IKR?

Boomer is an attitude (and a heart condition due to anxiety about People Different From Us).

Yes, see what others have written about the stealerships. The problem isn’t that people don’t want the cars, but that the stealerships for some reason don’t want people’s business.

Maybe wash them.

A base 2019 model year car handles, drives, accelerates, brakes, and generally performs way better now, than any 1999 car did when new.

There’s that. There’s also the curse of the cheap car: nobody looks after them. A 5 year old Kia looks and drives like a 15 year old Honda, not because Kia didn’t build them as well as Honda, but because the owner didn’t give put money into it, didn’t replace the oil on time, didn’t take it in for alignment check,…

An eating disorder is an illness.

So, “guilty as charged” is what you’re saying then?

You’re mostly there—although you focus too much on individual responsibility where what we actually need is massive investment in public infrastructure.

This is ridiculous. Nobody (that matters) is denying that climate change is real. The climate has been changing since the beginning of time.

oh christ another boomer who thinks children aren’t authentic whole people

This is where I agree with Clarkson. If Greta wants to make the most of her 15 minutes, she SHOULD be talking about these kinds of policies, not just fear-mongering. Is fear-mongering necessary? Absolutely. But if that’s all she’s got, she will lose momentum in a hurry.

Why waste the time and effort.

I’m literally telling you that we need to focus on the things that are helping to change our world.

* if your reaction is like that of a whipped dog, then stop misbehaving like the dog that deserves a whipping

Clarkson’s column also had a healthy dose of sexism

Why should we sit around and argue about how we are going to die and when we are going to die, instead of focusing on how to fix these issues?

Does it even go as far as proofreading? I mean, this is something you spot right at the get-go, like “huhoooyeah, take 32 off before I paste this or I’ll never live the fucker down...”

That ... that’s not a typo. That’s a complete and utter failure to understand what temperature scales mean.
