People Are Sharing Their "Yes, You Are All Wrong" Opinions, And There Are Some Hot Takes In Here
BREAKING: People have different opinions. On the popular subreddit r/AskReddit, Reddit user u/_Closedheimer asked people to share their "Yes, you all are wrong" opinion. Here are some of the hottest takes that are truly "me against the world" vibes: 1."A group of squid should be called a 'squad.'" —u/whomp1970 2."Some people are so worried about protecting their kids that they are doing a lot more harm than good, keeping them from developing into their own people and making them more susceptible to abuse by adults in their lives." —u/Waltzing_With_Bears 3."Help Wanted signs are not there because they want more people to work. Help Wanted signs are there because they make customers complain less when the restaurant is understaffed while maximizing income." —u/FosterIssuesJones Related: 4."The 'build things and break things fast' business approach is bullsh*t, and we've generally devalued the worth of product quality and reliability as a feature as decades continue because of obsolescence as a revenue generator." —u/AT1787 5."There's no such thing as comfortable high heels. There are simply less painful heels. Everyone told me it would get less painful the more I wore them, and I'm convinced that's just nerve damage." —u/_honeyybugs 6."Don't shake Polaroids. No. I don't care what the song said. The song is wrong. Shaking polaroids makes the chemicals smear, and ruins the picture." —u/ImprovementFar5054 7."Our living standards are astronomically better than at any time in history. It's not even close. People who are dreaming about 'good old days' have absolutely no clue how much of a horrible f*cking sh*tshow the past was. I prefer having clean water, anesthesia, and MRIs, thank you." —u/acariux 8."Remakes actually do need to justify their own existence, and you're not an a**hole for asking why one got made." —u/jackdaw_jonesy 9."Hot sauce snobs talking down on Tabasco. B*tch, if Tabasco came out this year y'all motherf*ckers would be signing its praises with it's artisanal 3-year fermentation preparation, unusual pepper choice and retro graphic design. It's delicious as f*ck. It's cheap. It's consistent. F you and your trendy Hot Ones circle jerk lube sauces." —u/Mahatma_Ghandicap 10."In the USA, zipper merging is more efficient." —u/AdventurousFox3368 11."Most people aren't mentally stable. Like, a huge percentage—probably over 80%— have deep psychological issues, emotional instability, or unresolved trauma. They might seem fine on the surface, but inside, they're not okay." —u/Objective_Patient135 Related: 12."People who do not read books should not have the ability to ban books for other people." —u/Chumlee1917 13."'Compromise,' in a relationship, doesn't mean putting up with someone else's abuse or bad behavior. It means that you might decide to be loving over being 'right' in an argument. It does not mean you have to settle for someone with alcoholism. People seem to think that compromise just means putting up with abuse." —u/Big-Routine222 14."Don't buy a house with somebody you aren't married to." —u/nofilter144 15."Stop taking your children to places they don't belong, even if they're technically allowed to be there. 'Breweries' (it's a f*cking bar!), nail salons, etc. I have kids myself. Some places are not for kids. Suck it up and find a sitter or don't go." —u/gogogadgetdumbass 16."Alcohol is one of the worst things that was ever invented. My mother always tells me how bad a mother my grandma was because she was an alcoholic back then. People always try to get me to drink it (I'm German btw) and I have spent too many nights taking care of my brother/friends because they were too drunk not to hit their head on the wall while throwing up." —u/NomadicSeer2374 17."Don't subject non-consenting people to your kinks." —u/cat_prophecy Related: 18."Bicycles do not belong on the road." —u/SailorVenus23 19."Clicking 'unsubscribe' on spam emails is the wrong thing to do, and makes it worse. Many people believe that clicking 'unsubscribe' on any unwanted email is the right way to stop spam, but in reality, doing so on what are actually scam emails only confirms to attackers that your address is active. This leads to more spam or even targeted attacks. The correct action is to mark it as spam and delete it." —u/ImprovementFar5054 20."Everyone should pee sitting down. The only exception would be if there is a handicap/disability that doesn't allow for sitting." —u/BasilMustard 21."Squirting is p*ss. It absolutely is, and it belongs in the same fetish categories as golden showers and scat. No amount of apologetics or excuses will overrule the actual science, which says it's urine with a few drops of other substances. If you fill a pot with diarrhea and add a spoonful of honey it doesn't magically stop being a pot of sh*t." —u/SpiderCop_NYPD_ARKND 22."Docking dogs' tails and clipping their ears should come with a prison sentence. Very surprised NA still allows such a cruel practice." —u/Aggravating_Ad_1026 23."Avoiding respectful interactions with the opposite sex is not respectful of your partner. It just screams, 'I'm a sh*tty partner who can't be respectful of my partner in a normal situation' or 'my partner is abusive.' Either way, it's not a good thing at all." —u/razzledazzle626 24."I'm fanatically opposed to generative AI, and I will die on the hill that it shouldn't be regulated, it should be banned, and the data centers where it is developed should be destroyed. I think it is possibly the single most destructive piece of technology ever developed and every time I see somebody complain about AI half the responses are some braindead argument about how people said the same thing about cars, as if all technological developments are necessarily a good thing and all arguments against them are equally bad." —u/DAmieba 25."Mowing the lawn. The idea that we spend four to five hours a week mowing and keeping lawns while the biodiversity of the planet is in a severe decline is mind-boggling to me. It's incredibly environmentally damaging, and archaic, and was started in the 1700s as a way for the people to feel like they had a higher social status that was in line with the French monarchy that introduced the idea." —u/Low_Butterscotch_594 26."Calorie counting is a great method for weight loss, but the way Reddit portrays it is super simplified. It's not an accurate 1:1 ratio, and other proven variables will cause your rate of weight loss to be different, like gut health, sleep, depression, anxiety, etc. Even beyond these, people's bodies are different and may be tuned differently. You can have two men of the same age and build on exactly the same diet and exercise routine and still get differing results. And to be quite frank, how Reddit portrays it is a little messed up. It's basically: 'if you're still fat, you must be lazy.'" —u/psycharious Related: 27."Religion is poison. Especially the ones I grew up around, which were mainly Catholic. Yes, I know this is stereotypical Reddit atheism. It's still the truth. The only subjective part of that is my disproportionate hatred for Catholicism when other, worse religions exist. Those other ones didn't do as much damage to me or mine, though." —u/Porrick 28."No, the pedestrian does not always have the right-of-way. They have to follow traffic signals just like anyone else." —u/AmigoDelDiabla 29."The word favorite and how people use it. Favorite means one. You can have one favorite thing. You can't convince me. It's a hill I'll die on. My mind is made up, and you all use it wrong." —u/FuerGrissa0stDrauka 30."All drugs should be legalized." —u/GirlieSquirlie 31."America is not a good country, and its healthcare system is a humanitarian crime." —u/Used_Juggernaut1056 32."PhDs (and to an extent, master's degrees) are a measure of perseverance, not intelligence." —u/DConion finally, "War is a barbaric tactic. If your leader can't resolve their issue without murdering people, then it's not the job for them. Doesn't matter the issue. We progressed enough to understand that war does nothing. It's wild that it's a justified thing within our society. Defending yourself from an ongoing attack is not inciting war. Therefore, it is not what I'm talking about." —u/MotherofBook Do you have an opinion that you are flying solo with? Let me know in the comment section or leave an anonymous comment on the form below.

Woman Refuses to Act Like a ‘Big Sister' to Estranged Dad's New Family
A Reddit user wonders if she's overreacting after her father suddenly decided he wants to be part of her life after being absent for 15 years He invited her to a family dinner with her half-siblings, who asked if she was their "cousin" He then "got mad" when she refused to come to his weekly "family nights," citing his absence in her life growing upA woman on Reddit is wondering if she's in the wrong for not wanting to play "happy family" with her dad after he remarried and had two kids. In a post shared to the forum r/AmIOverreacting, the poster details her sticky relationship with her father. "I was raised mostly by my mom. My parents divorced when I was 8 because my dad cheated. Classic," she details at the opening of the post. "After the divorce, he moved out, remarried within a year, and had two more kids. He never really disappeared, but he definitely downgraded me from 'daughter' to 'occasional visitor.' " Over the years, she notes that he would show up for events like her birthday, gift in hand, though he was rarely present at other key moments in her childhood. This, coupled with his lack of interest in her life, led her to "[stop] expecting anything" from him. "Anyway, now that I'm older and 'easier' to deal with (his words), he suddenly wants to be close again," she explains. "He invited me over for dinner with his new wife and their two kids, like we're one big happy family." She describes the first dinner as "awkward," and her half-siblings were similarly confused by her sudden appearance. "The kids asked if I was their cousin?? My dad just laughed it off and told them I'm 'like their big sister,' " she explains. "No one corrected them." Though her dad explained it would "mean a lot" to him if she started attending their regular Sunday "family nights," she told him she wasn't interested in suddenly becoming a recurring face during these moments. "I told him honestly: I'm not comfortable playing this fake family role," she says. "I said I'm open to rebuilding our relationship, but I'm not going to pretend like the last 15 years didn't happen just to make him feel better." Unfortunately, her father wasn't particularly understanding of her feelings, and "got mad" and said she "was being cold and selfish." "His wife texted me later saying I broke his heart and that I should be 'more forgiving,'" she continues. "So now I'm the villain for not being ready to play big sister in a family I was never part of." Other Redditors in the comments agreed that she's right to feel slighted by his actions. One user pointed out that his own words even proved that he was not ready to be a father figure in her life. "He doesn't even see you as his daughter. He told the other kids 'like' a sister. He never acknowledged you as his actual daughter," they wrote. "Honestly, I would go no contact. He is refusing to take accountability for how he discarded you, and then gaslighting you to make you seem like the one who's in the wrong." Read the original article on People
