Never before in human history have
*things gone out of style
*things become less formal
*younger people don't have room for all their parents downsizing stuff

*big debate over what should and shouldn't be painted

I'm a "rise the shit out of dishes before they go in washer" person, which is the only reason that this thing still works and we haven't died of some kind of cross contamination.
