    Dang, sounds like those plates are perfectly age appropriate for your gf

    If you are somewhat tight for cash or shopping for another person some conflict stemming from this is completely reasonable.

      Then again I find it weird to give someone money and then say “Buy some plates” without any further details or supervision. Of course anon could have, yknow, asked if the plates are okay before ordering

        A greentext story is like a dream. You’re following the narrative, while simultaneously thinking that this makes no sense and how did things get here.

          You reflect on the weird nature of your dreams as you have them? I just go with the flow, accepting things as real, even though in reality they make no sense. Which then raises the question: how do I know I am not dreaming? Sure, things appear to make sense here, as opposed to dream nonsense. But if dreams don’t seem weird in context, how do I know there isn’t a level above, where what we take as logical makes no sense?

            Drag can tell drag isn’t dreaming because drag knows drag’s dreams don’t make sense when drag has them.

              What if you only feel that way because you’re experiencing it? Like, maybe you’ll wake up at some point, and just be like “wtf. You walk into a tiny room. The door closes by itself, sideways, sci-fi style. When it opens again, the exterior, the room you just came from, just… changed. Completely different”

      She didn’t communicate her needs well enough.

      Honestly, the Bee plates showing up is more her fault than his.

        Lack of communication is one thing, losing your shit like this because of it is another. …but that’s two things now, so…

        Didn’t communicate her needs? What more communication do you need beyond “get fancy dinner plates”? How do you fuck that up? If you’re unsure, communicate your need for further information, or google fancy dinner plates.

          Seriously and if you fuck up buying dinner plates then it isnt the first thing they fucked up and was prolly the gf’s “this is the last straw” request and she really figured this was so stupid simple that she thought theres no way they could fuck it up.

          These are fancy. and they’re dinner plates.

          They may not be “formal”, but they’re definitely fancy.

            No, they’re children’s dinner plates. That’s about as far from fancy as you can get. Made from sturdy plastic instead of ceramic or what have you so they don’t break when an unruly child throws it on the floor to spite their broccoli.

              Plain children’s dinner plate:

              Context is always important. Again, she meant “formal”,

              Should he have known better? Sure. But she should have known him better too

                You’ve picked out the single definition that fits your narrative, and many many things will fit the definition “not plain”. I also see that in the definition that you linked right after it says not plain it says “ornamental.” And while I’m sure there are some people who might use children’s bee plates as an ornament, I can’t imagine that there is very many.

                But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they’re not. Along with ornamental, impressive, of particular excellence, decorative, expensive, and high quality. Which these plates are not.

    Are you kidding me?! There isn’t a single person I know who wouldn’t at least appreciate those plates enough to chuckle! Those are awesome plates, I’d use those plates even for formal events, the only people who’d be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!

      and teenagers insisting they’re no longer kids. (same fight as “kids table” stuff. To be honest, when I became an adult, the kids table was always more fun anyhow. Dinosaurs are way more interesting topics of conversation than adult-stuff.)

        Drag recently had a family gathering and spent a lot of time debating biblical theology with drag’s adult relatives. Drag’s baby cousin assured us that we’re all extremely boring.

        All drag can say in response to that is that the Torah says Elohim can take away a promise if it’s used as an excuse to sin, so Israel has no right to exist.

        100% same. I’m the built-in babysitter for family events. Why would I want to hear my aunt ask for the 500th time why I’m not married, when my nephews and nieces are playing out a story where Bluey and Sonic the Hedgehog team up to fight crime? Screw boring grown-up talk, I want the imaginative adventure.

          I 100% believe the moment we try to pretend we aren’t children anymore is the moment we deny a huge chunk of what makes us human.

          Not to mention a HUGE mistake logistically speaking, because it also means that we wouldn’t be working with the actual data. We don’t lose who we’ve been, it constantly gets incorporated into who we’re becoming. Those kids we used to be are still there, alive and well (and probably sobbing in a corner for a friggin’ crumb of honest, carefree enjoyment of, like, anything!) and all we do is to try to bury them deeper and deeper, until we can’t hear those sobs anymore. But those sobs just get worse, until they… stop. After a loong, long time, they stop - killed where nobody else could hear it.

          And if all of that sounds insane, it’s because it is. That’s my point.

            Not drag’s inner child. Drag’s inner child is so wild and free that other adults have to pick up the slack of repressing drag. It doesn’t work. No matter how many times they say dragons don’t exist, drag still gets to go home and play with a dragon.

        I sorta’ agree with you in that wasted plastic is bad, yes. However, I simply have to disagree with plastic plates in general being a bad thing.

        I’ve owned a full set of composite plates for, I’m not kidding or exaggerating, 20 years now. Mum bought them while I was mid-way through high-school and they proved to be so much better than the old porcelain, that she steadily replaced our tableware with composite. And I liked them so much, that I stole that set from mum once I finished Uni!

        And it wasn’t just those plates, everything lasted! The only things ruined were the plates granddad used with the microwave oven, he managed to overcook and crack them apart (he was a moron, though).

        Granted, microplastic ingestion risks do, indeed, exist with these (eg. if one likes using the knife to its fullest potential), although a bit of temperance goes a long way. That 20-year-old set I have barely has any scratches on it, and that’s with dropping them pretty regularly while doing the dishes.

        Eh, plastic plates:

        • don’t shatter when you drop them
        • don’t chip
        • don’t screech when cutting things with a knife

        Plastic isn’t the enemy, single use plastics are.
