@rizzleperizzle I like to toe the line of "into politics because being silent is siding with the oppressor", but it's also not my area of expertise, so I do a lot of listening, learning, and reposting.
@rizzleperizzle I agree that logic, reason and manners are all important, as well as conceding to expertise where applicable. Most of the troubles in conversations I have tend to occur when none of those are present.
Also, YW! I honestly had to look it up recently myself.
@TheHairlockSupreme A lot of wisdom in that approach. I don't mind a bit of spouting off. I think, for better or worse, it's the essence of democracy to have and express opinions on things we don't make our living at- so long as they're somewhat traceable through reason and logic. Manners are key, tho, and conceding when someone makes a good point. Unrelated: I was today years old when I learned that it's "Toe the line" and not "Tow the line" so THANK YOU lol 🍻
