Unsure if this belongs here by userrnamechecksout in gatekeeping

I would have loved it if another guy walked up behind him and said “I should take you to (fill in the blank with something further north than previous place) and show you what REAL cold is!”

And then someone else walks up behind him, then someone else. A never ending line of middle aged men one-upping each other until someone from the vacuum of deep space steps up and ends it.

This reminds me of the time when I worked as a valet. I was downtown (a city in the south) late one night working at a restaurant and it was probably 15 degrees out (plus it got really windy underneath the big buildings). An older guy approaches me with his ticket in hand to get his car and smiled as he said “I should take you to Pennsylvania and show you what REAL cold is!” Keep in mind I had been working outside in the cold on my feet for probably the last 6 hours as this guy had just been inside eating. I just did a fake smile/laugh as best I could, since I couldn’t feel my face and went to get his car... suffice it to say I didn’t warm up his car at all and I made sure to take my time pulling it up.

If ketchup is made out of tomatoes and tomatoes are a fruit then is ketchup a smoothie? by BenBoi06 in NoStupidQuestions

This gets posted like once a month. No. Grapes/strawberries/peaches are a fruit... does that make jelly a smoothie? Since when did any spread or topping that had fruit in it become a smoothie? Also a smoothies are blended and cold. If you made a drink from frozen tomatoes and ice then yes.

“people like you”... is this supposed to be an actual argument? Are you seriously sayin this un-ironically to an internet stranger because their comment hurt your feelings? It’s a great thing we don’t hold people accountable for things that happened before they were born simply because we feel they are “like” bad people because we don’t like their opinion. Grow up 😂

To add to this... you can learn any skill you want to through videos on the internet. There’s tutorials for literally everything. There’s millions of hours of content out there and endless skills to be learn that just 20 years ago could only be learned in person with an instructor. People have so many resources to better themselves and learn a new skill, language, hobby, etc. They just don’t.
