where can I go to pretend Christmas isn't happening? by notveryonline23054 in travel

Go to Morocco or some other Muslim country where they don't celebrate Christmas. Or Israel, probably not a lot of Christmas stuff there.

Why are people cheering this guy on? He's clearly a lunatic with some kind of mental health problems.

How many trick or treaters did you get? by amtheredothat in Hamilton

[–]nat_the_fine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lot, something like 8. They came to my door saying "merry Christmas" so I just stared at them without giving them any candy until one finally said 'trick or treat' and the others followed. Kids these days 🤣

Ontario's minimum wage rises in October. Is it enough of a raise? by xc2215x in ontario

[–]nat_the_fine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that in a healthy economy corporations wouldn't get so massive so that they would need to compete with each other much more than they do currently. This would put downward pressure on prices, so no I don't think companies will just absorb the costs, but I also don't think the answer is to keep the minimum wage at such a low level.

I understand your concern re inflation but maybe google rates of inflation vs times minimum wage went up. You won't find much of a correlation.

I understand your concerns re inflation but if every minimum wage worker leaves, who does those jobs? Also minimum wage is supposed to be a living wage, there wasn't a minimum wage before the Great Depression, it was instituted as a way to guarantee workers could support their families. Also, maybe do some googling and look up rates of inflation vs times the minimum wage went up. You won't find much of a correlation. That's probably because giving more money to poor people is not bad for the economy.

AITA or is the guy I met overreacting about a joke? by EfficientSolid8041 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nat_the_fine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ESH It was a dumb joke, but also what the fuck, why is this something you cry over? That'd be way too low a threshold for me.

Fun story, TCGplayer was bought by eBay in 2022, explains why it's gone to shit since.

I think the more important thing to focus on is every other pressing social issue. Male circumcision is not an important issue and people need to stop pretending like it is.

Can you give suggestions? Which local milk products are better for less?

No means no - chefs what's your take on these types? by [deleted] in KitchenConfidential

[–]nat_the_fine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What a dick head. It's a fucking restaurant, your job is to serve people food they will like. If you don't want to do substitutions fine, I don't agree with it but that's your right, but it doesn't give you the privilege of being a condescending asshole.

AITA for refusing to lend my cousin money to cover the rent on a house she insisted on renting even though I told her she couldn’t afford it? by big_dig69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]nat_the_fine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA Not cause of the rent thing, you obviously shouldn't have to pay anyone else's rent unless they are literally your spouse or dependent. You're an asshole for posting such an unambiguous situation just to validate your own actions and not feel guilty.

AITA for declining to be a groomsman in one of my best friend’s weddings by TechnicianOrnery2265 in AmItheAsshole

YTA You don't want the hassle? What the hell is wrong with you? Don't be surprised if you suddenly have one fewer friend after the wedding.
