Diamonds are boring and look like glass, opals are far far nicer gem settings. I find their properties much more interesting than how they look (which is boring), they are SUPER hard. Scientists do pressure tests with synthetic diamonds, they put materials between the tips of two diamonds and then add a lot of pressure. Pressures reached are so high entirely new materials are created. They are even doing those with potent explosives creating hundred thousands of atmospheres of pressure, for a split second. Fascinating stuff, google ''diamond anvil cell'' to read about those experiments.

Sushi is a trendy yuppie food that is terribly overrated.
Dumplings are terribly underrated as a food.

Sushi is a trendy yuppie food that is terribly overrated. Yes. YES! Sushi is just cold sludgy ocean refuse and tons of people eat it simply to be hip & trendy. Its like with modern art, 99% of it is just ridiculous trash a 3 year old could have painted with their dirty fingers and people know it, but yet they stand around it and try to interpret & ''understand'' it because they are afraid that they are not cool any longer if they admit that its garbage.

The major problem with people today is in inability to say 'Why'. I see it as a reddit reader, a facebook poster and a forum moderator. Someone will say that X is a racist or a bigot or a hater or some other bad thing and not provide any evidence to back it up. If we are very lucky they might provide an unrelated 'guilt by association' factoid like X is a homophobe because X belongs to a cooking club. My favourite bit of disconnected thinking is when someone reports a long post that is on point to a forum topic, labels it 'hate speech' and doesn't actually point out the bit that is 'hate speech'.
Asking me to censor hate speech without being very specific is like asking an atheist to choose which Muslim sect is the legitimate one. It's too broad a frame of reference and it's not something I care about at all.

In all seriousness, if repeatedly misusing the report function isn't an offence already, it should be made one.
Barest minimum, its wasting finite moderation resources and indirectly reducing the odds of REAL issues being dealt with. And if its targeted against specific invividuals, groups or agendas, its an attempt to weaponise the reporting function, and a form of harrassment against the target(s).

Exceptions for exceptional people. You'd be surprised how much fun you can have with the Report button. Seriously. Although one could argue I was targeting the mods cause one of em almost had a heart attack, or so I'm told. ...good times.

Buns with seeds on top of them. Now I am being a huge hippo crit, hippie crit, hypno crite...... phony here because I do buy my share of buns with seeds on the top, usually a 'seems like a good idea at the time' but, half the seeds never end up on the bun or in your tummy, they end up stuck your teeth, or on the counter or on the floor or all over the place.

Domesticized animals should be bred for function, and only for function, not for appearance.
That includes pets, and it includes cats. Function is physical and mental health, lifespan, and purpose. Purpose, that is a dog for company should primarily be social, not a fighter, hunter or race runner, for example.
Breeding dogs for looks, and shows, has turned out to be complete disaster of cruelty to animals. Now, apparently, the process is repeated for cats. Sad.

Gasoline-powered SUVs are fun and necessary vehicles; they are quiet and the ground clearance means you can go almost anywhere, at least if you ticked that 4WD box. Sure, EVs are nice, but the battery pack is fragile and heavy, which makes them ill-suited for the countryside.

I have a real bone to pick with dieticians. (reinforced by reading yet another diets are bad article today).
Dieticians are mostly large failures. They have been preaching the same things for years and don't seem to realize what they preach makes no sense and does not work.
"Diets are bad, they contribute to yo yo weight loss. Stop dieting!" Is one large mantra and then they follow that up by telling you to go on a diet!
How is this so? Well they say don't diet but just eat healthier and have more fruits and veggies, cut back on sugar and salt...yada yada yada THAT IS A DIET!

I have a real bone to pick with dieticians. You and me both. Does it still count as being unpopular opinion? Yeah, I bet it does. what they preach makes no sense and does not work. Therein lies the problem. I wish. Whenever I go on a weight loss diet, I start gaining weight. There's no yo-yo, just the ever rising rocket that is my weight. eat healthier and have more fruits and veggies, cut back on sugar and salt TBH, that is good advice though.

No sugar for pleasure or comfort. It's a drug. Like all drug addictions, it can be broken. And it makes you fat through the insulin system, regardless how much you eat.
Long walks. You actually don't lose weight unless you reach the 2 hour mark. Shorter walks are of course still very good for you, even if they don't do anything about your weight. But regular 2 hour walks is a reliable and good way to loose weight. Why that is, is partly mysterious. That you don't lose weight by shorter walks, is no mystery. Walking hardly requires any calories. That you do loose weight as the durations goes longer, that is the mystery. Hypotheses: 1 The body has some system of weighing itself when you move, and decides that the weight-parameter needs to be dialed down. 2 As glycogen depots get exhausted, the fat burning starts, and when it gets going it doesn't stop again until after many hours, even after you've stopped walking. You will not get hungry again for a good while, because your body is already "eating".

They were indeed so bad on multiple levels (except for the cgi, which was groundbreaking for the late 90's early 2000's) that even the deeply flawed new entries in the franchise were all significantly better, "Mary Sue" Rey and all.

I thought that was the prevailing opinion (regardless of what one might’ve thought of the sequel trilogy). Regardless, I agree completely. The sequel trilogy was far better, both individually and collectively.

The sequel trilogy was far better, both individually and collectively. I think it became an unpopular opinion, when the sequels came along, because the prequels are all absolute masterpieces compared to that ... But to be completely honest, I never thought the prequels were bad. I was kinda disappointed they started off on the tone that they were made for children. That was unnecessary, but that was obviously the place Lucas had gone to in the intervening years. They still had that Star Wars feeling, the sequels don't. I was entertained, anyway. Even by Jar Jar. I'm never going to complain about the prequels.

Here we go. The Halo show is cliche, ridden with cardboard characterizations, and dulkl. The special effects are run of the mill for the time and everything that happens can be predicted by a not overly bright eight year old. Honestly, the show would have improved tenfold if the mysterious alien McGuffin had turned everyone into penguins or even puffins.
I will never get that time back. #regrets
