wholly correct, this dynamic really came to fruition in the early 2000s. i came to detest star wars through the endless slog of shitty videogame releases we had to sell when i worked at funcoland/gamestop way back then. obviously this has only been magnified several times over since the disney acquisition

another controversial opinion i hold is that all the wacky david icke/alex jones crank shit is promoted specifically to discredit legitimate conspiracy research

I always thought that some of the expanded universe books that were written in the 80's and 90's were fantastic and would have made very enjoyable films (this was all per-prequels). of course none of the matters now anyways since the new movies decided to take a shit on any and all canon of the expanded universe. oh well.

while not a sequel - I did enjoy Rouge One. that's about it as far as the new movies go - not the controversial I suppose though.

A part of me is quite enjoying the Schadenfreude of all the plague rats killing themselves lately.

Like, I honestly don't care about them or their families because their deaths were entirely preventable. is that controversial? I feel like a lot of people share similar views lately.....

if someone refuses the vaccine and dies of covid, it is not true that their death was "entirely preventable". it is not guaranteed they wouldnt have died if they had been vaccinated. although i agree they should get vaccinated, and if they do, they will likely be much less sick, and be less likely to die. i would rather the pro-vaccine people didnt exaggerate the benefits. its probably of benefit to the general community if the anti-vaccine people got vaccinated, and so it is maybe a better strategy to stick to actual facts instead of exaggerations

what about people who have shit diets? will we start grading the healthcare people deserve based on how reasonable their lifestyle is?

a lot of people in america have a very favorable view of restricting access to healthcare on the basis of "personal responsibility"

i am not one of them however

I first heard it after the election last year (thanks Philly!) but "fuck around and find out" has become one of my favorite sayings. It actually comes up quite a lot....

Fuck With Me and Find Out
Song by Wesley Willis
Lyrics
You think you can get away with murder
You don't know who you're fooling with
I'm going to shoot you with my BB gun
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Keep on with the shit
Keep on talking shit to me, and I will bust you in your chops
Plus I'm going to knock your block off
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Gingerbread knocked me to the floor
He picked up a stick and hit me upside the head once and in the back six times
He also BB'ed me in the back with his BB gun
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out
Fuck with me and find out

Same + Van Halen, KISS, Motley Crue and all glam, nirvana, power metal.

Metallica is also the most overrated band of all time, easily.

Are those really still controversial, zim?

8 string guitars: only meshuggah, batushka, sleep token and tosin abasi really use them in a creative way, AFAIK.

Djent bands suck. I don't consider meshuggah djent.

I have mixed feelings about churches and taxes. No question megachurches and larger mosques, temples etc should though.

Smaller churches are not really businesses they act more as community centers. I totally get the desire to tax them and do not find it offensive but considering non profits don't pay taxes I do not see the difference, how cannyou tax one but not both?

the issue is that how much tax they pay should not be changed by the fact they are religious businesses/companies/groups/whatever
