    My paternal grandparents were so not like this. Even though they grew up in a post WW II Germany. I think they realized, either consciously or subconsciously “hey, this kid grows up in a world where there’s enough food, they do not need to worry. If they want to play with it or waste some of it, it’s a privilege and we are happy for them”

    I had a dirt-poor phase in my early adulthood, there was a time where I only ate whatever could be scavenged on my dumpster diving tours + cheap pasta. I try to handle it like my grandparents and be empathetic and understanding towards friends who leave leftovers on their plate or have a, ehm, laid-back approach of handling food that tends to spoil easily. Deep down it hurts me so much to see it though.

      You should have your finger on a trigger when you’re ready to shoot. Leave those stupid rules to posh Americans posing with guns thinking that makes them cool :)
