No matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something that's so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And you'll say "Huh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but you're right" and that doesn't mean you were "morally toxic" before, it means you're a non-omniscient human capable of growth.

Today I had chemistry (I'm taking a summer course). We were supposed to generate graphs for our data using excel spreadsheets.

Unfortunately, all the class desktops were occupied by the time I got to graph making. No problem! I brought my laptop. I figure I can make it in google sheets, since I don't have excel, and still get the assignment done on time.

So I generate my graph. Google sheets works beautifully. It takes me all of five minutes to make my two graps. They have all the details listed in the instructions. I show my teacher.

"What did you use to make this?"

"Uhhh, google sheets? All the computers were occupied, so I used mine, and it doesn't have excel."

"I gave you instructions for a Reason! Remake it using excel!"

So. Back to the desk to wait for a computer to open up. A computer opens up.

I spent the Next. Fifteen. Minutes. Wrestling with the horrible, glitchy, outdated version of excel on the school desktop. I generate my sheets. They look near IDENTICAL to my ones from sheets. Literally, just the font is different, and it printed with an extra border on the paper.

I print them and show them to the teacher.

"Perfect!" She declares of my identical-to-google-sheets graphs.

Yep.

Although mostly it's because my schedule is busy and I don't really have time to do fancy food nonsense unless I have a planned time/day to make a family dinner.

Anyone else pretty much only bother to put any work into food when you're also making it for at least one other person
