    Asking someone you love “How was your day?” is a meaningful question. Small talk is bullshit time wasting between randos or acquaintances.

      “Lovely weather today, isn’t it?”

      “Yeah, makes me feel like picnics,”

      is expressing feelings to each other, affirming a shared worldview in which sunny weather is good, and affirming the value of each others’ feelings and potential plans.

      Just because the real meaning is hidden, doesn’t negate the value.
