Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

I genuinely don't care for domestic animals. They're fundamentally property and beneath humanity to me. I think we should care about animal welfare for environmental reasons and as a stewardship for any non-person entity.

Live in a LCOL red state. Secretly pleased with all of the folks migrating in from blue states and hoping they can help to flip us to blue.

First world countries take fundamental services and resources available to them for granted for e.g. the senior secondary education system. Citizen of a county pay the government taxes who provide you with the infrastructure and organization of professors and lecturers to help you with your education. But in developing countries like India, education of the same standard is private i.e. for profit and your education is second priority.

Even in major cities, where you would expect the education to be of the standard to propel a student to a university wherein they identify their new roles in society is abysmal.

I think student loan debt to some extent is a parallel problem. What US is trying to tackle during and after higher education is what developing countries face on the way to university.

I know that standard of education comes into play which is one of the factors because of which debt is astronomically high but I admit I don`t really know much (about the student loan debt problem).

I hate the Foo fighters, I wish Kurt Cobain was still alive so he never had to hear the Foo fighters.
