Yeah. Yeah. That is – I like what you just said though. In my desperate effort to hear my voice, I just started immediately talking. I like that you say that usually you would think that fear would be the bigger motivator and I think for a long time it was, that it has been. It worked. For lack of a better word, fear works. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. This line, someone just remembered their print coupons and they're hidden somewhere deep in their purse. And I'm already line committed. So I'm not going to go somewhere.

No. No, I see what you're saying. No, it's not the way that I think of it. That would be more restraint.

No. But that's – yeah, I feel that patient is a very passive reaction to a fairly passive situation. It's more just like it's not – holding yourself back from beating someone up. It's just try not to get so annoyed at Ralph's. Like, that's it. Can you tell that I spend too much time at Ralph's?

I think it happens a lot more than we think it does. Mm-hmm. And I also think that showing a TikTok of someone being quiet and kind isn't as interesting as showing someone screaming at someone else in an airport. And so it makes it seem like society is coming apart at the seams all the time. And it's just really not.

There's something, I mean, there's something kind of nicely boring about being just sort of everyday positive. You don't have to be running around like Mr. Beast and buying Hummers for people. I don't actually know who Mr. Beast is. Does he like give away a bunch of money or something?
