  • Or… shudder… shut down the conversation with your words and body language.

    Oh god the anxiety of it all.

  • But public transport? Nobody wants to be there. You've got a goal and it's not socialising, it's getting somewhere. Maybe you're anxious about going to the doctor, maybe you're anticipating a shitty workday.

    Fully with you.

    It's annoying to have to talk to other people when you're trying to think about things.

    I would argue that a large chunk of the people you describe above are not “trying to think about things”, they’re just trying to get to point B. They’ve got a goal, after all.

    And again, research consistently shows that these interactions tend to be viewed much more positively after they happen than those same people expected them to be, and it holds for either side of the interaction.

    I’m sure I’m preaching to the atheists here in the comments. All those replying here all seem to be convinced already, and that’s fine.

    Guess I just think it’s interesting that those that would bother to come on the internet to talk to strangers are so convinced that it would be annoying to talk to strangers.

    People on the bus or train are just people.

  • Heh yeah that’s rough.

    Baffling that you didn’t switch seats though.

  • the [drunk & homeless are the] only ones who randomly talk to strangers most of the time

    I’m not going to question your experience too much, but it’s sad to me that this would be true.

    A random conversation in a random interaction with somebody you could have easily not talked to can be great fun.

  • I’m the guy who takes a shot at a random conversation on the plane.

    Doesn’t often turn into anything, but sometimes it’s a nice little glimpse into humanity.

    Guess I don’t know what trains you’re on that are so full of the drunk and homeless, but that sounds like a problem in its own right.

  • Not sure what’s changed in the meantime, but per the article I linked, group chats aren’t, personal chats can be, but aren’t by default, and are buried in the Ui.

    Also they use some non standard crypto for some reason.

  • It reads like you’re at least as mad about them being obese as you are about everything else.

    Or are you just using obese to mean bad?

    Might want to work on your messaging.

  • Yes—academic publishing has become a quantity engine—endlessly churning out papers that echo one another—more about survival than discovery. Many PhDs write for the CV, not the cosmos—speculating, recycling, or rephrasing ideas to stay afloat in the “publish or perish” tide—where innovation drowns quietly beneath the noise. /gpt

    Imagine how much worse it’s going to get as more and more is ai slop like the above.
