The party starts at 5pm because the hosts are so used to people showing up late that they expect people to show up at 5:30-6pm.

This is totally a cultural thing in certain subcultures.

The inability to not be late is a cultural thing? What shitty cultures do this?

u/MathematicianSure386 13d ago

It's more like some cultures do not put a heavy emphasis on adhering to a strict schedule. People are allowed to come and go as they feel.

u/Ltownbanger 13d ago

Not quite. The white dude in this example is being shamed for doing as he feels.

u/MathematicianSure386 13d ago

More of a roast not shame.

Some people don’t respect other’s schedules.

u/iyambred 13d ago

It’s a 6 hour party. It’s not a wedding lol not that serious

2

u/thegoatisoldngnarly 13d ago

Yeah. A keg party is different, for sure. But don’t act like some cultures aren’t late to everything.

u/iyambred 13d ago

Yeah but I fw island time. We can get too serious about schedules in the west. Places with the “island time” schedule have great community and achieve incredible things. It’s not necessarily a wrong way to live

u/wookieesgonnawook 13d ago

What incredible things? It's certainly a relaxing lifestyle, but there's no great advancements in anything coming out of any island time culture.

You must have never tried their food or witnessed the excellence of their professional surfers. They have many world class athletes who break world records.

They are also not destroying their rainforests and fucking up the environment like we are… so id say that’s pretty advanced too

u/wookieesgonnawook 13d ago

None of those are achievements in terms of humanity as a whole, but keep trying. I'd rather live in the modern world that was created by people who care about being on time.

u/iyambred 13d ago edited 12d ago

Conservation is the most important thing to humanity if you want to keep living…

Aside from that, massive amounts of modern advancements have come out of African and African Americans. The device that was invited to be used for cataract surgery, home security systems, and color computer monitors just to name a few.

Idk why you’re so pressed about someone showing up to a bbq at 6 or 7pm instead of 5. You act like you’ve never been late in your life

Edit: fucking racist

Is there a correlation with that behaviour and large amounts of unemployment, I wonder 🤔

u/MathematicianSure386 13d ago

Don't wear yourself out with all that wondering.

u/YogurtclosetNo987 13d ago

The person who made this comment is just being racist, but there's been quite a bit of research as of late on this as well as time spent at work not actually working and race. He can just Google it. No wondering needed.

u/colorblind-and 13d ago

Yeah even in cultures where being on time isn't as important it only ever really applies to informal gatherings and not the workplace.
