The perfect solution fallacy is an informal fallacy that occurs when an argument assumes that a perfect solution exists or that a solution should be rejected because some part of the problem would still exist after it were implemented. This is an example of black and white thinking, in which a person fails to see the complex interplay between multiple component elements of a situation or problem, and, as a result, reduces complex problems to a pair of binary extremes.

If you're only going to post once a month, please don't ruin my Fridays. I'm not sure I could ever handle the loss of a child. It's unthinkable.

Well, at least you're not posting a bunch of political crap so I guess I can give you a pass.

 

[JuleZ '02 HEEL]

I'm done with posting anything political on this board. Lost cause and no fun. I try to avoid even reading any of it but some of y'all make even that difficult. Random pics, weird news and silly tweets it is.

They didn't mention that he will also have a separate, smaller, boat that follows this one for the sole purpose of landing a helicopter. It's apparently too dangerous to land on the main boat because of the mast. That's a true story.

Jeff Bezos' superyacht is so big it needs its own yacht

Today in ultra-billionaire news, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has purchased a modest 100-foot schooner as he looks forward to a quieter life and hours of reflection on the open seas ... LOL, just kidding.

School picture day on St. Patrick's Day: What could go wrong? Apparently, the photos

The pictures were shot in front of a green screen background, and since it was St. Patrick's Day, many of the students wore green. Then this was the final product.

I hate automatic trunks... the kind where you struggle to find a button, then wait 4 seconds as it closes. Same as your trying to open it. Just let me slam it down so i can go about my biz.

I also hate the way auto-controls have moved to menus on a screen rather than physical buttons. Anyway, so this freaked me out doubly

I'd pay more for a few old features. When shopping for a used car a few years ago we intentionally went 2016 over 2017 due to the trunk thing. It makes keeping a dog in the back way harder.

Give me bird's-eye backup cam, heated steering wheel and keyless entry but keep all the other crap. I'd rather crank down windows manually than have to use a touch-screen to change the a/c.
