"Remember, remember the 5th of November,
And travel to your polling spot.
I see no reason, why your voting season,
Should ever be forgot."

Is there a word for the phenomenon where you develop a kind of familiarity or "friendship" with people you see every day but have not met or talked to? For example during my commute to and from work I may see a person or two that I see quite frequently but I have never talked to them but I feel familiar to them. Like an unspoken friendship but they are total strangers. Like you mentally/emotionally acknowledge their familiar existence?

I would call that a "nodding friendship".

This is how we know the flat-earthers are totally incorrect. Never mind that they need a different theory of planetary accretion that squares with the facts we already know...

Yes! I have one on my bus. Nice guy. Very smiley. He has a mobility scooter and I basically rate the bus drivers on how they treat him now. Pleased to say that even the worst ones score pretty highly, but someone buy a goddamn drink for the dude who got off the bus, lowered the ramp, then walked to the back of the queue where he was to escort him onto the bus first. That gave me goddamn hope for humanity.
