  • I find that saying something like, “My ears seem to be moving faster than my brain today. Can we try this another time?” is a good way to indicate you’re interested in learning what they’re saying while acknowledging you’re having a hard time comprehending it at that moment.

    Most people understand that our brains shut off sometimes; “the lights are on, but nobody’s home.” Most people also know good and well when someone doesn’t understand something. Acknowledging these human traits may be uncomfortable, but it’s better than trying to lie to someone who knows better.

    Steam is more consumer friendly than GoG because it offers Linux compatibility and lets the customer choose whether they want DRM.

    All physical media also comes with a license.

    Men are encouraged to be more in touch with their emotions, but aren’t given a safe place to explore them. Men-only communities should be just as accepted as women-only communities.

    “Yes, all black people” is just as valid an opinion as “yes, all men” for all of the same reasons.

    The US is just as progressive as the rest of the world when it comes to trans athletes playing women’s sports (no country allows trans athletes to compete in women’s sports).

    US gun control legislation has its roots in civil rights and class consciousness. Early gun control legislation was intended to directly target groups of marginalized people arming themselves against a tyrannical police force and that’s still its main intent.

    “Political violence” is passing laws that harm people, not punching someone because they voted for the other guy.
