Why should I spend $10.99 plus tax for something I’m sure most everyone in my life already knows, does not acknowledge, nor cares about?
I’d rather spend it on booze or other things that could genuinely solve my problems.

For evil to triumph, all it takes is a good man to do nothing.
May I introduce you to Christians? Or how about the GOP? MAGA would like to also have a word. I could go on…
If you’re referring to the emoji-based name, I was not aware that was possible. I thought that was to mask the mod name.
And I disagree that the post doesn’t matter. Context is always important, but it fills in any gaps in the “point” trying to be made.
Right now I’m being asked to take your word for it simply based on a “because… i said so” mentality. That’s not good enough, and makes this post very biased.
Edit: found it. Just look for “against lemmy.world tos”. There’s a bunch, and they all read benign.
Which post and which mod? I’m confused.
It’s all in the wording. Everybody has problems (even those with no money). The saying is merely suggesting that having more money doesn’t fix all of your problems, but adds to them.
If you want fewer problems, live below your means (easier said than done these days).
Rich people tend to buy rich people things (e.g., Mercedes Benz, million $$$ houses, Gucci-level clothing, etc), so they also have rich people bills. They are buying things that are at or above their means.
There’s a saying that I live by: an elephant for a nickel is only a good deal if you need an elephant and have a nickel. It helps remind me to not impulse buy stuff that I don’t need, merely because I can afford it and it’s novel.

They are both bad people who got to where they’re at by exploiting people in one way or the other.
Aside of their nationality, how would you consider them different?
An if
statement with one condition is an if and only if statement. The moment you add a second (or more) condition (regardless of &&
or ||
), then it’s no longer if and only if.
Not sure what you’re trying to achieve with that else block, as it affects nothing.
Eh, they took their shot; missed their mark. I’m sure they’ll keep trying though. Only a matter of time. They’ve got all the time in the world. Their “customers”, not so much.
You could say they are a cut above the rest. Gotta stay sharp; fight tooth and nail for that top spot.
You saw an opening, and took it.
And for $14.99/mo you can watch it on Amazon Prime Video, with ads.
But you know what, I bet your folks would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I imagine your excitement was worth it for them.
No idea. I was going for how 1/3 = 0.3333…
, then 3/3 = 1 = 0.9999…

Great! Let ‘em have their animal fats/lard/tallow. They don’t trust medical doctors, so when their LDL goes through the roof… well, Darwinism will step in. Problem will self-correct in a generation or two.
In other words: FAFO.
Dunno about you, but I’m waiting.
