I believe they call this “individualism” and “atomization”. “Your [meaning, identity with which I don’t identify] feelings” don’t matter as much as “my [meaning identity with which I do identify] feelings” because you’re not me, and I matter more than anyone else. The progressive veil is just one worn to deflect…

You’ve put me in a real Catch-22 here. I’m a millennial, and I feel accused and resentful at being painted with the broad millennial brush.

And much of gawker media leads the charge.

Precisely, and I especially agree with the thing about positioning oneself as part of the victimized. So much of this attitude seems to stem from a desperate desire to be one of the oppressed, despite a background of relative privilege. Solipsism is a part of being young, but there seems to be no counterbalance to…

Bonus crotchety old man points for using “shan’t” whilst ranting.

It’s a byproduct of our wonderful new victim culture, embraced by the equally wonderful millennials.

How is a car sitting parked worse than one on constant loop making half of it’s miles with no one in it? Are educated people seriously in favor of public autonomous cars when the bus is there honking in your face and capable of carrying more people with a smaller footprint?

I find there’s a real thing among millennials for these finger-pointing diatribes, always addressed to some “you” so that when you read them you automatically start to feel accused and resentful. Social media seems to have created an insufferably self-righteous generation of people desperately keen for something to…

Actually, Tesla is such a different car that you really can’t appreciate without driving one. The good news is, you can go online to schedule a test drive without having to tell them anything about yourself.

i’m not a “tesla fan” i’m just a person with a brain. it’s one of the best reviewed cars of all time. every single automotive journalist says it’s something great. consumer reports fucking bought one for gods sakes. FUCK http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/tesla…

I assume you’ve never sat in a Tesla let alone driven one. I have. Sorry- the Model S is the single best car I’ve ever sat in or driven. period.

Having driven my boss’s P85 and taken many long roadtrips in it, I have to say this statement is pretty much 100% true. The only people who are able to dis the Model S are people who either haven’t driven it or have so much rabid brand-snobbery in their hearts that they actually think the CLA 250 is a “good deal”

It’s like “The Last Starfighter” of videogame design

My mom gave me solid advice when I was furnishing my first apartment: spend half of your budget on the mattress, and get the rest cheap. You spend an hour on the sofa, you spend 8 hours in bed.

This is my experience. My bed frame came with a cheap, crappy mattress so instead of spending a ton of money on a new mattress, I bought a foam topper. It was great for about a year and a half, then I started getting back pain at night. Good mattresses are expensive, but the alternative is worse.

Holy good God, what was that? I feel like I just read a page from the Necromonicon.

There's such a thing as a "legal opinion" and possibly a lawyer who would like to be clear that she or he is not expressing a legal opinion might still want to differentiate. Similarly, doctors and others may have a "professional opinion" that is distinct from a "personal opinion" they might express. Then there are…

Yeah Judge Dredd was a cool film. Then he puts down the headset and is like "I'll be back" and slowly disappears into the molten metal.
