I tell jokes. I don't really do small talk. But, yes most conversations are deeply personal and deeply philosophical. I have lots of great friends, a lovely wife, a good job and fantastic kids. So yes, you can do just fine with almost no small talk. Become yourself, not what some unimaginative poster on the internet desperate for validation of their opinions thinks people should or shouldn't become.
Quantum physics, theoretical alien biology, the alleged obsolescence of battleships... Do these all count as small talk? Because this is the stuff my wife talks about with me.
Alleged? Oh man, let me just get out my modern day naval warfare mini figs, and the modern rulebook (do you like 2e or 3e?), and let's see your battleships take on my missile destroyers! It is ON, Farragut!
Absofuckinglutely. This is what I do, and what she does, though our methods of exploration vary.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it looks like for me
Plan...?
I love small talk. It's just noises that communicate emotion or very basic information, and it has a script!
I think no matter what we do most of the things are outoff our control
