Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I was stoked to boot it up and like......what? It's such a stupid game on all fronts. I get that stealing mechanics works if you're into that kind of gameplay, but there's no way that anyone other than pokemon obsessed people enjoy this. Even then, it's such a poor analog for actual pokemon games. I feel like it's "success" is all media buzz. Every actual human in my life agrees it's terrible. Even my partner who is actually pokemon obsessed lol. But the coverage on the internet would have you believe it's goty contender. I have never felt more convinced that we are living in a simulation lol. I can't be alone in this, am I? Is there where I learn that I'm that far out of touch? Like, truly, if you enjoy it, good for you. We all have things we love that others don't get. But like, someone please tell me I'm not the only one lol.

Hah, you never know, maybe someday =P

Though I have apparently become allergic to most beers as I have aged, somehow.

Basically just about anything I have tried in the last 4 or 5 years results in me feeling hungover about 1/3 of the way through a beer, as well as inflamed, pounding headache, bleck.

Its for the best. I fortunately never developed an alcohol addicition, but basically all of my fathers, him included, either have been or are massive alcoholics.

So basically, I can nurse a doubleshot of whiskey, or have a kombucha or something. No horrid allergic reaction to spirits or... fungal alcohol.
