    Great. What does that have to do with any of your accusations about me?

    Or did you forget about those?

      You didn’t ask, lol.

      I still think you will conflate needs with wants even if in this specific discussion you chose to concede and admit people don’t need to eat more than vegetables and beans.

        “You do the exact opposite of the thing you just did.”

        Got it. Anything but admit your evidence-free guess about me might have been wrong.

        I forgot- admitting you’re wrong on the internet is the worst possible thing you can do.

          Good thing is you don’t have to convince me to prove me wrong.

            I’m pretty sure I already proved you wrong.

            And, of course, it’s not in any way possible that I was ever poor enough to have to live on nothing but that for weeks at a time myself.

            Of course, I did use spices. And I didn’t need spices, so I’m conflating want and need. Unless I have beans and vegetables that are already spoiled which I dug out of the dumpster in cloudy water with no spices, I don’t know the difference between need and want.

            Jesus fucking Christ. Have you ever even had to live like that for an extended period of time? It’s absolutely awful. It’s torture.

            But I don’t know the difference between needs and wants because I didn’t get down to the absolute basest way a human being can survive.

            Listen to yourself.

              I take back what I said about you being not flustered.

                Please tell me when you have personally experienced the difference between need and want. Have you ever experienced it?
