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/

My phone is always in do not disturb mode and only 1 person can ring me while in do not disturb mode. All texts and other notifications are forever silenced. It helps me focus and not become dependent on my phone.
But it doesn't really bother me if other people's sounds are on. Bigger things to worry about imo.
You had me up to this point.
I speak for the entirely of Humanity when I say, this isn't chest pump you think it is. Stop using this as some kind of blanket statement to cover all bases.
It's just a phrase to express that this isn't a big deal. You've got to pick and choose your battles, and to most people, this one isn't worth fighting. You definitely don't speak for
especially in a post that you made specifically about unpopular opinions.
No, it's not "just a phrase" otherwise folk wouldn't pick up on it.
But that's my opinion.
It literally is just that. Most of us don't give a shit enough about it to fight against it. There are bigger problems to worry about is just a fact.
Also, are you suggesting that a literal phrase isn't a phrase, because it's your opinion?
1 guy on the internet calls you out on the absurdity of a "phrase" and you Immediately go through the mental gymnastics to defend it.
One guy on the Internet said "it's just a phrase", and you went through the mental gymnastics to defend it.
See how that works?
I'm not thinking its a chest pump. I'm literally saying that i dont think it's worth me stressing over it. It's a phrase to express that. But go on thumping your chest or whatever you do to communicate while pompously thinking you speak for all of humanity
We're aware of how beneath you this is.
That's what I'm impressing upon you.
Quit trying to speak for others. It makes you look pretentious and a fool.
You're not impressing anything on me, and instead are just welcoming yourself to my blocklist. Go waste someone else's time.
