#While failing to account for the fact that not everyone has access to that toolset

Dunno what kinda of Microwave that you're using that lets you manually set the power, but none of the last five I've owned have had that option. (That reads more skeptical than I intend it to, I do know microwaves with the options exist)
The one I currently have only lets me set the time by way off adding 30 seconds to the timer (which is a pisser if I want to microwave anything for more than 3 minutes) It's not going to trust me with the ability to change the power level.
Or to continue the Metaphor;
Sure, If I Simply took my time to do my necromantic perversion of the natural order I Could limit the potential for undesirable Outcomes, But Some of Us don't have a Chilled Basement with Marble slabs and a laboratory with a Tesla Coil already set up ready to accept the cadaver that's been legally remanded into our custody. Some of us are hunched in a Borrowed Spare Room waving a Tv Antenna out the window during a thunderstorm while racing both decomposition and the Manhunt on for a Corpse-thief
"came back wrong" but it's food that you heated up in the microwave
#There's another Metaphor here too#but since it's for Systemic Injustice#which is less fun#I'm going to leave it in the tags in order to not derail#and also not make it look like I am accusing abalidoth of perpetrating it#rather than just riffing in a direction as it occured to me#I Do Not Think That Microwave Privilege is a thing that is a thing or that needs to be a thing#But saying 'I don't get what people are complaining about it's a simple fix so not doing it is your fault'#While failing to account for the fact that not everyone has access to that toolset#It's something I've personally heard directed at me about my disabilities#'If You Just Do X everything will be so much better!' yes thank you I have tried to do X and simply cannot thank you#'well clearly you're just lazy then'
