The Eagles are not as amazing as everyone thinks.

That it's best so sort comments from lowest scores to highest to get the actual unpopular opinions.
Milk should be poured before the cereal. I've always done this because pouring milk on top of the cereal gets the top wet and also kind of pushes the cereal down. I love crunchy cereal

Cycling helmets should not be mandated. If someone is dumb enough to cycle without one, that's on them.
I believe significantly more people would cycle if helmets were not required by law.
Ooh, I'll beat your unpopularity here.
Cycling on the sidewalk in suburban areas is often safer than cycling on the road, and should not be discouraged.

It's anything about which people are in denial, be it the need for capitalism, the western role in Ukrain, the environmental impact of a single consumer, the validity of political objectives of the opposition, the impact of immigration, ...
My ultimate opinion is that we need to step back and notice that the denial is built on purpose and that the goal can't be to push for the victory of the own team. There needs to be understanding of the underlying problems that includes the view of the other teams to change the mechanisms that create them.
If we can't do that then all the manipulation is already the best strategy to force humanity into progress.
COD sucks. The only good ones were world at war and the original modern warfare series. That's it. All others aren't worth a shit.
Now before you respond, yes I know there are many people that agree with this, but with people I know in real life this is unpopular.

A small but notable percentage of low income, low education people are just fuckwits who make terrible decisions. They had access to opportunities, they could have overcome their circumstances with just a little effort but smoking cones and stealing shit was less effort so they did that and these people are a comparable drain on society as the uber rich.
But that's just inconsistent with the state of of current scientific knowledge.
Being poor makes you less likely to make a long term decision, not the other way around. In societies where income varies from season to season, you literally have less smokers when the money situation is good and more when the situation is bad. Long story short fighting for survival is extremely cognitively tasking. Thinking and planing is, literally, harder if you burned those resources on "what to put on the table... today", problems.

I'm frustrated more people are complacent with the state of the world, including myself.
If you use queerphobia against others as a way to keep yourself in the closet, then you deserve to get outed.
