I wouldn't worry. If there’s one thing electric car owners are good at, it's explaining why their car is really only a little more inconvenient than yours.

The unfortunate thing is that if the Cubs fall short of a title in any way, even if they lose a hard-fought World Series or NLCS, there will be a certain segment of fans who feel like the team failed. Never mind that they’ve positioned themselves to be competitive every year for years to come.

Perfectly said.

I have never understood people who brush their teeth before breakfast/coffee. Everything tastes like toothpaste then. No thank you.

I agree completely that most people would have no problem with electric cars if range wasn’t an issue. And I applaud Tesla for taking action to make the infrastructure for their cars better.

I’ve got nothing against him and I’m not ashamed to admit that there are guys I find attractive, but The Rock? No thank you. I don't even understand why anyone finds enormous bulging muscles attractive, much less feel that way myself.

No argument on its exclusionary history (that still continues in some circles), but golf really isn’t that expensive or time-consuming to play. The par 3 and municipal courses are relatively cheap, you can find used or cheap clubs easily and you don’t have to buy new ones for a long time if you don’t want, and if you

There’s a certain amount of “my generation was better than yours” that has been around for millennia, as people invariably point out in the comments section of every article like this. There are also things that are somewhat different about millennials but are not completely their fault.

There are so many objective differences in the lives of people who are 35 and 20 today that it's absurd to lump them into the same generation. I'm 31 and even 25-year-olds grew up in a vastly different world than I did. I also feel like I have way more in common with a 50-year-old than with a 25-year-old.

I wish you were wrong.

This is exactly why I will never call myself a Hillary Clinton supporter. If she wins the nomination I will definitely vote for her in November because she is considerably less awful than Trump, but considering how many primaries are left, maybe save your victory lap for when you’ve actually won. And come up with a

Good for him. I vividly remember a high school cross country race where I basically got punched in the mouth 100 meters into the race (going around a turn in a crowd, guy in front of me started to fall and flung his arm back and hit me in the face) and ran a PR.

Agreed...but in the case of graduate programs, the students are truly adults (not just nominally adult 18-year-olds away from home for the first time). I am in no way condoning any type of coercion or harassment on the part of the professor, but it seems to me like the grad student should also realize it’s

Okay, I’m no legal expert, but for there to be a warrant out for his arrest, wouldn’t the video store have had to pursue a legal claim for the money he owed them? (And then he would have had to blow off paying the debt?) It’s not like they can simply say he owes $200 and call the cops and say “hey, arrest this guy for

I'm 31, and I will argue that there's a bigger generational gap between me and 24-year-olds than between me and 54-year-olds.

My hot take is that people should keep their own last names when they get married. My wife did and people are still surprised that it caused zero strife between us...I don’t see what the big deal is and she was slightly inclined toward keeping her name rather than taking mine so that’s what she did. I would argue that

Yup. Now, my acid reflux means I have a particularly low tolerance, so I fully understand how something that would make me miserable could be totally enjoyable to someone else.

He keeps conflating empathy with ignorance or irrationality, which seems dumb to me. You can be empathetic and ignorant (“those poor Iraqis! We need to go to war to save them!”), but if so it seems like the ignorance is the problem rather than the empathy.

Nobody ever gets hooked on smokeless tobacco (or anything for that matter) without first having made the choice to use it. Now, I agree that kids aren’t fully equipped to make that choice, but if they have access to it then that’s on the irresponsible parents or store owners that gave them access.

I hate millennials as much as anyone, but if two hours a day was that bad wouldn’t we be seeing a spike in these issues from people a lot older? I feel like the two hours a day average for kids was probably passed in like the 1970s.
