Well as a conciliatory gesture, I will volunteer to be the human garbage disposal for any unwanted edible mushrooms. Just send them my way (and if they're something fancier than the white or baby bella mushrooms I usually get in the store, so much the better).

As for unpopular opinions, people should feel the consequences of their own wrongdoing and stupidity. We shouldn't rush to bail them out of bad outcomes because we short circuit the learning process when we do.

And now to be unpopular with the other side, people should not be judged and suffer for the rest of their life for one stupid mistake they made a long time ago and have since learned from.

Deep. Agreed. There must be law as well as grace.

But what do you think of mushrooms?

I love early mornings!

I was up at 5 AM, even though I technically didn't have to be up until 7:30.

And now I'm listening to people talking outside, cars starting their engines, and various barking dogs. Which is all good, but I love the stillness of the hours when no one else wants to be awake. I am one of those people who would love it if all stores were open 24 hours (without the danger of seedy overnight patronage) or at least by 4 in the morning.

I've found, however, that being a natural morning person does come with its own risks, as I have had several roommates, relatives, and co-workers mumble various threats my way over what they describe as needless morning perkiness. :ROFL:

(For people who keep in touch with me via email or chat, they know all too well that the bulk of my in-depth correspondence or discussion usually occurs during 2-6 AM, or whenever I can find someone else who is awake.) ;)
There's an xkcd for that.

Elon Musks wealth makes no sense.

He made 150million from paypal when they sold to Ebay. That makes sense, paypal was an extremely valuable company.

But now he is worth billions by selling Cars that don't work and/or don't get manufactured. A space company that supposedly makes 2 billion a year. And the Boring Company which only sells knockoffs and/or overpriced products or tunnels that cannot exist.

Oh I forgot he also owns like 100million in real estate.

But supposedly his net worth is 201 billion dollars?




To further add: Tesla doesn't even rank in the top 10 automotive companies in the world, and to talk about its success rate would just be insult on injury.

But lets insult the injury: the largest automotive company in the world is Toyota. Their net worth is 249 billion, and they make 29 billion a year. (selling over 10million cars a year).
Tesla has a networth of 773 billion and they make 24 million (yes million) (selling 500 thousand cars a year)

So Tesla is worth over 3x as much as Toyota, despite making 1,208 times less, and selling 20x less vehicles.

These unpopular opinions seem rather ....... ordinary.
All unpopular opinions are ordinary depending on the group in which it is presented.

If you are on a forum for cars, and say "unpopular opinion: modern cars do not have the same appeal as older cars" it would not be unpopular, but actually the status quo. But in speaking in terms of general society, that statement would be extremely unpopular as majority of the population prefers modern cars over older ones.

So in speaking in terms of a Christian forum, most of the the opinions will be unpopular based on status quo of society, not on the christian community.





In terms of a Christian unpopular opinion I have a great one.

Calvinists fail to realize the sovereignty of God is so great He creates laws in which He operates in, such as: He cannot lie. Furthermore, He gave us free will and cannot interfere with our free will.

The idea that white chocolate is chocolate at all is unpopular.

Does that count?
I recall hearing from a true culinary perspective that it is not considered chocolate. I believe I seen it on Good Eats which means that it may be scientifical fact too. I will have to find that episode later and check 🤔
