Well this is awkward

People are entitled to having hot takes if they are the right ones. Obviously, some unpopular opinions are not worth giving time for, since they are simply too ridiculous to entertain. But every so often, someone on the Internet poses an idea that makes you think about why certain standards and customs even exist. Or sometimes it's just a well-supported critique of a popular culture phenomenon. Regardless, these are perhaps the few instances in which people online just might be giving the Inter…

Christmasssssssss is coming up, and I am per usual, per every year, per every decade, STRESSED. Running about to find gifts, gahhh, it's absolutely exhausting and my family is never happy with what I get them anyway, but it's not like I have a choice, because they would be way more offended if I didn't get them anything at all. So, you win some, you lose some. Now that I am done with my short holiday rant, let's get on to the unpopular opinions. Every so often, I make a point to post the most r…

Tada, November will be gone in a flash, and before we know it, December will be upon us with a big Christmas-y bang, and the holiday shopping season will have us scrambling between malls, trying to find the perfect gift for our family, friends, and loved ones. Christmas carols will be ringing in our ears, our eyes will be blinded by tall, beaming Christmas trees, and our mother will be calling us non-stop, making sure we got the yearly holiday invite as if we would dare not show up. Holidays ar…

Last week I was at a friend's birthday party, sipping some beer, chilling, and observing everyone quietly from the side, but admittedly tuning into conversations that were happening around me. I was surprised, per usual, at the sheer audacity some people have when they put down others for having a different opinion. Tell me you are insecure, without telling me you are insecure. Not everybody has to agree with you. Moreover, it's probably best that they don't. If you are always surrounded by lik…

Hello darkness my old friend

When you hit the hornet's nest with a bat...

May hit close to home.

What is right is wrong, and vice versa… in other words, there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, although there will be plenty who will disagree with that bold statement. The thing is, everything in this world is pretty much subjective, and we've invented morals to create some sort of order in society. Consequently, discerning what is truly right and what is wrong becomes an arduous endeavor. However, the rampant prevalence of extreme opinions has fostered the emergence of the dreaded phenomenon known a…

Differentiating right from wrong isn't exactly a piece of cake, as everything depends on perspective, which we all know is subjective, making it difficult to determine said right from wrong. However, the proliferation of extreme opinions has led to the rise of the ‘oh so dreaded’ cancel culture, a merciless and unforgiving phenomenon where people basically tell you to shove it on every online platform that exists. Making mistakes is no longer acceptable, and personal growth feels unattainable.…

Browse the web at your own risk; lest you be attacked by a sea of anonymous piranhas who are obviously leading such miserable lives that the only comfort they can find is being rude to strangers over the internet, hiding mysteriously behind a screen, donning a Reddit avatar. You think Karen customers are bad? Try those infuriatingly self-righteous people who are pro-cancel culture. It's well known that cancel culture is vicious; god forbid you don't agree with social norms. Free speech who? Fre…

Um...

Enter at your own risk

Some people's brains are hardwired to be a tiny bit stranger than most, and before you say 'well everyone is entitled to their own opinion', I absolutely agree, the two don't necessarily contradict one another. Along with the right to free speech comes the right to judge . And if you're looking for opinions, simply look up 'Reddit', or more specifically, r/unpopularopinions. There you will find brave souls who take an anonymous stand. If you take things personally, you might not want to pay thi…

Yikes...

We all believe that if we witnessed something terrible taking place, we'd certainly take some sort of action to help the person in trouble. Then why are there so many videos rampant online showing what psychologists like to call ‘The Bystander Effect’? For those of you who don't know, this term, otherwise known as ‘Bystander Apathy’, is when something happens right in front of you and a bunch of other people's eyes, yet none of you step in or do anything. Why? For some weird reason, the presenc…
