And they wrote, sorry if this is rude or whatever, but I really hate people who refuse to endure even the tiniest bits of small talk.

Can't tell you how many times I've walked up to a table at work and said, how are you doing?

Only met with complete silence and a blank stare.

8,000 reposts.

And people having complete meltdowns over it.

I even wrote about it at the time where it was one of those like regular kind of main character effects where it's like a person who's like, we should all like exist in society.

And everyone being like, hi, I will fucking murder you if you tell me that I should exist in society.

Oh, you're cool with the tipping screens at Starbucks?

Wow.

Oh, so you're assuming that we all have perfect family lives and we don't mind if they're murdered?

Yeah.

And I also think that with a lot of these things, like the reason they kick off, like even going all the way to Chapel Rhone or Hawk to like all the way up and down the spectrum here, there has to be kind of like a nugget of I don't really know how to articulate this, but sort of a like a shared shame at like the breakdown of modern society.

And the example that I would point to here is one from 2023 as well, which is when Tiffany Gomez has a meltdown on a plane and claims that a passenger is not real.

telling you right now that mother back there is not real and is videotaped on the plane and like my mom's a flight attendant so for years i've always told her like if the phones come out like hide in the bathroom like i know you have a duty to protect the passengers but like you don't want to be the flight attendant that's like pulling down the dead dog from like you know wherever someone stashed it or whatever like and i do think that like oh you don't think we should help dogs ryan

No, I think we don't need them.

I just saw a whole fucking meltdown about dogs at restaurants.

So yes, I mean, there's no- Okay, I know.

Have you watched a dog pee on the floor inside a restaurant in L.A.

before?

I don't really think LA counts as an actual society or city.
