Honestly I'd rather drive a wonky looking, overly designed car than a boxy death chamber on wheels. You're right, some modern cars are ugly, but not a ugly as that example you used earlier.
but octopuses are big. And they live in the Ocean realm, not the Land realm which is where a heck ton of humans are, so they don't disturb us. they are confined to their waters.
Centipedes on the other hand are totally fine to be scared of (i am)
but spiders' leg-size-to-body-size ratio is a lot bigger than centipedes. whereas a centipede's legs are a little thing that you can barely see that propel the thing forward, spiders' legs can be longer than the body itself.
It's like comparing a human to a human in a mecha suit. You can't just do that.
Regarding pineapple on pizza, I actually don't mind it which is weird bc I don't like pineapple on its own. Is that a hot take???
not-quite-related, but I feel like earning a like on here is now of a higher reward then it is in other places, does anyone disagree? 
I'm just gonna agree as someone who's gotten badges on here for getting likes. And I got the most likes by using gifs as replies bc I'm relatable and quirky
I think it's just because there aren't as many people in the forum. Also because on the post you like, you can see who liked it, which is similar for instagram but here other people can see which post you like too. It's more about agreeing with a statement than liking a picture. You can be more considerate of what you choose to like since you'd have to read the full post, which can be several paragraph long as a opposed to be 280 characters or less.
XD, yea that makes sense. But what I was saying was more of a:
Is getting likes on the Thread for Disagreement thread making you feel somewhat more accomplished than it would feel on another thread, like, because we 'arent allowed' to talk about 'aggreements', does the heart somehow mean that you've gotten someone to aggree with you? I'm probably reading too much into this haha.
Ah. Well, I'm dumb and I didn't read the full thing. Agreements are forbidden, give a like for agreeing or agree somewhere else. Guess I'm kicked out lol
I actually love spiders. I think they're amazing creatures and are the pinnacle of predatory arthropods. Though I don't go out of my way to pick them up, I'm not scared of them.
Because the big wolf spiders look like skinny little monkey hands zipping in and out of the shadows. Can catch and eat full-blown cockroaches.
Well...first off, they're really fun to watch when they hunt. There's a wide variety of types, but my favorites are wolf spiders. They don't wait around in a web for their prey. They chase it down.
Also I love the grouping of their eyes. Two big ones on the side, and six smaller ones bundled in between in an organized stack. When light flashes on them, they glow, and since the wolf spider is a nocturnal predator, sometimes you can see their tiny eyes in the yard when a light is shined on them.
Plus 8 is my favorite number, and since Spiders are arachnids, they've got eight legs. (Not counting the pedipalps, which are modified chelicerae, aka mouthparts.)
but don't they give off a menacing vibe? like, big or not, I know that if I was small enough it wouldn't give a second thought to eating me...
I suppose that part is in the eyes of the beholder. I see it as a beautiful and necessary part of nature. Having wolf spiders is kind of a good thing, since they regulate pest insects.
I will add that spiders don't really have the capability to 'think' it's more of 'react.' Even wolf spiders eye-sight isn't so good to be able to judge that kind of difference between human and food source. It's kind of, if something crosses their path while they hunt and it's within size range...then they pounce and envenomate with their fangs.
No prob.
Disagree.
The idea of this topic was to turn the concept of conformity inside out and see, what will happen. 
The thing is: conformity "instinct" gives us inclement toward agreement with the given rules. But what if the rules themselves encourage disagreement? In this case conformity "instinct" should encourage people to follow the rules... which will discourage conformity "instinct".
So, the plan of the training is:
- The effect, described above, should make it a bit easier for people to disagree here, than in another places.
- After doing it, people will get some amount of positive reinforcement toward disagreement, because they'll see that nothing horrible will happen.
- Maybe after getting such reinforcement it'll be easier for them/me to feel more free in general and make the same more often outside of this topic.
Will conformity habit eat itself like Uroborous? Well, of course, that not entirely, it's too strong. But maybe it will at least bite it's own tale a bit.
Smartphones made 8 years ago still work perfectly fine. The constant social pressure to upgrade phones is wasteful and nothing more than mindless consumerism.
Me disagree because of expanding role of smartphones. With something like a smartphone laptop dock, a new or new-ish phone can serve as perfectly-adequate office machine. That less viable with older devices.
Me could see many students using it for school though. Why pay for both laptop and phone and go through hassle of coordinating files?
I don't think smartphones should be designed to replace laptops. I think desktops offer a lot of features which a phone could never emulate. Honestly it would be far smarter to get a tablet if you do not want a laptop. Me and many other people use phones for calls, texts, photos, social media and internet browsing, features which have been present in smartphones for the last 10 years. A lot of the newer features added to smartphones are just gimmicks like longer screens and more cameras.
It add to a phone's useful life though, if you can buy one secondhand and turn it into cheap office machine. Good for environment because more mileage.
Most people buying smartphones are not tech savvy enough to do that. Or at least, it is not what people in the United States are doing. A know there are some countries that tend to not upgrade as often.
That okay, secondhand market could be in another country. That how it work with your clothes. Too many Americans seem to get rid of garments that still look brand-new or are easily-repaired.
On the other hand, me have learned not to Google any name-tags me find on clothes, in case it turn up funeral notice. It not a good feeling to realize you an wearing a dead man's (comfy) shorts.
I think they are both equally cute but appeal to different niches.....
Centipedes are too slow and octopi are too rare. That is why we dont freak out over them.
I disagree. (duh 
) Honestly, it depends on the actual animal. (not saying that disabled dogs and cats aren't cute or anything, because they are,) but it can also be because of the way some animals act. like if there was a dog with rabies trying to attack you, your obviously going to think that another dog (say it's a toy poodle or something) is cuter because of its personality.
i disagree with your decision to call him out for it, i feel if they ended up removing it, it was for a good reason. but thats just my opinion
I rather not die on the road. If that means having squishy airbags save my life and having ABS (or even better AWD) when drawing up in the freaking mountains in winter here, I'm A-okay with generic ugliness. Convenience, safety, and practicality over looks. Comfort > style.
Motley Crue doesn't make the same song though :P.
Honestly, I don't hate Nickelback. I like Motley Crue but I never got the Nickelback hate.
I just...can't stand either band, mostly for their lyrical content and overall 'life is a party' themes. I may be a Metalhead, but I definitely don't like music about the whole sex, drugs, and rock n roll mentality. I prefer lyrics that have something meaningful to say, like calling out corruption, or making something constructive out of my life by fighting my inner demons. Heck, even songs about warriors and battle are far more interesting to me. (Not surprising since I write an action comic)
Then...we can get into the actual music. Not only is it not hard enough for my tastes, it's just not that interesting to me, and doesn't line up with my perception of what is 'good music.' (there's a ton of subjectivity there, I won't even pretend to be a gatekeeper. Like what you like for whatever reasons.)
Finally, there's yet another layer, beyond lyricism and music. It is also intrinsically tied to my art and creation of characters and story. Nickelback and Motley Crue add absolutely zero to that. Plus I can't draw to it so...yeah...
We're in a very boring period of fashion.
At least when we were wearing multiple belts we were taking risks.
It's not ugly, it's a perfect design. Among the Soviet cars for sure.
Better of this is only German classics from 80-early 90s (like Mercedes W123 and W124 or BMW 5 E28 and E34) and US full-size sedans from 60-80s (like Chevrolet Caprice or Ford LTD/LTD Crown Victoria), or Cadillacs (is in those 5% of modern cars which looks at least ok).
Nobody and nothing will change my mind on that subject.
I'm driving my car without all that fancy electronic stuff every winter and in mountains too, because here are mountainous area already and I didn't died yet and even didn't even crashed at winter. I'm not OK with ugliness. Skill is that what matter.
Style > over everything else.
I'm not so big, but art person, and I'm not going to use things that are looking generic, including cars (of course using my taste of things in choosing, not just things that's looks unusual). Of course I can't afford a classic Mercedes yet, so I use Lada for now.
In big city already nobody drives them so it's really looks different than a rest than 99% of cars (if it's 2010 model) and draws attention if it's 1976 model, that's exactly what I need from car.
Are you mad, have you seen centipedes??? I dislike spiders a whole lot (a bit of a childhood trauma), but yeah, I am okay with little home fellas, but f*cking centipedes, if you ever saw one in your house toilet in the night, this is not something to take lightly 
I haven't ask other people about freaking over those, but maaaaan, I'd die if I saw one on me.
Come on. Do you think that seeing creatures, which you mentioned, simply inside of toilet room is really creepy?
What is really creepy is to see something living inside of toilet pan itself...
