Parents are kicking me out because they heard me call them both treat goblins. How do I sue Matthew Christman for turning me into this? (hexbear.net)

In theory it's supposed to just distinguish between necessities and non-necessities and trivialize non-necessities, but without condemning them. Treats are good. Everybody likes having treats. But they are just treats and we could live without them if we had to. But that nuance is often lost in favor of "treats bad."

    That's how I see it, too.

    It sometimes gets caught up in "criticizing treat bad, treat critic bad" too.
