    On Reddit if you post anything opposite the hive mind it goes off the rails. If they are talking turkey for thanksgiving and you post ham, the reaction was that as if you murdered their only child.

    Here people just ask questions and converse like they normally would in the real world.

      The boar’s head in hand bring I,
      Bedeck’d with bays and rosemary.
      I pray you, my masters, be merry
      Quot estis in convivio
      Caput apri defero
      Reddens laudes Domino

      I credit my 12 years on reddit with my ability to create airtight defenses towards anything in my daily life.

        Yeah but then you risk looking like you’ve had too many conversations with difficult 12 yr olds among your peers and start missing the overall points of the conversation. Reddit fighting lacks this emotional intelligence. It’s not a good look on adults in adult conversations where not every conversation is a defence but listening. And sometimes it’s just venting where a person might not even be in the right but that’s not what that conversation is about. RL is not about ‘winning’ a conversation as it is on Reddit.

          Sure, if you apply it to literally everything, but I meant that it comes in handy when I’m being questioned. The joys of not fitting a stereotype for senior roles in the workplace 🐸
