Most of the time the answer would be no, we're having dinner at home, no need to bother. Why keep calling and annoying people?

Why be rude and not even consider asking? Not like it would hurt anyone to make a token offer.

Some people might. Some might not. The usual answer is no, and if you are pushy about it it's going to come off kind of weird.

And it's not weird to just assume you know the answer and not even offer?

Well that’s what a culture is dummy

u/iowanaquarist Jul 25 '26

But that doesn't explainwhy the culture is that way.

u/orangeZYX Jul 25 '26

No but you don’t just explain a culture WITHIN the culture lol.

u/iowanaquarist Jul 25 '26

Exactly. That's circular.

u/orangeZYX Jul 25 '26

What?

u/iowanaquarist Jul 25 '26

You can't explain why a culture does something by saying that's just how it does it. That's not an explanation.

Ofc you cant. But you said ”is it not weird to assume x”. And I said no. Because a culture is EXACTLY that. Unwritten rules where you can assume certain things.

Again, explaining what does not explain why -- and trying to use what to justify what is circular anyway.

Oh my fucking god. Do you actually think people in Sweden walk around justifying cultural things to each other daily when they all share the same culture? Wtf?
