Have you ever tried this? Just turn and walk away, trust it’s hard at first, but you do this 3 times and no one will lock you into small talk again. They’ll just do a little shrug and walk away as well

I’ve always been lucky, filling out forms has always been something I can hyper focus on, I know it doesn’t make any sense, but I guess I just really like putting pencil to paper and seeing my own handwriting

Gonna post this right here, i don’t ask for medical help online, trust the vet and I are working on a solution, appreciate the guesses

Looking at this today, You sound like you haven’t actually looked into the history of Germany during the Nazi occupation and how normal life worked back then. Please actually read and get back to me when you recognize concepts such as the gestapo and the reality of friends and family

They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933‑45 by Milton Mayer

I’ve already told you. Fear, the one emotion that overrides logic. You can’t call someone stupid for falling into an ideology they were raised around, fed by fear and propaganda. It’s not intelligence that fails first, it’s empathy., and you sure, have failed intelligence. Some day far in the future your take that seems so logical to you will be labeled as barbaric and idiotic. I bet you.

This is delusional, but it is popular, you sir, have no ability for empathy for your enemies.

Never said Nazis were right. I said calling anyone an idiot isn’t understanding, it’s lazy. People don’t just wake up evil; they get shaped by fear, ignorance, and propaganda. Pretending it’s just about “stupidity” is how you avoid learning from History

No offense but it sounds like your are completely at a 1, if you only see idiocy then I don’t see understanding at all.

More like fear

I think if you don’t feel safe at that point, it’s less of a debate and more of a situation that you should feel. No shame in leaving

So a general view I’m seeing here is, “sure if it remains civil”, what if it gets tense? These are tough issues after all. How far do you think you can tip that scale before it becomes an argument? I would agree that yes once name calling happens we have stopped debating and started arguing.

Let’s say one on one, and your opponent is no better than the average Joe, a 6, he will hear out your arguments but will you probably won’t be changing his mind. He will let you speak without interrupting if you give him the same courtesy.

Who says we bought it? Also this was in response to the shit head who said I should break off my marriage, fuck them

Nope, learn to separate art from the artist you cretin.

Nah lol she really doesn’t like the big AI push that windows is doing and suggested Linux, NGL I was surprised and a little proud

She asked me to?

Shes the only one in the house with nvidia, which tbf, has been just perfect for her needs up to this point. I’m just worried what might happen when i finally get her a new motherboard (long story short, it was my old one, i was splicing a 500ft ethernet cable, and didn’t realize 250 ft away the other end was still plugged in)

Ah that’s very unfortunate

Perfect system until you run out of tape

I wouldnt say that, I have been on and off with Linux, never a main rig setup, but my most recent stuff is spending hours trying to get certain things to run on my steam deck which I was told absolutely could not run on my steam deck (I showed them)

I would get so much shit for this 😂 I’m tempted
