whether or not you die alone and penniless depends entirely on your SAT score.

No, they're the new hipster glasses.

Get the fuck over yourself, kid.

Start reading at "step one."

"Deconstructionism" is a term that needs to die. People have been using it lately to replace the word "deep." Instead of saying "Inception was so deep, man," they now say "Inception is a deconstruction of the heist genre, man."

Just ignore people when they start using that word.

Whenever people start talking about objectivity or subjectivity or "that's just your opinion," that's my queue to exit.

Congratulations. You ended the argument/discussion. Not by having better points, not by explaining any of the inane garbage you believe, but by dragging out the post-modern embrace of ignorance: there is no truth. I'm wrong. You're wrong. There is no reason to talk about anything anymore. It's all subjective.

When someone says "I have writers block," what they really mean is: "I have nothing interesting to say."
