Desert island discs

[HairOfTheDog]

I know no one will ever convince you, as you seem very set in your ways to defend the choice of a dictionary on a deserted island (when there's zero chance you'll ever leave) but I'm with CN on this.

You'd choose a dictionary over a 'coffee table picture book' of loved ones, or pics from your life to have with you the rest of your days?

Interesting.

Try to keep up with us, MS.

I just explained why I would rather have the dictionary.

It's a matter of goals/preferences, priorities, and personality.

What possible reason would I have to try and change myself or be open to changing my choice in order to be aligned with you and CN, in a fictional scenario about what each INDIVIDUAL would choose? None, that defeats the whole purpose and I'm not looking to curry favor with anyone.

You don't get to have both the coffee table book and an album of personal photos, btw. You'd have to pick one. I still wouldn't pick either over the dictionary, for the reasons that I already explained clearly.

And, I still understand why you and CN would choose the picture book. Good choice, for you. I would see absolutely no point in trying to convince you to take the dictionary, as if this is a debate or there's a right or wrong answer. You take what you want, for your reasons. And, I'll take what I want for mine.

You have a hard time understanding and accepting the preferences of others when they conflict with yours; we already know that. In this case, it's just a book choice, MS. The end.
