Most people are only half-listening

Sertraline is an antidepressant. I've taken it. It worked fairly well for me. That said, if I told someone I was upping my dose and they said "that's art deco," I would assume they were referencing Sylvia Plath and L'Ennui via The Great Gatsby, and I would be impressed and agree.

And then I would be amused at their correct assumption that I, an LGBT white woman with depression, have familiarity with Sylvia Plath, and I would be impressed with their wit.

All that to say, you can just say anything, and sometimes you'll get lucky.

She probably agreed because that is at least a seamless way of "acknowledging" some totally incomprehensible bullshit that a stranger just told her.

Not that I see how the sertraline dosage even came up, to be fair.

sertraline is an antidepressant, for the curious but lazy.

I was buying some edibles a few weeks ago and the guy behind the counter told me this cheap brand was infused with "nano technology." I laughed a hearty laugh and replied, "I'm sorry, did you just say those are infused with nano technology?" He looked me right in the eye and said, "yes." I bought the $6, 'nano technology infused' edibles lol!

I feel like I would just agree because I would assume that person is being weird and wouldn’t want to interact any longer than necessary.

Skibidi is so cromulent, brosef.

Ha, what a paycheck hexadecimal!

The meaning doesn't matter
If it's only idle chatter
Of a transcendental kind -
And everyone will say
As you walk your mystic way,
"If this young man expresses himself
In terms too deep for me
Then what a very singularly deep young man
This deep young man must be!"

You Zarkin' Frood!

I dont have a barista....

Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?

I mean if you give a barista a hard time in conversation, what are they going to do besides consider you a fucking weirdo?

"that's so art deco" "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS"

if you act weird people will stop talking to you, welcome to this world

Sorry, what?

can confirm, you can just say things, and nobody will ask you any questions.

It's the weirdest fucking thing ever.

As a coffee enthusiast and probably a part-time barista some time in the future, I love how baristas are the most pretentious humans people can think of

Considering it could be a Lana Del ray reference, aka melodramatic central, I see the through line.
