90% of statistics on the internet are made up on the spot. Just because people stop replying to you doesn't mean you've "changed their views", but that's the only thing you will encounter if you never stop before they do. A big hint that they won't be convinced is how they will just try to nitpick the most irrelevant points in your replies, ignoring the crux of the argument.

Acting like that is a good way to get stuck wasting your time, just give them a chance to know the facts and correct themselves with actual evidence and citations, and then move on. You help more people "change their views" that way, nobody is going to your shitpost deeply nested reply threads anyway. Nobody worth considering, anyway.

Instructions unclear, am jerking off to political debates on brazzers

I don't argue to make them change their mind, I argue to make them angry >:)

Haven't thought about it like that, but I guess you're right. Though, I can comfort myself in thinking I only "troll" bad people.

You don't realize that you're wrong in the moment. The idea bounces around in your head long enough for your brain to decide it was your own conclusion. We can become less biased, but make no mistake: our brains are a total mess.

This is what happens when evolution throws hardware at a problem, succeeds, and it's still poorly optimized.

I've definitely changed my mind on a few things as a result of online discussions. I can't remember specifically what the topics were, unfortunately. What I do remember is that it didn't happen the moment of the disagreement. It was a few days later when the topic came back up for unrated reasons and I realized I had the other opinion.

Realizing you're wrong while you're still tilted is the weirdest feeling.

I know this is just a joke, but I'm reading a book on quitting right now and one of the points she is driving home is that if you quit at the right time, it tends to feel too early to quit.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

How to differentiate it from actually quitting too early?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It feels too early. The idea is that you have to recognize your own cognitive and social biases that make us want to persist and objectively determine whether it makes sense to go on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That sounds interesting, what's the book?

Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away

Definitely an interesting read ( or listen as I've done).

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The trick is to argue with the voices in your own head and simply project them on to other people's comments.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

i cannot express how much i hate that, why must people keep imagining points and opinions i never said or made
