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 learned long ago in the early days of reddit arguing with people online is a waste of time.
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.
If incoherent rants are your concern, worry not! You could be president of Murica
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.
I’m am terrible at articulating things online.
wait shit
If you express your viewpoint in a kind way, that’s genuinely the most “winning” you can possibly achieve.
Convincing people in one go is not achievable by just finding the right words.
People may disagree. They may downvote you to hell. They may thank you. They may agree. They may misunderstand.
But as long as you write kindly, people will read what you say and give it thought. Maybe it plants a seed for them to change their mind another time.
There’s also the trolls who argue in bad faith and only go online to bully.
Lemmy was trolls free at first, but then the Reddit dingle berries and grammar nazi’s showed up… and all those turds deserve downvotes. I make it a personal mission to defend users here from bullying when I see it, life’s already hard enough.
Write, proofread, rinse & repeat until satisfied
Instructions unclear, lost phone to water damage.
Instructions unclear, I keep re-reading the same paragraph and now the original post says “1 Week ago”, now its too late and it’d be weird to comment…
Go for it! Let your enemies learn that you can come for them any time!
Pfft, the best way to win an argument is to not have it. You know you’re right, fuck that other guy, not worth the time.
But, what you gotta do is grab your fucking brain, slap it in the fucking cunt, tell it to shut the fuck up and do what it’s told, or it gets a thumb up its ass again.
Now, it’s very important when disciplining your brain that you never make empty threats, so you gotta keep that thumb ready, and as soon as that fucking shit-for-brains brain talks back, you jam that thumb right up its poop chute, no excuses, no delay, no lube. You thumb fuck that brain into submission.
The only way to win is to not play
“Winning” an online argument doesn’t make sense. I just say people to block me if they don’t want to read my opinions or I block them before if they become very annoying. Who cares. It’s not like people on the internet are my friends.
Practice.
