Wow. You just, Matrix-like, downloaded 10 years of workplace ennui into my soul with this.

Wish you hadn't.

Somehow, without the aid of nuclear devestation, people have managed to reset to Year 0. Just "rediscovering" shit that already existed as if it's new tech. And then try to sell it to people.

It'd almost be funny if it didn't make me so fuckin mad.

You're not wrong but we've already had enough fascists not feeling ashamed to air heinous ideas publicly in the US. Shame isn't a good, universal metric because some people don't feel it and will weaponize that.

I don't...like that it's running?

Weird. I thought it was funny because the dog's face is funny-looking.

Idk. Everyone's done something but I don't know them like that.

I was adopting a joke stance against their dragon fuckinf.

I already lack the energy required to try and explain how you've created an unnecessary division.

Small talk is just talking about unimportant things, because it can be considered impolite to start digging into the core of stranger's identity while you're both waiting in line. Sounds to me like you're putting your discomfort around strangers on small talk.

I am also an introvert. I've just put effort into trying to continue conversations.

"But why?"

"4000's nothing for a hat that fancy. I'm barely breaking even."

I tried all day to get him to smooch me in my house, he couldn't have been doing that public service.

I smiled.

I think everyone needs to recalibrate what 'small talk' is.

Some people are acting so opposed to small talk, as if it requires writing an essay on why you love a list of pop culture influencers and reality stars.

when we're talking about the kitties doing something cute or what we wanna have for dinner that's not small talk.

What else do you imagine is part of "small talk"?

I can't, morally, upvote you but I appreciate your self-consistency.

It has to be excreted from your tear ducts.

Hit me with the 159, chef.

That's just toeing the water. Seeing if the fragile skin of the fascist can withstand the temperature.

The religious indoctrination of children prepares them to be unquestioning adults.

The children are being indoctrinated by their families and the right-wing media their families consume. They're being indoctrinated by a school system that's being gutted and defanged so they can't help but fail to bite into and digest the hard truths about this nation's history. This nation didn't lose to brimstone evangelists and holiday "Christians" joining a hivemind to prop up an Antichrist. It lost to civil servants (and those that pay them) that poisoned their constituents so they could lay claim to lordship.

I'm going to need to see numbers and polls before I believe Trump's purported religiousity is what's pulling even a signficant percentage of his voting bloc. More than his "good business sense", "straight shootin", and noted disdain for the rights of minorities.

And that's not circling back to any of the other stuff I wrote in my first comment, about the separation of church and state.

Finally! We're getting some of the cool bits of dystopia. Where can I catch the robo-boxing vod?
