ReplyI’m really bad at smalltalk because if someone would start talking to me about how awful the rain is my first instinct is to inform them about that we now have zero rain that isn’t polluted with “forever chemicals” *everywhere* on the planet, even places humans have never set foot. No rainwater can be classified as safe anymore. So yes, Deborah, the rain is indeed awful and it’s a huge fricken deal.
ReplyColin Quinn keeps getting funnier.

ReplySmall talk is a form of societal cooperation – think of it as something ur doing; not for others- but to make your own life easier
ReplyColin is right on with small talk. The toughest part is how to exit a long small talk. I must get this book. Yes! Teach animals small talk!
ReplyI wish he would bring back, Tough Crowd.
ReplyIn fairness, my immigrant family excelled in small talk. They can get the life story of any service worker when we go out to eat lol
Reply“…not teaching small talk…” It’s even worse: they text/write in Emoji. Death of written language and back to heiroglyphics.
ReplySome legacies matter to me then others try to take off with that to make a message that messes it up. They want to dictate who I care about how and why.
