The only thing I know about Greggs as a filthy colonial is that it's a place where lads go to be racist

Milk doesn't belong in tea.
Also what you call "pie" and "pudding" is a culinary crime.
I sense a Yank. Opinions discarded due to IQ level not registering user as homo sapien.
Talking about IQ is a very American thing to do, you know
You have to speak the language of the savage for them to understand. You know how orangutans can be taught sign language but can't understand words? Same with Septics. You have to speak in simple sentences and drop words like eagle, gun and IQ for them to grasp what you're saying. Bit like how Trump speaks.

ETA: I'm proud to have the only genuinely controversial opinion in this whole thread. You're a bunch of wet-knickered, limp-lidded, pussy-willows.
As usual people are fucking idiots so you may need to sort by controversial...
- Autism is over-diagnosed - being a quirky introvert is a LONG fucking way away from Rainman style shut ins who literally can't function without adult carers.
- ADHD is overdiagnosed - it's just middle class mummies being upset their son isn't a 7A* genius and insisting the doctor prescribe performance enhancing drugs. As a former stimulant addict I know I would be a grade-A genius if I was prescribed fucking meth daily. That doesn't mean you have ADHD. It means you're taking drugs. The whole 'oh my god I suddenly felt "normal" after taking my meds' is precisely how I and other stim addicts feel taking meth/stims. It turns you into Superman, that's what it does. EVERYBODY reacts like that when taking ADHD drugs.
- Femboys are fucking annoying - I don't find it cute or endearing to infantalize men. That includes the stupid craze of "programming socks" and Linux fem boys. I like men to be men (I'm gay).
- Downvotes on Lemmy/Reddit are only to be used for spam - Moderation was done by the users by downvoting. This was the rule back in Reddits early days. It's even still written in Reddiquette that downvotes are not for disagreement. If you disagree you're encouraged to comment why. This meant early Reddit had a lot of great debates and discussion. Moderation was almost non-existant. After the influx of Digg and users who didn't know WTF they were doing that was lost and moderators got heavy handed. Unfortunately Lemmy has got Reddit mods so it's happening here too.

Yeah but I'm not going to update a list of really bad takes.
Then don't vote. My rough rule is:
- Interesting and agree - upvote
- Interesting but disagree - upvote
- Not interesting and disagree - ignore or comment WHY I disagree
- Insane offensive nonsense - ignore or comment WHY I find it offensive
- Blatant link spam - downvote
Makes for a more engaging platform and stops a place turning into an echo chamber.
P.S. I upvoted you because I enjoy having my views challenged though I disagree with you for the above reason. I don't want echo chambers.
I agree up until insane offensive nonsense, which I think needs to be downvoted into oblivion. Much like your "proudly controversial opinions" about modern medicine.
It's fair enough to have the thought that things might be overdiagnosed, but we are really only just learning about things like autism and it is a wide spectrum. Minimising people's suffering can be more harmful than you think.
