Too good to be true story

Since humans have a way of telling stories that makes another group the bad guys, most stories are too good to be true stories, whether they are stories you hear often about triumphant European groups, or stories about the triumph of other groups than Europeans.

If the (American) Indians had invaded and took over Europe, the stories of the triumph of their human spirit would sound like bullshit to Europeans because they would know it was the way the Indians were telling history. The Indians would also know the dehumanized European stories of survival and oppression in the Indian's new world were bullshit too, since any group of humans can tell a too good to be true story, making another group sound like the most inhuman pieces of shit that ever lived, the bible has plenty of them. The reality is each and every group is as human and as inhuman as the next, there is no more or less human group, not the oppressor, not the oppressed. There are no innocent, pure humans, innocent applies only to animals. Groups of oppressed people have also raped, tortured, and killed each other, and members of other groups, even if plenty of bad shit happened to them too, no matter how good a movie/book makes their group or their story look. If an American Indian or an Aboriginie tells a story, their audience shouldn't not question the full story because it was told by a rare living member of an Indian or Aboriginie group because their group is few in numbers, any more than they shouldn't not question a story told by an Anglo-Saxon.

Good To Be Alive

A phrase you say when the impostor doesn't kill you in Among Us, especially when you are in CG5's among us song

I’m waking up,
breathing in clean air,
What a day, yeah,
What a sunny, funny day.
I feel so high, I can’t deny
A little better than okay,
Nowhere to go.
I shoot for stars, I’m Galileo.
Pack your bags and don’t be late.
The scenery flies before my eyes,
Don’t you dream of home, cuz it’ll have to wait.

It’s good to be alive,
It’s good to be alive,
I’m happy to survive,
So good.

Can’t kill my la-di-da vibe,
Suffocate my feelin’ alright,
Or asphyxiate my hype.
My bridges burned, no stone unturned.
It’s a relations’ massacre.
My new absolution,
My new lease on life has just begun today.
I ain’t worried ‘bout the fakes, or the bodies in my wake.
Baby, I’m a firework, like Pompeii.

It’s good to be alive,
It’s good to be alive,
I’m happy to survive,
So, so good.

The saints and angels sing,
Choir of the bells chime, ring ring ring.
I feel alive,
So alive!

It’s good to be alive,
It’s good to be alive,
I’m happy to survive,
So, so good.

It’s good!
So good!
It’s good!
So good!

too good to be free

Just like da "too good to be true" situation, this term refers to some wonderful item/service dat you will supposedly receive for nothing, but which you should seriously wonder if that is actually "all there is to it", or if there is some hidden proviso involved.

Da Bible claims dat you will receive happiness and riches beyond belief if you "just believe", but it sounds to me just like a "too good to be free" deal. God makes you endure a life of excessive toil and misery and abstinence first, so what good is that??

Objectively good to everyone else

And it isn't that it doesn't mean anything to everyone else. All of the derivatives are critically acclaimed.

Hym "No. It's objectively good to everyone else. I have the best taste. Objectively. Better than everyone else. The things I like and the reasons I like them are better than the things everyone else likes and we now have an observable metric by which we can judge my taste and can conclude that it's better than everyone. Women, TV, Drugs, Food. I'm the ultimate taste-haver! I'm like that guy from the french detective show who smells real good. Except for taste. But not, like, physically tasting things... Just like... Having taste IN things. You could make a detective show about THAT actually. I could solve crimes and throughout the episodes I would, like, suggest things to people like 'You should try the steak tartare' and the guy would be like 'Oh shit, wow! That is pretty good! You must know a lot about cooking or whatever.' And I'd be all 'Nah dawg, I just got really good taste- WAIT! I found a clue! It was the butler all along!' But the butler doesn't want to go down without a fight KAPOW! KAPOW! KAPOW! Cracked his ass! But wait! He's wearing Kevlar! Oh no! Secret bookcase tunnel! He escapes! He's like a Moriarty or something! I'll get you next time Moriarty-Butler!"
