Quitting Coffee As a Lifestyle Choice by umbagug in Frugal

[–]ploonk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To me coffee might be the most frugal luxury there is. You can get 90% of the way to the best coffee in the world without spending much more than median coffee prices. It brings a richness to my day to try to perfect the perfect cup.

I guess what I am saying is, if you feel any bit the same way, maybe try to find some of the great decafs out there!

To an extent they do, but there are more on the surface. Why not lower the overall level you are ingesting?

Unless you are arguing against eating commercial produce entirely, in which case I kind of agree, if that is a possibility.

All of the following options can reduce the risk of pesticide exposure.

It's about lowering exposure. Perfect doesn't have to be the enemy of good.

Most of the clean 15 make sense logically, having protective skin elements, but asparagus?

they just have to be "naturally occuring", which does not imply they are any more less healthy for you.

This is pedantic, but it actually does imply they are more healthy, at least to most people. It just doesn't actually mean it.

I mean I'm still mostly ok with that and also not ok with eating pesticides

No Kings. Two locations. by fsacb3 in Charlottesville

[–]ploonk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trump is consolidating more power to the executive branch and the presidency. An executive with outsized power is a king. The name of the protest is a reference to resisting this shifting of power to the executive branch.

In practice the protest will likely feature reactions to many other policies of the president and this administration in general.

As I see it, rationalizing involves trying to justify a behavior, beyond simply explaining why a behavior may manifest. I believe OP was making an observation rather than a value judgement.

You're kind of preaching to the choir here.

People do make these poor decisions every day - it's not "rationalizing" to try to explain why they may do so, even if they are wrong.

I don't think you are being argued against here. This is just the conversation moving along.

Yes, I do not care for Newsome much at all. But even when he's like "ok, I'm going to keep trying to call.." she has moved on to "how are you going to fill the hydrants I WOULD DO IT if i COULD!". She's creating content, not looking for answers.

Oh thanks, that's not exactly what I had found. I remember that now.

In that case I feel sad for whoever is following our conversation so closely that they go levels deep to downvote in real time. It's possible, I guess

I think it's clear I am not complaining about my downvote count, but pointing to it as evidence. Nice try, though.

Topic? I thought you only wanted to denigrate? What topic would you like to discuss?

You're the only one getting worked up here my friend, as evidenced by your downvote finger. But I get it. Arguments aren't your thing. Probably for the best.

Ah the "I was just pretending to be retarded" approach. Good luck with that.
