    As a poor European:

    Coders saying “but me a cup of coffee” for $8.

    I buy a pack of coffee of 250g for ≈ $3. An average cup, according to Google, is 7.5g.

    That’s $0.40 for a cup.

    (Or about 9 beers)

    I feel like I’m the only one here eloquent enough to attack this preposterous stance, so allow me to gather my wits to plead my convincing rebuttal when I say:

    boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! (that was hard to type on a smartphone)

    I’ve always thought the “buy me a cup of coffee” was a thinly veiled euphemism for “give me beer”

    edit: also, I have contributed. There’s this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.
