    No, actually you still don’t get it.
    your mild inconvenience of your card not working, does not compare to the dread of not knowing if you will eat today, and by the way, the cashier KNOWS if your card is not working or the payment is rejected. so, you can add that shame to the experience.

    Lesson here: you’re not actually smarter than the person you replied to, just more ignorant of other peoples lives.




  • If you wouldn’t interrupt a stranger at a party to announce that America is doomed, don’t do it here.

    I would totally tell that to a stranger at a party, if he talks about the next election. You are technically correct though. There will be “elections” just not free, equal, democratic ones.

    Let me ask one question: Do you expect there to be ICE officers at voting locations?
    that answer alone constitutes the difference between free elections and a something you would expect in russia.




  • If you don’t care for it, don’t let people make you watch it.
    No one (sane) will go “Oh! you have to go to this 4 hour 17th century italian Opera with me! You will love it!” .

    You don’t “have to” value any kind of art. If you don’t, you don’t. That said, it might be worth trying at least once, you never know if you find something that stays with you.
