I think the problem is that one side is making a statement as an absolute, and the other one is making a statement which they quantify as "most".

One single occurrence disqualifies the person claiming the absolute.

"Most" would mean more than half, which may be a big ask but we don't know their entire experience, culture, environment, and all the other factors involved.

For the record, as a very fair skinned 53yo woman with blue eyes and blonde hair, I've spent my entire adult life hiding from the sun and wearing sun screen year round (I live in the Chicago area.) I regularly get mistaken for my early-mid 30s, and if I look really close I can see some fine crows feet when I smile. I dare say 10 years ago they'd have been hard to find lol.

I didn't wait for them to accuse me of stealing. My final straw was when they removed 80% of the check outs in favor of self check outs.

Right up until the point that someone complains that grams are metric and not American, calling for a boycott. It makes my head hurt.

Should I be calling it a foot speculum or heel speculum? Which sounds worse?

Achilles speculum? Tarsal speculum?

But isn't it basically bunny veal anyway?

My current problem is that I have a big job that I still can't even get done.

I need a roof, as in I have an extremely old house with a very old worn roof that has actually developed a whole rotted into part of it. If I can get a roofing company to come out to do an estimate, they won't even talk numbers with me unless I tell them I'll file an insurance claim as storm damage and they'll work with the insurance company. This isn't storm damage. This is me not having money for too many years to get the job done when it should have been done, and now my roof is fucked, and I'm getting a run around by the people to replace it.

My boyfriend is up to his eyeballs deep in boardgames. He does trade/sell the ones he knows are unlikely to get played again, but he's probably got somewhere in the area of 120-140 games. The vast majority of the games he's collected over the years have been funded by Kickstarter and many have expansions upon expansions to keep some games replayable. Many of the components are printed/manufactured in other countries, and still plenty of the games will run several hundred dollars each.

Once Trump was elected, with the talk about tarrifs he loosened up his budget to buy up what he could from his wish list, just to avoid this added expense.

This level of boardgaming is something I never knew existed till we started dating lol.

I seriously loved that game! That's the first thing I noticed lol.

Oh God, the truth in this hurts.

Growing up in the 80's there were many Sunday afternoons that some form of rodeo was on. From what I remember they made it a timed event where the cowboy on horseback would run up next to the steer, then slide off the horse onto the steers neck, grabbing the horns and twisting to flip it to the ground. The timer stopped them the steers hip met the ground.

As a kid I thought "ok, so I guess that's a thing." As an adult I think about what it's got to be like to be startled and try to run away, only for a shitty chiropractor to throw me to the ground, then celebrate.

The line is blocked between 2-3, so 3,6,&7 don't get anything.
