This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

It will never not be funny to me the way that Google's AI search returns a result you don't want and didn't ask for in an incredibly surly tone. 'No, this [thing you did not ask for] never happened. Are you dumb?'

I felt on an adrenaline roll (?) so I’ve gone and added three more original paintings to my website, as originals to buy. I’m well aware most people can’t afford original paintings but if you like looking at my work on here, shares of these posts do help me. Thank you
