Anything described as "just common sense." No, it's knowledge/awareness that you picked up from your particular environment. Not everyone has had the same exposure as you.

"Common sense is just the set of prejudices acquired by the age of eighteen."
~Albert Einstein
I find the best retort to be: "Common sense ain't all that common."

That trickle-down economics quote. There's studies about it [not working] published but it's just studies.
The original quote is "If you feed enough oats to the horse, some will pass through to feed the sparrows" from Galbraith.
I imagine people are not yet ready to learn this "promise" ain't holding water.

"An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind".
No it doesn't. At most the world no longer has depth perception.

"Agree to disagree." No, dipshit, you're just wrong.
I do not agree to disagree, because we're not arguing about opinions. Your belief is simply, objectively incorrect. Or mine is, which is something that I would be willing to accept. If I were wrong, you'd be able to convince me that I'm wrong. We can keep going until one of us accepts that we didn't have an accurate understanding of reality.
It's always the dipshits that fall back on "Well, we will have to agree to disagree," usually right after they've been presented with enough evidence to change the mind of a rational person. Fuck that, I do not agree to disagree.

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"
You do realise that people who are awake during the night are of equal importance, who's gonna run those power plants and radio stations and petrol service stations and police forces and whatever else? If they shut off during the night, there'd be chaos. At least a chaos that most folks won't see because they're asleep or something.

Not a quote, just a single word that's overused to death, and you can probably already guess the word...
"Woke"
Just shut the fuck up! Please please please just shut up!
"The cloud is just someone else's computers."
If that's what you really think the cloud is, still, then you are a dinosaur who is not evolving with the times.
Do u think it's actually being stored in water vapor in the sky
