Millenials get undeserved hate and derision by the older generations for rightfully calling us out on the bullshit we’re leaving them with.
Modern pop has a number of talented performers and it’s no better or worse overall then “the good old days.”
Most gourmet food is a scam and most foodies are wearing the emperor’s new clothes. Sure, a dry-aged steak is better then an average Outback steak. But after a certain point, most people can’t tell the difference between the white truffle oil and the triple distilled homogenized, organic, lactose-free white truffle oil.
As far gourmet food goes, my sister was trying to tell me how good “gourmet” coffee is. I just rolled my eyes; I put so much cream and sweetener in my coffee I don’t think the brand of coffee is going to effect how it tastes to me.
Steak tastes better more fully cooked, and it’s bizarre for you to care how I like my food or make class assumptions from it.
There’s nothing wrong with translating Shakespeare, same as the Bible can be retranslated past the KJV era.
Having things from the past censored for sensibilities is no big deal in an entertainment context, as long as the original continues to exist and is seen as definitive.
Egg nog should be sold year round. (Oddly, most people I know agree, but yet clearly the majority of people disagree, or they’d sell it.)
Applebees is actually pretty good. So is the Lost in Space movie and the first Fantastic Four movie.
Chocolate and nuts do not go together.
And boxes of truffles should always provide a key, so I don’t end up biting into one with goddamn nuts in it.
Truffle oil, in general, is for tossers.
“Me and X went to the store.” Pretend you’re not the most important thing in the universe and put other people first. Then you’re left with “me went to the store,” and if you are a native English speaker and that sounds okay to you, you should be forcefed white chocolate.
Led Zep songs DO sound the same, but that’s just fine. They still rule.
My beard is platinum, not gray, grey, or silver.
**Dances with Wolveswas just a remake of F Troop
Oh, and by the way (I can’t resist…must resist…can’t resist)
*“As god is my witness, I thought Balrogs could fly” *- Gandalf
I doubt it, unless your beard matches Marilyn Monroe’s and Jayne Mansfield’s hair.
Most people are pretty nice, generally. Not ignorant, not d!ckheads, not raving right/left loonies.
Unfortunately, no one pays attention to them, or reports about them or even mentions them (‘Good stories don’t make the Evening News’).
And now, with social Media of all shades, only the loud, controversial opinions or staments garner any attention.
As a result, we have ‘normalised’ the extremes, and people think they HAVE to take a position on any issue - even if it’s of little interest or consequence to them - and that they have to adopt one of the extremes.
Yes, 'twas always thus to some extent, but it’s getting worse.
See? Controversial! And think Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner, not platinum blonde
The following is a very unpopular attitude amongst Dopers, which is why I’m posting it here: I think Rush, the Canadian band that broke up a while back after 40-plus years, have some really great songs (and unfortunately a lot of filler). That’s why I saw them in concert 4 times.
And now one that’s a little more current: I haven’t seen “Green Room”, not yet anyway, and I do not understand why Spike Lee is getting so much press for disagreeing with it winning the Best Picture Oscar. I mean, really? We have a dookiestorm going on in DC and people are reporting about THIS? One person’s opinion about a movie? Get real.
With you on that. I like peanuts, by themselves, but I don’t like them mucking up perfectly good ice cream, brownies, cookies or fudge. Especially ice cream and fudge: how can I savor them if there’s something in them I have to chew?
Anime plots don’t make a lick of sense.
chicken and pickles shouldn’t be 500 miles near each other let alone on a plate or cooked together unless your making chicken salad let alone fried chicken
So I will tell the col. where he can take his “Nashville gold” and give directions on how to get there and what he go do with it and himself when he arrives there if he dosent like it
the problem with threads like this is they bring out the tryhard edgelords like a few post above ,
Ken Jeong needs to go back to doctoring and get off of my TV for always and forever.
mmm
My little brother used to fill a bowl of cereal and milk every evening, put it in the refrigerator overnight, and eat it for breakfast. He called it his “mushy”.
It’s been fun reading this and seeing which ones trigger my outrage. A few of you would have earned a stern shouting-at had you voiced such views in my presence.
I’ll throw in: **Les Miserables **is just fucking annoying. I mean, I’ve read the book and it was fine for literature of its time, and the film was well-made and well-acted, but the musical itself is maudlin shouty dreck that doesn’t deserve the adulation it gets.
The big hits “Paradise City” and “Sweet Child Of Mine” are the worst songs on Appetite For Destruction.
Pineapple is fine on pizza as long as it’s balanced with something spicy, like jalapenos or hot sausage.
Cheese has no place on a burger, though.
I have to disagree with that. Wile E. spoke in one of the Roadrunner cartoons and he chased Bugs Bunny in another because the Roadrunner had sprained a giblet.
