That’s a misconception based off of statistics. There was a lot of infant and child mortality in the past, which brought the average age way down. Average age isn’t the same as life expectancy.

You don’t need to apologize. The system that has been set up has kept you where you are at. I’m not quoting Marx here, I’m just stating a plain truth: that so long as the many believe when the few tell them they will see their day... and when the few profit off the many by having that lie believed, you end up with the…

My 1998 is a loyal friend and I will not hear any Camry disparaged. Yes, it is boring. But it is boring like the friend who always shows up on time and pays their portion of dinner and helps clean up after a party.

Welcome to Jalopnik where everything you just said is wrong! Acceptable modifications to your statement include:

Allow me to suggest one option no one has offered:

Well, someone has to invoke Godwin’s Law so it might as well be me: this is a reasonable approximation of the tone, thematic overtones, and fidelity to grammar and spelling I’d expect if Hitler had had Twitter down in that bunker in spring 1945.

When you reach levels of racism that confuse the police you are on some next level hatred.

Ah, yes, the lesser known “right to ad revenue” clause in the First Amendment.

I can’t understand what he’s saying :( I know the individual words, because they’re easy words, but I don’t understand how they come together as a sentence, the narrative thread I’m supposed to follow...

My nuanced response is the article I wrote above. I’m a big fan of roths and dividend stocks (hey it’s like I wrote an article recommending them yesterday!) but that doesn’t mean you forego the match

Weight and cost don’t have to be a big factor - a new Fit is about $15k and 2500 lbs, with the same footprint and similar performance to the much sought after ‘92-‘95 Civic Si hatchbacks with far better safety and room for 4 adults. All those airbags, better side impact, better small overlap, better stiffer structure,…

That’s sure to leave a bad taste in Monmouth.

One point being, we should be able to discuss this without instantly shaming/closing off the opposing viewpoint.

This was a long time ago for me (1994), but the first two years after college were definitely a learning experience. Here are some general and specific things:

You also don’t need to get pedantic. This isn’t a medical journal we’re reading, but we all know exactly what is meant when she said “juice is liquid candy”. When we are talking about fruit juice here, we’re not talking about the small percentage of parents who freshly squeezed a bag of oranges with pulp for their…

Agreed. As I’ve said before, whenever I read someone going on at length why the lack of savings just can’t have anything to do with personal choices, I’d love to see the last 3 months bank/CC statements to determine for myself if all the reasons are truly external factors.

A baby bird in the nest that opens its brightly-colored mouth and makes a peep sound will be fed by its parents. It will continue doing this until it is a fully grown bird. Meanwhile, a baby bird that does not do this will starve to death.

SIDEBAR: I found myself in the “not going to bother talking politics with family” boat, though I couldn’t give less of a shit regarding whether the Obamas or Clintons speak out.
