    I get you’re taking the piss, but isn’t work under the western neoliberal service economy especially isolating? Not many people are working closely with a consistent set of people who all live in the same local area. Not saying you shouldn’t socialize with people at work though, please do that. Fight the atomizing forces of capital.

      Me saying I don’t feel the need to probably wasn’t how I meant to word it. If I was to use an analogy it’s like how sometimes you might not get the urge to eat but you haven’t eaten anything for a day so know you should. I don’t feel the hungry so mostly do so out of recognizing I should or out of service to others since I know not everyone has the same situational benefits I do.

      Edit: I think my other reply to the comment above touches upon what you say here btw, outside of work meetings and occasionally going onsite to some company we have zero downtown to just interact unless it’s a slow day or us shitposting in a GC we have during tickets.
