    Unpopular != wrong. Not only is there no true right or wrong when it comes to these opinions (though I think most people could agree on a certain number of rights and wrongs), we're talking about dating, marriage, and relationships. That means what matters is how amenable other people are to your opinions.

    That being said, I think anytime someone's opinions or actions are met with disagreement and/or hostility, the correct response is introspection. I just did it myself when you responded. It doesn't necessarily have to result in a changing of opinions, but it can.

    To use your and my comments as an example, if I read your comment and decided no, you're wrong, and I'm going to dig this hole about 3 feet deeper, then that's my prerogative. But that means I shouldn't necessarily expect you to swipe right on me, or for us to have a fun night out sometime, or even have a big happy family.

    Honestly, I think around 2008. There was a lot of .... varying levels of veiled anger about Obama's election, and I think it stoked a lot of deeply-held fears among (especially, but not only) younger white men. Also, if you target internet forums and chatboards for niche interests, turns out your darts are going to mostly land on that demographic.

    I imagine because they know, deep down, that their ideas are unpopular and thus they can't afford to be upfront with them. Especially if you're younger, you're well aware that most people your age are more progressive than you. Unfortunately, instead of triggering a reaction of "well hmm, maybe that should encourage me to introspect about my ideas", it tends to lead to doubling down.

    I love Newpipe - I know a lot of people preferred Vanced but it's nice to be able to watch Youtube videos without telemetry. The only thing missing is not being able to cast videos, but maybe someday... Honestly, I should get off my ass and help put together a PR or something.

    Twire is one of the last open-source, 3rd party Twitch apps out there. It doesn't have a ton of customization options, but it works, and it doesn't require Google Play Services, which I always appreciate.

    That's what I've heard. Maybe in 5 more years they'll announce a Golden/Royal type of release.

    In fairness, no, it's not confirmed. The only things pointing to that is that a) the trailer doesn't include Kotone, which admittedly could be a coincidence, and b) a Twitter account that info-dumped said that P3Reload is "a full remake but not definitive", indicating that some content will be dropped.
