    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

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