@Jacob I’ve got a solid 10 twitter followers so there’s that 😎
cool kid here
@Alex Kolchak - NY didnt follow me back
@Jacob I would say 20-30 based on the bar definition
Why would I have a santa hat when I don't celebrate Christmas?☪
One anthropologist proposes a Dunbar number of 290. Seems insane to me that you could even maintain passive relations with that many people.
I’ve worked for the public for nearly a decade tho
They had a German Shepherd but it was in a pair with another dog
I counted 14 stable social relations and I already find it difficult to maintain contact with everyone. No idea how I would possibly keep track of 150 people. @Asatru Artist - MD
@StevePines -WA like you had to buy both at a time?
I have well over 150+ I would engage in conversation with if I seen them in public tho. Just pleasantries or what not
Yeah
Apparently in some European countries they find them weird
@StevePines -WA weird
@Asatru Artist - MD Celebrating Christmas is blasphemy in my religion
@William Russell In Slavic countries blatantly fake small talk is super weird
Yea that’s what I’ve heard about Germany
@Asatru Artist - MD Not quite.....✡
They were codependent, they've lived with each other their whole lives and the shelter didn't want to separate them @Jacob
Germans disliking small talk? whack and unheard of
What do you do when you make eye contact with someone you are acquainted with but don’t know well?
@StevePines -WA huh interesting
@William Russell up nod if know them better than average, down nod if less than average
@William Russell I either just ignore them, or I find something legitimate to talk about
I’m the king of small talk lol I wonder if people find it obnoxious
To be honest I generally ignore people who I don't know well
deep south anglo pleasantries require an intense dedication to small talk
I always make sure to initiate it I feel like I’m more likable they associate me with being friendly and kind of they don’t know me that well
That’s what it is @Sam Southern - TN
Yankees under appreciate it
eastern europeans + yankees
basically all non NW euro descendants lol
@William Russell Depends what kind of small talk. I find it uncomfortable if it's really blatantly fake.
Dixie Anglo
we've even tamed the bastard scots/irish folks to our ways
Hey how you been? That’s good. How’s so and so. Well it was nice seeing you. Bye
at a minimum lol
the song and dance required to leave a family function requires more effort than negotiating a nuclear armistice
That’s what I usually do lol the how is so and so is about an interest, common friend, or family member
@Sam Southern - TN That's why America needs to be majority Northwest European just like Patrick supposedly said. It's one of those things that didn't happen but I wish it did.
