FEDIVERSE NEWS ALERT
@TheMadPirate @icedquinn I think there is a pretty good reason why so many people would rather use self-checkout lanes. People would rather interact with a machine than someone giving out fake smiles.
@meeper It's not just the corporate world. I've seen ordinary people who are sensitive to body language. Then again, those are the people who are extremely sensitive to you being slightly mean to them.
@TheMadPirate @icedquinn Some managers are pretty laid-back depending on the job. Customers are unpredictable and will try to search for a single flaw in their service quality in order to report it to the manager/corporate so they can get a free meal or a discounted item.
@TheMadPirate @icedquinn I'm talking about to customers, not the manager.
@TheMadPirate @icedquinn Society expects you to act nice to anyone who isn't a complete asshole or downright evil. That includes giving out body language that implies compassion and gratitude, so you are expected to fake body language sometimes. Anyone who has ever worked in fast food or retail can tell you this.
@TheMadPirate @icedquinn The problem with most autists is that they don't know how to control their own body language.
@icedquinn Yes.
I really hate the whole concept of body language. It's just basically you unconsciously expressing yourself and even then, it doesn't paint an accurate picture of what you are truly thinking or feeling. Some people are oblivious to it while others are extremely sensitive to it.
When I was a kid, I got in trouble multiple times for "displaying inappropriate body language to teachers" and I never knew what I did wrong.
If you read about most people who make it past 100 (centennials) you'll fine people who just eat fish and chips or who don't exercise other than walking or short bike rides or who smoke. Meanwhile most marathon runners don't make it to 80 (heavy intake and burn of energy reduces your lifespan a bit).
Living to 100 is probably pure genetic lottery. There's nothing you can do to get you there, and there probably aren't a lot of them because there's zero evolutionary pressure that benefits humans for living that long.
@icedquinn Okay RFK got one thing wrong. It's that the solution to seed oils isn't beef tallow. Coconut oil blows both seed oils and beef tallow out of the water.
