Unless they're logistical, and then they're just passing information - they're hardly conversational. To me, a conversation is a back-and-forth. It needs to have change, people need to consider, to argue their ideas, to wander through thoughts, to share emotions, and / or to resolve conflict, whether internal or external. It can have some of those, all of those, or none of those, but that's what comes to my mind.

In my dream, a meteor fell from the sky and punched a hole right through several parts of this ship, leaving the rest essentially unscathed. Primarily? The command deck, navigations, and communications. The people aboard the ship were given a crucial moment to decide what to do with their lives, and the guy who said "let's go fight the jerries" was promptly thrown overboard. It was mostly a first-person dream, from the perspective of a mind-reading kraken watching from below. Though I often felt like a sailor, so perhaps a shape shifting mind reading kraken watching from wherever was most convenient. The ship floated by for some time, not knowing where it was going nor where it intended to be, until one day it came across another floundering in the dark. This ship was drowning, or so it seemed to the tentacles below, and our first ship dutifully did it's part and saved what it could. The people of that ship were significantly more battlehardened, having lost their war against their foe, and so they attempted to gain control of the ship upon getting settled. They were promptly thrown overboard. More snacks for me... Then, the ship came to port. A great port of concrete and metal, it inched up the rock face and hugged tight to the land. Then the dream did veer as dreams often do, and I've forgotten most of what my point of view cared for and worked toward. But then I stood too close to a nuclear engine or something and got sick and died. It was weird, idk what's up with that. Anyway dreams are like that I guess, keep dreaming until you either die or are kicked out by your host who doesn't agree with your actions to such a degree that they're irreconcilable with their own intentions. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── -> file: fediverse/5129 @user-1695 I am a strange person, which is why I live in the strange city for strange people. though recently it's gotten a lot more liberal.

And if someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others. But that's rare. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── -> file: messages/189 If one side aligns themselves toward truth and righteousness, then those who oppose them must necessarily utilize the opposite in their intentions. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── -> file: messages/176 Before death, there is a last for everything.

The hardest part is the beginning - once the ball is rolling, we may truly shine. there is no government nor circle of autocrats who may resist the will of an impassioned people. So long as the military does not deny us our right to organize ourselves as we will, according to the constitution they swore to uphold (which is now in peril, I might add), nothing can contain us. no acts of god nor capital shall prevent our ascension. They will try, and it'll be just another thing that we have to handle. But we can take care of each other. For we are good, and we are kind, and we are cooperative. And so, we cannot be overcome. ... just watch out for those who prey on goodness, kindness, and cooperation.

Now, with our unleaded gasoline, the people who were upset that lead was being aerosolized en masse are no longer in opposition to gasoline usage.
