> they just more or less pretending to understand you. i feel boomers and gen x are too. my best friend growing up, we're both 38 now, was always saying how people suck at listening, they hear but don't listen because they can't stop the voice in their own head and pay attention to anyone else's words. i noticed that more and more over the years, like they'll nod their heads or pretend to be listening but immediately look away or switch topics or something, proving they weren't following the conversation.  it creates all sorts of chaos because normies can't transmit actually useful information for the fucking life of them.
