Your keyboard only has 5 keys and a spacebar. Seeing as it clearly doesn't have enough keys to type words, what's the spacebar for? Its perfect for banging my head against. U O F K C [ ] Sorted. |

Related- people who stand at a bar drinking their drinks are twats. They were always twats, and even moreso now that the staff have to worry about sharing air with every disease ridden punter. I like standing at the bar, not in a wetherspoons but in most locals it's where the most interesting conversation is. I 100% agree with all the restrictions brought in, but I do miss standing/sitting at the bar if I go out. Same. I like standing to drink. Or a barstool at a push. Sitting at a table is weird, especially if there's only a couple of you. |

Fair enough, nothing against standing to drink per se. And maybe I've been burned by my own bartending experience, but the place I worked at for 3 years, the ones propping up the bar were just the most tiresome maudlin alcoholics who made the same jokes week in week out and thought they were being so witty with the young 'uns serving the drinks.
And obviously they'd be just pervy enough with female staff that it was noticable but not actionable.

Oh, for the bar staff, I can fully understand how you'd hate tedious old soaks who stand at the bar, trying to talk to you when busy. Or thinking they are funny. Give me a shelf away from the bar and I'm equally as happy.

Same. I like standing to drink. Or a barstool at a push. Sitting at a table is weird, especially if there's only a couple of you. It feels like segregating people as well. You stay in your own group of people and don't get the interaction with random people which can lead to a greater breadth of conversation. It's why I am getting so bored if I choose to go out now. |

On the other hand, I actively don't want to talk to randoms, give me corner in a quiet pub and I'm fairly content. I absolutely do not want to mingle.
Table service is great in that regard.

On the subject of alcohol....it's a bit shit, no-one is improved company through it's consumption, nights that largely revolve around it are in fact, intensely boring affairs and the world would generally be a better place had it never been invented.

Tea Pigs use tea leaves that are too large in their rooibos teabags, it takes too long to brew.

Alcohol is actually the primary foundation for society, at least evidence suggests it so. We stopped being hunter gatherers and settled in areas where natural fermentation happened as it was extremely high in nutrients. We created domestication around it. We invented bread as a way to store said alcohol in solid form. We invented storage and preservation techniques to keep said bread and alcohol. The storage areas became the central point of settlements which slowly led to hierarchy and organization. It even created organized religion as the storage areas became places of worship following feasts.
But yeah, modern alcohol can go do one. I can’t even physically drink anymore and I don’t miss it.

Not to mention the fact that it helped make unsanitary water safe to drink before we learned to separate shitting and drinking water from one another |

I think you're forgetting its importance in making other people tolerable for a while. |

The only correct way to orient toilet paper is with the free end hanging against the wall. Much neater.

These unpopular opinion threads are normally started by someone trying to show everyone how unique and interesting they are but always descend into people being cunts. How dare you. My mum says I'm unique and interesting, and that's all I need. (sort of agree with the second half of the sentence though) |

Game consoles going online was the worst thing ever. It ushered in an era of "release now fix later" whereupon almost any physical game requires an update - often in the region of several hundred gigs - just to fucking work properly. The only upside is when a publisher like Rockstar or CD Project Red really fucks up and releases a hilarious "we're sowwy" message.

I'm gonna be honest, the toilet paper roll argument is more ludicrous than the pineapple on pizza argument. At least the pineapple one is about taste. You like certain things, you don't like certain things. Certain foods go together, certain foods don't go together. Okay.
But the paper roll. I mean to be fair, the "neater" argument is better than the sanitary argument, but what does it matter? It's cylindrical. Every square of paper will equally be away and against the wall at some point.

I think the worst is when the game doesn't even work without the patch. In ten years time say, a physical copy of COD WW2 is going to be useless. |

Yes that aspect of a physical release just essentially being an unlock code is a bit bullshit tbh but the pc space has been doing this for ages but I suppose there's more protection when it comes to preservation compared to consoles. There's also the aspect of children being totally fine with not owning games and fine with online only games

Or maybe games would be released shit and never be improved because our expectations would be so much lower. I do, however, think the 32-bit era was the best video game era (even if the games haven’t aged well by today’s standards) which gives your argument some credit. |

I think you're forgetting its importance in making other people tolerable for a while. I used to think I'd had a lot of great nights out until I started going out on the same sort of nights with the same people and God were they dull. Two pints and people's voices raise considerably (as does the account of spit in the air) and they find the dullest shit hilarious. I sat there realising that had been me and those nights hadn't actually been any good, I'd just been pissed. I quit going after a while. Sadly it took me about 30 years to make this observation. I wasted so much time (and money) getting wasted. |

I love the fact that people care about toilet paper. It's stupid and doesn't matter in the slightest.
I leave mine on top of the dunny with about 11 leaves leaves unrolled hanging in front of the tank.

The PC isn't such a closed system though. Once the game console itself dies, there's a good chance all the updates are kaput also. There are workarounds but they're a pain in the ass.
And once the servers go down, you're completely fucked. It's a nightmare for collectors.
