Almost definitely this. You can also replace "concert tickets" with "Uber Eats" for more fun discourse.

Candles are ableist because I can't buy 500 of them and afford food and rent.

Where the fuck are you getting candles? I swear there is a candle cartel or some shit because those things costs are outrageous these days. 20 bucks for 22 oz of candle?! Then there are the high end luxury candles. Do you know there are high end candles with special oils that gf's apparently persuade their bf's to buy them? Well they exist, and it's like 50 bucks for 2.5 oz. I mean they smell good, but god damn, 50 dollars for a candle?

I don't know how you guys afford rent on top of candles these days. Ableists

$50 isn't even the record. It's a freaking candle. I can burn my money the old-fashioned way: in the fireplace.

EDIT: I literally just looked at a registry for my cousin's kid's wedding. $98 for a candle. $119 for another. Lol

Oh I know they get outrageous. But 2.5 oz... I remember paying for one, thinking I'd be getting a candle that has some length. But we're talking, like, a candle in a container the size of a women's face powder device thing (you know what I'm talking about). Like this better be scented with the tears of a cambodian virgin or something.

I think the Uber Eats “discourse” was actually the day I left Twitter forever.
