Regular expressions are not that difficult and coders that refuse to learn them because they "look like line noise" are terrible at their jobs.

Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic '06) is an absolute gem of a game in its original buggy mess form it released in. The bugs and frustration they cause only add onto the charm.

Also, the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (not SatAM) cartoon is just as good, if not slightly better, than SatAM due to the absolutely goofy atmosphere. Some of the jokes in Adventures were great. Absolutely loved the joke on Sloww Going where they had Tails writing down whatever Sonic said they needed to rebuild a house for a family of sloths and when Sonic goes to look back at what he wrote, it's nonsense and Tails has to remind Sonic that he's only 4½ years old and doesn't know how to write yet.

Saw a video pop up in the incognito mode thing for yt about Tails being a savage and I found a comment that absolutely resonates with why I absolutely LOVE that version of Tails as well and why he's the best version of tails ever. They were saying how his personality really makes him feel like a little kid without a filter. Absolutely the best Tails ever, so I 100% agree with that comment.

Disabled people should have to ask for a seat on public transit if one isn't available; other people shouldn't immediately get up when a clearly disabled person boards, nor should anyone expect them to without being asked. Similarly, you have no right to criticize someone (who doesn't appear to be disabled) if they're sitting in a seat designated for disabled people and they don't get up when a visibly disabled person gets on.

First of all, the disabled person might not even want the seat. If they do, it's reasonable to expect them (as an adult) to advocate for their own needs (i.e. ask). It's actually more offensive to assume that every elderly or otherwise visibly-disabled person is incapable of that.

Second of all, not all disabilities are easily visible. I'm a mid-twenties guy and I was born with an auto-immune disorder that sometimes makes it very difficult or painful to stand/walk. It's happened multiple times that strangers on the bus have chewed me out for not giving up my seat, even though (statistically) there were probably other people sitting in disability-designated seats that needed that seat less than me and the visibly disable person who just boarded. I can't fucking believe I have arthritis in my twenties, either. I'm just trying to cope with the shitty circumstances I was given and the last thing I need is to constantly have to justify myself to ignorantly self-righteous strangers.

The Beatles are highly overrated. I respect the impact they had, and I acknowledge that the music I like (metal) would not exist without them, but I'll go out of my way to avoid listening to them.

When filing paperwork, like in those hanging file folders, the papers should be placed into the folder with the paper's left margin up. This way, any stapled pages can be flipped through as a bunch rather than individual pages. Also, the most important text tends to be left justified, such as the return address. Apparently this goes counter to every accountant's training, but I'm sticking to it.

Cycling helmets should not be mandated. If someone is dumb enough to cycle without one, that's on them.

I believe significantly more people would cycle if helmets were not required by law.

If you're getting upvoted comments on this post, you got it wrong.

Digital Marketing doesn't work. Digital Bubble is here and it will burst hard ending the "free internet" in a process. The more you work in marketing, the less you are inclined to agree... or even listen...

This will not be preaty.

What are the "unpopular opinion" rules on Lemmy?

My original understanding from outside Lemmy is you should upvote the truly interesting unpopular opinions for visibility.

For example:

• "I think potato chips are gross" - that is an unpopular opinion and I am truly interested in why you would say that...upvote.
• "Elon Musk makes some good points" - not interesting at all and probably political bullshit trolling...no upvote and a downvote if enabled.

MIT and BSD software licenses might as well be renamed to “I love big daddy companies and trust them 100% uwu”

There is no reason not to choose GPL/AGPL/MPL 2.0/LGPL/SSPL if you are writing open source code.

MIT and BSD just let companies enrich themselves at societies expense.

Nickelback is an alright band. Far from my favorite, I just don't get what all the hate was about.

In fact, I'd go as far as saying that their first album is pretty good, and I like it. Except from that song which is severely overplayed and mediocre.

There is no situation where you should start a greenfield c++ project in current year

Milk should be poured before the cereal. I've always done this because pouring milk on top of the cereal gets the top wet and also kind of pushes the cereal down. I love crunchy cereal
