A quotation from Samuel Johnson
It is commonly observed, that when two Englishmen meet, their first talk is of the weather; they are in haste to tell each other, what each must already know, that it is hot or cold, bright or cloudy, windy or calm.
Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1758-06-24), The Idler, No. 11More about this quote: wist.info/johnson-samuel/20468…

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
One of the reasons why there are so few reasonable and pleasant conversationalists is that almost everyone concentrates on what he wishes to say, rather than attempting to give accurate and clear replies to what is said to him.
[Une des choses qui fait que l’on trouve si peu de gens qui paroissent raisonnables et agréables dans la conversation, c’est qu’il n’y a presque personne qui ne pense plutôt à ce qu’il veut dire qu’à répondre précisément à ce qu’on lui dit.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶139 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957), ¶139]Sourcing, notes, other translations: wist.info/la-rochefoucauld-fra…

I tried #SecondLife a couple of times, years ago, but one must still interact with strangers, particularly via #SmallTalk and #ChitChat.
No, thank you. Absolutely fucking not.
That's why I don't make or have friends or acquaintances in #MeatSpace.
🤢🤮
