teddit

random reflection i havent yet made sense of while im on the metro:

service workers are so pleasant and grateful in singapore. every single one. 

in most American cities, that is the exception and not the rule — at least in my own experience. 

this furthers my growing belief that the loudest online parts of the U.S. are grossly spoiled and ungrateful for the opportunities we have here. 

now consider crypto twitter, most of whom are American or in wealthy developed countries where crypto won’t meaningfully change their lives in the same way that it does for those living in emerging economies.

can you imagine someone from crypto twitter working a service job and acting not just cordial, but pleasant to everyone they serve?

if the answer is no, do you think it is a coincidence that crypto twitter are one of the loudest online parts of the internet (see reference above)?

and if the answer is yes, where did you find this gem? please introduce me (us) to whomever you have in mind.
