šŸ”„ Post Your Hot Takes... Even the Oddly Specific Ones

I believe people who chew with their mouths open have stupid parents, are stupid themselves, and will have stupid children.

This got way worse after I moved south. Say what you mean and mean what you say. I think ā€œget to the pointā€ is always on the tip of my tongue, especially at work.

Itā€™s like this in Texas too, sort of where south meets west.

You just have to read between the leaves. Your responsibility to learn how to be Roman when in Rome.

Maybe not true for the antebellum south but in many regions of the SW, keep in mind the Wild West was only a couple generations ago.

Yankees with attitudes would have been shot in bar brawls and duels just for talking the way they do, and we still maintain encapsulated manners from an era where a sharp tongue was tempered by the knowledge that everyone has a gun.

Adding to the list:

  • when people move to Texas and then work to make Texas like home instead of just going home.

I guess I interpreted your original complaint differently since you also mentioned baby showers and birthday parties and contrasted that with ā€œmilestones tied to achievement.ā€ If youā€™re just saying that too many people spend too much money that they donā€™t have on wedding celebrations, I completely agree. My wife and I spent less than $2k on our wedding including venue, food, decorations, and clothing.

But I absolutely think that that weddings, birthday parties, and baby showers are good celebrations to have when the budgets are kept well within the means of the planners.

Hawaiian pizza is delicious.

Hymns are better than worship songs.

No one over 50 should be able to vote since they will be dead by the time their policies come to fruition.

Manicures and pedicures are great and men should normalize them.

If anyone says theres no good modern music, I assume you donā€™t know how to use the internet.

Organizing books by color instead of subject means you canā€™t read.

Steak knives are a waste of money.

Golf is stupid. Golfers are even more douchey than someone with a necklace.

Everyone needs to go to a few other countries to grow. Your small town isnā€™t as great as you think it is.

Iā€™m in the pro-lettuce camp. Ceasar salads, wedge salads, low-carb wraps, itā€™s great.

All drugs should be legal, over the counter, but regulated.

Vehicles are tools, not art.

Marrying some who has never had sex before will cause problems later in your relationship.

For sure.

What kind of heathens do this?

I mentioned it another thread but I still canā€™t believe golf was invented by the same folks who invented Kabar tossing.

Yep.

I donā€™t disagree but this has worked well for my cousin (to date).

The frequency at which you update your Facebook status with your daily musings is a direct measure of how messed up you are.

Oasis are potentially the most overrated band in the history of rock music. They are Spice Girls for ā€œthe ladsā€, or for people just holding onto the 90s in a cringy way. 50 years from now they should be known as nothing more than a band that had a couple of catchy crowd singalongs. Some people call Liam the last remaining rockstar, to me heā€™s just a derivative caricature.

Eggy custard rice is the best bulking meal. Eggs done in the microwave only enough to slightly cook them but still 90% runny. The way it lubricates the rice making it super easy to go down can make you get a surprising amount of food and protein healthily and quickly.

All of us guys following most top-flight sports are idiots. Integrity has gone. Gone are the days of proper coaches, proper scouting unearthing a gem, loyalty, and all that. Money. Money. Money. Sure, anomalies can happen but most clubs are just making up the numbers and feeding the biggest spenders. And all the fans of these biggest clubs do is gloat about how big their club is and how much better their club is despite having 5x of the resources of the team they managed to beat. I feel emotionally connected to some top clubs, but the real sport is in the lower leagues.

People who only really like one genre of music are usually fairly rubbish.

People who put vinegar on salad and or curry and etc are supremely egregious (sorry Mum!!!).

Americanā€™s who do the whole PERIOD thing, usually at the end of a really self-righteous speech should be heavily mocked and same goes for Brits who say: END OF!! within a similar context.

Another one for the Brits Iā€™ve noticed more and more is people saying ā€œFact.ā€ at the end of stuff.

Hawaiian pizza is repugnant.

No one under 30 should vote as there would be no more money left after their policies come to fruition.

If anyone says thereā€™s no good modern music, I assume theyā€™ve been on the internet.

Steak knives are a waste of money if youā€™re a vegan.

Golf is stupid. Golfers are wealthy. Golfers are not stupid.

Everyone needs to go to Africa, the Middle East or Chicago to grow. Your small town is better than you think.

All drugs should be legal. We should be allowed to shoot addicts on sight.

Vehicles are art. Most drivers are tools.

Donā€™t ask about another personā€™s past sexual history.

My favorite thing to piss off the southerners at work is if someone disagrees with me or gives pushback about doing a task, ā€œthis is why you guys lost the war.ā€

Unrelated but hereā€™s another; Bruce Springsteen blows.
