No Stupid Questions

Political violence is acceptable.

When the actions of a dictator or party directly worsen the lives of citizens, I believe it should be a legal right for the citizenry to execute those in power.

Okay, here we go...

The term "larper", more often than not, makes discourse worse

I think cars should be outlawed in population centers with exceptions for product deliveries, mobility scooters and e-bikes. If you want your ikea furniture into your apartment you need to either fit it into a cargo bike setup or get it delivered by a company with a delivery license.

I hate cars

Borderline personality disorder and Childhood-acquired Posttraumatic stress disorder are the same thing the only core difference is whether or not the resulting reactivity seems proportionate to the trauma from the clinicians perspective. This is more / less likely if the person has a more / less reactive underlying nervous system, but ultimately most of the judgment comes down to social perception of what's a worse trauma vs what's worse as a resulting negative behavior. If a "big" trauma makes you sad / withdrawn, you have PTSD vs if a "small" trauma makes you annoying / "difficult" you have borderline. (Am deffo borderline, personally. LOL)

Oh I have a good one for this

I am an introverted loner who enjoys time spent solitary.

But I do have a social life, date, work. So I am aware that there are other people who spend every day doing something social with others and get frustrated if they have to spend any amount of time by themselves just in their own company.

I believe(d) that time spent alone with yourself and your thoughts is psychologically healthy, helps you figure out who you really are and lets you sort out your beliefs and desires.

So I thought society should change in such a way that there was a mandatory month out of every year where we all spent the entire time locked away in our homes getting essentials delivered.

Now imagine my surprise in 2020 when I actually got what I wanted and it drove a significant chunk of the population absolutely insane.

Mandatory homework needs to be done away with for students. Studying after school is one thing, but assignments that can't be finished during school hours shouldn't be given out. Give them 1 free hour a day at school to work on assignments if you need to.

Not every student has a home environment set up for being able to concentrate. Plus it's just training kids to work off the clock and having no separation of home and work life, something people already struggle with. We should be teaching them boundaries about these things.

Here's one:

Harley-Davidson can't make good motorcycles not because they lack the knowledge, but because they aren't allowed to.

In 2018 I bought a Street 500. It was under $7,000 out-the-door. It made as much noise as a Toyota Corolla, and was every bit as reliable. Later on I got a Nightster. It's a bit noiser but still not really loud. It's also been reliable and it's considerably faster than it needs to be. It cost me 12k in 2023.

But neither of those bikes is a huge expensive thundering dinosaur that vibrates like a paint shaker, so you don't see many of them, and you might not know that H-D recently made a little 500cc commuter with a water cooled engine, or a 975cc bike with variable valve timing and traction control for $10,000. Soon enough they will probably kill off the newer more modern bikes, go back to the air cooled 800 pound $20k behemoths and wonder why their company failed.

Pedophilia is ok in the united states and we all just collectively agreed to pretend it isn't. It's clearly not a crime or we'd make more of a deal out of prosecution. It's certainly not a deal breaker when your favorite politician or famous person does it. I used to think it was a coincidence that everyone I know was molested as a child, that maybe we gravitate to each other as an unspoken solidarity. The Epstein situation has made that hard to believe.

Dogs are incredibly annoying and a not insignificant number of people that want them actually subconsciously want children, but either can't afford them, or don't have a partner to have them with so they adopt a permanent child.

I think it's rather coincidental that 90%+ of women's dating profiles in my area (very high cost of living) all mention some form of "I'll steal your dog. I love your dog more than you. Dogs are life. Live love dog" etc etc...

You're pathetic and stupid for not being vegan.

I always expect something intense from these threads like "blind people should be culled" but it's always boring trite stuff that 80% of gen pop already believes in. No one is going to get executed for saying homework sucks.

This is bait. I'm tired of these bait posts.

They're bait posts because they're preying on people to drop some really spicy unpopular opinion that nobody, even including the OP, will handle. It'll create a scuffle, arguments and there will be calling for post removals and report wars will happen.

Also, it reeks of Reddit too, including to the last line.

The proper way to eat salad is with chopsticks. Ever tried to pick up a flat piece of lettuce with a fork? A chopped carrot? A crispy crouton??

The Abrahamic Religions (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) aren't "religions of peace".

Socialist economic systems are also easily corruptible.

People are perfectly fine with letting strangers suffer so long as it doesn't inconvenience them.

You guys are wimps. (Dog guy gets partial points though, people are psychotic about their dogs). Here's an actual hot take:

Sex drive, while a strong biological impulse in most people, is nowhere NEAR as powerful or persuasive as we are conditioned to believe. Its almost entirely cultural and formed from Movies, Porn, Advertising and just about every other media artificially elevating it.

Everything, from lighter fare like niche fetish communities, to dark shit like rape, sexual violence and, in some cases misogynistic violence aimed just at women in general, is escalated and enabled by a mass permission structure where we all are just told, and to some extent believe, that Sex is SO powerful. Men become easily manipulated puppets to demonic seductresses. Sexuality can damage reasoning ability. Without sexual release men inevitably become violent brutes. A million other stupid, widely believed things. They have a kernel of truth obviously but they are exaggerated in the extreme, usually to excuse poor behavior by men who are trained from a young age that they not only can, but should turn into a drooling gorilla at the sight of tits.

The internet isnt horny. Men aremt primarily sex-driven. Its all an artificial cultural construct designed to promote bad behavior.

I think many dv situations (definitely not all) amount to kidnapping and you should legally be allowed to kill the person holding you against your will in order to escape.

Alex Jones was partially correct, they are in fact turning the frogs gay, and this extends to people as well.

Specifically, endocrine disrupting chemicals, which are commonly used as plasticizers and flame retardants, disrupt your endocrine system. I.e. they fuck with your hormones.

Exposure to environmental stimuli, including such chemicals, can cause changes in sexual behavior and characteristics. This was the driving force of the plot of Jurassic Park.

This cannot be proven without seriously unethical human trials, but exposing a every other animal to EDCs during development can and does cause changes in sexual development.

Edit: other pollutants are causing societal effects as well, there was a study on crawfish out of NC a while back that found significant behavioral changes (less aggression, more foraging) among males that lived in a stream which was exposed to sewage, and therefore low level antidepressant medication.

Robert A. Heinlein like to throw out different ideas to improve politics.

Two of my favorites. "Starship Troopers." In order to vote you have to do two years of service. In the book it's explicitly stated that most people are physically/mentally unsuited for actual combat and that they spend their time cleaning streets while being harassed by tough bosses. If a blind person in a wheelchair wants to serve they'll find them a job commensurate with their abilities.

In "Double Star" all representatives are elected by self identified groups. Instead of representing New York or London, they represent 'farmers' or 'small business owners' or 'gamers' or whatever group has enough members to qualify. And the same way you can move from California to Idaho you can change your group.
