I don't really get your complaint in the last paragraph. How are you losing money on transactions?
If people find credit cards more convenient then that is great, but others shouldn't have to pay for their preferences.
It sounds like you're saying that people who don't use credits cards are somehow subsidizing those who do. I've never heard of that before and it sounds wrong to me. Merchants are usually the ones who pay transaction fees, not customers.
So not at all based in science? Interesting as a historical curiosity but nothing more?
And have seeds in them.
there is no point in doing it yourself from scratch.
Learning. The point is to learn.
You don't have to learn everything that way, but you understand things a lot better when you've built them from scratch, and that underlying foundation enhances the entire knowledge stack.
People can down vote you, but they can't argue with this.
You must be the only pickup driver in existence that's figured out that all your pathetic justifications can be debated, but your opinion on what you want cannot be.
I would get one if they weren't all right hand drive :(
People don't have anywhere near enough knowledge of how things work to make their choices based on trust. People aren't getting on the subway because they trust the engineers did a good job; they're doing it because it's what they can afford and they need to get to work.
Similarly, people aren't using Reddit or Adobe or choosing their cars firmware based on trust. People choose what is affordable and convenient.
Compared to the standards for organic in civilized countries, that's basically nothing.
Of course it's not worthless, but a lot of people seem convinced that because they and their friends are voting a certain way then whole election just has to swing their way.
That's why it says "lol you're finished!" as if he's actually done something to him directly, instead of saying "I did my civic duty, hopefully my side wins."
Yeah I mean it wasn't 200 years ago that women stayed at home and provided huge amounts of value to the family. All that real-life value is being ignored so that we can ask why they weren't working for someone else instead?
What the fuck.
No, this is how it works for large wealthy powerful people who can afford to pay off all the real estate agents to act in their favor, or lobby for zoning changes immediately after opening their business and demand grandfathering status, or even just buy all the surrounding real estate so no one else can.
This is not how it works for a mom and pop shop. They have no power to make such demands.
Don't let other people hold you back.
If you're trying to start a new hobby and you get put off by people giving you information because you think they're being condescending, learn to put aside the personal feelings so you can focus on the thing you wanted to focus on.
New information is useful regardless of how it was presented to you. You can't control how other people act, but you can control how you react to it. Learn to take the good and leave the bad.
