I have been to art school, studied graphic design and graphic technologies. Color theory was a required class, so I know what I’m talking about. I had several arguments with my exhusband as to what white to buy to paint the trim inside the house. To me, being told to just go buy white paint is as stupid as telling someone to just buy yellow to paint Pikachu.

I love deciding the differences between colors, as it can really transform how anything looks. For example, I mix chalk colors to make different shades of green or orange or indigo or purple. It’s really annoying to be told a basic color. Umm, excuse me, there are so many different shades of this one color!

The concepts of monetary inflation and modern monetary theory, and the cause and effects of inflation. How can so many believe that if the government just gave everyone $1 million dollars we all could afford to eat then, and buy a house, and everything will be ok... Just pains me. Especially after seeing the covid money just given to everyone w***y nilly. Basically IMO just proved that UBI, isn't a long term solution (inflation will make the UBI worthless in no time at all), and that we really need to keep searching for cheaper, more efficient ways to make food (etc) if we are to aim for less starvation and more equality. Point the money where it matters, not splatter shooting it all over, is most likely to have the best results. The argument is useless though since so many people think money will fix their problems, in the middle-to-long-run it will not. The solutions will not come from governments directly, but instead it will come from capitalists and scientists. At least if history has anything to say about the future.

I once had an argument (with my sister) about how she couldn’t say get out to me in the hallway that we shared. Soon after she changed the topic of the argument because she realized she was wrong about that. I also had an argument once with a friend when I was in grade school about whether my beads that I was using for my (successful mind you) earring selling business in school were actual gems. My mom was a jeweler so they were legit but she had a competing earring selling business against me that wasn’t as successful. We are good friends now. And that is past us. (Pikachu)

Oh, and I didn't think, that after your 40's you are no more interested in actual politics, because, you may very well. But, as I observed, after you reached your cca. half-life-time, you'll find better things more interesting, than stressing yourself about idiots elected for just 4 years. You are beginning to appreciate your only life.

Trying to convince my narcissistic mother over the sensibility of my career choice at 17 years old, knowing full well she didn't had a problem with the career itself, she had a problem with me. Whatever choice I made had to be wrong and she would always force me to do the opposite of what I wanted just to have power and control over me. I thought I could at least reason with her. She responded with a week of silent treatment (a week of pure blessing for me) followed by a huge tantrum. Then she turned around and acted like she had always supported my choice. I didn't care anymore, I was just glad I got my way.

In fifth grade with my friend over who is more mature. He has ADHD so he tends to act immature (not saying that’s what ADHD does he just gets hyper and acts immature sometimes) and I would keep bugging him saying I’m more mature. We eventually realized how dumb this was and stopped. And I realized how much I liked him especially with his quirks! Caring and fun like Pikachu!

But do your research. Cause I read it on the internet and it's a fact!! Plus, I barely graduated highschool, but I know more than Dr.s who've had years of advanced education. Oh, and education? It's merely indoctrination for the sheeples. Plus, I know someone who died from the jab. Well, they were hit by a car, but if they hadn't had the jab, they would have lived for sure. (I believe it was the jab that made them run into traffic) Also, they busted a pedophile ring with a 109 people, and two of them had worked for Disney. Therefore, Disney does nothing but employ groomers! And I can prove the earth is flat cause I had a friend who took a boat ride and disappeared cause he fell off the edge. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

Whether exploring space is a good idea and a good use of our Earthly resources. Blows my mind so many believe we should go extinct on this husk of a planet rather than save ourselves and as many other species from Earth as we can. But then trying to explain tipping points, and the escape velocity of a species vs sustainment of a massive population in a finite bubble... Oops, sorry, the one egg inside the one basket just cracked and it's too late now Pikachu!... Just don't look up!!!

If asexuality is a phase. For context, my neighbors are homophobic and as per my username, I’m ace. They somehow found out and while I was helping them with their garden they went on this lecture that asexuality is a phase and that I’ll get over myself when I find a nice man. I argued with them for almost 3 years about this until my family moved, but now that I’m thinking about it, it was a waste of time anyway. They will always be homophobic, no matter how hard I try or how nicely I explain to them the concept of asexuality.

I mean with the amount of scientific info available to everyone today, those who stay homophobic have likely made up their minds against all reason so yeah just ignoring them might be the best move. Where I come from, LGBT+ used to be considered a mental illness and then an social ill, but after a media campaign in the 2000s, a lot of people have come to understand it and let go of their prejudices. Old and young. Many parents were desperate when their kids came out but scientific information helped them move past it and embrace their children just as who they are. I'm glad to witness such huge changes. The whole process taught me that those who still choose to stay with their prejudices are really lost causes. Nothing we do can change it. Maybe we better let them be and just strengthen our solidarity to push back when they turn abusive.

Not sure if this counts, but it's the only one I can think of.

Last fall while I was out for a walk, I decided to stop in at this family own/run convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes. I'd been in the store before, but only once in a blue moon.

When it was my turn at the counter, I asked for the pack I wanted and the guy looked like he was sizing me up. Then he says, "Are you a cop?" I just kinda blinked and said, "No, not a cop. Why do you ask?" He replies, "I've never seen you in here before, you look like a cop."

For reference, I was wearing an old ratty sweater with sweat pants and sneakers. Hair in a ponytail, no makeup, etc.

He kept going on and on about how I had to be a cop because I was "new to him" in the store and that all of their tobacco taxes had been paid, he could show me the paperwork, etc. Needless to say, a line started to form behind me and everyone was listening in.

I had no idea what to do! I just kept saying, "I'm not a cop! I'm just here to buy a pack of smokes!"

I did manage to buy a pack and get out of there, but I still don't think the guy believed me for whatever reason.
