>>19169734Very much this. The worst thing about talking to Westerners is small talk and how large of a role it plays in communication. I fucking hate small talk. Cut to the chase or fuck off, I don't want to hear "what's up?" for the XXth time a day. The funniest example of small talk is on the cop bodycam videos. Every single violent arrest begins with an otherwhat harmless small talk such as "hey, how are you?". You're a fucking fed, state your bussiness right away and don't play buddy-buddy with me because I won't either.
