Hence, why the combination of multiple different ideas, to give a sorta stabilized view of your [context, but pronounced "considerations"] the longer your thoughts, the more comprehensive your argument, but you're likely to reach the end of your statement and hear nothing back but a "... yeah, true though" that's... not ideal. I used to post a lot on conservative subreddits because they used to listen to what you're saying and respond logically. If you very carefully step through the assumptions of their positions, taking care to highlight or EMPHASIZE parts of your arguments that you're planning on using later, you can often highlight the contradictions in their thoughts. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2823 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-1364 lawful good ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2824 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── @user-576 the value proposition of a political party is just as you described - we ask for shit, they tell us who can get it done.

We can process massive amounts of data and we're using it to make NFTs and blockchain nonsense. We could learn SO MUCH ABOUT EACH OTHER. enter, google, with a big wad of cash hey how about you stay outta our business yeah? ......... okay fine BUT ONLY if you keep bribing us for eternity. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2826 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── why yes, I am just talking to myself. how did you guess? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2827 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── you don't have to listen to me I am just talking to myself. shouting into the wind. why are you shouting, little one? because it's LOUD out here. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2828 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: scary │ └──────────────────────┘ the animals are afraid. they can hear it just the same as you do, and they don't understand it but you do I bet if enough birds saw us working hard to fix things, outside, physically, with our bodies, in a way that a bird might understand, then perhaps things will get solved. -- I don't hear noises when things talk. I hear "eat me" when the rice-cooker is done, I hear "WOW" when a car horns and "wash-ing-wash-ing" from my dishwasher. my cats peaks for "FOOD" because I offer "food for her" but if I thought of it as "feeding her" she'd probably hear "FEED" then other times I hear "moooom. I'm scared. why!?" and I sing her a song about how it's going to be alright. the poor thing is lonelier than me. at least I have you, computer-tube. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
