I bought a Bosch dishwasher because of this reputation, and I hate it.

The drying function is a joke. Everything plastic comes out with water still all over it. My Maytag (which admittedly died) used to dry everything perfectly.

Also the racks on the Bosch are poorly organized. It’s always a challenge to find places to fit everything.

I’m going to eat the whole damn thing anyway. ZERO cuts.

As a child, my school evaluated all students’ IQs, and the ones above a certain score were labeled “MGM” (mentally gifted minors) and put into “gifted” classes. Nothing has held me back more in life than being told I’m objectively smarter than someone else.

It has taken years to respect the virtue of discipline in learning. Throughout school, and then into adult life, if something didn’t come easily to me, I would abandon it instantly, because the notion of having to work for a skill was so foreign to me.

We should never praise the child (you’re so smart), we should praise their effort (great work on this).

We cancelled Prime when they decided to charge extra to prevent commercials on streaming (enshittification). Then, when our Prime anniversary date came, they charged us for another year anyway. Currently exploring how to get a refund.

Wake me up the day this SOB suffers any actual consequences for anything he does.
