I hate the word 'Consumer' or I mockingly call it 'CONSOOMER'. Because that's to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We're no longer customers. We're consumers now. And a consumer's purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it's what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.

Woo woo is a term I hate mostly because I associate it with New Atheist Dudebros and feel James Randi, the guy who coined it, was highly overrated and maybe not the best human being.

Note: I don't have a problem with atheists, New Atheists and Atheists are two very different groups.
