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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

It's the weirdest fucking thing ever.

Often times that's because the topic being discussed is something uninteresting enough that I'd rather just smile and nod instead of admit I don't know what an art deco is. I pretend I know what people are talking about just so they'll shut up sooner. The sooner the conversation ends the sooner I can stop pretending to be interested in art decos.

this is one of my biggest peeves of social interaction honestly. just the shit where people constantly say "yup, uh huh. mhm"

Sometimes it's also just funny to agree with shit you don't understand. So that's fair tbh.

Why did you think no one would ask you a question? Also just curious, what did you have for breakfast?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

because i've done it before. You can just go out in public and start screaming, nobody will do anything the vast majority of time.

I don't eat breakfast.

Makes sense. Thank you for sharing

The art deco period was a period of huge drug taking because it was before drugs were so restricted.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I was only half-listening to that.

That sounds so plausible, I don't even know anymore whether or not there's sarcasm involved in this thread.
