It's been a long day so I don't know how I'm coming across right now but basically seek first to understand. If somebody tells me I'm wrong I don't necessarily say no immediately. I ask myself if I might just be wrong and then do my best to find out. - ThreadSky

In life to be able to form a conversation one must first seek to understand what it is about..then form the opinion they have based on information they know

That's another complete issue that I could go off about for quite some time. Too many people are not hesitant enough to enter into a conversation that they have no business being in. The expression" everyone is entitled to their opinion" is bullshit. You're not entitled until you have backing

Yup

Late to this party but glad to have y’all’s conversation to read. The part that sticks out for me is this. Hitler wasn’t HITLER until he was.

Everyone is laser focused on the end and completely ignore the beginnings.

And this is contextual part of why, I’m not a fan of both sides arguments, but in ever major historical event there’s always a lead up that matters more
Remember, the Catholic Church is the reason for the fall of the Roman Empire but also the Catholic Church used to be the Roman Empire

Exactly. If this year is disappointing, Super bowl had started out with an interception at the 1 and 1/2-yard line on a back shoulder slant pass that was ill-advised. Nobody would have said it's just like the Super bowl the Hawks lost cuz that's not how that game began

I don't know why I did this to myself just now

Even if you take something like ice cream flavors. People think that they are entitled to their opinion on the best ice cream flavor. But if somebody says that vanilla is the best ice cream flavor and they've never had vanilla ice cream, they don't deserve that opinion

I feel the same way about drivers in Richmond, can you really judge them if you haven’t survived a near death run

theonlystowie.bsky.social•2 days ago

I guess we would have to ask Colleen on that one

Yea I do not go there, they got rid of the donkey shows and are dicks

Unless of course it is a conversation that I have already had extensively and have gone through that exercise and confirmed that I am correct in my position on certain things in which case I get belligerent and loud LOL

I’m a fan of calling people cock rockets who couldn’t find a stamp in a post office so I get it

When I get frustrated at work (mostly previous jobs. My current job is actually really cool) I say things like my manager couldn't organize an orgy in a monkey whorehouse with a fist full of bananas

Saying this is worth the trip to HR

theonlystowie.bsky.social•2 days ago

But always factual instead of emotional

rob9735.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agree with the caveat some things we have to be emotional about
Especially if there’s an orange tater tot, wanna be dictator, threatening to invade our country

theonlystowie.bsky.social•2 days ago

For sure. Once somebody has had their stance, proven completely wrong and continues to refuse to give even an inch, there needs to be some emotion behind the facts. If people aren't referred to as morons, how will they know that they're being moronic?

rob9735.bsky.social•2 days ago

Sadly we can’t fix stupid
