For example, when I'm at work I don't feel like it, or if I do I can hold it back without any problem, but when I get home the urge seems to be uncontrollable and impossible to hold back.

Everyone everywhere stores their actual dishes in their built-in kitchen cabinets and have for longer than I've been alive.

Since the dawn of the 20th century, the dining room cupboard went through the following stages of evolution:

  • That's where we keep the dishes, and when we serve dinner we put the food there on the cabinet's countertop so you can get your plate and serve yourself right there nice and convenient.
  • That's the case where we keep mom's good china, we use those for special occasions like Thanksgiving and Christmas and when the pastor comes over for dinner, the normal dishes we got from Sears are in the kitchen.
  • Those dishes were ordered from a catalog in the 1950's for your grandmother and are therefore more sacred than the lining of God's ballsack. Even thinking of eating off of them is a heresy.

Yup - maybe if the pastor came over you could break that China out of its jail but otherwise it's too sacred to actually "use", for such shitty people as (checks notes) your children.

But heaven forbid the children don't use or want it - think of all the "memories" of the times that it could have been (but never was) used!?

It's not like anyone else's feelings matter in the slightest. The American Dream feasts upon us all, long live The American Dream(tm).

I never really understood that. Then COVID happened and now I see it perfectly. They are sacrificing their children to that great beast, which they themselves barely attained, and now they want to keep the dream alive... at any cost (even their own families). After all, if the pastor + TV + radio says so, then it must be a good thing.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
