    I don’t have a strong opinion on how Trump should die… only that he should and soon.

    Whether or not the guy historically known as “William Shakespeare” actually wrote all those plays. For one thing, the plays were probably produced with a lot of input and modifications on the fly from the company itself, so already anything that Will himself wrote is going to have been significantly altered along the way.

    For another, the historical Shakespeare is almost as much of a folk character at this point as Paul Bunyan, so anything we can “know” about him is what we can reassemble from the historical record after 400 years have passed, so it’s all fairly muddied anyway.

    Could just some guy from Stratford have written those plays? Yeah, I think so. Could it have actually have been some nobleman writing under a pen name? Also possible, but doesn’t meaningfully change the content of the plays or my feelings about them. In hindsight, if it was a pen name, the dude probably should have just bit the bullet and published under his own name, because now some glover’s son is the Immortal Bard, and Edward de Vere is the guy that only the cork board and red yarn set care about.

      Ever is ever was ever will be.

      Most authors have (writing) editors, dramaturgs, script supervisors, and if you add designers, actors, (film) editors, music, directors, choreographers of movement, fight, dance and intimacy, producers, ratings boards, reviewers, testing, recording equipment, printing, everything changes it a little.

    Temperature. People all “it’s too hot, I’m cold” just shut up and go outside already. You can swim, start a fire, get naked, nestle in some brush, there’s nothing to get worked up about. You’re a self-regulating biological process that can both sweat and turn cheese you ate a week ago into heat. Those are turtle problems.

    So many answers for strong opinions on “do what you like”.

    A not-strong opinion is something like: ground pepper or cracked pepper? I recognize a difference, and I’d opt for cracked, but I really don’t have an opinion.

    Sales and discounts and haggling. People go nuts whenever something is cheap or queue up for free give aways and such.

    I only buy stuff when I need it and I will gladly pay full price for something. Things get too cheap you know. I don’t take free stuff, because it’s just more garbage or takes up space.

    This is not a strong opinion. Of course I like to pay less or get free stuff, but only if I need those things. That’s what frugal means to me. I get that some people think of it in a different way of optimizing or gathering garbage for craiglist or whatever. It’s just not for me.

    Trans people in sports. I wish they could all have the rights everyone else has, but a 200lb person beating the shit out of someone half their weight is crazy and unfair. maybe we are too focused on sports as achievement.

      I don’t see what this has to do with trans people? As if people of the same sex at birth can’t end up with wildly different weights as well? Like a 200lbs woman beating the shit out of a 100lbs woman wouldn’t be allowed in any sport. So why would it suddenly be allowed if the 200lbs woman is trans? Also, “unfair” gets me here. Sports aren’t fucking fair! That’s the entire point. It’s a physical competition where some people have an inherent advantage due to genetics. Trans people existing doesn’t change that, and doesn’t make it any less fair. This just reeks of you seeing all these “no men in womens sports” arguments and not taking the time to actually examine if those arguments are valid or not.

    The Gaza war. I don’t know enough about it to decide which side is better, and apparently even progressive people can’t decide among themselves.

      I don’t have strong opinions on someone burning you alive.
      Can’t really decide if it’s good or not.

          How the fuck can you make your brain work to give you that result? It is quite literally exactly what you said except times several hundred thousand. And you probably imagined being burned by like a campfire rather than white phosphorous.

          Explain it in a way that doesn’t cast you as tied for the most racist piece of shit that ever lived.

            As I said, I don’t know pretty much anything about what’s going on in the war, so I’ll rather not have an opinion that form it based on comments from random people on the internet.

              Holocaust, concentration camps? Never heard of it.
              Who am I to say this Hitler fella was a bad guy.
              Slavery? Nobody of us was around in the 1700s dude, random people on the internet say a lot.

              I am struggling to decide if you are actually gigantically stupid, are trolling in the most inappropriate way or just a gigantic racist POS.

    Which way to install a roll of TP. My natural preference is other than that of my family, so I shrug and do it their way. No big deal.
