Anyone else's relative need to have an opinion on everything? - Lemmy.World
I have a relative staying over right now and he has to have an opinion on…
everything. Examples: “That’s a nice watch… How much did you pay for it? That
much? That’s too much money”. “That meal looks good… You should add some cheese
to it” “What size is your bottle? Don’t you think it’s a bit large? it would be
better if it was smaller” “That would be better if they didn’t add sugar to it.
They put too much sugar in it.” Me: “There’s no added sugar”. “That would be
better if they didn’t add sugar to it.” LIKE BRO???
Why would you want to get married?

Why would you want to get married? - Lemmy.World
I’ve been in a stable relationship for a while now so naturally the idea of
being married to that person comes up. But I just can’t think of any argument in
favour of it. 1) The government is discussing equalising tax groups, so
unmarried individuals are no longer disadvantaged compared to married couples.
2) I engage in a contract with high risk. If I don’t get my legalese right, I
risk forfeiting a sizeable portion of my belongings when the contract comes to
an end. High risk should entail high reward but in fact I don’t see any reward.
3) Getting married changes nothing about the relationship. Until recently, the
government didn’t even recognise same sex marriages. So if a straight couple
gets married, should that make their relationship more valid because the
government decides to put a stamp of approval on theirs and not on a gay couple?
I hope not. I’ve tried putting myself in other roles to imagine why I would want
to get married. This is what I came up with: 1) I like labelling things and I
like the sound of the label “married” 2) I want a big party called “marriage
ceremony” that other people also understand as “marriage ceremony” (as opposed
to just any party) 3) I like the way married couples are portrayed in films and
books (Ignoring the fact that in real life, a lot of marriages are unhappy,
dysfunctional and draining until they end up in divorce).
Religion is like an investment - Lemmy.World
You are expected to sacrifice certain joys in life, to pay money and recruit new
members (at least your children). In return, you will see your return of
investment after you die. If you start to question whether it might be fake, you
must just believe a little harder. For what the friendly man tells you bears far
more weight than the conclusions you draw from what you see with your own eyes.
Good grief… I’m starting to understand why scammers are so successful.
