    Please re-read:

    Do you think “neurotypical” people love dealing with random people’s opinions and needs?

    Disliking a suit and tie isn’t some revelation to “normies”. You are not a radical for thinking that. In fact, all the little things that annoy you probably annoy other people too.

    This is a clue to easy small talk. Just say that something annoys you. “Oh man, this suit is murder in this heat.” It’s easy.

    Either the answer will be “Yeah man, heh” or “nah, I like it”. You have now successfully engaged in small talk.

    exist because of ridiculous social expectations

    This is called “taking other people’s opinions into account”. That’s what a society is. If you want your opinions listened to and acted on by others, you have to reciprocate.

    Do you think “neurotypical” people love dealing with random people’s opinions and needs? No, but they see the value in cooperating with others to get what they want. You are “expected” to wear clothes in public because I don’t know how often you bathe yourself. You are “expected” to not yell in public because if every rando yelled whenever they wanted, life would be more stressful.





  • Plus, as soon as the cars can drive themselves people will stop needing Uber in many cases.

    No parking? Just tell your car to go park on a street 10 blocks away.

    Drunk? Car drives itself while you sleep.

    Going to the airport? Car drops you off and returns home. Car also picks you up when you are back.

    This is combined with the fact that people will do more disgusting things in an Uber without the driver there. If you have ever driven for Uber, you know that 10% of people are trying to eat or drink in the car. They are going to spill and it’s going to end up like the back of a bus.



  • I think in one sense it can be good. Sometimes it is counterproductive to downvote someone from 1 to 0. I think this would prevent that, as the first downvote is probably the most important one.

    But I agree that making any data public will allow everyone to be categorized easily. “This person dislikes this content and likes other content.”

    Remember, you are giving this info to everyone. Mark Zuckerberg will be able to see what you like and dislike in all public votes.
