Small talk != big talk
I would even say: Big talk > small talk
Hi honey did you see today’s shitposts memes?
My partner and I both understand that free will doesn't exist but it's better for everyone if we pretend it does. And yes, a lot of our conversations are a bit like that.
Free will is the choice. Just because "particles have rules, you're made of particles" doesn't mean you didn't have a choice. It's just that the thing we've been calling "free will" is a little different than we thought.
Silence isn't a crime you know...it's actually pretty great.
got a neighbor can't control his motor mouth. last time he came to my door i said 'what the fuck do you want' and closed/locked the door. not too bright. he yelled through the door, 'I only want to talk'. hahaha fuck off
Pretty much yeah.
Spouse and I ponder the mysteries of life and the universe while we’re cuddling.
There is nothing wrong with silence, also my partner and I always have something to talk about that isn't small talk. We have been together for 22 yrs. We have a lifetimes worth of shared experiences to converse about.
So this person thinks they can choose small talk? curious.
That sounds great, actually
I mean You can hate small talk with strangers and co workers but still enjoy small talk with your partner
Daily life is what daily life is all about.
I do think I'd potentially be happier with a partner who I could speak philosophy and politics with, but if we couldn't also function simply navigating running a household and raising our family, then we really couldn't be anything more than friends with benefits long term. Not that that would be a bad thing. It just depends on how you want to live your life, and whether you value a stable partnership over firey romance.
Some people are lucky enough to have a partner that fulfills the entirety of their intellectual, intimate, familial and financial needs, but such people are few and far between I'm sure!
Bold of you to assume I can form and maintain a relationship.
Yes.
I mean yeah kind of. I like having these kinds of conversations far more than boilerplate smalltalk.
Why the fuck does everyone want to be in sustained meaningful relationships?
Because relatedness is a fundamental psychological need and sustained meaningful relationships are the best way to achieve that
I don't think it matters.
I honestly don't think it's a meaningful question.
