I bought a homeless looking woman lunch on my card a few weeks ago, because I didn't have any cash to give her. Does me telling my family how good it made me feel cheapen the act? I'd like to hope not, because from my eyes it's not self congratulatory, it's sharing something small they were able to do for another person because it makes them happy. I don't get the negativity in these threads.
You just told all of Lemmy about it. That woman is now hungry again and it was all for nothing :(
Edit: y'all need some sarcasm lessons and fuck off with bashing people who do good deeds
“You didn’t completely change that person’s life and solve all of their problems forever, so you’re just a performative, egotistical, self-fellating waste of time and I hate you because there is no greater reward or provided innate comfort for continuing to survive and suffer the aspects of life in general!” - You.

I didn't think it was very funny
That's ok
Yeah let's all stop showering, sleeping, and eating because its just gonna need to be done again.
Hey friend. I had these thoughts. Generalized Anxiety Disorder with a hearty side of CPTSD and clinical depression was the diagnosis.
Chunk that shit.
I have no idea what you're on about
You claim that because the woman would be hungry again, the action was meaningless.
We all get hungry again. It doesn't diminish that we ate before. Or that we must eat again, even though we just ate.
I am drawing a line between this fatalistic black and white thinking of "well then it's pointless" to my own experience with mental illness.
Chunking is a cognitive technique which orders information or tasks into smaller segments in order to avoid being overwhelmed.

That's all I see
Ah yes. I absolutely was serious when I claimed that the woman went hungry retroactively, because someone told the story about it
Damn, got me bro
Oooh. Your joke wasn't very clear. Because she did become hungry again, because thats how it works in our linear time.
Attributing the act of sharing being something that retroactively removes the action IS absurd, youre right.
It just wasn't a very clearly executed joke.
A well placed /s would help. Or further elaboration of the joke to emphasize the absurdity.
And again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
I don't understand why you're trying to justify being perceived as a jerk
