There are good ppl in the world

All altruism comes from selfishness. You do it to feel good about you'reself and we feel good about ourselves when we do it because we are genetically programmed to do so, since being nice to you're fellow tribesmen used to increase you're own chances of survival and reproduction in the early days of humanity.

Yes I agree.
Though after the 30th post/ article on (insert favorite social networking site here) I get really sick of people trying to appear selfless when it's really just being self serving.

If he gave me $5000 he could post the receipt rolled around my dick on any social media site he wanted.

What about those who get joy out of being kind?

Or some people just do nice shit for the hell of it.

Sure, he showed himself doing that. But what if it inspired 50 other people to do something good for someone else? It might have been posted to make himself look better, but if it inspired just one person to do something good, its worth it.

Living in complete selflesness is impossible, so you must seek the congratulations of those important to you.

Tho a social media is probably not the right way to do so.

uh, he never said he was a good person, he said to stop bitching about your life expecting handouts.

You people just make me sick. You sit there and bitch about someone doing nice and showing other what they do. So the fuck what? Guess what? The person or thing they gave it to is usually saved by these acts of kindness.

Its just like that video that magic of rahat did where he gave that homeless man like 10k. There were people bitching about him making it into a video. So fucking what? Maybe it will inspire other people to do little nice things too.

TL;DR Shut the fuck up unless you have actual ground to stand on you Cynical asshole.

It's not like he paid $5000 for some tumblr attention. He took advantage of his initial selfless act and used it as an example for others.
and honestly, there's nothing wrong with getting a little recognition for your good deeds, whether or not the reward is the person's happiness (which the main reward should be).

It's like you calling someone a selfish prick for sharing a story about how they saved someone's life last week by endangering theirs.

Why would you self-sacrifice if it wasn't for your own pleasure? That goes against all logic.

Everything anybody does is in self interest. However there is such a thing as win-win, where everybody involved benefits from the interaction.

And selflessness isn't a good thing at all. That's how horrible people rise to power, that's how abusive relationships continue, and that's how progress is completely halted in somebody's life, or even society as a whole.

"Selflessness" and "Selfishness" are simply two opposite destructive ends. One is lose-win and the other is win-lose.

This is an example of virtuous, win-win behavior, and it should be appreciated as such instead of mocked.

i do nice things for selfish reasons all the time
doesn't make them less nice
if i feel like shit, i go and give someone something they need and/or want
and then i flaunt it
makes both me and them happier.

He still gave her 5 fucking thousand bucks, but just because he wanted to share it doesn't mean it's a good deed?

"Someone did something good for someone else! But they showed everyone what they did. Better make sure everyone knows how bad and selfish. You should never tell anyone anything good that you do. Even if you do give up a large amount of your own wealth, if you tell anyone it's not a good deed. That's why I never give anyone anything, or donate to any charities, or help my community; because if I did help someone then I would just be seeking attention."

Humbly bragging

I think when you give away 5000 dollars, you have every right to passively brag about it.

if hes giving 5000 dollars to his stranger of a waitress, he can get all the internet likes he wants.

he could have done it to inspire other people to do something nice for others. Like he can't say "hey I gave a 5k dollar tip, you should do something similar" and not show proof.

Stuff like this deserves credit.

Demanding credit for stuff like that is demanding social compensation for your financial compensation. It's asking to reclaim the cost of your "philanthropy". A truly benevolent act is not done to earn brownie points with others.

>sharing stories with others about something special you did for fun =/= "Give me credit and praise and love pls lmao XDDDDD"

"for fun". That's the part where we deviate. If his intention was just a good time, they wouldn't have pretended it was philanthropic, and they wouldn't have made a big deal out of the story, trying to evoke the sympathies of those he showed for the person he helped.

What he did was good, and nice, but he was after social brownie points here.

Its okay to get some social brownie points, unless thats your primary reason for it.

Yes, it's all "ok". What it isn't is truly benevolent. I never said the guy was an asshole.

well its still good overall, not ok overall, but the big deal he made out of it might have been a bit gloaty.

That... really wasn't the joke. The picture is of Dr. Mengele, sign on the front of auschwitz says "work makes you free", he supposedly did his awful experiments on people who could not work anymore. I was supporting the work ethic=good argument while also trying to be funny by absurdly referencing the worst possible set of circumstances for being lazy. Glad some people got it.

*5000

This guy is serious business, after all he is a man on a computer somewhere we don't care about on a comedy site complaining about a large tip that someone else got. He might just go ask the queen for the keys to the country since he's a threatening figure among
The Internet

they literally live off of tips fucktard, they get paid under minimum wage because of tips.

THAT or because waiters make about $2.30/hr and need the gratuity for them to have the job.

I am a waiter and i make 5 bucks each hour and i just quit my job because I honestly got enough money, so I can make the next three month with the money I earned (from tips) in the last 7 month.... so Mister Gold Account.... fuck off, the tipping system is giving me 3 month without work because everyone thinks i couldn't live with the 5 bucks alone (which everyone easily can, if you just would work enough, like I did) and tips like shit... I love morales and people who try to act like they have some....

Minimum wage in America is 7.30, still not enough to live off of.

minimum wage differs from state to state based on the cost of living lol

I'm from Ohio and minimum is 7.90

Okay Mr. Pink

Our military could still kick your military's ass Eurofag.

implying aanyone is stupid enough to use them

Fuking implying that you guys would have the balls to end the fuking world.

but we have chuck norris so nukes are irrelevant

Before anyone goes on a tangent about tipping, I'm throwing it out there now that servers typically make $2.75 an hour....their tips are their pay, and they lose some of that money in taxes too.

I think it's better to argue that they should make minimum wage instead of saying "We should pay the rest of their wages to make up for how digestive end productty they're paid". They work, they should get paid at least as much as everyone else does. Tipping should be a gift for exceptional service, not you doing the job of their employer by paying them.

That's one way of seeing it, and I agree that this works. However, you have to note that restaurants in the US with a tip based system (all of them pretty much) offer their food at lower prices.

Places that do that are retarded and it's bullshit. They do that so that the employer doesn't have to pay the difference between the shit that the workers get paid and minimum wage if the workers don't get good tips. They penalize the good workers for working well while rewarding the shitty ones

In a way that's still okay, because if the place was closing down, then everyone who would be losing their job would get a cut of this generosity

They just don't work hard enough.

Example: When I started Runescape I didn't have much. But after playing for a while I've reached 1 million gold. Moral of the story? Hard work and murder of countless of innocent people/beings will get you places.

It's a joke please don't kill me.

Professional American civilian here, tipping was a way for businesses to be able to reduce having to pay their workers, as an overall mindset for our country developed that any person waiting us should be compensated extra from us.

There is a minimum wage, but it's different whether your a position waiting on people. (e.g.- where I'm at it's about 7.5 USD non-tip, 4.25 USD tipped) So although there is a minimum it's significantly less. Don't let people fool you though, if your waiting at a good restaraunt, you could easily make $40,000 a year just from tips.

gif semi-irrelevant

unfortunately the minimum wage in america isn't actually enough to live on.

son of a bitch he couldve given her at least 10.

Hard to argue. The guy can't spell "losing" and we are expected to believe he is successful enough to leave a 5000 dollar tip? Kanye would disapprove.
