    Arguing to change the person’s mind is useless.
    Arguing to create another opinion for people stumbling over a post so shitty takes are not standing there unchallenged is totally worth it imho.

    No need to go into a 20 comment deep bad faith argument - but if there’s no comment calling out a shitty take then that’s totally something I do think makes sense

    I’ve been staying away from making comments when I am able to resist that urge.

    All I’m going to say is, go vote.

    I’m learning to walk away when I run out of funny things to say

    I’m fuming. It’s always the same people that get cheers and champaign. Respect the hard work of my vanity dammit!

    I’ve met one person, ever, who has been willing to change their mind about politics based on conversation. Even better, though both of our tempers rose at various points, the tone remained largely civil.

    That person is the most rational person I’ve ever met and, though I’m not sure the feeling is mutual, I consider them my best friend.

    Civilised societies - “Never bring up politics or religion in conversation, you’ll never, ever change someone’s mind and it always ends badly”

    Americans for some reason - “Hold my high fructose corn syrup!”

          The holiday special was amazing.

          (Maybe not in a good way, but it was amazing.)
