Unpopular opinions
-
sometimes its horrible to have too many job prospects.
I'm currently being offered one opportunity that I'm interested in, but not overjoyed with. There's another opportunity that I really want, and I'm 95% sure they want me too, but they have to interview one other person. The first company wants me to make a decision ASAP, and the second company needs a bit of time.
My biggest fear is that I end up with nothing because I held out for something I really wanted.
(the first opportunity is a part-time (25-35hr a week) contract job with an international clothing brand that would last at least 4 months, the second opportunity is a full time salaried job with benefits at an ad agency)
it's never just an easy path.

i've worn jeans at the beach and actually went surfing in them. i thought it was a fun way of soaking/shrinking them. who gives a shit what other people do with their jeans? how's that for an unpopular opinion?

Will Ferrell is one of the most painfully unfunny people on the planet. Watching him for 5 minutes makes me want to stab myself. The only person even close to Will Ferrell in epic awfulness is Ben Stiller.
STEP BROTHERS IS HILARIOUS.

honestly most of those movies aren't funny to me on the first viewing. it's after you've seen em a few times and you start noticing little things that you didn't notice before.

Irishexpat just go with your gut feeling. If you end up with nothing at least you held out for what you really wanted. At the same time sometimes we just have to pay the bills. You have to weigh your circumstances.

I might be the only male on this planet who doesn't think Anchorman is funny
I don't think it's funny either.

Reminds me of a girlfriend , who had read many books multiple times . Something
I can't do , once you know how it ends . To read a book five times or more seems insanity, or your like the
bloke in Memento . She also could do a roadtrip with one cd …..A very smart and funny girl nonetheless .

I read many of the same books over and over again, but I mainly read factual books. For some reason I really struggle with literary fiction :-\
On the great Anchorman debate, like I said before I have noted that Will Ferrel is insanely popular in Europe, whereas we don't really like or get Seth Rogan and his bunch of buddies. Comedic, cultural nuances I guess.

I love anchorman since we watched it while my chest was getting tattooed for 7 hours. When you can laugh in this situation, the movie has to be funny. At least, if you got a simple kind of humour
Regarding books: it's like saying you don't listen to a record anymore cause you heard it already. Good things, like music, movies or books (to me) are pure enjoyment and I enjoy the way somebody writes as much as the story itself. So, I have no problem to read a good book again from time to time. It's not just about the story, is it?

i also read books multiple times. just knowing the plot isn't always the point. take the song of ice and fire books for instance, multiple readings uncover tons of things you don't catch the first time. and with factual history books i certainly can't remember everything after one read.

I just read 1Q84 by Murakami. The story wasn't half of the enjoyment compared to his writing and observation.

Pretty sure this is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

..and there's no way you'd subject me to something I dislike multiple times in hope of eventually liking it.
That's the thought process that made me realize I need to sell a pair of jeans that I bought two months ago.

No, that's just because Seth Rogan & crew aren't funny to anyone other than teenage stoners. Fortunately for them, there are a lot of those here in the States, so they stay employed.

Seth Rogen is fucking UNBEARABLE on The League.

Agreed, it's a blemish on an otherwise great show IMO.
