America getting to compete in sports as one country when they are so gigantic with half a billion people is unfair. Like, no poo poo they get more medals than everyone else

If you counted Europe as one country then Europe gets even more medals than America. Duh!

It's unfair to pit a country of 330 million people against, say, a country of 9 million

What I'm saying is, America should only get to compete in world sports as their individual states :getin:

Yeah that's why the top 4 men's soccer teams are China, India, USA and Indonesia


What is actually unfair (but also really funny) is that FIFA splits things up enough that places like Isle of Man and Gibraltar have their own teams, which are absolutely terrible and have to compete in the world's hardest region.

I love pickles, especially paired with onions on a chicken sandwich. Good nuggets, too. The only reason chick-fil-a nuggets aren't at the top is because sometimes they try to pass off those tiny chunks as a whole nugget.

Burying dead people in cemeteries is a waste of real estate. Either cremate the corpse or donate it to medical science.

burying your dead is a religious institution that spans just about every religion, and some religions don't allow you to donate your body to medical science/donate your organs. to restrict those religious practices and beliefs would be horribly offensive to just about 90% of the world.

I think when your opinion starts with the premise that the dead are a waste of space, an appeal to religion is unlikely to change their mind.

It is, indeed, an unpopular opinion.

gently caress everybody's religion. Frankly, if it's something that's for the betterment of everyone (vaccination, organ donation, healthcare in general) people's bullshit religious beliefs can shove it.

I think people have a right to determine what will be done with their corpse once they're dead. And I want mine used for a prank show where bosses think they're going undercover only to discover a dead body wearing the company uniform with a murder weapon bearing their own fingerprints.

You are lumping in things that don't go together if you allow even a sliver of possibility that the (real, not cults like the ones that forbid medical treatment) religious might actually be correct. If you vaccinate someone or treat their disease, you're saving a life at no cost to anyone else. If you take someone's organs without permission God might deem you a necromancer or something and you are dooming your own soul to hell.

also if some tortured soul ever marries me (lol), I would absolutely not support doing a wedding registry. If you're coming to my wedding, presumably you know me. Do you own loving thinking, i'm not going to tell you what to buy. What fun is it if you know what you're going to get? Just give me cash if you're that uncreative.

it is, but other people always make it weird. Even if you genuinely appreciate it, some relative is going to be like "i spend so much time finding a gift and you just give them cash? what is wrong with you?" etc. But no, you didn't spend so much time, you just bought some random thing you heard your coworkers talking about that you assumed i'd like.

Gift giving has largely become meaningless in contemporary Western society. It's gotten plagued by marketing and conspicuous consumption. Gift registries are one of the absolute worst things ever created.

Because everything about Warhammer 40,000 is exaggerated to the extreme. It's a setting in which the only thing better than a machine gun with a flamethrower is a machine gun with a flamethrower and a chainsaw. Everything has the vibe of being designed by a committee of 8-year-old boys. It knows exactly how ridiculous it is an revels in it.

The real question is why aren't they even bigger and covered in even more skulls? And on fire?

40k is about the imperium vs chaos and especially imperial space marines vs chaos space marines and people who complain about space marines getting the most attention are dumb. They’ve never pretended that dark elder are going to get as much attention as imperial space marines.

Their mistake was not just setting it in the heresy to begin with.

The setting would be exactly the same if you just removed basically any of the aliens except regular eldar. The setting would require a total rewrite if you removed the imperium or chaos, or kept them but removed space marines.
