Jan 21, 2019 at 13:07 comment added Flater @WernerCD: Exploitation commonly has a negative connotation nowadays but that's something that's grown over time. Omitting the negative connotations, it means as much as "making use of", which also fits with your countersuggestion.
Jan 19, 2019 at 22:50 comment added WernerCD @EvilSnack People outside of the US exist? Whodathunkit? But seriously... the moral of the story could also be "Evolution: When abnormal things turn into the right things". Your "capitalism is exploitation" instead becomes "Science and the evolution of things"
Jan 19, 2019 at 20:12 comment added EvilSnack Rudolph is in fact the creation of an American department-store advertising writer. It is perfectly understandable if someone outside of the US has never heard of him.
Jan 19, 2019 at 3:46 comment added pojo-guy Rudolph is a US-centric extension to a US-centric story, although we knew about him in Canada too. People from other cultural backgrounds won't be familiar with him.
Jan 18, 2019 at 23:16 comment added Luke @Separatrix L. Dutch probably isn't the only one. A link to (or summary of) the story might improve this answer. Not just in the comments, but in the body.

Jan 18, 2019 at 12:20 comment added Separatrix @L.Dutch: youtube.com/watch?v=lM6mDRhKAcA The disconnect being that you don't normally see a children's christmas song addressed in adult terms.
Jan 18, 2019 at 12:16 comment added L.Dutch Maybe I am an exception, but I don't know the story of Rudolph...
