I didn't see a single sentence in the article-- explicit or implicit-- that made me think the author would find something wrong with someone who doesn't feel the need to utilize such a space.
In fact I'm having a hard time figuring out what could have prompted you to write that sentence.
Digression-- for some reason it reminds me of a friend of mine who said when they moved into an apartment the landlord who was insistent about never putting noodles down the drain of the sink. My friend agreed he would never do that. Then one day when there was a leak in the kitchen sink he called the landlord, who immediately yelled back, "You didn't put any noodles down there, did you?" He assured the landlord that indeed, he had not put any noodles down the drain to cause the leak.
Anyway, I never found out what exactly happened with noodles and drains to cause his landlord to start any and all conversations with that directive. (It was an apartment complex near a university, so the equation most likely involves ramen plus a group of drunk college students.)
- irrational 5y agoThis article? No, but I see the same sentiment being expressed in lots of other articles that do say that there is something wrong with you if you don't want to sit around and just talk.
- jancsika 5y agoIn other words-- you'd prefer those other articles be written more like this one?
