I’ve heard cafeteria christian for this. It really seems to apply to most religious people. They do what they want and pick and chose what doctrine works for how they actually want to live, then rationalize why that is OK. Some of that ‘logic’ is wild…
Completely agree.
The landlord is a piece of shit.
The system that drives people to act like pieces of shit is a bigger piece of shit.
And I definitely think the landlord can both be acting rationally and be a piece of shit. I also don’t place all the blame on the landlord, and even though anyone with a 10k plus apartment for rent has WAY more money than me they and I are likely in basically the same boat when compared to the actual capitalist class.
This is a joke ntended to illustrate the sometimes absurd oversimplification that has to be made to do certain calculations. An apple falls out of a tree from 20 feet off the ground, how long does it take to hit the ground. Well, what is the drag coefficient? Assume it’s a sphere. OK, what about the texture, the air temp, wind, is the ground level and flat, etc etc. And as the problems increase in complexity the number of variables increases exponentially. So your professor might tell you to "Assume it is a spherical cow of uniform density“.
Often these estimates are actually quite good and trying to account for all variables isn’t needed.
Seriously! Don’t store shit you don’t actually use and better yet don’t buy it in the first place! And sure, the random gadget is handy that one time per year, but the time saved that one time was completely negated by all the time spent digging through a mess.
I am proud to say that I don’t have this drawer. I grew up in a house with this drawer and always hated it. Nothing new is added to the kitchen without considering the actual need and anything that goes unused for any length of time is getting reevaluated.
Could you un max out other areas? Eliminate duplicates elsewhere so things in this drawer could be moved to the newly made space?
It’s a map of the area and is not the whole universe. A cylinder is a reasonable way to depict the local area and putting our main reference point in the middle makes sense.
