Controversial Opinions (For Everything Other Than DC Comics)

He's a popular member of the "Skeptic Community." I used to ignore the stuff relating to him that came up in my Youtube feed, but as I've been watching more political stuff, he and others show up more and more so I began checking out some of his clips and debates he's had with people. It's actually comical how pompous he his while misinterpeting any number of subjects.

I am pretty well in-bedded with the "Skeptic Community" and I haven't heard of him.


Listened to him a little. His take on feminism is crap. So, yeah, might be a dick.

Why oh why do some people think Sargon of Akkad is some sort of intellectual? He calls himself a "classical liberal" but has a real misunderstanding of things like feminism and class.

Youtube used to recommend that clown to me all the time. It took me forever to weed that idiot out of my feed.
Not controversial opinion: The Youtube recommendation algorithm is trash.

So is it's targeted ad algorithm. I keep getting Prager U ads, despite constantly trying to skip them, even exiting YouTube if need be to avoid the lies, half truths, and out of context statements they make.

I get why Cardi B is famous, she's basically a ghetto Cinderella story for women of color who are often marginalized. As a black women I get that, I really do. But her music is garbage.

Crazy how her "ratchet personality" is more interesting than her music. Whatever sells I suppose.

The company I work for recently unblocked Youtube from our network so as I was working by myself one Saturday, I decided to listen to some music. I went to Youtube (the first time ever from my work station on our company network) and in the suggestions list found nearly all of the same bands and songs I'd been listening to on my Chromebook here at home.
The only thing I can figure is that I'd logged into my work Outlook email account a couple of times from home and somehow the Youtube algorithm used it to figure out I was the same person. The whole thing creeped me out a little.

I'm beginning to see the similarity between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Donald Trump.

Pundits make up stupid remarks that Ocasio-Cortez never actually said and conservatives react to her and judge her intelligence as if she actually said them.

Trump says stupid things consistently and conservatives react to him and judge his intelligence as if he never said them.

Now let's go rake some forests.

How is that similar? Sounds like the complete opposite. It's like conservatives routinely attacked Obama for things he DIDN"T do and are silent when Trump now actually does them.

Because the first line was a joke setting up the rest.

Lady Gaga tried to just sing music initially, but failed to get much notice. It's only after she went all outlandish that anyone cared for what her music was like.

Well then Trump and I are actually similar, in that we are both idiots.

But Lady Gaga is actually talented.

She is. I initially dismissed her because all I heard about was the outlandish gimmicks. Then I heard her sing. But I get that a performer today sometimes does crazy things to get noticed in the crowd.

This is an interesting observation that deserves its own thread.

Supposedly, the record company pressured Gaga into being more "sexy" and she was like FINE, but I'll go it on my own terms and we got the zany sexy Gaga vs the commercial "sexy" Gaga we might have gotten otherwise.
