Mario Kart World Dealership

The amount of made-up businesses in this game is very impressive. This looks like a real dealership. #mariokartworld #switch2

Movies just aren’t very good anymore.

Yes, I recognize that there are outliers. I understand that the industry is saturated. I know that “mainstream” does not equate to quality. But good night…. Movies are not what they used to be. Now sure, I’ve aged, but I’m still in my early 30’s. Why is every movie putting me to sleep? They all feel unnecessarily long, the plots are ill contrived or just low effort, and nothing is iconic or memorable anymore. Is Hollywood in its end days? I’m of the impression that movies are going to die off in favor of TV and mini-series. Perhaps it’s our collective attention spans being diminished by social media, but honestly it feels more like Hollywood producers don’t care to create art anymore—just to profit off of mass produced garbage.

Maybe this isn’t an unpopular opinion. What do you think?

Boneless wings are far superior to tradition wings.

"But boneless wings aren't even wings, they're chicken nuggets!" Ok, fine. They are big ass chicken nuggets and chicken nuggets are awesome.

When I'm eating chicken wings, I want to pick up a chicken wing, put it in my mouth, and eat all of it. End of story. I paid for 100% of the food, and I eat 100% of the food. Its delicious and easy.

Traditional wings can't compete. It's a chore to find the actual meat among all of the cartilage, fat, and gristle. Any perceived enhanced flavor of the dark meat is immediately negated by the rest of the undesirable crap in there.

Finally, you end up eating like 40% what's on your plate. You're left with a gigantic pile of bones that is taken away from you at the end meal while you reach for a toothpick to remove all of the animal waste that is wedged between your teeth.

The middle seat is the best seat on an airplane.

I prefere the middle seat on airplanes with the assumption that the two strangers are not crazy.

Pros: Not having your shoulder and leg bumped by every single person that walks by.

Getting up to use the bathroom isn't as complicated as the window seat.

It actually has the most leg room after take off. After take off, you are allowed to have your personal item under your legs instead. Switching gives you more leg room than the other seats.

It's actually the least awkward seat when recieving snacks. No big reach from the attendant.

You can almost always get really close to the front of the plane if you are booking closer to the flight.

You by far get the best AC fan.

It's fun to sit in awkwardly when the ailse seat is a no show but the window seat is still there.

If you make 150k but work 60 hour weeks, you're actually making 100k

Ever since I've moved to North America from Europe, I've noticed that a ton of people like to proudly proclaim how they make comparatively good money, solid 6 figures. Many of them doing things that, intuitively, don't sound like they'd earn that much, e.g., trades, but also things like sales etc.

Upon further questioning, it almost inevitably comes up that these people work way more than 40 hours per week.

While they may actually earn, say, 150k a year, in a debate where salaries are being compared, it makes no sense to treat them as a 150k earner, since they work extra hours. This doesn't even take into account working through holidays, while sick, and not taking time off, but that's just extra math people won't feel like doing anyway, so normalizing to a 40h workweek should be enough.

*edit:

Clearly I got the right subreddit for this. Now, just something that most people seem to have missed:

I specifically wrote that I'm talking about "a debate where salaries are being compared". Unless you want to compare apples and lettuce, you should be comparing at a standardized number of hours. Taxes, how much hits your bank account etc. is pretty much irrelevant for what I'm saying.

Also, I'm not judging anyone for choosing to work extra/fewer hours. That's your (hopefully voluntary) decision, obviously. But the point stands that if you work 50% more time than me and end up with 50% more money, when we're comparing, you're making the same amount I am, you're just working more. If I decided to work 50% more, I'd get the same amount in my bank account. In other words, you're not better paid, you work more.

Sushi absolutely sucks.

Being an Asian and having gone to Japan 5 times I can confidently say that sushi sucks. I went to a Michelin star restaurant in Japan that specialises in sushi. It was mediocre.

Sushi just lacks flavour. It's basically just fish and sour rice in between seaweed. It needs some flavour. Some things in life are simple and delicious but some things are not like that such as sushi. Japanese foods like ramen and tonkatsu are better.
