   It is a weird feeling when you realize you're an adult with money, and you can just buy packs of your favorite pens and throw away the ones you don't like, or the ones that only kinda sorta work, or the mostly dead ones you have to scribble a bunch to get them to work. You don't HAVE to just use random free ballpoint pens for forever

     @JessTheUnstill Rather than throwing away, you can donate a box of all the ones you don't want to a local school. Teachers will love you for it.

     @dalias If they still work okay, sure. But if they're the kind that are half empty and don't work well, I wouldn't want them to have to deal with them.

     @JessTheUnstill I meant the ones you just don't like, not the ones that don't work. Yes, just throw away the ones that don't work. Don't keep them in drawers and bags and boxes and ... 😳
