      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.

      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.

      They probably gave him a present because they’re friends. People post their friends on the internet.

      Or he took a picture to remember the moment. Like people do since before the Internet.
