 protests are loud. loud moments are great to talk about things with friends
 you just met. so are concerts, nobody can hear shit. plus, if you're lucky,
 maybe the singer will wing a song to you.

 you can only ever talk to people in a community, not the community itself.
 unless you are on mainstage.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 I mean, you're allowed to fight about stupid shit as long as you realize it's
 about something that doesn't matter. As long as people are working together

 A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your
 feelings.
 
 Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend.
 
 "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah
 blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT"
 
 that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and
 maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak.

 if you are upset about Biden and his presentation, remember that he's not
 talking to you. He's talking to suburban dads, to grandmas organizing
 potlucks, to analysts, to the media, to people who watch the news in the
 background 24/7 without paying attention.
 
 these people will hear him, and not you. they have no idea what to prepare
 for, or how soon.

 the second rule is you don't have to hang out with mortals. there are places
 you can go where they won't find you, except by accident, and then you just go
 somewhere else.

 Part of the reason I like Reddit is because you can have multiple different
 conversations about the same topic at once.
