  • That’s what kills me about people who rag on Americans.

    We order our dates the way we say them, and we use a temperature system is a great way to describe feeling heat.

    I’ve got no defense for imperial measurements beyond scooping up a cup of flour is easier than dumping it on a scale.

    But people spend more energy shitting on the cultural norms of Americans than anyone else (especially Europeans) and then spend a lot of time telling us we have no culture.






  • You entirely missed the point of this picture.

    This picture isn’t about breaking Steve’s fingers so you can both play shitty guitar. It’s about making sure you can both access a guitar and lessons to learn.

    The equality picture would be shoving a guitar in each of your hands and a coupon for lessons, while failing to address that you live 2 hours away from the teacher while he lives next door.

    Eta: equity would be providing you with a free buss ride to the teachers house 2 hours away. This gives you all the tools to get guitar lessons, but, you might not be able to take advantage of this because a 5 hour commitment isn’t the same as a 1 hour 5 minute commitment and you lose out on opportunity cost. You get free guitar lessons and a ride, but the system is broken. Justice is fixing the system so that there’s enough guitar teachers within a reasonable distance. Like say, making sure that no one is more than 20 minutes from a guitar teacher.



  • No, there’s a free version. With about 1/100, the ads the official Reddit app has.

    I wouldn’t demand a haircut for free, or commission a painting for free, or ask someone to a fancy restaurant, then demand we go Dutch.

    Sync has a developer who I chose to compensate for their work. I would’ve done the same for connect. I would like people to get compensated for the work they do. It’s great to get something for free, but I am not entitled to their free labor.

    But somethings are worth paying for.
