  • You Should Now Be Receiving Emails!

    The email issued mentioned earlier this week is now fixed! You may also have received previous emails that were meant to be sent over the last few days - apologies, this was a one time issue and shouldn't happen again!

Going to call this the "Unpopular Opinion" thread and I have some thoughts...

Taste varies, I think, do to genetic differences. I like cilantro. At least one other person finds the smell is like ass. Either he is wrong or I am acclimated to the smell of ass.

Another person nearly vomits at the smell of curry. But I like some curry. Then, again, having starved a few times and then learning some basic eating things in the Boy Scouts, I eat anything. Maybe it was the way I was raised. Picky eaters were nancy-boys.
In all fairness, many here proudly proclaim and boast that they eat ass. Just sayin'.

Mayonnaise is just like any other condiment. Use it sparingly and properly.

If you have never tried homemade mayonnaise, you haven't tried mayonnaise. Dukes is what I use when I am in a hurry. Otherwise, I make my own.

I have no clue what you're eating if you believe it tastes like glue. It isn't mayonnaise.

I've tried a lot or at least the most popular of them (Hellman's, Kraft, Duke's) but I really do find it to be vile. It's more so the texture than the flavor that tastes like paste but I find mayo's flavor to be so distinctively overpowering that even it included as an ingredient is instantly recognizable to me and completely turns my stomach.

So that rules out things like potato salad, many dipping sauces, etc. I believe in minding my own plate and don't take umbrage with folks that enjoy it (I've got it in my fridge) but I don't want it anywhere near my food personally.

You should try my Mexican street style corn that has mayo in the sauce, it tastes really good.

You want a good recipe where you can't taste the mayonnaise? Here is one. Do not use miracle whip for this one. It's rich but not too rich you can't eat a whole row.

You are doing Mayo all wrong. Try using it as a personal lubricant. You will be much happier.
You're into some freaky shit- not mad about it either but yikes. I'll do you a solid though, I'll do my best to continue voicing my opinions on Mayo and that way you benefit from their not being a 'run' on it so you'll always be well supplied.

Might sound like I'm being snarky but I'm not- remember when there was a run on sriracha hot sauce 2 or 3 years ago? I'll do my part to keep that may supply line unburdened lol.

Another piece of advice.....sriracha does not make a good personal lubricant.
 
You want an unpopular opinion?
Carefull what you ask for.

My wife wanted to see the commercials on the football game.
I told her ok as long as I didn't have to see the game.


Then the half ass halftime started and I told her if she liked the tv she should turn it off before I shot it.

Let me check, is this the bear pit? Ok good for me.

Fuck them all and you too.

This thread was made for me.

Pizza and beer do not go together. It's a disgusting combination. The only people who like pizza and beer together are oafs who eat bad pizza just for the pleasure of stuffing themselves and drink bad beer ice cold (to kill the taste) solely because it gets them drunk. Pizza goes with Coke, Dr. Pepper, red wine...anything but beer.

I make pizza. I make beer. I'm good at both. I keep them apart.

Here's something else: graduated taxes are unfair to the rich. The poor suck up all the expensive government help. The police, government social workers, corrections officers, and judges raise their kids and house them later on. The poor get Medicaid. The poor get EBT's. The rich, meanwhile, raise their own kids, buy medical insurance or self-pay because they don't need it, reduce the load on public schools, stay out of prison for the most part, and don't consider cops to be their marital counselors.

When the rich get in trouble, they hire real lawyers and pay for them. The poor use public defenders, which may explain why so many of them end up in prison.

Here's one: authentic Mexican food is crap. American-style is far better. Real Mexican food is bland, and it all looks alike. And the cheese looks like pus. Same basic idea applies to Chinese. The Chinese say they don't even recognize our Chinese food as Chinese. Of course they don't. That's because it tastes good. I've had real Chinese food overseas. It's to puke.

Even American Mexican food only has 5 ingredients in different combinations, but it's okay. It works.

Elvis was a lousy singer. Get mad. I don't care.

Never use chicken broth in poultry dishes. Always beef broth or beef stock. Trust me on this.

Expensive kitchen knives are for the kind of insecure guys who buy $10,000 cables to connect their stereo components. Cheap is the way to go. Expensive knives come mainly in two varieties: too-hard Japanese knives that chip in the dishwasher, and Caucasian-made knives that go about 54 RC and get dull in a hurry. Real cooks use cheap knives from Forschner and Mundial, with color-coded NSF handles. Sure, they get dull fast, but you can touch them up in 5 seconds with a diamond hone. And they laugh at the dishwasher.

You know who really gets mad when you criticize expensive kitchen knives? Guys who watch too much Forged in Fire, quit their jobs, and make their wives support them while they earn [(minimum wage)/3] while "building a brand and a customer base," i.e. stinking up their sheds and inhaling abrasive grit while trying to guilt their friends and relatives into buying high-school-shop-grade rust-prone knives full of stress risers.

"Honey, I can sell this knife for $300!" 1. No, you can't, except maybe to your mom, and 2. guess what [$300/(20 hours)] comes out to.

Here's one that made a friend of mine furious: Cubans only have 10 last names. If you're a fugitive in Miami, and your name is Jose Garcia, the police will grow old and die before they figure out which one is you.

Finally, mayonnaise is great, but it has to be the right mayonnaise. Duke's rhymes with "puke" for a reason. Blue Plate is the best.

If I have not offended you, please let me know so I can try again. If I don't get at least one angry "lol" or "bwah ha ha" out of this, I will feel like I let everybody down.
 
As for not watching football, I am right there with you. If I want to watch overpaid illiterates work, I'll watch The View or put a new roof on my house.

My dad told me that if he couldn't bet on it, he wouldn't be able to stand watching it. I think that's true for most people. At least the intelligent ones.

What I really resent is having other men treat me like I'm crazy for not watching team sports. You're the one who gets off watching big sweaty men in tight clothes, you even wear their jerseys on game days, like a high school cheerleader with a boyfriend on the team, and I'M the one with a problem?

Any man who pays good money for another man's soiled clothing has issues that need to be addressed before he ends up with a bad hangover and multiple strains of monkeypox.

I also hate having people assume I watch that junk. Asking me what I thought of this or that game, like everyone in America was strapped to a chair and forced to watch. I should go up to football fans and ask them about things I'm interested in. "Hey, how about that Carl Friedrich Gauss? GOAT or what?"

I have two degrees from a certain university, and I am continually puzzled by the team stickers where I live, on the cars of people who very clearly have no college graduates in their families. If they were caught on campus, they would be escorted off, but they outfit their whole families in branded merchandise. Do you think it's just possible you're being used?

Oh...and please stop saying "WE" won last night. I saw Bill Burr, a real idiot, talking about how HE never got tired of winning, because the Patriots were so good. Please. I don't recall seeing his saggy, jiggly, wrinkled behind or his spindly arms, waddling up the field at 7 mph. YOU never won anything. Some strangers who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire won.

That reminds me of another unpopular opinion: Bill Burr is a real idiot.

You are correct. You eat Sriracha sauce and then pay for it later.

I used to go thru that shit on burritos like you go through pancake syrup on pancakes. Never bothered me one bit.
Heres a funny true story while on jobsite. We took off for a local mexican bar restaurant on a Friday so I am sitting at the bar and I order the ships and med warm salsa. While I was talking to a fellow on my right side I happened to see out of left side that the fucker(his name on the job) was whispering to the bartender who happened to be my brother wife. LOL Next thing I know I see my sala dip bowl looking a bit full then before. I acted like I didn't see but knew what it was. I took a bigger than normal dip with te chips and continued to eat while fucker started get all giggly and laughing. He asked ain't that hot( actually carolina reaper salsa) :rolleyes: I smiled and glanced at the bartender so told him nope now you fucked with me you try it. At first he didn't but I told take little bite and be a pussy about it. He did and said it wasn't bad. Hahaha gotcha fucker! We ended up back on jobsite but since some had a beer or two we couldn't do any work and was close quiting time.Picked up the tools on my end and put them in gang box but I see where fucker didn't and was not around so I asked the other guys they said he was on the shitter a few times.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
We all came in on monday to start and he wasn't laughing to much this time and told me motherfucker I was on the toilet all weekend and I told it din't bother me at all.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I slept good all weekend knowing Fucker isn't! I got the last laugh!

I know I wrote a lot, but if you look through it, you will see that I don't watch football. This falls under "assuming I watch football."

I didn't know the Super Bowl was set for yesterday until I got up and saw something about it on the Internet. I didn't know the Eagles and Chiefs were playing until about 15 minutes ago. I just found out Taylor Swift was dating a Chief.

It would be great if the stadium were reduced to gravel by a meteor and the land was used to build a Buc-Ee's. Same goes for all the other stadiums.

Nothing mildly offensive here. Pretty disappointed.
Beer is best room temp, Busch Light, or almost anything Light for that matter, is not beer, its bubbly water for simpletons.

Went to Mexico, food sucked.

I don't like mayo, or ketchup, but disagreeing here is hardly offensive.

My wife has ruined every knife she's ever used regardless of cost, so why buy good knives?

Went to a hockey game for a work thing Friday and spent an hour at my first ever soup bowl party last night, actually thought I was sharing the room with current high level athletes with all the "we are winning" or "we'll draft so and so next year". Bizarre and nauseating levels of hero worship. Also learned that T Swift is still a thing and is now involved in sports somehow?
Safe to say that's all the sportsball I can handle for at least a decade.

I don't watch sports, either. At least not the mainstream ones. Football and basketball hold zero interest for me.

I used to watch baseball years ago with a buddy of mine, but just lost interest.

These days I only watch PBA bowling on YouTube, since I recently got back into bowling leagues, and occasionally I'll watch a pool match or two. Now I seem to only be interested in things I've actually competed in.

Guys at work will be talking about the "super" bowl for a week, and I'll be like "who gives a shit?"
