I had a discussion with a friend recently and during that discussion, one comment was "Fitted sheets are really both the best and the worst", of course referencing them as awesome when put on a mattress and the worst when you're trying to fold them.

What else do we have that would qualify for being awesome, but also the worst in a different context?

        I agree. But it still fits in the category. Can't beat being able to run errands at any time during the day or sleeping until midday the whole week. Too bad it comes with financial and psychological stress and anxiety

    Phones.

    Banking apps, podcasts, gps navigation, chatting to friends, listening to music are all awesome.

    But then getting stuck doomscrolling and constantly checking my phone trying to eke out a little more stimulation when literally anything else would be a more productive way to spend my day - that part sucks ass.

    Things with wireless power (small vacuum) are terrific and convenient until they run out of battery or stop holding a significant charge, at which point they become embarrassing

    A broom is always a broom

    So...sex on an SSRI.

    Pro: I can effortlessly last over an hour. Basically edging without trying.

    Con: It's simply impossible to finish sometimes and I just have to say it was good enough and stop. Or the mix of chemicals in my brain just don't let me start for whatever reason. The times I can finish, I have to take over and go extra intense on myself to peak the mountain. If my partner tries, they can't get me there.
