Some people have it worse - Lemmy.World

Actually fr! Studied a year there and I had no driver license back then… Which was fuckin painful as there was little to no other infrastructure! It was also fun to start uni with a 2 hour consultation about school shootings…

But the worst thing? They fucken start every conversation with a ‘how are you’ and look at you like you are boinkers if you say anything aside from ‘good’! Well I am not fuckin good at most times…

Lived in multiple eu countries as a contrast and its incomparably worse, while there is an amount of money I would go back temporarily but I would never settle down there

Wait, so y’all don’t have to lie and tell people you’re doing good? This is an American thing?
Yeah pretty much. Most of us don’t even ask.

Wow

That would save so much bullshit if I could just skip that stupid pleasantry.

I tell people how I’m doing now and then to throw people off. Feels sort of like a power play, but they usually seem to think “wow this guy is full of himself.”

They probably get annoyed because you didn’t say ‘fine’ and now they have to think about you to see if you’re kidding or not which should hopefully make them think about asking in the future

That’s the idea.

It doesn’t work most of the time. I got a talking to from one manager. That one kinda entertained me.
