Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I'm sure your mom and pop outfit will compete very effectively against megacorps that own the marketplaces, advertising outlets, and regulatory framework, hell I'm sure it's a walk in the park to operate at a loss for decades while their lawyers peel back every transaction you process to find the smallest irregularities.
And that's just assuming they don't send a goonsquad to burn you and your place.
Stay poor then. No one will force you to join society. Go start a commune
Lol it would be difficult for me to stay poor. But great argument, very stirring, really refuted my points and added a lot to think about.
Even if your parents fund the commune, you can still live as a poor person.
Aww that's precious.
Hey maybe develop a personality?
It will make you less reactionary when people threaten the status qoe, or at least give you some more interesting sentences to repeat to strangers.
My personality is like 80% of why I have been so wildly successful in life.
No one here threatens the status quo because there are insufficient numbers of people who believe this silly shit.
Personally I find it weird you feel so threatened by me being fine with you living a Walden-esque life of pretend-poverty. Idc what you do man. Knock yourself out.
Is the other 20% your willingness to dig through 3 day old threads, or your incredible prose? Or is it just assuming everyone who holds a different opinion than you is poor? Oh wait those are all aspects of your personality.
Btw the people that made this website believe that silly shit.
It's mostly my incredible prose coupled with my ability to find years-old threads on the internet, but that's because the e-learning community has always done a baller job of documenting solutions.
I stand on the shoulders of giants.
Also I don't care what the original devs believed. They made a passable forum but their world views are meaningless.
Finally, I didn't assume you're poor. I assumed you wanted to pretend you're poor. That's so much worse.
"Finally, I didn’t assume you’re poor. I assumed you wanted to pretend you’re poor. That’s so much worse."
"Stay poor then"
I think you need some more e-learning, preferably somewhere the content is locked so you can't pollute it.
Lmao it's really gonna piss you off to know that I literally develop training programs for major corporations.
But yeah go be poor if you want. It's your life man. Be a vegan on a commune.
Good thing most users will just click through the drivel you write. I'll follow suit.
Do it from your commune! Best of both worlds.
