I’m happy for you extroverts to go use the cashier checkout lanes if you are that desperate for small talk.
That’s amusing. I’m a total introvert. I don’t do small talk. It’s draining to me too. That’s why I’m wondering where the hell you’re shopping. I never use self checkouts and never have a problem with having to chat with anyone.

Where the hell are you shopping that you have to make small talk? I say “hi” when I walk up. Wait while they scan. They say “that’ll be $10”. I tap my card, say “thanks” and leave.
If people can’t even interact with each other on a surface level like that it’s no wonder we’re all so lonely and depressed.

- Comment on The B2 saw its shadow which means another 20 years of war in the middle east 1 week ago:
The shadow thing refers to a North American tradition:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day
Groundhog Day is a tradition observed regionally in the United States and Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 1 week ago:
The US is already feeding on the smaller sharks, and has been for decades. Look at their foreign policy in Central and South America, South East Asia, the Middle East.
The only difference is that they’ve been feasting on other nations and not the West. China and Russia don’t have those restraints. All three of them are horrible, but America hasn’t been horrible to us until just recently.

Yeah, it would be a like a frat house party. First one to fall asleep gets their face covered in Sharpie and someone dunks their balls on their forehead.
Therefore no one will want to fall asleep first and the you won’t have to worry about sleeping spaces.

But it’s not. So don’t make up scenarios and then claim persecution when people downvote you.
- Comment on Bugs are the tits 3 weeks ago:
I hate that they call it “insect bites” when several of those are stings, not bites.
Also spiders, ticks and scorpions aren’t insects either!

No he wasn’t. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it’s important to spread the word.

Apes are so similar to us because we came from a common ancestor. I’d love to hear if there are traits we evolved independently after we split though.

As long as the population increases, without making changes to the currency supply, money is going to become more scarce.
Fuck off. The richest 1% own over half the world’s wealth. That’s where the money is going, not Mrs. Johnson down the street having 3 kids.

Even if the pattern were laid out properly there’s no way it’s “perfect”. There would be slight differences in height, alignments, etc. It comes down to a matter of how close you look, but it will never be flawless.
Imaging the ego on someone like that who thinks their work would even come close to the supreme creator of the universe’s level. They either think they’re far more skilled than they are, or that their deity is far more flawed. Either way it’s nonsense.
