Also, what value do you place on pragmatism?

    Extremely, I don’t even waste time complaining about things (usually, lol) that can’t be changed because that’s time I could spend enjoying other parts of life! I have clothes mostly just so I’m not naked outside, and I’ve only actually put any thought into it when it comes to my work clothes (I kinda miss the days I could wear the same thing every day because I was in the army and it was mandatory, why don’t we have uniforms as civilians?!). I don’t even argue with people IRL: I say something as nicely as possible to allow the person to accept what I’m saying, and if they don’t seem to get it I just state things plainly (“this is what I’m gonna do, this is what you can or cannot do regarding this, this is what I can offer to compensate if it makes you feel better, and such is life”). I only have, uhh, friendly and purely intellectual arguments with my fellow lemmings! 😅

    As a married man to a very girly girl, this makes me basically an alien to my wife, being on the opposite end of this (and other) spectrums. She often jokes that she “found” me in the woods or “rescued” me, and since I often wear things until the holes are larger than the fabric and drink water straight from the tap no glass, she might have a point! She’s also the only one who I actually argue with, for obvious reasons. 😬
