I'm thinking of gifting myself a Nintendo Switch and getting my Sister a Kindle.

I'm lucky enough to earn a comfortable wage so I tend to buy things that I want throughout the year.

Many people in my position seem to only want things that unfortunately cannot be gifted. More hours in the day. Less suffering in the world. More time with loved ones. Less global disarray.

"more time with loved ones" is not a wish. It is a choice.

My dead friends and family would beg to differ with that 😅

Then it probably was a choice you didn't make then...

Lol wtf is this comment?? A person died and I wish I could spend time with them and your response is "well you probably chose not to spend time with them when they were alive."

That's a totally reasonable and measured response...

You are right, please accept my apology. That was a dumb thing to write.

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

i gotta say, this is seemingly a rare thing these days. That's not always easy and I appreciate you. Absolutely accept your apology and i hope you have a fantastic day!

The implication was that it was to spend more time with loved ones after it's already too late.
