- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 8 hours ago:
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.

How can there be a cis lesbian?

No idea how that will turn out. Fully auto, but you have to maintain the vehicle and ensure it’s road worthy as the owner.

Depends on the issue at hand. To get these approved and widespread, better than humans may be the bar.

But does it do it less often than humans?

- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 3 weeks ago:
Advertising exists to manipulate behavior beneficial to clients, out of target groups. It is propaganda and psychological manipulation. The days of simply informing people of products and services is a fairy tale. Maddison Avenue was built off of Nazi Germany’s mass media propaganda strategies.

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.

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.

Wage stagnating and unbalanced wealth distribution is a reward decrease, imo.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I wish the jokes would stop tbh, keep joking and people keep thinking it isn’t that serious. Until they stop, people feel safe doing nothing. People need to stop feeling safe, because they fucking aren’t. I keep watching clips of Jon Stewart and Jon Oliver making the same satirical jokes they always have and it boggles my mind they’re still cracking jokes while America is being torn apart. What’s the benefit in that?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yes, it is. It’s an actual fascist takeover by the right, of the most powerful nation on earth. The heart of democracy is being stopped. People keep going about their lives like this is another fucking Tuesday.

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.

Which means it’s financially viable to compete with them again using their own drivers. Uber just trained an entire sector on delivery driving which is a larger pool of labour places can now draw from. And you can start by talking in person to the drivers who conveniently come directly to your business every day.
