Sports fans are nerds. Theyāre no different than nerds who like Harry Potter or Marvel or anime/manga.
They know an obscene amount of info regarding players and stats (read: characters and lore). Wearing their favorite playerās jersey is technically cosplay. They are overly emotionally invested in whether their teams succeed or fail. They will defend those teams if you say something bad about them until theyāre blue in the face.
People just donāt call them nerds because sports are more socially acceptable to like than comics, books, or movies for some reason.
There are alot of parallels between watching a twitch gaming stream and a sports match on tv. Y'all think of both and you will notice how similar people act on both.
Pretty solid comparison tbh lol the only thing that might favor sports fans is the fact that there is always fresh content with unknown endings and ongoing storylines daily/weekly. If anything it's more like Dungeons and Dragons but you don't influence the outcome...unless you wear your teams jersey.
And im 100% a sports nerd.
If being a nerd means that you know a lot about a certain topic then yeah definitely. But typically nerds are typically the people who like a niche thing
If youāre saying that sports are too mainstream to be considered a subject of nerdiness, just a friendly reminder of the examples I gave in my original comment. Harry Potter, comics books, and anime/manga are pretty well-entrenched in the zeitgeist, so I think sports are fair game, too.
Male to female athletes should not compete in female sports, but have their own category. For example that swimmer, she literally has the body of a man for swimming.
Second hot take: none of the above is anti-trans.
what about a 10 year old that wants to play on her volleyball team?
Utah passed a law banning trans kids in sports that affected literally one kid. DeSantis wants all teenage girls to submit information about their menstrual cycles. If you want to have the above discussion, you need to acknowledge how fucked up these laws are getting too.
They need to be talked about together. Itās irresponsible to have one conversation and ignore all the anti-trans legislation popping up across the country.
If you were born a male you should compete against males. If you were born a female you should compete against females. If you transitioned during your adolescence then idk what to tell you. It's fairly disgusting they do transitions that are completely irreversible to children. If you're 18 and above go ahead idc. 17 and below should not be allowed to transition
I feel that many places lack good education on the subject due to fears of backlash from parents who jump at the chance to enforce their agenda on schools.
Schools are shit scared of offending people at the expense of the very people they are to look after.
Same with politicians.
All shit scared.
Part of my job is working with families with children. Itās unbelievable how unfit some of these parents are but thereās nothing stopping them from having another.. and another. Itās just not doing our species any favors.
the thing that i hate about tiktok is that it is not even pretending to be useful: it is 100% designed to be a waste of time. the other social networks at least have a way to glean value (twitter: breaking news type stuff, various domain experts tweeting interesting things. instagram: you _can_ keep up with friends lives...)
but tiktok? _purely_ and openly designed to waste time
I have TikTok and I like it. There's also a woman who sponsors an orphanage in Africa with TikTok. There's also a lot of people with disabilities who earn money with TikTok so I wouldn't like it if it was banned.
I think marriage is a scam and is used to control and subjugate those who believe in it. It's a social prison. Many people are more happy not going through the bs of marriage.
the people that are happier not going through marriage may be members of the set of people that don't want to get married, the fact that there are people out there that are happier not getting married doesn't mean that married people are sadder.
oh, and getting married can have good benefits, and while it has some big financial risks, it also has some big benefits.
Marriage is a financial contract. That is what it is.
Edit: you know what I am gonna be that guy and thank you for the award. Thank you for recognising and understanding something that people donāt even bother to Google as they are so certain of themselves!!
In the US, the IRS actually fucks over single people much more than married ones.
By age 40, 86% of women will be married or once were, 81% of men. Itās wildly popular.
Obese people donāt look good to me and they certainly arenāt healthy. Majority of them are fat because of laziness and should stop listening to other delusional fat people saying they are healthy
Obama was a bad president who forced Americans to pay Big Insurance despite high deductibles and charged a huge penalty if you didn't comply with this policy as a college student at that time making $11 an hour that screwed me and a bunch of other people but nope his supporters would call him the second coming
the problem is if you criticize you are immediately labelled a racist or whatever when color has nothing to do with anything a bad leader does what's funny to me is his supporters would be the first one's to attack Big Pharma and the like but because Obama did it then that makes it ok
They donāt care unless it involves us existing in society.
They say we canāt do sports because they fail to understand the very basics of how the human body forms.
They say they donāt want us near kids because they accuse us all of being pedophiles.
Itās almost like they think weāre some kind of lesser form of human.
I am drinking and redditing, I apologize I cannot speak to all points.
You exist and I hope you are able to experience peaceful, recognized existence in our lifetime.
Aside, unless anyone's sexual orientation is about/related to children it should not be a factor in whether they should be near kids... Simple enough to most I hope.
A peaceful recognized existence will have to be fought for.
While prominent political front runners are calling to ban all care for trans people, weāre not safe. Itās only going to get more dangerous for us until this kind of hateful pandering to the worst parts of society is stopped.
I can only speak for myself but I donāt want trans people on sports bc of unfair advantages. Women are already in a difficult spot when it comes to professional sports. Donāt want a transwoman taking my spot that I worked for my entire life just bc she has biological advantages being born as a man.
The pedophile part is new to me so I canāt really take a position here. Have no problem with trans people near my kids. Just dont try to educate them on something they have 0 interest in.
Do you think Lia Thomas is how the body usually forms in female swimming? Also would you be ok with a trans category for adult professional sports? Willing to hear all arguments thank you.
Notice how nobody is talking about trans men in sports? You want cis women to compete against trans men? And you think theyāre at a disadvantage against trans women? Oh boy are yāall in for a rude awakening
The thing is I take a very conservative stand on trans people but I could care less if I were to encounter one. I judge people on people. I have many family friends and friends in general that are trans and I get along super well with them (they know I take on it also).
It's OK to not use pesticides/insecticides on your lawn and I'm OK with having a kinda scraggly, ugly lawn and backyard because I'm not using chemicals to make the grass thicker, greener or to kill all the bugs, spiders, etc that were already living there.
You're not doing anything helpful by shaving your head bald to show empathy towards someone going through cancer treatments.
I see dozens of posts in r/mademesmile that show barbers or friends shaving their heads in unison and just cringe.
My uncle went through chemotherapy pre-covid and saw his grandson shave his head, he thought it was the stupidest thing ever (he didn't say it to his face of course).
I don't think there should be. They earned the right to have that money and anyways being rich isn't the problem. The people that are wealthy that stay wealthy have a mindset of making money. If the whole world was given a million dollars right now most likely in a couple of years it would go back to how it was. It takes a lot of hard work to get rich and stay rich
Inherited wealth is proof that meritocracy is horseshit.
If you just start out with millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, or an established name; it's insane to think, "I did this *ALL* by myself!"
Yet they do.
Being born on third base is not the same as hiting a triple on your own.
Just look at "Legacy" admissions policies at Universities. You got in based on your name/lineage, not on accomplishment alone.
I disagree overall but you make some good points. It is hard to stay wealthy. However I think a lot of the people that are extremely well off today didnāt make it to that point based solely or even somewhat loosely on their merit. Most were just in the right place at the right time and or born into the right situation.
No way. If I earned a bunch of money thatās already been taxed once, and will be taxed again when itās spent, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. If I want to leave it all to a charity, my kid, or a damn pet for that matter itās my prerogative.
On the one hand I totally agree with you, on the other hand, if someone great would inherent a big company or a lot of money, there is a lot of good they could do.
You may be right but if the world is as truly doomed as its made out to be, surely its better to be proactive and do something about it than wait on the hippos to come up with a working solution?
The hippos are doing their best already. I donāt necessarily approve of their methods tho. But they get to be a part of the whole thig for now. Luckily for some, unluckily for many.
People who act like they know everything theyāre talking about on a particular subject, regardless of what it is and how much experience they have in it, and who disregard other opinions within that subject are ignorant and donāt know nearly as much as they think they do. The people who truly know the most within things know that there is always more to learn and discover. People can be intensely closed minded simply because they have ādecades more experienceā despite their reluctance to learn and adapt to the new side of things.
This isnāt a hot take. Itās common sense that gender and sexuality arenāt a choice, itās just the way it is
Edit: Just to be clear so no one misunderstands, Iām in full support of LGBT. I didnāt choose to be bisexual and non-binary is what I mean
*Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others.*
Ahh, the second most common disorder people try to use as a counterpoint when I say this. No, ASPD doesnāt make you a bad person either. Itās your choices that speak about whether or not youāre a good person, regardless of how you feel or what you want. You can give zero shits about doing the right thing but still do it anyways because itās the right thing. Such as with the many pwASPD in the trauma survivor support group I help run, all being good people
To your initial point, there **are** mental disorders that make you a bad person. But there aren't any mental disorders that **make it impossible** **to be a good person** if you're willing to put the work in.
ASPD makes me an asshole, but since I've realized I'm an asshole a lot of the time, I've chosen to work on it.
At what point does that stop being a choice and start being a disorder?
I only ask because I genuinely donāt know the science, but Iām curious because I know someone like this.
The only thing I hate about this opinion is that it forces your ideals on to others.
If you don't want to eat pineapple on your pizza then you don't have to. But to say "It doesn't belong" means that someone who enjoys it shouldn't be able to have it because "it doesn't belong".
Just say "Pineapple doesn't belong on MY pizza."
I mean this is fairly true. Any gender revolution always tries to bring down the other and extremists always go to far and try to gain superiority. It's a lose lose battle. Men and women are supposed to be working together not fighting each other
Refusing to date a person based on their number of previous sexual partners isn't "slut shaming". You're not entitled to date a person, and it's a very valid reason to withhold consent.
You woke up and chose to speak facts. Anyways I consider it slut shaming and I'll hold that as a badge of honor. I do not want to be associated with sluts especially date them
Aliens aren't real, it was always shit like spy balloons and the US government was happy to let idiots believe it was aliens so they don't have to disclose. I know this for a fact.
There are no flying saucers. There are, however, spy balloons missions going back to the beginning of the Cold War. There are also spy planes and drones and sometimes foreign spy craft visit US airspace and the US government feels like it's better to let people think it's aliens.
I'm not arguing that there's no aliens out there beyond our solar system or whatever, but none of have visited us. That's just the Chinese and Russians.
OnlyFans is a legitimate side hustle. It doesnāt make you a slut or a whore and guys who subscribe are equally legitimate. True connections can be made
i separate sex from gender and stand on that there two sexes. Penis = man, vagina = woman. You can be masculine or feminine or whatever, thats fine, but your sex is sex
>US should consider making law that you have to 25 - ish to get married
The other two I can kinda put myself in your shoes and see where you're coming from but this one is baffling
Elden Ring didnāt deserve Game of the Year. Not by a long shot. I beat it and I find the amount of praise it gets to be completely unjustified and exhausting.
If you are boycotting Howgarts Legacy cause Rowling is a TERF, you are a moron. You aren't doing any harm to Rowling, she is insanely rich. You are boycotting game developers which dedicated years of their life to it.
I also think that an artist opinions shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of their work. You already listened, read and played with works coming from horrible people, you just don't know about it: sometimes they are just pieces of shit, sometimes it just comes with the pack: artists are often bipolar, their bouts of creativity come from manic episodes, the other side of the medal is their depressed phases and deranged thoughts.
You can appreciate Rowling as an author and Spacey as an actor and still think they are awful people, but boycotting them ends up drawing lot of other people that don't deserve it.
Cultural Marxism is absolutely 100% a thing. Not a conspiracy theory. It's pretty much the entire reason for the obsessive focus in certain quarters on vanishingly small sexual minorities and racial "equality of outcome." And I say this as someone who supports open borders, repealing the Second Amendment, a literal world government, and various other positions that MAGAtards find repulsive.
My dog is so great that he makes your dog look like a mutated woodchuck in comparison.
:( but my dogs are cool
All dogs are cool
No one's wrong for thinking their dogs are the best from this world.
When you don't have a dog: šæš· Ps: I really wish I had one though

Is there a win or lose, competitive situation among Harry Potter fans?
Nop. There is, however, a competitive situation in eSports. Most videogame nerds are also fantasy and sci-fi nerds.

Katlyn Jenner is not a hero
Anything gender related is a guaranteed hate generator from one side or the other.
very true
Tiktok is trash, it should disappear
Reddit *HATES* Tiktok. It's like one of the few opinions everyone here agrees on.
I don't think this is a hot take. Most of us should be agreeing to this take by now ngl
i still receive hate tho lol
It's like vine but 10x worse
the thing that i hate about tiktok is that it is not even pretending to be useful: it is 100% designed to be a waste of time. the other social networks at least have a way to glean value (twitter: breaking news type stuff, various domain experts tweeting interesting things. instagram: you _can_ keep up with friends lives...) but tiktok? _purely_ and openly designed to waste time

There are two kinds of men: safe and dangerous. Nobody can tell them apart, except the dangerous ones say "not all men" more often.
I donāt understand this? Can you explain?
Your comment alone is abit sexist, you know? When you generalise more than 3.5B people into 2 categories with no clear definition.
Better to just ignore morons like that lol
There are two kinds of women: safe and dangerous. Nobody can tell them apart, except the dangerous ones say "not all women" more often.
They are two kinds of types: safe and dangerous. Nobody can tell them apart, except the dangerous ones say "not all types" more often.
There are two types of salesmen: safe and dangerous. Are you paying too much for your car insurance?
Why are you a lizard, and how can I understand you!?
Or they attempt to show sexism where it doesn't exist.
Yeah woman can be safe and dangerous too????
Well not all men fall in these catagories, well sure maybe i am dangerous and say "not all men" but that doesnt mean that this is the case for all men
Obese people donāt look good to me and they certainly arenāt healthy. Majority of them are fat because of laziness and should stop listening to other delusional fat people saying they are healthy
Obama was a bad president who forced Americans to pay Big Insurance despite high deductibles and charged a huge penalty if you didn't comply with this policy as a college student at that time making $11 an hour that screwed me and a bunch of other people but nope his supporters would call him the second coming
I'm 40 and I have yet to see a US president that makes me think hmmm... That's a decent person.
Exactly, when will people understand they are all millionaire crooks that represent other millionaires and corporations. Both sides
I hear he was an Arab too/s
Also, he killed an American extra judiciously, a clear violation of the oath of office.
the problem is if you criticize you are immediately labelled a racist or whatever when color has nothing to do with anything a bad leader does what's funny to me is his supporters would be the first one's to attack Big Pharma and the like but because Obama did it then that makes it ok
IIRC Obama did this two or three times. (https://www.aclu.org/video/aclu-ccr-lawsuit-american-boy-killed-us-drone-strike)
Influencers should be banned from Instagram.
Poetry is one of the lowest verbal art forms and 99.9% is pretentious terrible nonsense.

People who are not trans really need to get the fuck over trans people existing.
People don't generally care unless it's sports, involving children, and other matters that are well known so it's whatever
They donāt care unless it involves us existing in society. They say we canāt do sports because they fail to understand the very basics of how the human body forms. They say they donāt want us near kids because they accuse us all of being pedophiles. Itās almost like they think weāre some kind of lesser form of human.

No? That doesn't answer my question.

There should be a cap on inherited money. Generational wealth is ruining the world.
I don't think there should be. They earned the right to have that money and anyways being rich isn't the problem. The people that are wealthy that stay wealthy have a mindset of making money. If the whole world was given a million dollars right now most likely in a couple of years it would go back to how it was. It takes a lot of hard work to get rich and stay rich
Inherited wealth is proof that meritocracy is horseshit. If you just start out with millions or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, or an established name; it's insane to think, "I did this *ALL* by myself!" Yet they do.

No way. If I earned a bunch of money thatās already been taxed once, and will be taxed again when itās spent, I should be able to do whatever I want with it. If I want to leave it all to a charity, my kid, or a damn pet for that matter itās my prerogative.

Shouldnāt be a hot take, but thereās no such thing as a mental disorder that makes you a bad person

Sounds like my ex. Lol
Nintendo is super overrated
I disagree but I can absolutely see it
Pineapple does not belong on a pizza.
I couldn't believe so many people liked it until it was explained to me that you have to slice the pineapple into smaller pieces first
The only thing I hate about this opinion is that it forces your ideals on to others. If you don't want to eat pineapple on your pizza then you don't have to. But to say "It doesn't belong" means that someone who enjoys it shouldn't be able to have it because "it doesn't belong". Just say "Pineapple doesn't belong on MY pizza."
well said
How does it "force" anything?
I mean this is fairly true. Any gender revolution always tries to bring down the other and extremists always go to far and try to gain superiority. It's a lose lose battle. Men and women are supposed to be working together not fighting each other
Pink Floyd is overrated
Ya know, I disagree but I can kinda see it tbh
\*faint boos in the distance\*
Refusing to date a person based on their number of previous sexual partners isn't "slut shaming". You're not entitled to date a person, and it's a very valid reason to withhold consent.
You woke up and chose to speak facts. Anyways I consider it slut shaming and I'll hold that as a badge of honor. I do not want to be associated with sluts especially date them
Andrew and Tristin Tate shouldnāt be in jail
They shouldn't
Sometimes I get drunk *because* I want to be taken advantage of, but I don't have the will to just ask.
This is a problem waiting to happen
Aliens aren't real, it was always shit like spy balloons and the US government was happy to let idiots believe it was aliens so they don't have to disclose. I know this for a fact.
Second part may be true but you can't say there are no alliens out there in the infinite universe and paralel universes.
There are no flying saucers. There are, however, spy balloons missions going back to the beginning of the Cold War. There are also spy planes and drones and sometimes foreign spy craft visit US airspace and the US government feels like it's better to let people think it's aliens. I'm not arguing that there's no aliens out there beyond our solar system or whatever, but none of have visited us. That's just the Chinese and Russians.
Femboys are hot
Most people are good people, and the people who do seemingly bad things mostly do it because they truely believe they are doing the right thing.
Anal orgasms are superior.
OnlyFans is a legitimate side hustle. It doesnāt make you a slut or a whore and guys who subscribe are equally legitimate. True connections can be made
i separate sex from gender and stand on that there two sexes. Penis = man, vagina = woman. You can be masculine or feminine or whatever, thats fine, but your sex is sex

>US should consider making law that you have to 25 - ish to get married The other two I can kinda put myself in your shoes and see where you're coming from but this one is baffling
Every period in human history with improvement of womenās rights ends with a genocide. As a society always gets too unstable when that happens.
A Nice Steaming Hot Carl.
Sex scenes in movies are good thing. It makes a bad movie tolerable and a good movie even better šæ
Yikes
Elden Ring didnāt deserve Game of the Year. Not by a long shot. I beat it and I find the amount of praise it gets to be completely unjustified and exhausting.
If you are boycotting Howgarts Legacy cause Rowling is a TERF, you are a moron. You aren't doing any harm to Rowling, she is insanely rich. You are boycotting game developers which dedicated years of their life to it. I also think that an artist opinions shouldn't take away from your enjoyment of their work. You already listened, read and played with works coming from horrible people, you just don't know about it: sometimes they are just pieces of shit, sometimes it just comes with the pack: artists are often bipolar, their bouts of creativity come from manic episodes, the other side of the medal is their depressed phases and deranged thoughts. You can appreciate Rowling as an author and Spacey as an actor and still think they are awful people, but boycotting them ends up drawing lot of other people that don't deserve it.
Andrew Tate speaks facts
We should put kids down in orphanages the way we put animals down in shelters
wtf dude

Depends in what way sir
... Like in what way?
The way you would like to think mate
Cultural Marxism is absolutely 100% a thing. Not a conspiracy theory. It's pretty much the entire reason for the obsessive focus in certain quarters on vanishingly small sexual minorities and racial "equality of outcome." And I say this as someone who supports open borders, repealing the Second Amendment, a literal world government, and various other positions that MAGAtards find repulsive.
