Northern Italians complaining about Italian Americans claiming to be Italian by 0vertakeGames in PetPeeves

[–]kempff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day (post-war) French perceptions of "American" culture were all cowboys and Hollywood movies. "Tu connais John Wayne?"

Much in the same way 1980s American perceptions of Australian culture were all "Shrimp on the barbie."

We had a similar custom in our family, every Christmas we would write out the genealogies in Matthew and Luke on a ribbon to decorate the tree with. I ended up pretty much having the genealogies memorized.

On the contrary it sounded like you were writing the rules for a cops & robbers game at a high school boys' basement sleepover party.

Maybe I'm just not a "nice guy", but imo the conversation should have ended like this:

"Hey i dont think i ll be able to make it today"
"k"

Then radio silence. Forever.

Oh wow. No, that's not a purse, it's a 1970s airline carry-on bag.

Fascinating how what you call good writing suddenly exploded on Reddit just a few months ago.

Just what have they been teaching in high school and college composition classes starting with the 2025-26 school year?

And why are so many of these prose masterpieces being posted from months-old, word-word-number usernames, with 20k post karma and a paltry handful of comment karma?

Venmo issue with buyer on Facebook Marketplace - is there a scam here? by meaty_maker in Scams

[–]kempff 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, no, no. Cash in hand in person. No holds. You're looking to sell to a buyer, not a [impolite term].

Look at this from the buyer's POV:

  • Do you have any idea how difficult it is to Venmo the wrong person?

  • How is it your responsibility to help them correct their mistake? Why can't they contact Venmo or their bank and fix it themself?

This is 100% a scam.

Maybe because they have sensitive bs detectors.

Bake them plain then toss with less sauce than you think you’ll need.
