Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

The average American does not give a single shit about protecting minority or women's rights, from my lived experience. Not unless it affects them directly.

Google Stadia was actually a good gaming service.

Especially for Cyberpunk 2077.

Just one?

Social media is detrimental to individuals and society.

People in the net often agree, put people irl look at me like I'm the village idiot spouting conspiracy theories.

We should give death row inmates a choice: capital punishment, or be used in place of animals for product testing.

There are very few actual atheists - if any. Most "atheists" I've encountered are just edgy non-practising Christians. And I bet that goes for other parts of the world with other religions, too.

Python is just as bad if not worse then JavaScript. The fact that if you misspell a variable name, instead of giving an error like any sane language, Python code will still run, but do something different then it looks like it does, creating a hard to spot bug is just awful. The amount of time I have spent debugging python code only to find a tiny typo that any sane language would have caught before the code even ran is several weeks now, I can't imagine how much collective time has been lost over this, and a few other, horrible languages.
