  For many, small talk does not strengthen or maintain a relationship. It is something that works for some people. Others endure it for the sake of the one who does but it doesn’t hold the same role for them and is not a necessity to have a loving and healthy relationship for everyone. Just as we express and receive love differently, small talk doesn’t serve the same role in everyone’s life. If it does for you, that’s great, hopefully you’re getting what you need.

  As for the double duty, that is true of all communication, whether small or not. As noted above, it may be an expression of love for some people, but it’s far from universal.

  Not everyone finds the smaller, and often repetitive, experiences of their day to be important or valuable and people are perfectly capable of having time for the other person’s life and feelings without the focus being those topics or experiences.

  It sounds like you value smalltalk in your life but may not accept that it isn’t as widespread as you seem to imply. I don’t doubt it does what you claim for yourself and others you know.

  Only for those who spend time engaged with existential topics rather than shopping though.

  Need for small talk suggests the contents of your thoughts revolves around topics and depth of thought suitable for small talk, I wish you the best in finding someone similar who can appreciate its value to your life. I’ll be elsewhere and hope you wish me the same luck.

  Yeah, it hurt.

  Still rather a bear than a man though, amirite?

  Wrong. That’s absolutely what your responsibility as a citizen is, to ensure the protection of democracy from everyone in any position capable of undermining it.

  Not directly, it just helps build a world in which empathy and freedom are dead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luigi checking out another CEO in my feed ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All to better manipulate you into giving more money to a corporation than the value of the product or service they give you in return. This entire fucking system is to manage how much the powerful are allowed to exploit the weak.

  They will follow us everywhere. If the medium is commercial, the capitalists will capture it. If its public, the extreme social interest groups will capture it. There is no place for the vast majority of average folk to just exist without being pushed, prodded, guilted, baited, enticed or forced to stop being ourselves.

  Stalin would have, and possibly did, murder non-binary folk without hesitation.

  Until we are forced to replace them with technological bandaids and hope the ecosystem keeps churning. Like we’ve been doing for a couple centuries atleast.

  Wage stagnating and unbalanced wealth distribution is a reward decrease, imo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison slavery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve long since discarded the faggy liberal Democrat reward system with the superior punishment system. /s

  We’ve gone from the reward being more happiness to the reward being less suffering.

  If you want a robot then hire a robot!

  We’re trying. We aren’t quite there yet. Just keep suffering for a feeew more years, then you won’t have to worry about our micromanaging.

  Whoever still has money. Either importing wealthy immigrants to replace the American market or they’ll move their products to the markets that still have money.
