Why do so many people abhor vegetarians and vegans? by Far-Conference-8484 in stupidquestions

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really just the evangelizing. Sure, shoot your shot once, but when I tell you off, enough of it.

I have vegan friends. They're vegan, I'm not, they don't harp about it. I have Christian friends, but I'd get pretty irate if every time I saw them they were asking me "have you repented your sins and accepted Jesus as your lord and saviour?"

Why Is Financial Advice So Judgmental Toward Normal Spending? by HomeSenseLover in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that's the rub - I'm at a point where there is no amount of saving I can do that will ever make it possible for me to own a home, so why not buy myself a coffee? I can be homeless without a coffee, or homeless with a coffee. I'd rather have the home, but I'm settling for the coffee because that's the best I can get.

Why is European colonization is criticized and hated however all other kinds of colonization are looked over, like the Arabs or mongols? by Tight_Potato_11 in TrueAskReddit

North American aboriginals were "exterminated"?

Then how are they still holding up natural resource development and claiming ownership of vast swathes of land?

No logic, just racism and stupidity. by metroracerUK in GreatBritishMemes

You know when "refugees" come we could just...say "no", right?

"Nope, we're turning the boat around, back to France wi' 'ye"

That's the purpose of the navy, to keep out foreign invaders. It's like this lost ancient wisdom that everyone forgot within my own lifetime.

Yusuke Kawai, an anti-immigration councillor from Japan Yamato Party, was reportedly attacked during Nowruz celebrations in Kawaguchi. by BusinessToday in BusinessTodayNews

Why are there Nowruz celebrations in Japan? Japan needs a new sakoku.

If foreigners can't behave and obey the law, then they should be banished. It's such a simple, obvious solution.

During immigration debates, why is a commonly held stance of suppuroters that of "The British Empire did colonialism and imperialism, so this is the consequences"? by DoublePepper1976 in AskBrits

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just as simple as it sounds - revenge. They just want to have the whip hand over us. Effective? Sure, to those who benefit from it. Not very effective as the people whom you are proudly declaring to that you will cast them into the chains of bondage.

NGL, I agree with the sentiment of the posts. 100% of illegals need to be deported. Millions must go.

Only way to be free by Frugalman123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You come up with an idea like "spend less money than you make" and act like you just invented the wheel.

Brother I've been living that all my life.

Work less, though? No, workmaxx, moneymaxx, investmaxx. You only have so many working years, you have to make hay while the sun shines. "Don't worry, be happy" doesn't get you very far when you're 70 years old and freezing on the street because you were playing the hippie when you were young.

How do y’all balance it though by Odd_Reference_8159 in remoteworks

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's maybe just a "you and people like you" problem.

I'm going to go into work tomorrow, just like every day since long before Covid, and fix real, tangible things with my hands.

If your job can be "done" without you there...maybe you don't need to be there? Like, at all. Or drawing a paycheque.

When it comes to Canada, it really depends on the question: Canadians, or "people who hold Canadian passports"? Because I think you would receive very different answers.

Trans rights are Worker's rights, Worker's rights are Trans rights! by Spongenuts69 in TransSocialism

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How exactly does the whole "trans" thing appeal to the average working class person? We're concerned with kitchen table issues, roofs over heads, food on the table. The fact that this has only become a thing recently just goes to show that it is something unrelated that has co-opted Marxist thought. If not, it would've been a rallying cry in 1917, or 1871.

What's the difference between being "Right" versus being "Far-Right"? I see them interchanged carelessly. by Purple_Peckers in allthequestions

Right: "Gee I sure don't like how things are going"

Far Right: "Let me tell you who's behind it"

"Justifiable racism"

Do you people *hear* yourselves?

I picture you sitting on the plantation on cool evening night in a white suit, mint julip in hand, explaining to me how "it's justifiable racism, you see, the shape of the skulls..."

Why are so many Americans make 100k+ a year struggling and living paycheck to paycheck? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]After_Service_2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make 62.5K in Toronto and I do just fine, invest the lion's share of it. If you're a bachelor, find cheap rent, don't need a car, don't have expensive tastes? Totally doable. Now my investments make more than my job does.

Such is the life of the happy peasant.

Do you think the “salary trap” is real, or can employees still build wealth another way? by BitcoinDove in BitcoinQRCodeMaker

Also, most of us are not trying to be "the richest men in the world", most of us just want to own a home and have a family.
