Had to choose between a Cintiq and an iPad Pro for digital painting last month

Oh come on, it's not like 6.7 inches is that small. I remember back in 2017 when I was rocking a 5.5 inch phone and doing fine detail stuff on it all the time. People act like you need a full desktop monitor to draw a straight line these days. You can zoom in, that's literally what the pinch gesture is for. I just don't get why this is such a huge dealbreaker for so many people.

Got my account suspended for calling out a fake scam warning in a local buy nothing group

And @lily97 is right, people get way too invested in free toaster drama.

My water heater gave out on a Tuesday morning

Double check that warranty fine print though... some of them cover the tank but not the labor or permits, which is where they get you. I had a buddy who thought he was covered and still ended up paying almost $400 for the install fee and extras. Still way better than $1,200 though, so you definitely came out ahead on that one.

A line cook in Chicago told me to stop weighing everything and I still think about it.

You ever have someone just ruin measuring cups for you in the best way? My first sous chef caught me using a scale for portioning out cookie dough and he just took it off the counter and tossed it in the sink. Said cookies shouldn't be perfect, they should be from your heart and your hands. Took me a while to get over it, but now I can grab a handful of dough and land within a few grams every time without even looking. The hollandaise thing hits home too, I still use a scale for batch cost at the start of the week but by Sunday I'm just going by the ribbon stage and the smell. It's like learning to drive stick after only driving automatic.

Last weekend I binge-watched 3 shows and one of them completely flopped by episode 5

You actually binge-watched three shows in one weekend?
