    Details definitely aren’t careful or many.

    Careful, sure. Many is relative. These are infinitely more detailed than a plate with no decorative pattern. Even with that being said, “careful” is also relative to a bull in a porcelain shop.

    They’re not special, important, or very large by any objective metric.

    Which is why it’s subjective. Important is relative to the person. They sure seem important to OP.

    Decorative: Serving to decorate especially : purely ornamental You could use them as a decoration but it’s definitely not their purpose, and them saying that they never broke implies that they were using them.

    If you take “fancy” to mean “purely ornamental”, then sure. Personally, I would never, and it seems OP agrees.
    Even so, if someone is REALLY into bees, I could see them hanging these on their wall. Subjective.

    It’s not about being better, it’s about being fancy.

    The argument was that “expensive” and “fancy” are unrelated.

    Maybe, but we don’t know how often they were used or even how they were used. And while I’ve never seen these particular plates in person, I’ve know plenty of plates like them where the printed design will quickly chip of or fade which speaks of poor quality.

    The same logic applies the other way as well. Since we don’t know, they could be the sturdiest plates on the planet.

    Something being more elaborate than something else doesn’t mean that it’s something any reasonable person would call elaborate itself

    I highlighted the part where you yourself say it’s subjective.

    Don’t take my arguing to heart I’m just doing it to be contrary at this point

    Isn’t that the point of all internet arguments? We’re all the true nobodies fighting over nothing.

    it says not plain it says “ornamental.” And while I’m sure there are some people who might use children’s bee plates as an ornament, I can’t imagine that there is very many.

    Personal taste, as you basically say yourself.

    But beyond all that fancy also means elaborate, which they’re not.

    Personal taste. Compared to a plain plate with nothing on it, these are undeniably elaborate.

    impressive

    Entirely subjective

    of particular excellence

    This one is the only one where you potentially have a point, since the plates probably are mass produced

    decorative

    See ornamental.

    expensive

    Expensive has never, nor will it ever, mean that the product 100% of the time is better.

    high quality

    They never broke.

    EDIT: And even so, the other definitions don’t really matter, as which one you’d interpret the girlfriend to mean is entirely subjective. If he understood it as the one I posted, the others don’t matter.

    Except:

    1. Most of them are bundled terribly, forcing you to use flatseal or similar to make it work - way to much to do and understand for the average user
    2. Roughly half of all the programs I install are flatpaks, and the other half are appimages. They both largely work the same, but the fact that there’s a difference will be crippling to the average user. Especially if you ask them to choose between one or the other
    3. Believe it or not, a lot of people are not comfortable with the app store mentality flatpak seems built around. Googling “chrome download” is far more ingrained in the average person. Aside from browsers and projects of similar scope, this is difficult to achieve on linux

    Can 800 year old grandma Doris use the feature? Can the average person who writes comments on YouTube videos? Minion meme posting facebook aunts? If not, it’s not ready for mainstream.
