I’d like to think you were just going for a zinger and aren’t serious. But if you would like, I could explain what was going on in my previous comment.

To be fair, I don’t think the “average person” is to blame. Some people are just more sheltered or “eyes-closed” than others.

Linux is a great example, thank you.

Well, I kinda get it. We can tell kids how babies are made, but we don’t have to go into certain details or say “Sorry Timmy, Mommy and Daddy are going to go try to make a baby sibling for you now!”

There’s also the perspective that we should value animal lives and appreciate that we are choosing to sacrifice them for our privilege of enjoying their meat.

But yeah, this is pretty silly “outrage”.

You say this with certainty, so you’ve got me curious. Could you show me some successful international non-profits that reject Capitalism?

We live in a Capitalist world, and like it or not, those CEOs know how to make companies thrive in it.

That’s the idea, at least.

Came here to say the same. Great otherwise, but the perfect food when high. Or drunk.

“Quick! A giant meteor is heading for our planet! Collision is expected in less than a week!”

…but if I sleep 7 times while doing all this level grinding and doing sidequests, nothing goes wrong…

Thank you! Interesting and helpful.

Interesting point about cameras. Why doesn’t the footage usually help?

Pretty advanced! Before it was modern, it wasn’t quite as advanced

Astronomers are excellent at math, afterall!

Dad jokes? I’m no humourologist, but if this isn’t dad jokes, they are probably related to each other somehow.

LOL! Typo. I do 60-20-20.

But I do get pension matching to the tune of nearly 10%, so arguably I am saving nearly 30% instead of 20! Haha

I get where you’re coming from, but the X in Xmas means “cross”, as in the cross that Jesus died on.

I don’t celebrate the Christ part of Christmas, so I’m not trying to make it about that. Just sharing this bit of knowledge (that I could very well be mistaken about! Haha)

I do a lot of budgeting, and I use the “pool” method.

A lot of people recommend the 50-30-20 rule: 50% of your money goes to fixed expenses, 30% goes to discretionary spending, and 20% to savings.

I tweaked that a bit and made it 60-20-20*, with the 60% being for essentials…things like clothing is included.

That 20% goes towards any guilt-free spending. I’ve covered everything I need, and this is money I’m allowed to spend on whatever I want…guilt-free.

EDIT: I accidentally said 60-20-30 instead of 60-20-20.

I’m actually starting to wonder if they’ve got a bot going on their account now. It just seems to be giving generic “angry internet replies” to every comment that replies to it, now

I’m sorry that this is how you’re choosing to spend your Christmas. Or your Boxing Day as the case may be.

If you don’t celebrate those, I’m still sorry that you’re choosing to spend your time this way.

You don’t need to know cultural trivia to become a citizen. Especially not all of it. But when a person is living somewhere (which you don’t need to be a citizen to do), that person tends to be exposed to the culture.

As well, this could just be someone familiar with the culture who missed a pun because they’re thinking about work.

I’m not sure what caused you to get so worked up about this. The joke is perfectly reasonable to make, and there’s the chance that the Dasher learned a bit of cultural trivia thanks to this joke. Or they learned that they missed a pun and may get to have a laugh about it in hindsight. There’s no harm or foul here.

Yeah, I just meant the recipient was making a cultural reference. The comment that I replied to complained about a white person making a comment specific to their own culture. Ironically, the person who wrote that comment was arguably being more culturally insensitive by assuming that the DoorDasher wouldn’t understand a cultural reference
