- jalgos_eminator 8y agoYes. Is that so hard to fathom? I think it is the excess of it that gets me, like people paying for fancy bottled water in places that have very good tap water. Yeah, they derive pleasure from that "fancy" water, but it disgusts me nonetheless that they would waste their money on that.
- tcbawo 8y agoFor some people, it's probably a happy reminder of a time of growth, anticipating a new chapter in their lives.

To me that's the ideal of civilization, where people don't have to worry (much) about the day to day, and can spend their social credit on the things they love and derive pleasure from. Whether that's drinking a coffee with their friends or family, visiting the movie theatre, or looking at pictures of their home under construction.
