Meh it's worked for 50 years I figure I'll just keep at it.

The only Swiss army knife I could get in yellow had that on it, I fixed it with sand paper.

Yellow is best color, ( I honestly gaslit myself into believing that)

I operate on the assumption that if it's an important document someone will have a copy of it.

That's ironic.

I loveThin Lizzy, but " tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak, somewhere in this town"

Holy shit, ya think it might be at the fucking jail?

A) mental health is becoming less of a taboo subject so people are more open about their feelings.

B)Language changes, for example literally used to mean something was real, now it means the same as figuratively in common usage.

He doesn't care. If he can't get reelected he doesn't really want another republican to get the office. That way he can always say " look how everything fell apart after me"

I have always told work people that I prefer to be called a different shorting of my name then the one I do prefer. Like if I was Robert I would tell work I prefer Bob instead of Rob.

Ah yes good old American tomatoes, with no undocumented labor, only $20 a pound.

A quick look says about 70% of tomatoes are imported.

Oi, some of us just needed parents who gave a shit. Signed : a rock eater.

Honestly buy something that is good quality but doesn't have stupid shit, do I need my washing machine and my toaster talking to each other? No but the stripped down no frills ones are normally built to be as absolutely cheap as possible.

My child is named after Vimes

Lol, considering I heard it all the time growing up in the 80s you might be a bit off on your assessment.

I grew up in a middle class suburb where the it was used as an insult kinda like " poor people are poor because they are stupid"

She grew up in the Ozarks and they used it more as a " we got ways to make do"

Ok cool,but.... "The material can be used like regular plastic when coated" Um coated with what, and how problematic is that coating?

Pretty sure this is true for all modern washers, ours is top load and it says leave door open when not in use.

I'm not saying it is the case in your situation but sometimes very old appliances are so inefficient that it makes sense to replace them on energy savings alone, we had a fridge that I put a meter on to see what it cost us to run, it was a little over $100 more per year then the larger one I was thinking of buying So if this new one lasts 10 years or so it will have paid for itself.

This is my mother in law to a tee, she buys second hand washing machines on craigslist for $100 - 200 they last about a year and she buys a new one. Always complaining about "planned obsolescence". I keep telling her "no one is selling a good used washing machine, they had problems with it and got a new one" Meanwhile she criticizes me for spending $700 on a washing machine we have had for 10 years now.

She has a saying "poor people have poor ways" which she thinks means that when your poor you work with what you have, I have told her it is an insult that means poor people are poor because of their actions and decisions.

When people pretend they cannot understand a sentence becuse of a grammatical error.

If you honestly can't parse out what a person is trying to say because they left out a comma or misspelled a word or God forbid used the wrong "their" perhaps you need to work on reading skills.

No but I told my wife and she stopped talking to me, so I figured everyone should know.
