  Heh tbh I’m not even into debating. I’m just a curious dude who lives under a rock ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  To be clear: There are some people who take the time to write out genuinely helpful answers. But the down-votes just raise another question: Why? Was the question offensive? And if so, how?

  I don’t have any big answers, but just a small piece of advice: Don’t shame people for asking questions when they just want to learn.

  I would think that’s the perfect opportunity to educate someone, but so many people will just down-vote a naive question and move on without explanation, which is even more confusing.

  I’m speaking from my own experience. I still tend to be neutral on a lot of things so far, but my brain is kinda… unusual. I think most people might gradually feel pushed away, “othered”, etc. and eventually lean in the opposite political direction than you might want.

  TL;DR: If you want people on your side, stop pushing them away. And maybe ask others on your side to stop too.

  When I was young and dumb, I really tried to ignite gasoline with lit cigarettes, and it seemed impossible. The results would have been the same with water.

  I’m sure it’s possible in just the right conditions, but it doesn’t seem easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did Musk and Trump fall out over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact: This isn’t the first time they’ve worked together and broke up. IIRC, Trump choose Musk for some advisory role during his first term (I don’t remember what, specifically). Musk resigned because Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord.

  Personally, my interest in language learning comes and goes. Doing the minimum to maintain a streak prevents me from forgetting too much before my interest returns.
