    Yup, I really admire the ability for the older generations ability to just chit chat. Don’t see it with younger generations. People act like they’re royalty and only shall be spoken too when it’s beneficial for them.

      I absolutely can drone on for days if need be, but I do not want to because it’s actively depressing to communicate casually and walk on egg shells instead of talking about anything that really matters like philosophy, politics, Linux, media and public transport (both from a societal and engineering perspective - like what’s your favourite airbus?)

      Why would I ever engage in this waste of oxygen “chit-chatting” is beyond me. I have no need to socialize in this manner.

      I have heard from a few teachers it’s a phone thing. Like there are large groups of young people who don’t read faces or body language well because they haven’t done it as much as the pre-iphone generations.
