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.

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.

I sure as shit hope not.
Maybe I can get them to send me a bank card...

Is that Polish?

[skeddie]

I dunno how those work, but yeah! You got an address?

Dude! How did you know? My grandma told me that our last name used to be [he pauses, scrunching his face in effort to get this right] Kabaciński [a pleased look at himself] back in the old days but it got changed.

[horticulturalist]

Me either.
Yeah. I guess I do. It's not mine exactly but. I can collect mail. I think.

I spent some time in Europe when I was young.

[skeddie]

Gimme your address sometime! I'll send you a postcard.

Cool! Did you see any castles?

[horticulturalist]

Yeah?
1888 Danny St. Covington, Ohio. I'll send one back. I've got some vintage ones. You like planes?

None that were still standing by the time I got there.

[skeddie]

Fuck yeah I like planes! I've only got postcards from where I live, I hope that's okay.

That's depressing, dude.

[horticulturalist]

I used to be a test pilot. I flew all the expensive planes and fighter jets the Air Force had. They were bitchin'.
I'd like that. I don't get to see a lot of new places.

Sorry. Most of my stories are.

[skeddie]

I live in Maine. I'd say come visit but it's kinda boring.

Well get some better ones. Or make 'em up.

[horticulturalist]

I hear it's really pretty there this time of year.

I'm really trying to get out of the habit of telling a lot of lies.

[skeddie]

I guess. We get leaf tourists. Who travels across the country for fucking leaves?

I'm not saying you gotta lie. I mean like making up a story like an author writes a book.

[horticulturalist]

Heh. People with nothing better to do I guess.

I think... that's only not a lie if I actually write a book.

[skeddie]

Didn't you ever tell ghost stories? Or have a parent tell you a bedtime story? Those weren't books.

[horticulturalist]

Oh. I see. I thought you meant— never mind.

Aren't ghost stories kind of depressing too?

[skeddie]

Nah, they're usually too crazy to be real and just end up funny.

[horticulturalist]

Hm. I definitely have stories that fit that description.
It can be kind of irritating though. When I'm finally being honest and every thinks it's a lie anyway.

[skeddie]

If you told me it was true I'd believe you.

[horticulturalist]

Yeah? Thanks.

I know a guy who's just a brain in a robot suit.

[skeddie]

Whoa. Does the brain just bounce around in there like a ping pong ball?

[horticulturalist]

That is a good question. I don't know. His head isn't see-through. I saw his brain on a table once. But I don't know how they stuck it in there. I know it's hardwired because one time a rat got in him and chewed up his wiring.

[skeddie]

Jesus fucking Christ that's scary! I wouldn't want a fucking rat chewing on my body. If he's hardwired does that mean his brain is like a computer? He can't catch any plagues from the rats or anything?

[horticulturalist]

Most of him is inorganic so. I don't think he's susceptible to most diseases. He doesn't even feel things like we do. But I guess if it was... a brain disease? I dunno, I'm not a doctor. I majored in physics and engineering.

[skeddie]

So it wasn't something engineering could fix? How did he get better?

[horticulturalist]

There's a... kind of engineering involved in bio-technology. But not the kind I know anything about.

A friend of ours specializes in that sort of thing. I guess they got his wires uncrossed. Or. Whatever it is mad-scientists do to people.

sorry for the html!

[skeddie]

YOU KNOW A MAD SCIENTIST TOO???

no worries!

[horticulturalist]

Way too many of them if I'm being honest.
