Well yes, but also no.

The term pupil is used to describe an area that exists inside a three dimensional space, the eye, and while that space may not have anything that reflects light, it does contain something. The surface of the eye, known as the lens, and the liquid or ‘jelly’ that is contained inside the eye. So that area that is light reflective material would include the whites and the iris, but the inside of the eye is not just empty space. If it was, your eye would collapse like an uninflated beach ball, and you wouldn’t see very much at all. Arguably the term pupil is used to refer to the non-reflective area of the eye bordered by the iris and containing the lens.

The key to understanding is finishing the sentence.

“I hate small talk… with people I have no reason to talk to and don’t care about.”

I love my partner, and even when it’s small talk I can listen all day, just to hear their voice and learn a little more about them, to feel closer to the person I married in many small ways.

But I don’t care about what Jim at the laundry mat did last weekend, or which machine he thinks makes socks dry faster.

So they found 4chan?

Can you imagine that workplace environment though?

"Hey boss, I’m leaving for that 2 weeks paid training on how to catfish a bird my height and get it pregnant with a syringe. "

They’ll stop beating that dead horse when it stops spitting out money

Sounds like Nazi Germany to me. Granted I may not have a nuanced understanding of the economic system used by the Nazi party at that time.

True, it isn’t a milsim. It’s a game in the milsim style, as I said. And not being a very realistic depiction is explicitly why I enjoy the fantasy of the game, but not the reality of warfare.
