I dunno, man. Most people in the upper echelon of government are in that age range. Look at the bone head shit they pull all the fucking time.

While a good tip, it's not always the case. There's different people that react differently in this case.

Wait. Are you actively encouraging people to ruin their apartment plumbing to fuck over landlords and then getting upset when it’s not repaired fast enough? What a ride

Not the cover, the socket itself under the cover. Or else you paint your whole house and misplace all the covers.

Obviously. But when you’re treated like shit and then forced to take a photo because “that’s what family’s do” or “you’ll put up with this if you love me”. Then I could care less about what you have to remember me.

Curious as to what you don't get. I personally see no reason to take/have photos taken of me.

Normally I'd agree, but if the person in question is the sort who has enough money to change the dynamics of an entire market by throwing a tantrum, unfortunately someone needs to keep tabs on them.

This is a good lpt, honestly.
I'm a photographer and there are hardly any photos of me, even from before I got into it professionally. I'm uncomfortable in front of the camera. But when I was pregnant I made sure to take a few selfies and set up a photoshoot with my partner near the end. It was cold and snowing and I was uncomfortable, I ended up having to cover my cute dress with layers to keep me warm. But I set up the shot with my tripod and also had my partner snap a few of just me. I did it for my baby. I didn't know for sure we would get to meet her (I have a history of many pregnancy losses) but I wanted the photos for her. I wanted her to see how excited and happy we both were. There's always risk in giving birth and if something happened to me and she made it I wanted those photos to exist. Thankfully we both made it fine. I still fight with the urge to hide from the camera but I try to take a selfie with her every so often. I've dropped the ball on doing family photos but I'm trying to plan some soon. I may not enjoy having photos taken but I just remind myself it's not for me, it's for her and my partner in case something happens to me.

In theory it sounds like a good idea. But the problem is that ignoring a social issue doesnt make it go away and if there is no push back, the people pushing a certain agenda will believe, and others will believe, that everyone accepts their view and therefore it must be 'right'.
eg. I had NO idea that Elon Musk had conservative values until all the hullabaloo started about some companies leaving twitter. Why should they? Because they dont like the guy who owns it having conservative values? Interesting, but I thought we lived in a society that valued free speech, even if you dont agree with it.

Get the paper towel wet first and wring it out, then place it over whatever you're microwaving.
