Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

This poster is a terrible person.

We've done this like dozens of times already.

I think there was one thread asking posters' opinion of me but this is the first time I've seen someone call me terrible in this one.

It's a prank: the link just takes you to your own profile, not a specific user. (I think I was the first person to do it on Atlas, as far as I know)

I clicked on it and was thinking to myself "I know I'm not very popular, but I wouldn't consider myself to be awful per se. Just somebody nobody would really hang out with outside of the forum."

Porn is bad for your health

As somebody who suffered a terrible porn addiction in 2017 and spent the first eight months of 2018 fiercely fighting to get over it, saying it's "bad" is the biggest understatement I think I have seen in at least a month

Porn is bad for your health

I think there actually is real scientific statistical evidence that exists to prove this statement as fact.

We completely agree on this one

Gerrymandering is not that big of a deal and way over blown by people

The electoral college would be a good system of it abolished the 435 representative rule and the representative quantity increases by decade along with population, to help create a semi stronger balance of it being like the popular vote while also avoiding the hassle of an amendment

Being overly loud or obnoxious in a public place (i.e., a lobby of a bank, doctor's office, the DMV, etc.) - even if you are laughing with a friend or being "friendly" with the receptionist or something - is not a sign of your overwhelmingly positive nature or good spirit ... it's a character flaw that demonstrates a ridiculously oblivious nature and self-centered attitude.  The types of jolly old idiots who sit through a short green light because they were laughing with the person in the front seat, and then they speed through the intersection as it turns yellow, if you will.

I agree if they do it on purpose

The age of consent should be 16 across every state

Wisconsin is neither a Safe D nor a Safe R state. It is a solid purple state that will remain competitive for the foreseeable future.

I can see the logic there

[morgankingsley]

What the TX GOP has done with Austin’s congressional lines and what MD dems have done with Western MD and Baltimore exurbs ought to be criminal, and anybody who unironically supports gerrymandering on either side of the aisle is a piece of crap.

I honestly don't give a damn either way about it. I don't support or oppose it at all.

I genuinely, unironically believe that if Russia did interfere with the 2016 election, we honestly 158 percent deserved it and we should grow the f-ck up and stop whining about it, get over it, and actually focus on the things that really matter. He won, get the f-ck over it. It's been two years, and whining about it at this point is so immature that a toddler would look like Jimmy Carter next to you by comparison in maturity standards
