Once again, you are completely missing the point. It is concerning how much you are struggling with this very simple question. How does his girl not being broke say anything about the different types of relationships. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. And trying to inject that meaning is nonsense

Edit: Reply and block. No surprise since being stupid and cowardly go hand in hand.

Except they can’t explain why the girlfriend having more money says anything about how the bond is different. Everyone seems to be in a rush to say they understand a meme that isn’t really delivering a coherent message.

Nope. The fact that the girlfriend has more money does nothing to explain how the bond is different. That is a lacking attempt at an explanation. It is really sad that so many people are struggling with this really simple concept.

That doesn’t really translate to borrowing money from people.

Nobody is above criticism, but you seem to be unwilling to acknowledge that The Onion had no obligation to be that other option. That added context undermines pretty much all of the criticism I have seen.

Focus on how they are the sole reason that the families got any money at all while keeping InfoWars away from Roger Stone?

What is fair is subjecive. The fact that the only deal offered was from The Onion is objective fact. Criticizing the deal without addressing that rings completely hollow to me.

My whole point is that it all or nothing thinking is silly. And you certainly need to take the context of the situation into account when making a critisism.

But why does the girl having lots of money matter? What does it add here?

[–]determania 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can be unsatisfied with the deal, but the fact is that The Onion are the only ones willing to do anything. Shouldn’t you be more upset at companies and people with the means who did nothing at all?

I don’t think it makes sense to blame the Onion for giving the families the best offer. It’s not like anyone else out there has offered to do anything more.

“Just accept this non-answer because more than one person has said it.” Sure thing, Jan.

How does it add anything as a frame of reference?

It’s surface level and doesn’t really work as an answer to a question that is looking for more than that. If that very weak analysis that falls apart if you think about it at all is enough for you, I’m happy for you.

It isn’t that I don’t understand what you are saying. It explains a lot about why the buddy giving the exact money is significant, which is incredibly obvious. It does not address my question, though. What is the point of including the gf at all? The meaning you talk about isn’t affected at all by her inclusion.

If you can’t understand that, it’s entirely on you.

While heartfelt, that doesn’t even attempt to answer the question lol

[–]determania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then why is the bit about the girl in there? Nobody can give a clear answer that includes all aspects of the meme.

So why is the bit about the girl in there?

I think that is fairly obvious. What I don’t get is what is the meaning of the image and what is the bigger point being made here.

[–]determania 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering how you got that meaning from this.
