When I post on Lemmy/Reddit/etc, it’s usually not to the OP, but for everyone else reading the same post later.
So if I’m saying something like, “if you’re struggling to pay for a $10 pizza, you could use the charity,” it’s not really for the OP, but for anyone in a similar situation who happens across the post, whether now or a year from now. Having a pocketful of change isn’t a “normal” thing for someone who is financially stable, and if that’s you (i.e. the point where a quarter matters), then you should accept the charity.
Even a greentext has a sliver of truth to it, and I’m interested in discussing that truth that may apply to others.
