Depends. In life, sure. When commuting, not really. So I'll disagree I guess.

Open Source products by and large have terrible user interfaces, and that's a big part of why open source will never overthrow proprietary.

Megan September 10th, 2022 2:53 AM

I mean we could always start comparing different UIs. What's better: Adobe Photoshop or Krita? Or how about Blender or Maya 3D? There's some really complex things on both sides. And yes, you relativate your statement with "by and large" but I'm not gonna give you that! :P

We need to replace all sppons and forks with sporks!

It's also a game made by FromSoftware who is a Japanese developer. And it's being used currently to call out all the western open world RPG developers who pull these shenanigans.

Other ones are Zelda BotW (a game that I actually do not like) or the Xenoblade games.

Sheep September 10th, 2022 4:06 AM

Noo, I like having spoons and forks individually!

Books are much better than movies.

doreMi♪ September 10th, 2022 5:07 AM

disagrees. both have there pros and cons but books can never replicate the same feeling a visual-audio medium can in terms of fully immersing myself in the story/world. however, if a book gets adapted into a movie then the source material is vastly superior than it's adaptation (not always), books are also more detailed and longer- something that i enjoy. they also help improve my english as well. but as stated above, it just can't compare to the impact a good film will present. especially if a scene is thrilling or it's a fight scene.

80's-90's anime look more aesthetically pleasing than most of the new ones.

StCooler September 10th, 2022 8:22 AM

I would agree due to boomer nostalgia, but I have never watched any recent animes lol.
I abstain :)

Sport is defined by the competitive aspect, not the physical one.
Spoiler:
Thus, chess is a sport, esports are sports.

ReKoil September 10th, 2022 11:30 AM

The way sports usually are, I'd probably agree to that, even if I do dislike how competitiveness is always such a major part of it. It brings out a lot of bad qualities in people.

Public college should be tuition free.

Megan September 11th, 2022 3:37 AM

Agree, but someone still ends up paying and be it just the tax payer. It's another one of these things that should be pretty straight forward in theory but ends up being complicated in practice...

Big plushes are better than small ones!

StCooler September 11th, 2022 3:28 PM

I agree! Smaller plushies can embellish a room / make a room cuter, but you can hug big plushies!

E-sports are sports.

The hidden question was "would you define a practice as a sport because it is competitive or because it requires physical abilities?"
It's because I still cannot get over chess being called a sport while some people contest that fitness is one T_T
And I noticed that those defending chess being a sport do because there is a competitive aspect to chess, while fitness overall is mainly about being in shape. So competition seem more important to some people to define a sport, rather than the physical aspect.

_confused_piplup_ September 11th, 2022 10:47 PM

Agree. They are different, but they rely under the same big category. It's always about skills and practice.

Sweet breakfast is the best

Sheep September 12th, 2022 1:04 AM

Disagree, I prefer savory! But sweet can be good too, depends on the meal.

It's more enjoyable to do squats than pushups.

StCooler September 12th, 2022 2:28 AM

Agree! That's why I never skip leg day :)
(Also agree if we consider their versions with barbells: barbell squat feels better than bench press (bench press is basically a flipped push-up with a barbell)
If I don't close this parenthesis the computer scientists / programmers / mathematicians of this site will become mad. )

People prefer a superhero that is human rather than a superhero that shows no weakness.

ReKoil September 12th, 2022 10:05 AM

There's people who'd prefer either of those. I got no idea which would be more in demand.
I'll just Disagree.

People are addicted to Social Media.

_confused_piplup_ September 12th, 2022 10:18 PM

Agree. It goes from person to person, but like I have seen people of my age saying people with no social medias are weird. This says a lot tbh.

News sometimes don't even try to talk properly about a fact at all, they just want to catch the reader's attention.

StCooler September 13th, 2022 2:39 AM

Agree... On the Internet some media just write an attractive title while the article says the opposite... Oh hi Buzzfeed, I didn't see you there!

Everything always gets worse, except for what you can act upon.

ReKoil September 13th, 2022 11:46 AM

Well.... not everything. Disagree.

Reheated food doesn't taste as good as when it was originally prepared.

Megan September 13th, 2022 8:31 PM

Reheated food just simply does not have this evenly cooked feel to it. It's just stuff thrown together and put into a microwave. I guess you could say the optics already lower the quality a little, as well. So, agree.

Voting with your wallet won't solve anything.

You made them mad, anyways. Because your parenthesis count doesn't match regardless! D:

ReKoil December 28th, 2022 11:03 AM

This has been inactive for a while...

I take it you mean like, bribing votes?
Voting has yet to solve anything here whatsoever, so doing it with bribery isn't gonna be much different =P
Guess I agree. Not sure how else you'd vote with your wallet.

Fireworks are the best part of New Year's Eve.

Megan December 28th, 2022 11:20 AM

I don't like fireworks. They are too loud for my taste. So, I disagree.

Plush rain is the most powerful move!

"Vote with your wallet" is a myth within capitalism that suggests the customer has power over companies and corporations by simply making the decision to "not buy their product".

The idea here in particular was that you can't exactly be like "who needs food/clothes/a roof/etc., anyway".

moon December 28th, 2022 11:24 AM

Plush... rain? Like, a rain of plush toys? Disagree.

Sunrise is more beautiful than sunset.

StCooler December 28th, 2022 5:58 PM

It depends on everyone's taste but I disagree. I prefer sunsets.

Chess is a sport.

Megan December 28th, 2022 11:00 PM

I mean, sure, you can throw the game board like a disc. :P
Agree, since the brain is a muscle, too.

A 4 day work week is sufficient.

ReKoil December 29th, 2022 10:05 AM

Sufficient for who? the employer or the employee? 🤔
If you can put in enough hours to earn enough money to be able to afford your day to day expenses in those 4 days, I don't see the problem. There's a lot of jobs with empty hours where you're just at work simply because you have to be, even if you already finished everything you need to and have nothing to do anymore that day.
However there's also plenty jobs where you have a workload where you just never seem to have enough time to get it finished, or you need those hours to be able to pay the bills.

I'll just disagree as it really depends on the type of job imo.

Gift cards should be a last resort when trying to shop for a gift for someone.

StCooler December 29th, 2022 2:15 PM

Agree, same for socks, or ties lol

A 3-day work week is sufficient.

Apparently three days are enough!
Spoiler:



Megan December 29th, 2022 10:50 PM

Sure. Though, I'm probably too much of a workoholic to ever go for a three day work week. Four days I've kinda tried, by virtue of having too many vacation days left, so I could take off the occasional Friday this month.

AI art is boring.

The first one can be solved quite easily: hire more people. And having more people work on stuff means there can be more stuff which means lower bills/prices. :P

ReKoil December 30th, 2022 10:34 AM

Spoiler:
In spoilers as it's a continuation on a previous statement...

There's also people who get bored when they don't have anything to do and actually like to work; so not only does it depend on the job, it also depends on the mentality of the employee.
Case in point: my workaholic of a father. He retired early; got bored of having nothing to do all day after like two weeks and started doing stuff for his employer again lmao
He likes his work and needs something to do. Although it's not 5 days, as he is 'retired' after all, there are undoubtedly people who feel the same way but for the entire week.

'retired' = working three days a week apparently lol


I sometimes find it amusing to use them to look for the hidden gems, as like 90%+ of what they make tends to be bad.
But yea, you just click a button or two and wait for it to do stuff for you, so it is boring.
As far as the subject matter you feed into the AI goes, it's not necessarily boring ofc.


People should plan less and live more in the moment.

Ideally yes, but in my experience prices don't go down once they've gone up =P
Instead wages tend to get corrected for Inflation. Though even that doesn't always occur xD
