Wholesome af. Insert something about kindness transcending all language or some sappy shit

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 42 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Can’t agree more with that sentiment.

[–] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Insert wholehearted concurrence!

Good for this dude. It’s actually really hard making friends at that stage in life and he went and did it.

[–] Tb0n3@sh.itjust.works 24 points 9 months ago

You don't know you're doing it until you did it. It's kind of weird.

Not to sound like a mid-90s Diane Lane movie, but it really is what happens when you "put yourself out there."

I mean it is also a story about the different cultures. Latinos tend to have a more open and inviting culture.

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 19 points 9 months ago

I find a lot of people also just appreciate the effort especially when it comes to learning a language

What the hell did Diane Lane do? I literally only know her from Streets of Fire, don't laugh.

This is what it looks like when people who have wealth have no problem sharing it with others. Not monetary wealth but rich in community.

It's also what it looks like when you treat people as people, rather than trying to win a split second of approval by being racist on 4chan.

This should be another origin scenario for Cyberpunk 2077.

When I was a cook in west Hollywood I was basically the only white dude in the kitchen. Honestly was the best time I had with coworkers while I was there. They were hard, good, and funny workers. One night after a super stressful shift one of the other cooks was giving me a ride home and we stopped at a gas station he came back with two 40's and said "this is for the relax". I'll never forget that crew.

Boh Kitchen folk are some of the most honest and real people you can meet.

BOH is the perfect case study for how forced tight knit interactions can form into cultural melting pots. Lets break some barriers people.

Not adding a link to be pedantic. Just thought it explained it better than I could.

That sounds like exactly the "bullshit stereotype lifted straight from a movie" that you're trying to pin on others.

Real life isn't a Billy Joel song. All that 99 out of 100 people need from a bartender is "What can I get you?" followed by getting it.

Even more bizarrely, do you honestly think that a stranger who is drunk and oversharing qualifies as a friend? Do you think therapists have patients, or do you think they've just got a lot of super cool friends they hang out with all day?

When I worked for a big hotel company, people didn't care about the bartender. While I was there, the cooks received a small tip and said they never received one. I think it depends where you are bartending. Party with drunk people? Yeah that's your scenario. Rich people that only look/talk to you to ask for something, my case and maybe anons case. I didn't find anything racist, tho. Would like to know what is racist/xenophobic.
