Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Yes, but they also tend to get me banned from places, so we only talk about it in real life where people can handle real conversations.

Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

Kanye West aka Ye is not a genius. He is a narcissist. He doesn't write most of his music because he has a team of employees that do that for him but he takes all of the credit. He deserves to be dropped because of his comments and statements.

Goto statements do nothing wrong. They were just popular in a time when people were coming to grips with desk jobs, automation, and programming for the masses.

The US shouldn't be allowed to intervene in any other country unless an absolute majority of countries request so in an international forum (and in a publically broadcast meeting), and never if US companies are going to benefit of the destruction of said country or in its reconstruction. Furthermore, the US State Department undue influence in foreign countries' policy should be illegal and an imprisonable offense involving all the chain of command from the lesser underling until the President.

Live in a LCOL red state. Secretly pleased with all of the folks migrating in from blue states and hoping they can help to flip us to blue.

I hate the Foo fighters, I wish Kurt Cobain was still alive so he never had to hear the Foo fighters.
