#603 unpopular tf2 opinions in TF2 General Discussion
trippaCEVO was a failure not due to any fault of the community, but because it provided an inferior service to ESEA. The only reason to play CEVO was if you had a moral issue with ESEA's management, and I think the actual experience of playing it left a bad taste in people's mouths and made a lot of them quit the game.

*I realize this isn't an unpopular opinion.

Cevo could have worked had if they had higher prices and the goal of competing with esea. I was involved with it early on and I was ready to put a lot of money into it. I wanted to wipe out esea. We couldn't come to an agreement on prices. They were not high enough to make a sustainable league. When Nahanni said to the players to play both leagues and lowered the prices even further at that point I was out. To her credit she did give me the money I put in back and only after that Lange and fragile came in and I dunno. I wishes them good luck but I just feel like it was a big missed opportunity and they were too afraid to get players to pay the actual costs to make a league that worked.

Adebisipine_beetleAdebisiBack to the demoman discussion, where does Kaidus rank? Out of interest.
He has all the skill and dm to be the best demo in the game. He questions his own world class talent and his teamates against adversity, which makes him choke in the bigger games. Ranking is hard to put him somewhere because he has the skill to be #1 but the confidence and killer instinct isn't there.

What makes you say that?

Some great demos, but I think the phrase 'mad skills' is really befitting of Kaidus. Can do crazy things. In terms of how he ranks, I couldn't say though.

From watching him play against mixup. He was afraid of them. He went into those games believing he would lose, and if you go in with that mindset you will lose. mixup had the strongest killer instincts of any team ever. They always went in believing they were the best team and everybody else was garbage. They had that desire to win at all costs which is very important in big games. Never ever counted themselves out and that's why they won so many games where everybody else thought they were done and out.

Got to power down the red meat. Anything food where you need to be the top of the food chain to get it will make you stronger. Birds and fish are meh... Kind of frail.

clckwrkit's possible that the popular opinions are more common than the unpopular ones

a thread with this many responses exhausts the unpopular opinions

That's just your opinion.

Nub_Danish I don't know if you've been to any of the universities around here, but every one I've been to has been heavily left leaning. Though it is true I've never felt outside of them any sort of people shaming conservatives.

I was going to specifically state the universities as a part of the urban areas because there isn't much else that is left leaning at all.... In any of industries, whether it's oil and gas, mining, agriculture, or lumber... and that covers the vast majority of the province even though the methods for all of them differ greatly depending on the region. The universities are a very small subculture of weak kneed, fake, snotty entitled brats.

They stick out like a very sore thumb anywhere else, especially once they start working... It takes years for them to contribute in positive ways, just because they're trained to be obedient and do whatever is necessary to make their professor happy. So when they're expected to think for themselves they don't know what they're doing. It's really strange. I only really meet engineering and geology students so it's a subset of a subset on our universities but I imagine in other fields it's the same. They get in, they want to help but they're so used to being told what to do they can't identify what's critical and how to contribute in meaningful ways.

-protoconnor i love u fam but why are seemingly ALL albertans ignorant conservatives while pretty much the rest of the country are peaceful, educated liberals???

It's because Alberta is the highest payed least taxed province by such an enormous margin nothing else even comes close. They're by far the largest contributer to the transfer payment program, where most of your so called educated liberal provinces seem to consistently end up being have not provinces that take billions and billions of dollars from the west...

They also remember Ralph Klein's legacy. Where he completely eliminated all debt, created the multibillion dollar heritage fund, and lead the economy to become so strong he literally had so much cash on hand he didn't know what to do with it.... So he wrote a checks to every man, woman and child in the province.

Nub Danish is incorrect saying that Alberta you are shamed for being a conservative.... Totally false. Maybe in some urban areas. But I'm flown in an out of almost every town, city on a regular basis and I've never been shamed for being a conservative. But what you do see a lot of is a lot of people from other provinces moving to Alberta.

eeeGiving up the EU hasn't reduced the amount of government at all, since the UK still needs to interact and comply with the EU. All they've done is reduced the amount of say they have in the control of the EU.

And even if you have lots of resources, global economic recessions still affect you

No you don't have a clue what my situation is at all and it's silly to think that you somehow know better than I do about my own life. I don't know anything about yours maybe you're affected maybe you're not but I'm not going to pretend like I know what you are going through.

It's greatly reduced the amount of government. That's all going to have to be renegotiated and most likely united kingdom has the leverage. That has yet to be seen as the process hasn't even started.

trashpine_beetleI don't understand your point. My experience has been that the more government gets involved and the bigger it is, the less effective it is overall.yeah, just look at how stephen harper's government promoted as lean and small worked out for us!

...wait

Really random implied assumption on something I never said.... Maybe we can have a real discussion? give me a counter argument or something or at least keep it on topic. Explain why you think Brexit is a bad thing and the reasons for it, or why you think bigger government is better maybe provide an example of one that worked. Because there's plenty of examples of large governments becoming desperate power hungry abusive dictatorships. The EU as a concept was being called a failure over the Greece debt ordeal, and that's still an ongoing problem and it's just a big mess.

The EU is a another layer of government on top of federal government, which UK was represented disproportionately. 1 vote for a representative one country could be 5-10 votes for another. You don't know anything about me or my lifestyle so I don't understand how you can assume brexit will affect me in any meaningful way at all. I have shitloads of money and land and resources so I just don't care at all. If costs go up whatever... I'll be fine. It's really not something I care about at all. It's more of interesting world event. I understand if you feel differently about Brexit and that's okay. Obviously there's a large divide on this issue. TF.tv tends to be very left leaning populist and that's also fine. But that doesn't mean reasonable dialog can't take place. You're just giving me assumptions without any reasoning at all.

eeepine_beetleI believe in less government and less handouts so in principal I agree with Brexit. It will be interesting to see what the short term consequences will be and I'm sure that is going to be the focal point of the bought and payed for manipulative media for the next few months. My feeling is that this will give the UK more economic freedom and leverage in the long run. The EU could try a trade war but that's to their own demise.its going to end up the same way everything has always ended up when someone went for smaller government and privatization:

bad for anyone who doesn't own a large business

I don't understand your point. My experience has been that the more government gets involved and the bigger it is, the less effective it is overall. A lot of the time big governments hurt small business owners because they don't have the capability or the funds to meet ever growing or changing regulations. You may have different experience and that's fine, I'm giving my 2 cents bro. Brexit is not going to affect me at all in any way shape or form.
