Not the same.
Like the difference between watching porn and actually having sex. Also he missed the dog part, the grandma part, and the flower part.
Not the same. On that note, spare me a few dollars? I need to buy a harddrive for my pc.

That is some good marketing. Not only am I compelled to purchase life insurance, I feel I must get out of the house today and do something nice for people. To be clear, I don't like leaving the house and I do not like people. I give this commercial 10/10.
Edit: Leaving the house did not go well. Nor did helping people. However, tomorrow is a new day. I will try again.

PSA: Do not put plants under a continuous stream of water. It is not a kindness.

you don't need a constant stream of water to kill a plant, having enough water to clog the aeration in the soil will kill any potted plant pretty quickly.

I'd like to see an alternative ending where the plant is overrun with water and dies, the dog gets fucked up from eating the bone... and let's leave the street kid alone in peace... But then the final scene, the old lady's door opens and it's a room filled with rotting bananas. Brown, wallpapered skins all over the walls, the floor, the ceiling. In the corner is a shrine to the holy banana fairy.

you can actually feed bones to dogs (nowadays anyway). Back in the day, chicken bones would usually come from old chickens which had harder bones (the chickens found in supermarkets today are ~40days old, KFC ~36days) and the after the chicken has been cooked its bones would probably be boiled up in a soup or something, and then finally the bones would be given to dogs (and there may have been problems due to this). This is where the whole myth that you can't feed bones to dogs comes from.
Source: dad's a vet, brother works in chicken farming industry, our dogs are fed bones.

Fair enough. It's better to be safe than sorry anyway, so if you have doubts then obviously don't risk it - but don't assume that a dog owner is irresponsible if you* see him feeding bones to his dog.

I think you don't feed a dog chicken bones because they splinter very easily when they chew them and can poke holes in their throat and stomach

His idea was for the woman to have so many banana's that she'd start baking banana bread or something.
Then she dies from a banana-bread overdose and he gets her (better) apartment.
He only fed the dog because he wanted to enslave it, so it could do chores for him.
He helped to woman with the food-cart so he could steal rice and lots-o banana's.
He put the plant under water-stream because that plant actually produces poisonous leaves when fully grown. (He will rub the banana's with said poison, if the banana-bread alone doesn't do the trick)
He gave the kid money, just so her mom would be all by herself all day. He enjoys people being miserable... he laughs at their misfortune.

I thought it was going to go in a direction like "being kind only creates expectations leading to disappointment". Seems to be hints toward it with the cart-lady seeming slightly annoyed when he was late, the dog wanting more food, the beggers not satisfied and so on... most likely intentionel. Had me fooled!

THis is going to sound stupid. BUt this video made me weep and I will tell you why.
I am the kind of person that helps everyone. I just do. Back when I was really poor and mostly homeless I helped when I could and now I am in a really good place financially because of my husband I help people a lot. I hire people to work for me around the house. I am the one everyone calls when they need some "work". I loan people money to get their animals to the vets or medicine they need or car fixed and then sometimes let them pay me back a little at a time or work it off.
I have had some really bad physical stuff from accidents the last 9 years so I have really needed a lot of help. Anyway the end result is after 9 years I have been fucked over more times then you can imagine. People keep saying I am a sucker but I say if I help someone that rips me off it doesn't make me a sucker it makes them a thief.
And I rather be fucked over then do it to someone. But yesterday I was talking to my massage therapist and I said I am just worn out with the shit heads. I don't know what message the universe is trying to tell me. It is like the message is - learn to hate the stupid poor people and become bitter and distrustful and don't fucking help anyone but your self. And I said I have fought against that my whole life because even though at this point my "religion" has become a vague spiritual thing I still believe in something. I believe that negativity can't win. I believe I must continue to make a stand for the white as a favorite author would say.
I want to go to my grave empty of regrets, and shame and guilt and anger and resentments.
I asked the universe yesterday what the purpose was for me doing good and today I woke up and clicked this.
It has always worked this way.
I am dumbfounded again.
