Teflon Don, even semen won’t stick to him.

He’s on third.

Maybe?

Yes.

The statement in your posted image frames the interaction in question (“small talk”) as purely transactional. I am working inside that context. You seem to be drawing “understanding” from some external context which has not been presented here.

people who value small talk assume every stranger is someone to value and attempt to connect with

Strictly based on OP, people who value small talk assume every stranger is someone who needs to be assessed as a possible threat, and must “prove that we can get along”. They might be someone to value and attempt to connect with, but that is indeterminate until tested. The small talk is the test.

well… fuck.

Birdwatching is dull.

Not that there’s anything wrong with a little dullness. If watching tiny reptiles go bob’ bob’ bob’in along helps you relax, that’s cool.

So… if you don’t live your life automatically assuming that every stranger is a threat, you don’t waste time and effort with small talk.

Rush?

Especially bored infantry.

The floss holder is more compact, easily portable, and doesn’t require recharging.

Yeah with the disposable ones you throw away a lot of plastic handles. Also with the ones I’ve used the floss often pulls loose.

Floss holders are cheap and make it a lot easier to reach the teeth in the back:

Plus you use less floss, and save your fingers.
