The people who make fun of the Alanis Morissette song Ironic are very stupid, and misognystic. They claim that Morissette is too stupid to understand what irony is because she wrote a song called Ironic that did not feature a single actual case of irony.

Anyone who says there are no examples of irony in Ironic are just repeating something they've heard and have not actually checked, because it's not true.

But then wouldn't that make Ironic ironic for it's lack of irony?

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
Anyway, doesn't she ask if this is ironic? Don't you think? She's not telling you what's ironic, she's providing examples and asking if it's irony.

It is completely normal to offer someone you've recently met your contact information if the two of you immediately hit it off, and not a sign of mental instability at all.

If you watched the music video you’d know the man she’s offering her number to is gay.

And the lyrics themself make it clear that she’s very flustered, both by how besotted she is with the guy and by finding herself in the unusual position of being the one pursuing someone instead of being persued

The idea that homosexuality is "decadent" kind of presupposes that gay sex just inherently feels better. As a member of Team Straight, I don't like giving up that point without any contention.

"Morally" decadent.

Ask your wife/gf to suck you while massaging your prostate and that should be about as good as it gets physically.

Youtube search algorithm has turned to poo poo. It offers like half shorts and things you "might be interested in", which sucks. In addition to that, the actual search results, if you can find them, are also poo poo and appear to be based on something other than the search terms you used.

Just watched the first episode of Fallout. I don't know that this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm guessing it is:

The show is bad and dumb.

The opening bit where the cowboy explains that if the explosion is this close then you're dead, but then the explosion is that close and no one dies (even though they visibly get hit by the shockwave) and the whole vault section that's basically if Silo was written by an idiot were both terrible.

The setup of the fascist tech-knights and the guy who's either going to learn the error of his ways and become a hero or go full villain was fine. Not great, but fine. It got the job done. And Walton Goggins is a great actor so that bit with him at the end was enjoyable. But overall the show seems real bad.

I have not played the games.

Bird feeders not only bring songbirds to look at, but sing all day even when you aren't looking at the feeder, providing a generally pleasant ambience, especially in spring. Squirrel noise is at best silence and at worst like a broken vuvuzela.

Also a squirrel will clean out an entire feeder by itself in about a day, where the actually desirable songbirds might take two weeks.

If I had to choose between looking at a squirrel for one minute or hearing bird song for ten minutes, I’m going squirrel every time.

I have a little Gray Squirrel who comes after the birds have been fed every morning.

I always hide a couple of Monkey Nuts in a Plantpot for him because, while he's a terrible invasive species, he's VERY fuzzy.

It’s this. And if you haven’t seen them move house from tree to tree or fend off a cat you should consider working from the home

All using their mouths to ferry kits to the new place like they’re reenacting the Rats of NIMH

I haven't been able to look at the squirrels ever since I accidentally made eye contact with two of them through the window while they were mid-coitus. Now it's all awkward.

In Office Space Milton says he saw two squirrels "and they were married". He couldn't put in to words what he'd seen so a convenient euphemism takes it back to Disney.

Also, don't think about the origins of furry porn from The Sword in the Stone.
