    Ideally, yes, but there is a time and a place for everything. But a catchphrase for those who buy surveillance communications devices from Google is easier. That way I can save my my pleasant conversations to situations that will actually be pleasant.

      Yeah, it’s easier. Being mentally lazy is always much easier.

      Reality is hard, situations are complex, nuance exists. You throw all of that out the window when your worldview is a series of memes and catchphrases.

      Just because it is popular on social media doesn’t that mean it’s the way to be.

        But its not mentally lazy to place people into categories of stereotypes from hardly any interaction at all?

        Situations are complex, but people are not complex? You don’t throw that out the window when you judge people from your own prejudices?

        Just because it is popular on social media doesn’t mean it’s the way to be.
