please, tell me more about this hot nanny

maybe i don’t give a shit what specifically this guy did that was bad. don’t care. do care about weird roswell shit and driving in the desert. could it be a male/female thing? maybe. but then that doesn’t mean it’s bad. it means men are more interested in the action part of the journey and less interested in the navel…

lol.

which is exactly where it should remain.

i wouldn’t bother unless you want to read a bunch of weirdly bitter millennials being needlessly snarky and mean and dismissive.

what’s unfortunate is the idiotic response by editor leah finnegan to this guy’s essay. i invite you to reading comprehend that and then come back and disagree that both her and tom ley are being ridiculous here! write how you want! i don’t know that it would or would not occur to me to list my “foibles” in a personal…

My GRE scores and editing career agree!

right, which I think is ridiculous.

How much is this is actual money?

“As Genius editor Leah Finnegan points out, this is a specifically male phenomenon. The personal essay format demands that women reveal everything, often to the point of absurdity, while also allowing men to get away with vague metaphors and platitudes”

you’ve got my vote for prezident. finally somebody who just tells it like it is.

the long cruising range was a big plus for me when I was looking at them too. I kinda doubt diesel has much of a future in the U.S. in a post-dieselgate world. I just bought a truck, and I assume it will be the last fuel-burning car I ever own. Have a manual trans Honda Fit Sport as DD (one of the best cars ever built…

i’d be interested in that spreadsheet. when i say “do the math” i mean, “thought about it for five minutes and realized that it would take me a really long time to make up the difference w/ the cost of diesel being basically the same as gas in CA.”

well then, nevermind! enjoy your TDI. before dieselgate i came very close to buying a sportwagen TDI ‘til I did the math and realized that the gas $$ i was saving with the TDI was offset by the fact that the TDI cost like $3k more than the gas burner. seemed pointless.

i meant the cost of buying a diesel car, not the cost of the fuel

His/her point is that diesel cars cost a LOT more than gas burners, both to purchase and to fix when things break, so it’s an odd choice to buy a diesel to save on $$ on gas, when you already spent thousands of extra $$ to get the diesel in the first place.

You know what car was never recalled? The ‘77 Buick Regal that I inherited when I turned 16.

Don’t make your readers look up the actual title of a show that you yourself declare in your headline that nobody is watching anyway. This is bad reporting disguised as snark.

I’ve never been in a fight in my life, not what I would call “tough” and I’m a string bean at 6'2" and about 160 pounds. I’m 100% positive I would beat the shit out of Trump in any sort of physical confrontation.

Epicly bad, terrible headline. Just brutally, awfully bad.
