Leadership has the capacity and capability to change things for the better and continue to fail to do so because true leadership means making decisions that at times may hurt and may not be universally liked.

This is as true in politics as it is in business.

In short our leaders are not leading out of the fear of repercussions of leading.

ITT: people with actual unpopular opinions are being downvoted whole the popular ones are upvoted.

Here’s mine: unpopular opinions should be upvoted in this context.

Large corporations are, indeed, soulless and thankless. No amount of their pandering to the masses with charity campaigns and outreach programs ever end without them making money.

Knowing this, I prefer to take everything at face value. If I start concerning myself with the ulterior motives of these people that don't believe in class equality, I will very quickly want to put a lightbulb in my mouth.

For those familiar, Destiny 2 (a video game by Bungie, the originators of the Halo franchise) has come under scrutiny lately due to mass layoffs, and the following PR nightmare it has turned into. With every day that passes, we learn more thanks to the diligent work of journalists doing their job.

I appreciate knowing to help me make informed decisions about who I fiscally support, but I will spend my money on entertainment based on the value it gives me. Not the morals I'm told I should have by people bickering on the internet, and content creators that use these situations as clickbait.

And that all goes for any corp, I'm just largely invested in this one example. I am aware that Nestle is garbage ass company, but due to me not existing in their world view, I will buy a KitKat when I want one, thanks.

Keep your mouth shut in public transport and other crammed public spaces.

There's no public debt crisis. People don't understand how government debt works. One casualty of this is the slow green transition which will cost us dearly in the future.

I was gonna write something political but nah.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon are some of the best Pokemon games, better than most of the (especially newer) main series games. I started with Pokemon Mystery Dungeon so I may be biased though.

a "civilization" that involves "money" is simply not civilized.

shut up, you're fucking wrong. it said so in the post.

pineapple goes on pizza but everyone who likes it is doing it wrong. it needs to be fresh pineapple, grilled, with red onion.

I don't mind paying for YouTube premium because I think YouTube is a valuable service and recognize it's expensive to host videos.

Lore is not story. Sekiro is the best From Soft game. Sekiro's second half doesn't fall apart or disappoint. The puzzle boss is acceptable. The combat actually feels like Seven Samurai and Star Wars: a flurry of blocks and parrys, culminating in a coup de grace.

Chipping hit points with a light sabre or a battle axe is dumb as shit and it's been normal so long we don't notice.

"Andor" is the best Star Wars series.

Privately owned cars should be banned.

All streets should have a speed limit of 20 mph. All roads 35 mph. Highways 50 mph. Stroads should not exist.

That objective facts must be rooted in evidence. Billions of people in this world seem to not share that view.
