unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

top level

with your characters’ unpopular and/or controversial opinion. Or share few of them at once. In person or via text. Prepare for disagreement.

comment

to tell them why they're wrong, validate a kindred spirit, or just troll them for caring about such a silly-ass thing in the first place.

Fair enough. There was a time I couldn't have either.

We don't always get to pick the people near us.

[Wrench hesitates a long moment. Text leaves too much to speculation. It doesn't carry enough of the sense of intent for him to know if the man is joking, or takes him as serious. But "fair enough" makes him think the latter.]

I'm just bullshitting, [he admits, rather than let the stranger believe he thinks so highly of himself.]

Almost never, in my experience.

[Half century of looking at his on face in the mirror doesn't leave Larry with a lot of wiggle room when it comes to humor at the expense of someone else's appearance. Even if Wrench was expecting more jesting in good faith, that's a stone best left unturned.]

[He shrugs.] Why? You look all right to me.

Unless, you pick no one.
That's seems mostly achievable on one's own.

High praise.

I'm sure you look great yourself, for a man in his nineties who's survived a plane crash and inexplicable digestion by a donkey?

That was the goal for retirement. [It doesn't seem worth the mention that he hasn't chosen it himself. He'd never actually ask to be left entirely on his own, to his own devices.] Self-sufficiency's a tough road to hoe.

Why do I get the feeling you'd be more comfortable if I'd called you ugly?

Don't put any money on that.

Retirement from... ceiling painting? I didn't realize that was such a networking job.

Be more comfortable if you called me a big dumb motherfucker, really. But I'm not all that used to anyone calling me much of anything.

Glad you said so. My disposable income's a little lacking at the moment. How about this: I bet you're the best-looking 90-something year old alive today who's survived a plane crash and being eaten by a donkey.

Well, you meet a lot of people. But if you do the job right, you only meet them the one time.

Seeing as how I only know if one of those things is true, that would feel like making a lot of assumptions. Maybe you could tell me your name and I'll just stick with that.

I might just have that much going for me. Just don't put me up against any of the dead ones.

And just hope they don't change their mind about the color I guess.
