Tea is not weak, it is delicate. It can be served with milk, so it's not necessarily thin and bland is the last thing I'd call any of the good teas in my kitchen.

"Coffee is stronger than tea" isn't a reason to not drink tea unless you'd have to give up one for the other, which you wouldn't.

Early on my textbooks were really expensive. As in, I expected to buy 6 or 7 textbooks a year, with them being around 150€ on average, some cheaper, and some more expensive.

Then I wised up and realized in the end I seldom needed to check those textbooks for class purposes, and when I did check them out it was mostly because of idle curiosity, or to find out stuff people asked me. Then I started to restrict the books I did buy heavily.

Well, arguably, since on any given occasion where the choice is relevant, you're choosing not to drink the other, you actually do. As a general condition, there's no reason you have to give up one for the other, but if you prefer coffee to tea in all situations, then the aggregate of all your individual choices adds up to it.

That's not a realistic situation unless you literally never drink anything but coffee. If you drink coffee but also drink other things, you can drink tea instead of some of the other things, or in addition to them.

Well, I'm assuming somebody who has a choice between coffee and tea at any given time when they'd have the opportunity to drink either. It doesn't make sense to consider the merits of coffee vs tea when there's no choice between the two available, so it's safe to assume that's not the conversation I'm weighing in on. Likewise, I'm assuming that no common beverage other than coffee or tea is an acceptable choice for the situation (let's assume they're looking for a hot, caffeinated, bitter beverage), because it similarly doesn't make sense to consider the merits of only coffee and tea if there are other choices available; we'd have to expand the argument to all possible beverage choices, which seems a bit excessive for what amounts to a silly back-and-forth over beverage preference.

My parents are making it awkward to watch Battlestar Galactica...

Its rating is TV-PG.
They aren't showing anything explicit.
So why the fuck are you telling me to "Shut my eyes" whenever something that might be mildly explicit comes up?
Seriously, I'm not a fucking little kid anymore, geez.

[ToonyMan]

Heh, my Mother still tries to attack my ears with q-tips.  I generally tell her that I can take care of myself and I'm going to college and all that.  Getting a new place will be nice.

Better than having your mom try to get you to watch dumb R-rated movies like American Pie but not letting you watch 300... Why would I want to see dumb nudity when I could see a cool action movie and possibly get an urge to research it?

Possibly because that movie tells a lot of lies about a lot of people that can be difficult to decode for the inexperienced.

She doesn't even know what it's about... all she knows is that it has "explicit content," which she heard from a coworker. I don't really care about seeing it anyways, it was just an example because said coworker told her about this a week ago and she thought that I had seen it.

 Because it's incredibly awkward for everyone involved in such a family structure. They need to do something to break the awkward silence.

 Be glad it's not them making out.

Essay time!

The man is pretty fucking smart.

[Bauglir]

Oooh, interesting essay. I'm about halfway through it now, and I've got a couple issues with it, but I don't wanna type anything up till I finish (who knows, maybe they get addressed later?). Should I do that here, or d'you think it'd be too much of a derail?

Put it in the progressive rage thread?
