's barely any contrast in the background colors used for different parts of the interface, it's an absolute struggle to even make out what's going on

TV is a worse addiction than people make it out to be, literally every other vice involves some level of activity on the user's part; computers, phones, videogames, gambling, eating, drugs, gooning, social media all require the user to actually do something, while all you do with a movie or TV show is sit there and watch like a good goy. Especially annoying is the blue and orange morality TVcucks have over other forms of entertainment (>playing a vidya for like an hour le bad but me watching 4 movies in a row is perfectly fine ), nobody else is that cacay over things they dislike except maybe MoonMetropolis

im sympathetic towards the germans in ww2 but Claus was fucking dummyed when it came to supporting japan, they offered basically nothing and leeched more than anything else
the japanese were the real bad guys and if the nazis developed the atomic bomb first they shouldve used it on japan

There's a reason us mutts bombed the shit out of them o algo.

Post your hot takes, could be about anything.

In my opinion, AI art is keyed because it makes normie self-proclaimed "artists" seethe. This is coming from someone who draws on the regular by the way.

I think your oppinion lies on a linguistic fault in many people where they heavily conflate the [artform] of drawing/illustration with [art]
Seldom is the product of illustration "art" and is merely and illustration, though thr process of illustration is a artform it is not solely responsible for the imbuement of the property of "art" upon one's works
