is there anything worthwhile without an element of danger? stay dangerous

[6ɪx✦ @ok6ixx]

So my dad has been ending every phone call with "stay dangerous" instead of "goodbye" for like six months now. We all thought he was just being a weird dad. Turns out he's been mishearing the ending of a podcast he listens to. The host says "stay curious" but my dad is slightly deaf in one ear. He's been going around telling his coworkers, my grandmother, and apparently his DOCTOR to "stay dangerous" this entire time. My mom only found out because his doctor called to check if everything was okay at home. My dad has now decided he likes his version better and refuses to stop. Yesterday he told a nun to stay dangerous.

everyones tweets are best and most sincere from 0-5000 followers. very few can stay true to themselves after that

this is like a real and interesting thing passed through multiple layers of flanderization and goodharting (many such cases). it's exciting to understand that people have so much more freedom in conversation than they think they do, and, when the real thing isn't conveyed with nuance it becomes "top 5 conversational hacks to skip the small talk and get real" instead of a real education in the skill of building rapport, following aliveness, cultivating interest in and curiosity about other people, playfully increasing vulnerability

people who want to skip the small talk are people who aren't willing to do the work of actually encountering another person and meeting them where they are. it's exactly analogous to wanting to skip foreplay. and it's a skill issue. you can already have a lot of fun with small talk if you just git gud!
