It really irritates me when I see a tweet that makes a great point, but then tacks on some inane culture war shibboleth at the end, making it un-retweetable by any intellectually honest person.

I don't even OWN any yellow clothes because they make me look ill due to skin undertones.
Brides like this need to be shut down from the get-go; her fiance should also deeply consider whether he should get legally entangled with such a narcissistic control freak. https://t.co/tDlu4ILlTE

The greatest source of evil in the world is a pair of linked cravings: the desire for power over others, and the desire to be controlled by "leaders". Each is reinforced and supported by the other.

Corollary: "Follow your dreams" is text for a Hallmark card or a poster on a '70s teenager's wall, not serious life advice for adults with a realistic view of the world.

Who the hell decided "factory" was a good word to include in the names of chain restaurants? I can't think of a lot of less-appetizing words they could've used without being actually off-putting.
