I had a work event today and small talked for 6 hours straight, not a big talk in sight
this is a bit of an adjacent point but I do think "small talk" should be thought of as a skill, and something that becomes more enjoyable once you've practiced it a bit; reckon few people just love it from the off, there's got to be some effort at the start but it then becomes genuinely rewarding
Going to try a thing.
I do not like small talk.

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women:
“I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us."

I am a small woman who is on the train right now, it is fine
Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Watching this app try to figure out my algorithm in real time has been hilarious. We started with exclusively “cats” then it added “corgis” (not all dogs, just corgis), now we’ve got any mention of “coffee” or “tea”. What’s next??
