I just feel like a lot of people here are defining “small talk” as “a conversation that I don’t want to have” rather than any meaningful definition.
I would consider stepping outside in the morning with your partner and stating “oh wow it’s such a nice day today” to be small talk. It’s a conversation without an end goal, sure, but I don’t think it’s as worthless as people are making it out to be.
Idk I took it more to mean “wow I don’t want to start a deep, thoughtful conversation the moment I get home from work let me relax for a minute” while at the same time still wanting to talk to your partner. But I guess it’s up to reader interpretation and I do seem to be in the minority here.
How did everyone take this post to mean that you should only do small talk with your partner and not have deeper conversations?
Came here from the front page. I’m for very comprehensive legislation surrounding how exactly ai can be used and what the consequences are for abusing it. I’ve also recently been getting into mtg, so an article about wotc/hasbro is relevant to me. Sorry if that ruins your point just now.
Now that I’ve answered your question to the best of my ability, would you be so gracious as to answer mine?
