You know why. You’re just trying to be smug.
It’s fine if you don’t want a large television, but someone else isn’t CRAZY for making different choices.
It’d be nice to leave the toxicity on those other sites.

I think it’s generally best to just empathize and validate their feelings. My go to is “that sounds really frustrating” or just repeat back their feelings. I’d in their vent they say they are sad, repeat back “that seems like it would be sad”
Depending on you’re relationship with them, I think you can first validate, but then ask “what are you going to do” or “how are you going to handle it”
You can also ask “are you just wanting to vent or do you also want advice”
But unsolicited advice is rarely appreciated. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and everyone things everyone else’s stinks.
I think it’s silly this is a national story.

He was wrong to bring race into it. I think it’s obvious he was playing the race card by using the plantation owner analogy. He was attempting to paint her as racist to shut down otherwise legitimate criticism.

It’s irrelevant that she’s a holocaust survivor. Maybe she was being disrespectful and disruptive. Don’t know. If so, being a holocaust survivor is irrelevant to her being called out for that.
Regardless, this is a silly thing to show up in national news.
Blend it with something else. I mostly drink home roasted single origin, so yeah definitely making “Atlhart’s Blend” with the last beans of every batch.
Trickledown wealth, yes, but the spirit of OPs question is “stuff”. “Stuff” does generally get cheaper over time.
I bought a 55” Plasma TV in 2008 for $2100. Last year I bout a 65” OLED for $1600. Much better picture, much thinner/lighter, much lower power consumption and heat generation.
This is the spirit of OPs question.
We made it to the New World. I wish them the best and hope they find us one day, but I’m burning my ships and starting a new life.
