    Yeah, you could open with a feature on the budgeting app Mint perhaps, you know before it goes away at the end of this year.

      I’ll be honest. I don’t know much about finance except for trading stocks and options. The only advice I’ll give related to that is do your own research.

        I thought I made it really obvious, but I guess I’ll spell it out explicitly: @DeadlineX@lemm.ee was making a joke, telling you to diversify into covering other things also called mint, like the finance app this comment section is concerned with.

            I thought it was pretty funny. 🤷 It seems @Kazumara@feddit.de did as well. I was trying to keep within the context of the general thread where everyone is joking about mint being one thing or another. When the commenter before me said you should diversify, and you asked for suggestions, I thought it’d be an opportunity to suggest something else from the original thread.

            The thread is about Mint, the finance app owned by intuit. I found it an amazing callback, but they can’t all be winners!

              Generally when you have to put in that much effort to explain the joke. It was a bad joke. I don’t see comedians explaining their punchlines in three paragraphs.

                I’ve been pretty nice in this exchange. Your hostility is unnecessary. The fact is, you misread this entire thread. Everyone else understands the joke. The fact that you should be able to see that everyone else understands the joke, and yet have decided to come at me with your arms outstretched in insult should imply something to you.

                It wasn’t supposed to be a hilarious joke. It was a tongue in cheek reference to the entire point of where your comment thread came from. You misinterpreted something, and a joke was made. I played off that joke. You continued to misinterpret. Maybe take a minute for introspection and think about why you felt the need to talk shit immediately instead of trying to reason things out from someone else’s point of view.

                And I only used two paragraphs to explain to you a joke that was pretty self explanatory in my mind. So idk where the three came from. Again, your insults and snark are unnecessary and unappreciated.

                I guess different people like different types of jokes. It’s ok for you to not like this particular joke. It’s fine to not get the joke. None of that is a big deal. So there is no need for you to get all defensive and hostile about it. Some people thought it was a good joke; but you didn’t. It’s not a big deal. Just say nothing and move on. It isn’t something worth fighting about.
