Can i select "only talk to me if you have interesting things to say"?

I've had some enjoyable convos with drivers, but I've also been stuck in conversations about the weather or other banal topics.

    I don't know what kind of vibe I'm giving off, but I always seem to get the "Deepstate, amiright?!" drivers. Okay, that's a lie... I do know my vibe... I live in a Texas suburb and I'm a cishet white guy who wears cargo shorts and dadcaps and likes sports.

    I hate it, but still, this person is taking me somewhere I need to be so I want to be nice, but I can't quite bring myself to pretend to agree. Unfortunately, a polite "Oh, I'm not sure I'm sold on that" just gets them helpfully trying to probe, "so why would Kamala do a pizzagate if she weren't a lizard person?"

    Fuck me, I need some tattoos.

    Maybe you can try a slightly firmer disagreement statement immediately followed by a change of topic before he can respond. Like driver: "Deepstate, amiright?!" You: "Nah, that's not the reality of the situation, but on the other hand deep dish pizza is something i can really get behind. Do you like deep dish pizza?"

    Just need to spice up the conversation.

    Me: "so what is your stance: knotted canine cocks, or barbed felines? Because for me I love a big bulbous knot, but a big kitty that knows how to work it can make me leave claw marks on the bed frame"

    Driver: accelerating at full-throttle to make this trip end as fast as possible

    Me: "but the sweet spot is hybrids, I mean why settle for one when you can have both, y'know?"

    Driver: bails out of the car

    Me: "hehehe, works every time"
