    She didn't communicate her needs well enough.

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

    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

    In no context are the bee plates any kind of fancy.

    Disagree. Bee plates are fancier than plain kid plates.

    Nah, I've seen plenty of children's plates and designs like that are very common. They're definitely very cute but do not fit the definition of fancy.

    Agree to disagree I guess. I have kids, and I'd absolutely save those for special occasions for them, like when we have their favorite food or something.

    Sorry but I cant agree to disagree. Not because I don't agree that they could be called "fancier" while not strictly fitting the definition of fancy, but because I enjoy arguing to much to ever stop.

    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.

    I gave objective reasons why they don't fit the definition fancy, but you just had to latch onto the one that wasn't.

    You just keep picking one thing that works as an argument for you while ignoring all the ones that don't.

    Here some definitions for you, Elaborate: Containing a lot of careful detail or many detailed parts. Details definitely aren't careful or many.

    Impressive: If an object or achievement is impressive, you admire or respect it, usually because it is special, important, or very large. They're not special, important, or very large by any objective metric.

    Decorative: Serving to decorate especially : purely ornamental You could use them as a decoration but it's definitely not their purpose, and them saying that they never broke implies that they were using them.

    Expensive has never, nor will it ever, mean that the product 100% of the time is better.

    True, but irrelevant. It's not about being better, it's about being fancy. (Edit: Whatever fancy actually means, words have lost all meaning at this point of the argument and I'm losing grip on reality)

    They never broke.

    Maybe, but we don't know how often they were used or even how they were used. And while I've never seen these particular plates in person, I've know plenty of plates like them where the printed design will quickly chip of or fade which speaks of poor quality.

    Compared to a plain plate with nothing on it, these are undeniably elaborate.

    Something being more elaborate than something else doesn't mean that it's something any reasonable person would call elaborate itself. If I scribble on a piece of paper you could say it's more elaborate than an empty page, but would anyone look at some paper with a scribble on it and call it elaborate without a reference point?

    Edit: ignore that paper analogy, upon further thought I don't think you can call something that's elaborate elaborate without a plainer reference point to compare it to actually. I still stand by the first bit about something being more elaborate makes it elaborate itself though.

    Edit 2 electric boogaloo: Don't take my arguing to heart I'm just doing it to be contrary at this point

    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.)

    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.

    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.

    Meh. Plastic plates suck for other reasons... More and more plastic waste sucks

  • source
  • parent
  • hideshow 4 child comments
  • 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.

    Plastic is the enemy. Not just single use plastics. But all unnecessary plastics. The micro plastics disrupt food chains. They also get into food. It's not great. They get everywhere with no chance to decay.
