If the weather is too shitty to bike, why would I want to put a delivery driver in those conditions.
I mean, I really don’t want to bike in the rain, but that’s no big deal for someone in a car, lol.

The fact that even with the fees charged to the restaurant and to the customer, the majority of these apps still aren’t even profitable, lol.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 1 week ago:
Yes. Those people consider things like this part of the “cost of living”, not the luxury that it is.
On average, people have more of an issue overspending than they do underearning. That’s why even among people making six figures, 1 in 4 of them live “paycheck to paycheck”, which people assume to mean ‘barely make enough to make ends meet’, but what more commonly means ‘deliberately chooses not to save/spends every dollar earned’.

Where with all the animals if all went vegan now?
Why are the vegans sounding more like cavemen than the meat-eaters?

Relax, doomer. Or don’t and visit one of the thousand threads where serious discussion is happening instead.

$10k would definitely not make me stop caring about whether I lose my job, lol.

An asset appreciating in value does not deprive anyone else of money in their wallet.
If you bought a rookie baseball card for $5, the player had a great year and now the card’s worth $100, your net worth increased by $95. But who is down $95 as a result of your card becoming more valuable?
Nobody. Wealth is not zero sum.
Also, wealth in the form of purchased investments into businesses that run within the economy, is literally the opposite of hoarding. If you buy things with your money, you’re not hoarding your money.
- Comment on Feelin free 3 weeks ago:
Even if you could wave a magic wand and magically convert all that net worth straight across into that amount of cold hard cash, it wouldn’t pay for a measly $10k UBI for all working-age Americans for more than two years.
Then what’s the plan? That 10k costs over $2 trillion.

Let them know that they changed the term to “climate change” so that stupid people would understand that the Earth getting hotter on average will make some places colder, because ice that used to be staying put, will now melt into water, which will flow into places where there wasn’t water before.
That’s about as dumbed down an explanation as is possible, I think, lol.

Isn’t that just roleplay, though? Don’t know much about 40k, but I imagine someone’s got to be the bad guys, right?
- Comment on It's a good group! 3 weeks ago:
Non-Nazis will say, "What?
This is also ‘getting confused’, to be fair, lol.
I get the impression that even those agreeing with the Nazi-like stuff are not literally self-identifying as “Nazi”, so I think you’ll get that initial “huh” reaction regardless.
Might be better to ask a more specific telltale question.

It’s probably people who think no matter what, every single life is precious and should be preserved.
I doubt it’s that, simply because the OP is not talking about doing anything to anyone in the real world.
- Comment on Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all? 4 weeks ago:
This type of ‘anger management’ is unhealthy and doesn’t even help, short or long term. ‘Blowing off steam’ literally does the opposite of what most people believe it does.

I feel like the Nazi angle range is a bit too wide, lol. Look at the top end of the red, that’s definitely still in the range of calling a waiter or flagging down a cab.

Doesn’t make sense to compare a rate of an outcome (without even knowing how often that outcome was sought) with an individual attempt whose outcome is not even known yet.
When Mangione IS actually given the death penalty, this ‘argument’ will actually amount to something. Dumb until then.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 2 months ago:
It’s exactly as long as it needed to be to explain everything it explained, and it is a completely dry comment with no real tone at all, the “rudeness” is of your own invention.
Ironically, “Firstly you could read user names before going off” is by far ruder than anything I wrote. Also, you’re assuming I’m the one who downvoted you–have you considered that maybe your tone earned that from someone else, maybe?
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 2 months ago:
But it has to be for something. And in Balatro, there simply isn’t any gambling. You never wager anything to win anything based on that wager. All you have are points, and you can neither wager them, nor lose them in any way, chance-based or otherwise.
There is zero gambling in Balatro.
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 2 months ago:
Minor correction, the three stages in an “ante” are the “blinds”. The game instead uses “stake” to describe its ‘ascension’ system (where going to a higher stake adds difficulty modifiers to the game, for those who don’t know what I mean by that).
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 2 months ago:
Going off? Yeah, you asked a question, and I answered it. What are you talking about?
- Comment on PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery 2 months ago:
A game just has to show characters gambling for it to be gambling imagery.
Okay. Well, Balatro doesn’t do that–no gambling of any kind happens in the game.
So, what’s your point, exactly?
