Hot takes (no sports or politics) (3 Viewers)

[AAABatteries]

The Beatles are terrible

Bacon and the Beatles - wtf is wrong with you people?

 

[Scoresman]

Hazy IPAs are wildly overrated

Thank you!

I’d extend that to almost all IPAs. Seems like it’s a contest to see who can be the most bitter. Yuck.

I have a theory that no one actually likes IPAs. It's just a bunch of people pretending to like it and getting boners from the really bitter ones. It's essentially dishwater.

Maybe a little hyperbole but I have so many beer snob friends who get ipas and I can see on their faces they don't like them nearly as much as they let on.

LOL no way. What do they drink at home when alone?

1.) The ONLY acceptable time to cook a steak other than medium rare is if you braise/slow cook/instapot to fall apart consistency(think Mississippi Pot Roast).
1a.) Mississippi pot roast is better than 99.9% of all things cooked in a crock pot.

Tea?

 

[Terminalxylem]

Bacon on stuff sucks, it's only good alone.

And even then it's wildly overrated.

This guy gets it.

Most overrated flavor of all time, far and away the most common thing I request be removed from my restaurant order (or change it altogether).

I have the same theory about all beer.*

Hot take - there should be bike lanes everywhere...EVERYWHERE!

ETA - And since we're going hot take, I want this as well https://abcnews.go.com/Internationa...nerates-eco-friendly-energy/story?id=90197800

The defense signaling 4th down ...every.time. should be abolished

 

[Gally]

The goal of cooking chicken should not be to make it 'moist'. Too many fancy restaurants make bad chicken, because they're overly afraid of drying it out. Chicken is kind of gross unless it's cooked almost to the point of overcooking.

Invest in a Sous Vide unit and you won't have to worry about this again. Perfect cook every time. Never dry and always perfect texture.

 

[Gally]

My hot take is a personal one: I need to treat caffeinated drinks after 10 PM like Mormons treat brewed beverages. They’re just awful for me and I stay up all night.

For 30 years I thought caffeine just didn’t affect me and my sleeping - I could down a soda and then roll over and go to sleep. In the last two years I’ve been told I most likely have ADHD and some people with ADHD don’t have problems with caffeine and sleep - for some it has the opposite effect.

I am the same way. Caffeine has no effect on me although I am not ADHD so can't speak to that part of it. It just has never done anything for me.

 

[Gally]

The left lane is for passing, the right lane is for travel. If you ain’t passing you’re traveling and you should move over. We're living in a society here...

Take it to the pet peeves thread. This is for hot takes.

 

[Gally]

The left lane is for passing, the right lane is for travel. If you ain’t passing you’re traveling and you should move over. We're living in a society here...

And if the left lane is open for passing don't tailgate the guy in the right lane because he's not going fast enough for you.

You too, this is for hot takes only. These statements belong in the pet peeves. I mean there are even two pet peeves threads for you to use.

This sounds like it should have been posted in the pet peeves thread.

The phrase "pet peeve" is something that annoys me.

This is not a hot take

This is worse than the bacon take.

Pretty much everything is an acquired taste outside of, what, sugar, salt, and milk?

You can feed a toddler enough broccoli and onions that they will like it, but apparently, that sort of thing is frowned upon with beer, whiskey, and wine.

Unless you're in Wisconsin, of course.

To some extent, though I don’t think our palate is as limited as you suggest.

More importantly, certain flavors are nearly always reviled on first taste. Oddly enough, a couple of them society has adopted as adult beverages - alcohol and coffee. I can’t think of any other widely consumed substance that nearly everyone dislikes the first/second/multiple time(s).

People endure alcohol’s flavor the first several times, by virtue of peer pressure, status, and how it makes them feel. It takes years-decades of conditioning to refine one’s taste to IPAs, fine wine, and liquor. What food compares?

Can you point to it please?

 

[msudaisy26]

My hot take is that people love hot takes. As much as people ***** and complain about the the Steven A. Smith's in any field, we as a people crave the the stupidity and absurdity of them. That is why they get all the attention and make all the money while the person with reasonable, and well though out reasonable takes gets glossed over and falls into the background.

No, sorry, wasn't me. I learned about it on here in the Crock Pot thread.

Nope. If they went away forever I'd be happy. I think you're mistaking people's genuine displeasure with the sort of idiocy that we must abide as social animals for a true desire to revel in scorn of those hot takes.

I'm not a masochist. I don't watch Stephen A. secretly. Ever. I loathe him. I think what you're witnessing from a lot of us is coping with a pathetic stupidity without resorting to violence to shut him up and remove his presence from our lives. So all of the irony, the mockery, the insults—whatever you witness—comes from the necessity of having to deal with that odiousness in some way. And honestly what it is a function of is people who have much greater cognitive abilities than others who wish that sort of stuff into their world are having to deal with the result and expressive differences due to differing cognitive abilities. The smart are dealing with the abject and simple.

At times they are, anyway. And here's the danger. There are things and ideas and expressions that we cognitive elites might chalk up to stupidity which are mere disagreements or genuine differences in perspective or logical deduction or induction or sensory perception differences and malfunctions. And that's where the truly smart and careful make the crucial decision to be tolerant out of humility. They consciously decide not to rule over simpletons who we think are hot taking. Because we don't know for sure if we're truly and objectively right, therefore basing any sort of judgment or creating any sort of social structure or even expressing mere opprobrium could be erroneous and possibly thoughtless and cruel.

It's very tricky to determine what exactly is wrong even when it seems obvious, so instead of charging ahead with definitive and drastic judgments and actions about what to do with cognitively challenged people who are our fellow men, or even those cognitively challenged people who happen to be those who wield power over us with our consent—or even respecting those cognitively challenged people who are deciding who holds that power . . . well, we mock or get ironic or even get bitter and stew but we forego drastic actions. Because that's a Pandora's Box of bad news.

So no, we don't like the hot take. And we'd generally prefer to order society around those people and ideals whose takes or aspirations are really intelligent and the best and soundest of the takes, but the best of the takes (the cognitive elites, generally) often lack two things: 1) the numbers to enforce order per those takes, and 2) even if they could organize those numbers they refrain because how could they be both sure they were right and assure everyone that the structure they propose would be effective, just, and beneficially binding?

Well, it does happen that from time time people who are the brilliant elites with the brilliant ideas have organized in such a way that they manage to both appeal to the masses of people with average cognitive endowments and have appealed to their better judgments and sentiments to where they've all joined together and said "enough of your dumb, irrational ****, we're forming our own, new society," and sometimes it works out swimmingly with a blip or two (like America) and sometimes it winds up in a horrifically violent reign of terror (like France) and only the really perspicacious know exactly where those ideas either go right or wrong.

So, yeah hot takes. Got any?

 

[E Street Brat]

Paying for staple foods is bonkers. Everyone should get a portion of flour, rice, beans, milk, frozen vegetable for free every week/month. Want other foods, you still pay, but simple staples, free.

I never buy flour, rice, beans, or milk

Trade them for hookers and blow on the black market.

Beer sucks. Anything that requires an "acquired taste" isn't good. Never could understand it.

It isn't a blanket statement about everyone. Just a generalization about most.
