  • Thanks man.

  • How do you get better at communicating your thoughts in discussions?

    Jump

  • IRL I might just have an unorthodox, even ignorant, way of looking at things. Which often leads me to be in the minority opposition. So yeah, wouldn’t hurt to be a better communicator lol

    Or you might be smarter than them on that topic too. Imagine that first guy making a working machine that can read your mind for video games (I have articles that can explain that, but I can't search for them now). Maybe don't look at it as wrong vs right or ignorant vs knowledgeable, but look at it as a 2 way learning process.

  • It also depends on whether it's real life or online. Online especially, it's harder to tell if they're discussing with you in good faith or they're trolling you (depending on the topic, of course). If it's not good faith, leave a clarifying comment and leave.

    Don't be afraid of getting it wrong or misunderstanding someone. That's exactly why there is a discussion. Just admit it, take the loss, and learn from it.

  • I think it's an ongoing beast, it would need someone heading it and protecting it. Unfortunately, Wales is protecting his cash as well.

  • If you were wondering why a republican called another republican out, it's because he abused his daughter.

  • They're trying to bring wikipedia down this way, aren't they? I have to admit, this is a fantastic approach, find an issue everyone hates and then beat it to death. We have to protect wikipedia at all costs. Jimmy Wales, let them unionize before you lose the best thing you've ever done for the world.
