Whatever you do, don't just stop reaching out one day. Be mature enough to communicate, and kind enough to say hard truths about why.

Oh, so you're arguing for no reason whatsoever. Alrighty, then.

It's not an improvement to have sauce dripping down the handle of your spoon and onto your saucepan handle, or to make yet another hazard over the stove by wedging a spoon precariously into a handle hole. That's my point. There are a million simpler ways to address this that don't make a bigger problem. I find it stunning that you are too lazy to rinse an extra plate, but weirdly insistent on the least logical, awkward, and ridiculous way to avoid it. But hey, let your freak flag fly.

One of the ones I created in my mind. I'd live happily there until I died.

I'd argue that he's overly attached. He doesn't care about the ring any more than a mountain cares about clumate change, and for much the same reason.

He has a simple writing style? I tried reading his books a long time ago and found them overly wordy. Has he adapted?

Just use the dish you're going to eat from if you're really that lazy. This isn't rocket science.

This only seems like a problem if you've never encountered an actual problem.

I used to feel abject terror constantly. But you can only feel that way so long before something breaks in you.

I've been blocking everyone with a stupid argument, and it feels great. If we're really worried about this, just quarantine anyone with a high block rate.

Yet another example of a "lifehack" that makes someone feel smart, but is actually pretty stupidly "solving" a problem that doesn't exist.

That isn't "guts." Overcoming being afraid of consequence is merely self interest mixed with lack of abstract thinking.
