If you have a French press, then a grinder is imperative!Hobie-wan wrote:Of course that's overkill when I drink 1 cup a day and have a single cup french press.prfsnl_gmr wrote:This is absolutely correct.

But hey, if I see a cool old grinder that doesn't break the bank at the flea market, who knows.

WTF?? Turns out that a lot of my money woes is because my bank may or may not be charging me a fee to check my balance at the ATM! And then my mom tells me that this is why I'll never move to New York. I love her, but I absolutely fucking HATE this bullshit she spews about me moving to New York! Well, fuck her! If she doesn't believe me, then when I'm rich and famous, she'll... get my forgiveness and financial assistance because I'm too good to let her rot for her foolishness. But does my being a better person for still wanting to help in spite of her inability to do her job as a mother and encourage me make me just a bit petty? That's some fucking deep irony.Raiiban wrote:That's a moral dilemma. Capitalism has no morals.
Wow man, sounds like some parental rage you got going on there. Seems a bit ungrateful of you to even think about not helping your mom if you were to somehow get rich and famous yet she has raised and taken care of you your whole life...REPO Man wrote:

Encouraging someone to move across the country to New York isnt the litmus test for good parenting...
Uh, the bank would think that is a good idea.REPO Man wrote:I WAS VENTING!!!!!
Plus, who the fuck thinks charging someone just to check their balance is a smart decision? I does NOT cost that much to pay for the ink, paper, general mechanical maintenance and electricity needed to print a receipt!
First, she is your mother. And she should encourage her children, yes. But not on fool's errands. And perhaps if she has a lack of faith in you, you should seriously consider sitting down and examining why, starting with yourself.REPO Man wrote:And who is she is say I wouldn't make it in New York? That's not her job! As a parent, your job is to ENCOURAGE your children, not DISCOURAGE them. In fact, I think subconsciously her lack of faith in me is what's causing me to fail at even the simplest detail of such an endeavor.
...that tells me you have a disturbing amount of interest placed into a fantasy of what living in New York City will be like.REPO Man wrote:But when not living in New York City hurts so much I can literally feel a dull pain in my stomach, keeping in mind that the pain's in my soul and therefore not native to the physical world, you know that says something.
