Bizarre? No. Intentionally limiting. Hateful, bigoted, and selfish.

Lots of schools have a “freshmen must live on campus” policy, at least.

Are the real communists kept around back with the real scotsmen?

I put a new bag in before I leave the room to avoid that. Not ADHD just a terrible memory. Bag is in plain sight so it’s hard to forget the task between steps.

Barley tea is delicious.

Not nuts but very close, they’re called “achenes” (ə-ˈkēn). The only Important difference is that nuts have a thick, protective shell but we’re being specific here.

Not, like, “haha” funny…

Because I want to put some shelves up or go to the zoo or go check out that new coffee shop. I like gardening but rarely have time for anything beyond maintenance. “Accomplish” doesn’t have to mean work it just means I didn’t veg out for fourteen hours in recovery mode.

Yeah I got a cheap Harbor Freight jigsaw and I hate it. Cut line indicator is useless, blade slips out of the roller guide so the cut doesnt stay square or straight, the keyless clamp is so inflexible I’d rather just have the classic screw-tight mechanism…

I put it away and used a circular saw, coping saw, and japanese pull saw to finish the project rather than keep fighting with it.

There’s also ethical concerns regarding sustainable fishing practices.

Plenty of people’s edge is somewhere around Weenie Hut Junior which definitely complicates things when you also want to capture the “uses all the hard skulls in Halo” crowd.

Elaborate. Is your position that it is never appropriate to control access to something? That microcultures aren’t worth preserving? That people with money deserve to do anything they want without judgment? Or do you just think I’m being disingenuous and used a commonly unpopular group to defend my position?

Eh, a little gatekeeping is good. Especially when it prevents people with more dollars than sense from overrunning the culture of an enthusiast group.

No it’s not structurally “plastic” but it’s not biodegradable or reusable which is the point at hand so I think it was a reasonable comparison. (I also said “basically plastic” which clearly indicates similarity rather than equation)

It’s probably paraffin wax they use, which is basically plastic.

“Trust me bro, do your own research”

Even if you’re right that’s still not at all helpful. Burden of proof is on the person making a claim.

I just put my hand over the hole, takes two seconds. And I don’t have to clear out under the sink and get a bucket. (And it’s only very rarely necessary)

Plungers certainly do help with sinks. Loosens up a partial clog easily in my experience.

Specter! I should replay those games.

I’m sure whatever country you’re from has fully rejected out-of-date ideas.
