what i want is for you to admit defeat on the point that people showing their teeth while happy is a specifically american cultural export

also my argument wasnt really a historical one, the american teeth smile did come from original places but i was saying the universality of the accepted teeth smile is because of world mass media.

in previous centuries they had surprisingly vicious backlashes against the toothed smile

they really are all obsessed with the notion that their wfh employees are half-assing it and collecting 2-3 simultaneous paychecks



we will replace the woke millenials who are quiet quitting with 30-50 feral ai chathogs!

“use chat gpt to increase your productivity” is such a funny juxtaposition against “I think a lot of people are half assing it around here “

maybe but there are a lot of people out there who think that smiling is just sort of baring your teeth in a grimace, like the smiling through the pain meme guy

edit: what's the deal with botox anyway I haven't seen anyone get it done and come out looking better than if they hadn't, just weird puffy cheeks and upside-down smiles

like most cosmetic procedures, you have definitely seen it a lot of times and not realized, because those ones were done well

constantly beaming a fake-rear end toothy smile 24/7 whether you're genuinely loving happy or not is 2000% an american cultural export and it fuckin sucks

this is distinct from bob dobb's argument, which is dumb and wrong

i mean bob dobbs is definitely wrong but all these images could be threat displays that you are recontextualising anachronistically

but they’re not, just saying if bob wanted to have an Internet Argument that would be a possible defence

if an american responds to "how's it going" with "it's going" that means "I want to loving die"

if they respond with "oh i'm great thanks for asking and how are you?!" they mean "hello, I exist and acknowledge that you also exist, please say the correct response to conclude this interaction"

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

As a non neurotypical dude it took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that nobody was ever actually going to tell me how it's going, and they weren't being rude, it's just What You Do to have a little greeting exchange

the most horrible thing about the whole 'hows it going' ritual is that even the question of whether you should respond, respond and ask the same, or just ask the same, or not even acknowledge the question is so intensely regional and people take offense if you do it the wrong way

like there's parts of the us where 'heyhowaya' is a normal greeting that people aren't even supposed to respond to.
other places really expect you to answer 'fine thank you, and you?' or something like that.
in polite society in the uk you're supposed to respond to 'how do you do' with 'how do you do'

i have absolutely no problem with responding with the expected formula even if its an insincere 'fine, thank you', but these regional differences make it way too difficult to know what the desired response is.

what im saying is humans should be like apis and just respond with 200 without any other formulations needed
