Nice try Satan.

Airbags on the whole cause more harm and expense than good.

CarnivorousCouch,

How do you figure?

dan1101,

I think the statistics are likely incomplete and flawed. At low speeds and for small people, airbags are often more dangerous than the collision that triggered them. Especially the frontal ones that blow up in your face. Broken noses, black eyes, bruises, lacerations.

Financially airbag deployment tends to total many older or less valuable vehicles even if the rest of the vehicle is sound.

Wearing your seatbelt is the best protection. Seatbelt plus airbag is a bit safer for more serious collisions. Airbags without seatbelts is less safe than no airbags are all. I’m all for seatbelts, less for the big frontal airbags.

BigTrout75,

The Internet is to open. ISPs should have blocking controls accessable to subscribers.

reddithalation,

but everything is https so its not like they can really filter it much. idk just seems way easier to block what you want, on the device, as opposed to trying to dismantle the carefully built system of networking

BigTrout75,

Exactly! Content filtering should be standard with every Internet subscription. Something like OpenDNS community.opendns.com/domaintagging/categories

Sadly this would probably only lead to paying more for certain content types.

reddithalation,

yeah sure DNS based blocking, I host pihole to do that on my network, but if a device sets an alternate DNS server, I don’t think there’s anything I could do about it.

I don’t really agree that the internet is too open, but I also just don’t think that forced censoring on the ISPs side is possible, simply because of how networking works.

Believe me I wish I could block YouTube ads with a DNS server, but DNS only is for domains, and the ads are from the same domain as the video, and there is no way to decrypt and censor https traffic (without your certificate on the client, but if you can do that then just put censoring in the browser/computer anyway)

and like, if you don’t want kids seeing nsfw stuff or etc, there are DNS servers for that, just set that on the device or in your router for the whole network

argv_minus_one,

You already have that, in the form of the Windows Defender firewall.

wallmenis,

I mean… There are firewalls for that…

hanamin,

Entering the domain of "What is your most controversial opinion?" is similar to investigating non-conventional viewpoints in Environmental Law Dissertation Topics. Dissertation topics in environmental law explore uncharted legal ground, just as controversial viewpoints question conventional wisdom. Are you prepared to offer your distinct perspectives on contentious beliefs as well as environmental law discussions? Let's celebrate differences in thought and encourage deep conversations! https://thedissertationhelp.co.uk/environmental-law-dissertation-topics/

BilliamBoberts,

The people in this thread calling for AI overlords to take over for our governments and leaders dont understand that AI is trained to mimic human speech and behavior, not improve on it.

Old Skuamorphism (correct me if I spelled it wrong) on iPhones were so nice

Johanno,

Genocide is an option.

dyslexicjedi,

Society and people are really shit. I hate the idea of having to interact with someone/anyone during the day. I really need to build a cabin in the woods.

Many first unpopular opinion, which seems to be not unpopular anymore was in 7th grade (approximately 13-14 years old) we had a project week about drugs. I was the only one who said that I actually thought drugs should be legal. That was 20 years ago.

Other than that the closest thing to an unpopular opinion is that I sort of think arranged marriage between people in, e.g. the west and Thailand is ok IF the marriage also include empowerment clauses, e.g. full support for the woman to study or whatever she values. Also, there should be some beneficial exit clauses. It is sad that the women find these arrangement/arrange marriage beneficial, but as long as they do I support their desperate attempt to better their life. And yes I do know of some examples - both very good and bad.

Deccan Traps volcanic activity is a better explanation for the KT extinction event than Chicxulub.

Silverseren,

You're gonna make me start a fight with you.

Though, from a realistic scientific standpoint, the answer is and has always been both are responsible. The impact was a major destructive event that caused massive sun-blocking constant winter die-offs that the Deccan Traps contributed to over a much longer period.
