  • You're reply is disingenuous in the extreme, because nobody is this subtext illeteriate.

    His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

    He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It's like the "taxation is theft" people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

    I didn't say he should be grateful

    You absolutely said he should be grateful for his job, you just didn't use those words. You mocked him for complaining about his job. Those two things are a distinction without meaning difference.
    \ This messaging is all over the media. If you're trying to say it isn't then you're either lying or you're tragically media illeteriate.

    You think that's the problem here

    You're the one complaining about his mental health.
    \ But no you're right, it's people like me online in 2025 who affected the mental health of the author of the [checks notes] 1975 book, causing him to use [gasp in horror] a literary flourish. Great job there, detective, you cracked the case!
    \ Thank god you didn't embarrass yourself at all!

  • They showed us a video like

    Acid makes you see sounds and taste colors, and isn't addictive... But don't do it!

    Before the video I absolutely had no desire to try acid, and after the video all I could think was like "what does a color taste like?!?!"

  • Y'all are missing the forrest for the trees

    God forbid someone add a bit of literary sugar to their argument, else they be picked apart by pedants.

    Your company is successful, is that a problem? You're getting paid too, right?

    Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

    Who's asking/telling you how to feel about it?

    The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

    Dude needs therapy

    Too bad it's unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society

  • Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

    just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn't practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend 💀. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it's not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

    Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

    But I don't like 73, it's not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn't fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.
    \ I want to have like... A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).
    \ And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.
    \ So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences

  • Ok, but now subdivide the 73 day month-analogs into week-analogs.

    I can see calling the month analogs "seasons", but 73 is a prime number so you're boned. We need subdivisions smaller than that for practical purposes
