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.
Tbf, being told by a stranger that they are upping their dosage un-prompted is itself some totally incomprehensible bullshit. Too many of the people that do this will actually accept any response that isn't a direct attack on or distraction from their personal narrative.
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!
It doesn't surprise me to learn that the guy at the weed shop doesn't know WTF he's talking about.
Nobody at the dispensary knows anything about marijuana. You just get the same canned responses with every question.
This is how the gray goo end of the world happens. Nano tech infused weed brownies.
I mean, he /could/ be right. He probably isn't but he could be.
Nano technology doesn't refer exclusively to like nano robots it could also just be infused with nano particles of something.
Got that billy gates up in ya
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.
I agree with you
Ha gottem!!
🏆 We have a winner! 🏆
Skibidi is so cromulent, brosef.
Please don't, I'm not ready for new slang. I barely had a grasp on old slang.
As an old, learning the new slang is a wonderful chance to learn words of power that will make everyone around you flinch under their force.
Utter a "that's bussin for real," and watch those around you fall to their knees, and add a "poggers" to hear them wail and grind their teeth. Sprinkle a "skibidi" in to really drive things home.
You're missing out on true power here.
Cromulent, adjective - Acceptable, adequate, satisfactory.
cromulent has interestingly been around since 1996, courtesy of the Simpsons.
I'd never heard the word "embiggen" until I moved to Springfield.
Wasn't cromulent in Blackadder tho? And surely that was before 96? Or am I just missing the relative age of things again?
Fleep, my noser.
Ha, what a paycheck hexadecimal!
I would like to appoint you my Officer of All New Expressions
Another farm steward to the center line and who's the wiser? 👍
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!"What does it reference?
breh you're supposed to be a writer, not a guy offering lotion to someone in a hole!
:D
Gilbert and Sullivan. "Patience; or Bunthorne's Bride"
It's a comic opera / musical
You Zarkin' Frood!
How very covalent of you!
I dont have a barista....
Ask your Sommelier then
My sommelier has no barrista either.
That's so art deco
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
Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?
I agree.
Sorry, what?
The art deco period was a period of huge drug taking because it was before drugs were so restricted.
That sounds so plausible, I don't even know anymore whether or not there's sarcasm involved in this thread.
I was only half-listening to that.
can confirm, you can just say things, and nobody will ask you any questions.
It's the weirdest fucking thing ever.
That's because they don't care about you enough to even bother.
Hard to swallow pill.
That’s because they don’t care about you enough to even bother.
exactly! I don't know why people even pretend like others care. There's no point in giving a shit about something if you're the only one that gives a shit about it, in a collective group environment.
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.
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
thank you fellow human. this commentary actually made me feel more connected to humanity.
signed, a guy in portland
Considering it could be a Lana Del ray reference, aka melodramatic central, I see the through line.
“My barista “
Eh, it's common terminology though --- my doctor, my hairdresser, my mechanic, my lawyer. Doesn't imply a class structure IMHO.
Would you prefer "the coffee wench"?
Bean Maiden, please.
bean-squeezer
Yes!
actually yes.
huzzah!
the chick/dude at the coffeeorium works.
You're right. They definitely should have taken the time to type out "The individual working at the coffee shop who filled my order" to avoid triggering people who have nothing better to do than get angry at the internet.
"The waitress"
