minus-squareSuperApples@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down2·6 months agoYes, to me, the nuance is what’s important here. “You’re welcome” implies you did something good, and you know it. “I am good for doing this for you. You owe me!” Whereas “no problem” implies it didn’t cause you any trouble. “Doing this for you was not detrimental to my life. You owe me nothing.”
