This is not a SFW instance. NSFW communities will be tagged, and efforts will be made to keep SFW communities clean, but proceed at your own comfort level.
Eh, depends. For example, where I live there’s a trend of people approaching you asking for information, before carefully pivoting into asking money to buy food. And if you buy them food then and there (under their eyes so they can choose what they want and make sure it’s not poisoned), they’ll turn the corner and throw it away. Helping strangers isn’t always something your future self will thank you for
We saw two ladies trying to take a car wheel off one night so me and the boys jumped out the car to help them out, we took the wheel off the car and they said they would be back once repaired and said thanks as they jumped in another car and drove off.
Then we realized the two other wheels on the other side of the car were missing and we had just helped them finish stealing someone’s wheels
He sat down and walked through replacing a starter with the kid. Worst case scenario he just taught a kid that he can work on his own stuff even if he doesn’t have to.
Bro, that’s free dopamine and I’ll take it. I recall someone stopping me and asking for help with changing a flat because they didn’t have a lug wrench. I didn’t have the time to stop and help but I told them they were in luck because I just so happen to have a universal lug wrench in the trunk and they could have it, they wanted to pay for it and my broke college student ass could use it but there is more dopamine in giving then selling haha.
I’ve taken to telling them that someone else helped me out, and I’m just trying to pay it forward, with interest. If they can pay it forward in future, I would be very happy with them continuing the chain.
You still get the dopamine of a good deed, they feel like they can pay you back by passing it on. If they don’t, no harm done. If they do, your good deed just got amplified to some other poor sod’s benefit. It might even loop back!
If a complete stranger reaches out for help, do it. Your future self will thank you.

that’s funny as fuck (not for the person who lost their wheels)
