fucking hate it. I'm here for the real depth of humanity, or to transmit and receive infodumping.

The rest of it is exhausting. Imagine if you had to manually discard every piece of meaningless information you had to listen to in small talk. I have to do that. It's annoying at the very least, and when you have to be in the room with people who LOVE small talk it's a nightmare.

But why do you think that you can't talk about things that interest you as small talk? Sharing interesting facts about stuff is absolutely small talk! You're saying you don't want to small talk, you want to info dump, but those aren't mutually exclusive!
