Me neither. That's why I didn't.

Don’t go pulling out the N-word just cause you spent $100 on a pink kettle that don’t even boil water.

...and where does it say that I did that? (oh, that's right, you're making s hit up).

to be fair I think you're taking out the nuance of the argument a bit. Some extra features are more useful or worth spending money on than others. I think a 90 dollar kettle is a perfect example of something that costs too much for what it does, but to each his own

...but it's not me losing the nuance. It's the people who have created this fiction that I've spent 100 bucks on something - and that all it does is boil water like an $8 kettle. The conversation nearly always reduces itself here to someone's emotional mindset where they create their own personal stories and brand that on someone else as if they said that themselves (i.e. gaslighting anyone?). The nuance is completely lost when people have decided that the issue is either black or white. A casual comment by me has turned into bull shit squawking based on pure fantasy. Apparently, I've bought a $100 kettle that doesn't work. Neither of which is true - PLUS, I'm now lumped in with the people who buy excessively expensive stuff like $1000 pens and kettles that actually DO only boil water that are sold for exorbitant prices. I guess it makes them feel emotionally (but not factually) correct. It's what happens here.
My Aroma kettle, that I'm using right now, does a lot more than that SMEG ("messed up") and at one-quarter the price. Hey! Does that make y'all feel better now? ... or would you like me to convert all of my belongings to cheap 50s-era s hit. |
