If the effects are so vanishingly small, then from your point of view (or
mine, or anyone's) they wouldn't be noticeable in the first place. Even if they
were noticeable, then when you sped up to go past me, you would go through
time slower, and things would even out.
Time dilation is irrelevant except at velocities near c, which includes all
of everyday life.
