My unpopular preferences
There are certain aspects in life where I find myself constantly swimming upstream against the popular, default, and/or socially acceptable preference(s). My own choice is mostly based on technical superiority (in my opinion) plus a bit of personal taste (e.g. there is no right or wrong in music).
Below is a long but not exhaustive list of my unpopular preferences. These are long-held stances that are unlikely to change in the future. The groupings are somewhat arbitrary, as things can fall under multiple categories (e.g. transportation affects people and society). There are also things I cannot say for the fear of getting lynched.
