  • Their circle of friends may not be like yours.

    I know plenty of people like what you are describing (always near at least one phone), but they are still impossible to reach quickly. Even when they expect a call, they can have their phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Or they ran out of battery, and didn’t think to turn it on after plugging it in. Most of the time I have no idea what the issue is.

    Also, he might live in an area with few options. Specially on short notice. Maybe the closest alternative with a somewhat similar style is far away, so even if you can get a reservation , not everybody will be able to get there before dinner time.

    Basically, when he says it’s hard for him, maybe just trust that he knows his life better than you do.









  • When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.

    I’ve lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.

    We have nothing compared to fx. London.

    Where did you see cameras?

    Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.

    That’s not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.




  • So $10 plus a $3 tip is “paying extra” to you people

    Yes. The price is 10. I pay 13. That’s 3 more. Simple math.

    you’re gonna happily pay the same shitty owner $15 "and no more

    That’s a straw man argument. I probably won’t support a shitty owner at any price.

    What I want is to know the price up front, without checking for loopholes, adding tips and whatever. I don’t care how simple the math is, or how much I love math or how good I am at calculating in my head, or how big the impact is to my personal economy.

    I see a price, I either pay it or I don’t. There’s a reason that anything else is literally illegal where I live.

    You’re welcome to have your opinion, this is mine.

    Again, I don’t mind tipping if I actually get extra. I’m a big tipper, if I get more than I’m paying for.

    just licking some capitalist footwear under the guise of a kind of false consumerism

    Wow, that’s American level defense of capitalism. Where I’m from, we pay a lot more attention to consumer rights and employee rights.
