    If incoherent rants are your concern, worry not! You could be president of Murica

    Depression be scrambling my braincells like an egg 😓

    Exercise (even simple stretching or a small walk), good sleep, and good diet (supplementation if needed) clear my brain fog a little. Depending on the cause of my brain fog, caffeine can help too.

    I find usually when I can’t articulate something clearly, it’s because I haven’t thought about it/researched it well enough, and I should stop trying to contribute on that topic until I have a better understanding.

    That’s why I often end up writing long comments, but don’t hit post. Not a waste of time though, as it helps me identify areas in which I’m more ignorant than I thought I was.

    It takes years of practice. It’s not worth it.

    It’s not fun or fulfilling, it ends up just a compulsion to keep twats from dominating the talking points of a community.

      So true. It’s a lot more giving personally to use smaller forums where specific hobbies or interests only are discussed.

        And even then there are often still trolls… and also attention vampires who refuse to read anything unless directed specifically at them.

    Maybe instead of “winning”, y’all could debate to understand. You might even get a better outcome that includes both perspectives.

      There’s really not much debate because we’re no longer discussing different approaches to agreed upon problems.

      You can debate different policies to improve low standard of living. But right now one side’s stance is that this isn’t a problem they care to solve.

      You can debate whether current DEI policies or some other policy is the best way to address systemic racism. You can’t debate whether systemic racism exists.

      Debate happens when people agree upon one reality and disagree on how to address it. When one side is in a different reality, debate won’t fix it. I don’t know what will…

        The only thing that can fix it is the effects of believing in the wrong reality showing itself. If you believe that 1+1=3 and you try to do math with it, you will fail. The same thing needs to happen with any other discrepancy of reality and belief.

        The problem of course is that the delay between cause/effect, or the indirectness, for many other things are too big for people to make the connection, as well as the unlimited amount of human mental biases allowing all kinds of manipulation. For that, I have no solution, apart from showing people how good of a life you can live if you fight against your own mental biases.
