    The best thing I’ve ever spent money on in terms of quality of life:money spent was a washing machine on wheels, since the apartment we live in doesn’t have one. It’s the size of a regular washing machine, you just have to roll it over and hook it up to the sink for it to work. Every dish washed by hand is a travesty as far as I’m concerned. Free yourself if you can make the room for it.

      I much prefer just comparing myself to a mythological figure that was able to outsmart the gods so much they punished him for eternity.

      Verbal warning, written warning, then start hiding their dirty dishes under their bed and use your own set until they get the message.

    Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.

    If your generating that many cups every day, you may want to reuse them a few times to save yourself the suffering.

    I liked owning clear cups and dishware so I could see if it was too dirty to reuse. Checking for spots made it easier to clean, after-all it’s already in my hands. The drying rack was the clincher though, it gives them a home between uses.

    Huh, I guess no one is ever happy. We are among the most pampered people yo ever walk the Earth and we still find things about which to complain.

    I can’t help but giggle as I imagine you complaining about this to the children who sew your clothes or mine the cobalt in our phones.

          Your thought-terminating moralizing erases and belittles the restless dissatisfaction of all those who came before you to create the comforts from which you gesture abusively at the destitution they saved you from.

            Lol, seriously?

            Complaining about the most mild of inconveniences somehow doesn’t belittle those who actual struggled? That’s just nonsense.

            Look, if Bezos complains that his superyacht only has room for 3 jet skis and he’d like room for four because otherwise people have to share, is that actually him celebrating the restless dissatisfaction of his forebearers? Or, is it one of the most privileged people who have ever walked the Earth complaining about the most trivial of things?
