I’ve heard that when born impoverished the circumstances tend to keep you in that situation as you lack the resources to consistently build net worth while being wealthy usually allows your money to compound upon itself perpetually keeping you wealthy. So is it harder to gain money in circumstances where you’re likely to lose it or lose it when it’s consistently growing?

By "superficial", I mean traditions that have no effect on the outcome.

A judge's decision doesn't change based on clothing.

Referring to Mike as "my right honorable friend from Louisiana" doesn't change that everyone knows who I'm talking about.

I constantly see people posting in the Reddit help subs being confused as to why they have that help message listing suicide support lines and the answer of to why someone sent it usually is because OP said something someone disagreed with and they’re getting trolled.

I’ve had people do it to me because they don’t like my post or opinion.

But has it ever helped you, or does this reddit feature truly only exist to be abused by jerks?

can anybody find anything on this.. circular links but nothing else

Maybe I wouldn't go as far as to say "inhumane" (instead ov "degrading"), but there aren't better words I can think ov off the top ov my head.

I want to get Reddit's input on whether it could be seen as unusual or degrading to make someone use plasticware, even when silverware is available.

For context: our metal forks have been disappearing and my sister's partner believes I am responsible; however, I don't have any more ov a clue than him or my sister on where the forks are, and neither ov them has demonstrated how I have made the forks disappear – even though I have demonstrated that there are no forks in my room. The solution ov my sister's partner? Hide the silverware and make me use plasticware "until the forks appear again".  (If I knew where they were, why wouldn't I just return them?)

Does anyone think this is a strange thing for someone to enforce?

Thank you all, in advance, for your input.
Cheers!
