Everyone have their own “hot takes” that either work as a valid opinion, or ragebait for drama. Personally, I have one that if I’m saying it to you all, maybe considered to be “too serious😈🤡”. The hot takes itself is . . .
God Never forbid man to do their [hobbies/fun], (toxic) society did
How about yours? I like to hear alongside the reason why ;)
(Edit: I’m aware that some takes may kinda too far and too deep, so let’s keep it casual)
Eating animals shouldn’t be socially acceptable and people who do should be treated like someone smoking in a public space.
My hot take is that meat shouldn’t at least not be substidized. Meat is comically cheap for what it is and everyone has to pay for it. I only treat myself to some fake salmon that is carrot based because it’s somehow more expensive than actual salmon. I often heard the argument that poor people would suffer because of it. If they REALLY need to eat meat then, like I don’t know, tough titty. Buy your own animal to torture.
People smoking in public are treated badly? Where? Since when?
Upvote for a truly hot take.

Anime is lame. Japanese media in general is childish, creepy, and not deserving of the artistic praise it gets.
That is like saying food is disgusting.
No, it’s like saying Japanese food is disgusting.
I had to put my sword away after remembering that we’re just posting opinions.
Valve is just as morally bankrupt as other video game companies, their products are just better.
When you move to a country because your country sucks, don’t bring the sucky parts of your country to the new one.
That’s why we buy Fender and not Gibson, eh?
My player Strat was made in Mexico, but all Gibson guitars are made in the depths of hell by demons who enjoy your pain from the headstock snapping off.
Yes.
Fuck yeah I do, but I’m not dumb enough to say them online.
Sometimes i use proprietary software over open source software because it is well crafted and easy to use.
You use proprietary software when it is good, I use proprietary software when the FOSS alternative is bad.
We’re not the same.
Without getting too specific: there are some completely harmless kinks between consenting adults that I still want to kink shame.
I feel like kinks ought to be private anyway. Sharing them feels intimate in a way that is a violation of shared civil spaces. What people do in private doesn’t bother me in the slightest, but if your kink requires making me uncomfortable by telling me what you’re into, I have every right to decline to be a part of your sexual gratification.
To be clear, I’m not talking about LGBTQ+ communities or people who like to wear revealing clothing. That’s not a kink. But if you’re dressed like a puppy and being led around on a leash with a visible erection, then you should be a little bit ashamed for involving me without my consent. There are private spaces for private conversations and private activities. I should be able to ride the bus without getting jizzed on by a masturbating homeless man.
Holding hands 🤢
Those sick fucks…
Furries. It’s weird to me that they wear their fetish outwardly.
Speaking of kinks: wanting to hurt people’s feelings for no other reason than to your own enjoyment would be labeled as sadism.
Let’s see if the commies and liberals well come out to bully me again.
“The state can’t make a utopia”
Humans can’t make a utopia. It simply isn’t possible, because satisfaction always requires sacrifice. The closest we can get to utopia is a world in which every person has their basic needs met, either through personal effort or collective effort. Food, shelter, safety, healthcare. If those needs are met, every person is fully free to pursue their own destiny without fear of mortal danger. Some people will still try to take advantage of others, because some people are never satisfied. So it will never be a utopia. But it will be objectively better than anarchy.
You realize indigenous people were providing these way before the concept of a state.
based. some people are just dicks and will do nothing but seek to exploit everyone and everything around them.
also people inherently need to feel superior and to control to other people, this is what drives so much social conflict.
Hot Take:
every high school should have an entry test >!(idk what it is called in english but it is a test to see how strong is your knowleage)!< because middle school is so unserious and can vary so much depending where you are from.
I was on a lower side of the entry for my high school but am somehow better than people who got almost full points! It is so unfair and doesn’t AT ALL take into account actual knowlage and take seats from people who are actually interested AND can keep up with the program.
If most of the class can’t keep up you end up with few talented students who are way ahead of the class, but must wait for the others because underpaid teachers can’t (or wont) do personilized classes to everyone so they just take the slowest student and set theirs standards to that.
Yes this is more like a rant, SUPER biased and I don’t still think the tests are a solution since they just fix the symtoms of the cause, but I stand by that some people should not be able to take schools they are taking no matter how many times they say they got there “fair and square”.
I know we’re doing hot takes but seriously please no more barriers to education that filter out people who had the misfortune of going to shitty schools. We gotta find some other way to help people where they are without impeding people who are more advanced; just kicking them out is a good way to entrench poverty.
I don’t think HS testing is great either but just to note that japan does it and they don’t have high poverty rates
Just pointing out statistical facts seems to be a very controversial thing to do, because it doesn’t fit into many people’s delusional narratives about the world works. done it here plenty of times and then got told that the us census and the us labor bureau are corrupt and evil orgs who only spread lies.
The three levels of lying, Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
People share statistics like they are proof of some conclusion or another. It’s a half-assed way of pretending their prejudices are supported by data. Racists like to share shit like “Black Americans represent 12% of the adult population, but 35% of the prison population” in order to imply that black people are inherently more likely to be criminals.
Of course, they won’t come out and say “white people are superior because they are more civilized” because that would be an odious and distasteful statement. But they will imply the fuck out of it, because these people don’t understand the relationship between statistics and evidence. A single statistic in isolation can be twisted to mean anything you like.
The very same racial disproportion could be used to concluse that systemic racism in the judicial system is more likely to convict black people and sentence them more harshly. In reality, it proves neither conclusion by itself. You have to control for socio-economic factors and prosecution rates and population density and education levels and employment numbers and and and.
The more statistics you have, the easier it is to selectively control for a desired outcome. But from a scientific perspective, there is nothing biological or psychological that is inherent to any particular “race” because the concept of race is mostly a conglomerate of prejudices to begin with.
statistics are a tool. you can misuse them and abuse them. i can use a hammer to build houses, or bash people in the skull.
in and of themselves if used properly, as in contextualised and verified, they are great. I’m talking about actual statistics themselves, not the bullshit cherry picked interpretation of them.
but yes, stupid people will freak out murders went up 400% because this year 4 people were murdered and last year it was one.
the quote you are references is from politician figures distorting statistics to push their agendas. just like they make scandals over sex in video games and media and other non-issues to rile up and lie to their voters. just like trump is going on about this wave of criminality that doesn’t exist.
This reminds me of a video I saw the other day by that guy (I think he works for The Daily Show) that goes to interview crazy MAGA people. One guy says that people will easily change their minds if shown proof they are wrong. Interviewer points out that many studies have shown that doesn’t work, people are deeply entrenched in their beliefs even if data proves them wrong, citing sources and everything. Random dude just goes “yea, I still think it works though”…
Like, holy shit, you couldn’t script some of this shit without people claiming your writing sucks.
the issue is that people who are wrong thing everyone else is wrong.
just like on lemmy every communist/anarchist thinks anyone who does agree with them is a nazi and if ONLY they would read the manifestos they’d see the light and truth of their beliefs… meanwhile also whining about religions folks who do the same things.
I have an appropriately silly one to share that people get tended to get upset about elsewhere.
Professional wrestling used to be interesting, but Vince McMahon destroyed it piece by piece. The “hot take” is that I have despised Vince McMahon since the early nineties, because he was an awful commentator and it’s been abundantly clear he’s human garbage for forty fucking years!
Strangely, people get mad about that!
And now his wife is in charge of the Department of Education…
I can tell you my hot takes that I am NOT too scared to say online:
I don’t mind game key cards.
I prefer iPhone over Android.
I think LLM is useful.
I still visit Reddit (as read-only).
All changes to MLB post integration were bad. Wearing black/navy jerseys during a day game in 95F heat in Atlanta or Cincinnati? Bad. The designated hitter? Bad. The New York Mets? Bad
Amen.
Though I must say I have enjoyed the pitch clock. I’d still sacrifice that for no dh though.
