It’s really hard for me to meet people when it’s like “what do you do” and I answer and they say “how is that” and I answer and then they ask where I’m from and then say it’s rainy.
I don’t think people hate small talk so much as they hate it when people are bad at small talk. A lot of awkward people will barrage you with questions and you don’t even get the opportunity to ask them the question back because they just keep peppering you.

The world really isn’t built for people on the outside of the bell curve. I have a 4’10" mom and a 6’7" ex and they had so many things they complained about that I never even thought about because I’m 5’6", so the normalest height possible. Your solutions make sense

Genuinely this is something you should see a doctor about. A calf cramp once in a while doesn’t say that much about underlying pathology but if your jaw is cramping to that extent you should talk to someone. There are treatments for TMJ disfunction.

I saw a mosquito in my vicinity recently so I gotta do what I gotta do

You’ve never gotten a charley horse? It’s not at all like a period cramp, very sudden and exquisitely painful, and quickly resolved.

Can we please not spread misinformation. Mg=relaxation and K+=contraction is simplistic. Both are needed.

YES flex that foot! Just grab it with your hands and dorsiflex it hard, and it resolves quickly.

Not a problem. I was just thinking you’re an interesting person with a fount of information. Nothing wrong with not wanting to chat with a stranger. I’ll be around if you change your mind but no pressure ofc.

I’m in the US but I’ve been looking into educating myself more about financial institutions and that’s why I was so curious. Plus you sounded really well-informed and I’m very close to Canada geographically and thinking about moving there so I need to learn all I can before I make that decision.

Lots to unpack here. This is the big thing at the moment and I’d like to know what I can. Would you be willing to talk on the phone at some point? I’ve been going through something hard and I don’t want to cry about it, but I think it would help a lot if someone smart and passionate in a subject I know little about ranted at me. Not like a formal interview, just a talk

This is absolutely fascinating. Still a bit dense ngl lol. It will take me some time to work through, I feel bad I’m not giving your write-up the time it deserves. Wondering, what would be your ideal solution? You basically wrote an entire essay for me and I’m half in love with you now. Talk my ear off about it anytime

Bless you for responding sincerely, I appreciate that so much. I apologize if most of it has gone over my head but is there a movement to detach yourselves from the US?

I have been so in my own head lately and focused on my field of study that I almost feel like an alien. What does this mean in practical terms, how much is my data available to entities I’ve never heard of, can you tell me in practical terms what that means for me/the average person?

Asking out of pure curiosity–are you Canadian or a tech guy? Is Canada really reliant on the US?
