Reply to comment by dscChewbacca in TIFU RIP PIZZA by dscChewbacca

I feel the frustration at the waste of money my man, half a sub and a large pizza is close to 30 bucks now days. And that’s from like dominos, a proper pizzeria you were probably pushing close to $40.

My condolences for your pizza my dude.

It clicked with me man! Of course it did! Honestly you spoke nothing but facts!

I literally cannot disagree with anything you said. It’s pretty spot on to how I look at life and the world!

All I was critiquing was the way it was laid out, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it!

Your message and ideals are very motivating! It’s the title and the way they were illustrated that threw me off I guess.

Kind of a “enjoy it while you can” vibe you know?

This wasn't really motivating my man. The way you phrased everything was actually quite the bummer.

However your general Idea is pretty inline with Stoic philosophy which I believe is very motivational! And you spoke the truth! The problem is that the way it is presented comes across much more existential than motivating.

Bad advice. Numerous times in high school I’d walk home and accept rides from people who stopped for me. They were all people I know.

On my way home through my 4 years I had my English teacher stop, my tech teacher stop, my workshop teacher stop, and few of my friends parents who also offered to give me a ride home.

I was walking for the work out not because I had too, but I always took them up on it since it was a nice gesture that showed they cared.

And to answer your question about “them not asking for a ride, and why are you offering it?”

It’s because they care about their safety. If I saw my niece walking along the street alone, I would without a doubt ask her if she needs a ride and if she was okay. If I didn’t, then I am negligent.

Most people have also never watched a movie with Charlie Chaplin. It doesn’t make it less culturally significant.

I don’t know anyone personally who has watched gone with the wind, does that make that movie useless?

Whether you like it or not, John Wayne is a a huge part of American culture. His name is still widely known after all these years. Hell I’ve never seen a John Wayne movie, but I know his name.
