    I hate the word “subjective” now. It absolutely does not mean what most people think it means. And it certainly doesn’t mean that there’s no such thing as objective quality/effectiveness, nor that there’s no such thing as good taste.

      It’s in opposition to what is objective, I don’t understand how someone could think if one exists the other can’t…

      But I also don’t understand why people were eating Tide pods so…

        1. You can’t define something with “it’s the opposite of something [that you also haven’t defined properly]”
        2. It’s still not what most people think it is, but
        3. I really don’t want to be forced to open up this can of worms right now. I don’t have the mental energy

          1. They weren’t attempting to define the term though. They mentioned it exists.

          2. You have no idea what most people think and based on your reply Im really inclined to believe you are mistaken.

          3. This is the most pretentious and bullshit response you could give. There’s no reason for you to ever take a condescending tone about anything especially when you haven’t proved your point or even attempted to. Im not even sure why you bothered to post at all.

          If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
