@barnasaurusrex @erratica - can we get you guys on the hook for an update in a while?
You bet, I'll make sure to post any updates if they arise. I'm glad so many people have been as touched by this as I am.

But such a beautiful moment of human interaction, I couldn't have imagined it going any better *uptick in faith in humanity!

The best kind of OC.
What a beautiful moment of human interaction! I can't imagine it having gone any better :) *uptick for faith in humanity* (1/2)
I'm not sure, if in Ronald's shoes, that I'd call my friend godless. Maybe another way to bring the "love of Christ" to his attn? or whatevs

Gonna upvote both of you, so that this gets to the front page and gets Mister Rex all the points he deserves.
Thank you!

See shit like this makes me pumped for talking to random people, but then when I do they get scared. Surely it isn't me scaring them.

TL;DR @BarnasaurusRex is a godless man.

This is awesome!

Whenever I talk to homeless people it never works out...
Hey, but you talk to them - that's more than most people do (including myself, I always feel too nervous).
Michigurian
This needs more upvotes! But alas, I have but only one to give :'(
Icreatedthisforyou
Buying a homeless person a meal and just sitting and talking to them is one of the best and most eye opening experiences you can have (1/?)
In particular places like the U.S. where we are often able to dissociate ourselves from societal problems, it is safe you are in public 2/3
And you don't have to worry about them wasting money you give them on a drug habit. It is a good use of time and you are helping someone 3/3

I did what I thought was right, drinking with a stranger.
ShamnusMcfee
Well, we couldn't well expect you to drink alone.
We must do what we feel is right, of course. You're setting a good example for everybody!! <3
@BarnasaurusRex is an amazing individual.
You, my friend, are a silly little biscuit.
Seriously, dude, this is one of the most inspiring things I've ever heard of. I feel lucky to be your friend!

+1. I love biscuits!

You do realize none of these upvotes for fake internet points are going to go to Rex? Don't you? lol
You do realize that you can click on his tag and upvote all his things, don't you? lol
TL;DR

Why does he have to go and pull religion into it? Fuck, just accept his kindness and don't be a religious dick!
TEDDYBEARS
Where exactly do you see "dick" in this?
It also comes across as somewhat self-righteous.
Right here: Whether intentional or not, it's still a dick thing to say.
I guess I just don't see that as dickish. I wouldn't take it that way if said to me, but then again there are things I haven't forgiven
about myself. I'd think they were insightful and be grateful for the reminder that I'm human and we fuck up occasionally.
Also, it's not like he was judging him. He was being compassionately concerned. I see nothing wrong with that.
To me it comes across as morally superior and dickish, whether it was actually intended to be that way. Can't stand when people who do that.
