The person thinks inflation and pyramid schemes are the same thing. I think your argument is falling on deaf ears.

Alan Moore

Saga of the Swamp Thing and Watchmen are two amazing runs of comics he wrote.

Huge fan of his recent-ish novel, Jerusalem.

Literally boots.

Work boots for my jobs doing physical labor. I would spend around or slightly under $100 every year for a new pair because theater, construction and pest control destroyed a pair a year.

Then I bought Redwings for close to $300. They lasted 3 years before the pandemic and likely would continue to last in those types of career for years to come.

I don't.

I've even read philosophical works that go against what I think and feel and spend the entire time arguing with someone who has probably been dead for hundreds of years.

But I enjoy that from time to time to keep my mind sharp.

No point in reading something that doesn't grab you and resonate with you. Life is too short to put myself through that.

Navi from Ocarina of Time.

Literally the Clippy of Zelda.

"Hey! Listen!"

How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?

I'm one of those people who has never really stopped having cravings. It only gets bad when I'm really stressed but it is low key there 24/7.

Thankfully, it's only really a battle when I'm stressed.

So much this. I can't remember the last time I had a huge pile up of dishes that I didn't clean while something was simmering or whatever. By the time my meal is ready, everything is clean or there's one pot that might need to soak while I eat.

The Beatles had a huge and demonstrable effect on a large portion of rock n roll music. I'm not their biggest fan in any way, but you can literally see how they helped initiate a huge change in popular music in their era if you look at what came before them and what came after. It's pretty disingenuous to claim it was mainly only hype.

"Walden (/ˈwɔːldən/; first published in 1854 as Walden; or, Life in the Woods) is a book by American transcendentalist writer Henry David Thoreau. The text is a reflection upon the author's simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance.[2]"

It's his "independence" and "self reliance" parts that make him a hypocrite

This doesn't invalidate everything he says and does.

But it's really easy to be "independent" when someone else foots the bill for the land you're living on and you mom does your laundry for you.

Latin. I would have suggested it before you started learning two Romance languages.
