Sertraline is an antidepressant. I've taken it. It worked fairly well for me. That said, if I told someone I was upping my dose and they said "that's art deco," I would assume they were referencing Sylvia Plath and L'Ennui via The Great Gatsby, and I would be impressed and agree.

And then I would be amused at their correct assumption that I, an LGBT white woman with depression, have familiarity with Sylvia Plath, and I would be impressed with their wit.

All that to say, you can just say anything, and sometimes you'll get lucky.

    She probably agreed because that is at least a seamless way of "acknowledging" some totally incomprehensible bullshit that a stranger just told her.

    Not that I see how the sertraline dosage even came up, to be fair.

    You'd be surprised what people will tell you. Although usually it's the customer and not the employee

    Tbf, being told by a stranger that they are upping their dosage un-prompted is itself some totally incomprehensible bullshit. Too many of the people that do this will actually accept any response that isn't a direct attack on or distraction from their personal narrative.

    Art deco is an architectural style from the 1920s, for the curious but lazy.

    A barista is a usually tippable service worker of moderate status who is trained to produce a slightly better tier of coffee and related beverages, for the curious but lazy.

    I mean, he /could/ be right. He probably isn't but he could be.

    Nano technology doesn't refer exclusively to like nano robots it could also just be infused with nano particles of something.

    I feel like I would just agree because I would assume that person is being weird and wouldn’t want to interact any longer than necessary.

    Please don't, I'm not ready for new slang. I barely had a grasp on old slang.

    As an old, learning the new slang is a wonderful chance to learn words of power that will make everyone around you flinch under their force.

    Utter a "that's bussin for real," and watch those around you fall to their knees, and add a "poggers" to hear them wail and grind their teeth. Sprinkle a "skibidi" in to really drive things home.

    You're missing out on true power here.

    The meaning doesn't matter
    If it's only idle chatter
    Of a transcendental kind -
    And everyone will say
    As you walk your mystic way,
    "If this young man expresses himself
    In terms too deep for me
    Then what a very singularly deep young man
    This deep young man must be!"

    Do you suppose most may only be half or quarter-reading too?

    I mean if you give a barista a hard time in conversation, what are they going to do besides consider you a fucking weirdo?

    "that's so art deco" "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS"

    if you act weird people will stop talking to you, welcome to this world
