There’s an easier way: just ask them “Why do you think that?” after literally every sentence they say. Offer nothing. Bounce it all back. I’ve never had to ask it more than three times in a row before they gave up and walked away. It’s a real time saver.

The best way is not to argue.  Especially in online forums, there are people who feel they must address every point an asshole brings up.  Just because you stop responding to them does not mean they have won the argument.

I never understood the need to keep up appearances when you have a job that does all the appearances for you. Who cares what car you drive? You’re licensed to pilot a motherfucking JET. Keep your cash and come up with some great retorts for the ribbing that the superficial tech bros and venture cap babies feel they

Is it unique and cool in some way? Sure. Is it remotely reasonable to consider as a reliable, relatively affordable year-round daily driver? Not a chance.

If he just wants a cool hobby car to start conversation and drive to the airport once in a while, great, but that’s not at all what he asked for.

The land cruiser is a great suggestion, especially if you add some personal touches to it, even just nice all terrain tires in stock size; it says I drive this old car because it is cool, I like it, and I can, not that I have to.

I mean, couldn’t *one* of you have given him a reasonable answer?  The only non-troll answer is the Acadia, and he literally said he had no use for an SUV.  I get that there’s a comedy element, but I thought there were supposed to be a few helpful suggestions?

“Do you want the blue cup or the red cup?”

My daughter loves to take long showers, so after we’re done rinsing I say “okay dear, four more gallons of water and it’s time for bed”.

What’s going on here? These are all genuinely helpful suggestions and it makes me uncomfortable.

And you’re going to do us the favor of not telling us which they are? 

I think I’ll stay with my practice of going to places that have what I want, at a price I’m comfortable with, and are not too far away from my location.

This is so sexist. Why search for an woman-owned company? If a company makes a good product, or offers a good service, that should be enough.
Ask yourself this: If the quality was poor, or service was crap, would you still utilize that establishment just because a woman owned it? Would you pay more the same quality

An honest question - isn’t categorizing businesses by the gender of the owner still sexism or gender discrimination?

Haven’t taken the test yet, but no, not silly.

I try very very VERY hard to be patient but the sound of children screaming is so aversive to my ears, it puts me in a dark place. I can’t handle it. I think its really cool that some places don’t allow children. I feel like the whole world caters to families, so its nice to have a place just for adults. 

Aw. I hear you. ;)

You are indeed overreacting, Sam. You can tell because you had to include this part:

You’re now that guy to a bunch of strangers, so who cares.

Now I wanna do a focus group. I love being the cynical, overly-honest asshole of the group for shits and giggles.
