A friend just stopped by and surprised me with flowers. 🤩 
Discussion
And you chose to commodify it immediately.
I chose to share a nice thing that was part of my day lol you’re so boring
You chose to commodify your social interactions. Someone shares affection and your immediate thought is "How can I profit socially and financially from this."
Why share it at all?
Fair criticism. Though, why not do it? Does it cheapen it? Does it enhance its value?
Perhaps both.
Why not turn genuine human interaction into a commodity?
Serious question?
Yes of course it cheapens it.
ALL that "friend" is to her is a means to acquire zaps.
Sharing positive things is just as important is being critical and voicing concerns. Life is dynamic. Something made me happy. Why is sharing that commodification but being critical is somehow righteous?
There is literally no reason to share your personal life with the internet except to commodify it and dehumanize yourself as a product to be bought and sold for currency and social approval.
hardest takes
dear Alana,
u can post the most amazing note and internet mf’s are gonna lose their shit😂
*gives away sats* - “whore”
*posts a sweet thing from my day * - “whore”
*writes a long form post about the direction of social media* - “whore”
You do all of those things for zaps and social credit.
You need to get laid lol
Simp.
Meanwhile I’ve been doing those things since 1995 with no incentive for many years and I’m a digital strategist for emerging tech companies.
“Whore”
But you are our “whore” and we love you 😁
Everyone loves a whore🧐🫂🤡
It must be frustrating dealing with people who have only hate in their heart to share with others. Keep sharing the flowers! Make the world a better place. Give more than you get. Sometimes all we need is an encouraging word, a beautiful picture, or a mesmerizing song to brighten our day.
Be the change you wish to see!
Sometimes best is to take the 10 000 feet approach, from height you cannot see those small wiggling haters and they just disappear 😘🍷😘
Bam! 🌽
😆😆😆 I’m dying
The criticism would’ve been valid if you had mentioned zaps, but you didn’t so you’re off the hook this time. Case closed.
Agreed
I have him blocked. He’s the worst. I don’t even know why I clicked to see who was behind the blocked message.
Don’t waste your time on him. Spend it figuring out what’s up with this “friend” who brought you flowers!!
"Operation Libertas" lmao
You deserve this 👸
Are you being courted by a gentleman m'lady?
I’m honestly not sure tbh 🫠
If you're looking for a sign, this is it.
Lol. The dude who brought the flowers definitely knows, but she’s still not sure. #friendzone. Lol
He is recently divorced. We’ve been friends for 10+ years. For me it’s too soon to view him through that lens. I truly value the friendship and am not looking to be anyone’s rebound. He brought them to thank me for my support so I’m taking them at face value even though I’m also definitely aware this might be about more because do guys really do this kind of thing to thank a friend?
No. No we don’t. Lol.
But I hear you about the rebound. Not a good time.
Rarely. But this type of behavior doesn’t point to rebound. Whatever are his long term plans towards you, he values you greatly.
No I don’t think this is a thing, gift card to Walmart would be more likely
Ask for zaps next time. Zaps are forever!
Followed and ⚡️
Don’t feed the trolls 🧡
How beautiful
Looks nice
