Sure, why not. If OP really doesn’t want to small talk they can say that.

OP doesn’t mention they hate smalltalk. I just gave a suggestion of words that I thought would fit, but I also don’t know OP

Ok, now be quiet please.

How can you steal an advice that’s given to you?

What?? Imagine telling anyone to “be quiet now”. That’s plainly rude and won’t help

It’s important to be honest and polite. “I really need to focus on my work and be silent for a few hours a day. I’d be happy to chat on a coffee break, but I need to have some quiet time please”

So you’re saying that everyone that dislikes anime “just doesn’t get it” ? That’s a pretty silly take.

I’ve watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can’t do it anymore

Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

- Incredibly frustrating dialogue

I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can’t connect with the characters. It doesn’t need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

- Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you’re just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it’s still too much. I can’t sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue

Sure but in this case the judge is not censoring merely incorrect information. It’s written in the article that I assume you haven’t read

The judge ordered to remove the account of a militant group that attempted a coup after the party they support lost the election

This is exactly the kind of thing that should be censored. Anti democracy groups

I would miss Google maps too.

I’d love a cool gimmicky phone that flips open or whatever, and has a small screen or a really bad frame rate. Just to discourage me using YouTube and social media.

I just don’t know what I would use to navigate around
