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.

Buzz off.

Did your girlfriend come to her senses, and realize how great those plates are?
Obv its because he chose the plates and not the girlfriend

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.
Personal taste, as you basically say yourself.
But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they're not.
Personal taste. Compared to a plain plate with nothing on it, these are undeniably elaborate.
impressive
Entirely subjective
of particular excellence
This one is the only one where you potentially have a point, since the plates probably are mass produced
decorative
See ornamental.
expensive
Expensive has never, nor will it ever, mean that the product 100% of the time is better.
high quality
They never broke.
EDIT: And even so, the other definitions don't really matter, as which one you'd interpret the girlfriend to mean is entirely subjective. If he understood it as the one I posted, the others don't matter.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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

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.
Sure, microplastics are certainly an issue, but the vast majority of them come from other sources, like clothes and tires. Things like multi-use plastic plates don't even register on the list of sources.

Dear god it them

Details definitely aren't careful or many.
Careful, sure. Many is relative. These are infinitely more detailed than a plate with no decorative pattern.
Even with that being said, "careful" is also relative to a bull in a porcelain shop.They're not special, important, or very large by any objective metric.
Which is why it's subjective. Important is relative to the person. They sure seem important to OP.
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.
If you take "fancy" to mean "purely ornamental", then sure. Personally, I would never, and it seems OP agrees.
Even so, if someone is REALLY into bees, I could see them hanging these on their wall. Subjective.It's not about being better, it's about being fancy.
The argument was that "expensive" and "fancy" are unrelated.
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.
The same logic applies the other way as well. Since we don't know, they could be the sturdiest plates on the planet.
Something being more elaborate than something else doesn't mean that it's something any reasonable person would call elaborate itself
I highlighted the part where you yourself say it's subjective.
Don't take my arguing to heart I'm just doing it to be contrary at this point
Isn't that the point of all internet arguments? We're all the true nobodies fighting over nothing.

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!
the only people who’d be upset by them are stuck-up assholes!
Wow that's really judgemental, maybe accept that other people don't share your taste?

My partner would never do this, because she knows I would buy goatse plates.
Wouldn't the food fall through the hole in the center?

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"
