Agreed. I didn’t think you were being judgmental. I got the light tone of your posts. Not everyone is a troll.

I have a more sympathetic view. People who find themselves with a sudden great windfall may be financially irresponsible, but even if they try to be financially responsible, they are not experienced or prepared for handling money. It may be they have poor ideas for how to turn their capital into long-term income.

Your examples do not work. Food (lunch) is a necessity. You think the unhappiness of eating less ore eating cheaper food is equal to the unhappiness of not buying a lottery ticket? How about those dark moments when someone financially struggling realizes how much money they’ve thrown down the toilet over the years…

The outfit looks like B just flashed Mardi Gras and it formed over her to celebrate her spontaneity.

I suppose for those who cannot/don’t cook, or for whom expense is no issue, not having a kitchen would not be as ironic as you suggest. But for those who have access to a kitchen, it is a cost savings over time which also provides many other advantages and conveniences I won’t bother to list here because obvious. So, h…

Why wouldn’t you just buy the cut of meat you want and ask the butcher in the grocery store to grind it for you while you shop? Not like you’re not going to be there the five minutes this takes anyway. This is how I get my chili grind since they often don’t have that grind packaged.

Domestication is kind of an overarching term for several different collected changes and probably would produce unintended consequences.

My network admin hat overrides my avid early adopter zeal. This sounds like a security nightmare. It’s hard enough keeping users from clicking bad attachments, bad links, and other security risks. Now the content is not only adaptive, perhaps innocuous during delivery, but only triggering malicious action later, it’s…

You mention how in BP the Rhinos are smart enough to recognize the human hierarchy, stopping its charge against Okoye. I thought it actually stopped because it was her beloved’s Rhino, with whom she had much interaction and built a bond with. Basically, the Rhino was just fond enough of her to not cause her any harm,…

I’m in the group almost always calling for jets to cool a little before rendering souls to eternal damnation for human’ behavior. The social environment always feels super-heated.

Christ almighty, you’re such a transparently disingenuous liar.

I’m a left winger my entire life

Did you even read this article or what she said? She wants a more diverse and inclusive pool of critics and to you that’s a “ Regressive Leftist attitude” in caps for some reason?

Unfortunately for the trolls, Captain Marvel is dedicated to a fallen airman, so hating the movie means they hate the troops. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them.

Same one I allow myself to make here all the damn time.

My first reaction to reading this article was that, if you have a job where intentionally causing mistakes is not a big deal, great. The rest of us have real jobs. I guess that’s kinda petty, and I would skip writing this comment, but you know what they say about making mistakes.

I have a small container with soap and water when washing dishes by hand. When I’m done with the dishes, I dunk the chainmail in there, then give it a quick scrub.  Comes out looking brand new.

I use the chainmail scrubber, and it works seamlessly and like a charm each time! Best investment ever!

I refuse to subject my wife to that kind of treatment.

I spread mine out over the top rack of the dishwasher. Works pretty well.
