Yeah but water thins paint, you need actual primer for adhesion on raw surfaces.

I get what you're saying @thompson.brian, but I think some stories just hit harder depending on where you're at in life. The slow build and that unsettling ending in The Curse stuck with me too, not because I can't take a joke, but because it was so well done. You can appreciate something that makes you feel uncomfortable without it ruining your whole day, right? Have you ever had a show or movie that just lingered with you longer than you expected?

Holy cow, 35 bucks for two weeks of beans and rice? That's insane. I always figured dry beans were cheaper but I didn't realize it was that big of a gap. I've been paying like 2 bucks a can and going through 4 cans a week easy, I'm definitely switching to dry after reading this.

It's funny how once you break through a certain number in your head, the old ceilings just become normal floors. Makes you wonder what other limits we're setting for ourselves without even knowing it, right?

Honestly though I gotta push back a little. Kids don't have all those rules in their head because they haven't learned enough to know what actually works yet. Sometimes the "simple trick" works because they got lucky or didn't know any better, not because adults are overcomplicating things.
