Woah, hold on. There’s something here.
It’s a business transaction, sure. But the social interaction, while to us seems like sarcastic exaggerating, is humorous complimenting. In order to do that, it has to be language you can use frequently and honestly.
This is doing wonders for his mental health, likely because part of his thoughts are “what could I say to make ME feel more complimented than that.” He’s actively using positive self talk unconsciously.
And he gave the dude a present only to take a picture and put it on the Internet
Or he took a picture to remember the moment. Like people do since before the Internet.
BossDJ, I want to make sure you’re ok. This cynical outlook isn’t like you. Please act like the usual positive MC I know you are.
There it is, the negative sarcastic tone I’m used to on the internet. I got a weird warm feeling reading all that stuff in front of your comment. Thank you for putting me down to reality again. Well done, sir.
What sarcasm? That was a straight forward statement. Where I’m from that’s a pretty rude thing to do.
Eh, I can understand your outlook when it’s something done specifically to post it to the internet, like when people film themselves giving money to the homeless, but the guy pretty clearly looks happy to have his pistachios; I’d imagine the story is real, and this guy just wanted to share it, even if there was a less altruistic undertone of getting positive attention online.
And at the end of the day, there’s a net good to doing things like giving people gifts and giving homeless people some money to help them out, even if done entirely for the sake of internet popularity. I like to focus more on whether the person being helped is thankful for it, and if they are, I just focus on that rather than the guy trying to make himself look good for doing it.
This is the America I dream of.
It starts with us.
It starts with one thing. I don’t know why
And then we’re gonna ignore the rest of the lyrics because they don’t really support the point being made here
Keep that in mind, design some new lines
To explain with new rhyme
All I know
Love is a valuable thing
Chances to show it gone as the
pendulum swings
Did you try once by the end of the day
To spread love that way?
I love this, my quick stop guy smiles whenever I walk in, but he doesn’t speak much English. I’d love to get him pistachios
Then get him pistachios?
Without first posting about it on the internet? Nonsense!
Ok, where do I find an emotional support iraqi corner store?
Iraq is the most likely place.
