That would be accepting it as good communication. My point is to not do that, because it is not good communication. I agree with you though, I could have.

Say what you want, 11 paragraphs is objectively longer than what most people want to read on social media. 11 paragraphs is just annoying and unproductive.

You can see I'm right because literally everyone who isn't a hexbear is like wtf is this. It is bad communication.

I will respectfully disagree that throwing in 11 paragraphs of some text without explanation adds to a meaningful dialogue

I don't doubt that you were doing it in good faith, but the execution was still in such a way that it is off-putting.

I think a part of good, honest discourse is recognizing and respecting the time of the person you are talking with.

If you are going to respond with 11 paragraphs quoted from a book, you should preempt it by saying something to diffuse it. Something like, "oh man, this is super long but actually quite beneficial. I wrote a tldr though at the end in case you don't have time to read the whole thing."

I use this site while I'm at work. I literally don't have time to read all of that lol.

While funny, I actually genuinely don't believe that an entire population of people is "bad." I've actually made a point of living in a lot of historically "bad" places, and it turns out, everyone just wants to eat good food and have a good time 😅

Ooo cool. I could have used this.

However. You can also just put your credit card between the phone and your phone case. Simpler solution ha

I'm sorry you have so much hate for people you do not understand. Genuinely, it might be better to see people as just people, and not representatives of the worst parts of the governments they happened to be born under.

What does that do?

Idk man. Whales are literally sentient, have culture, families, and fucking language with grammar.

I'm all for eating fish and cows and most animals. But whales are basically people that happen to live in the water. I can't get on board with that.

I didn't say anything about the people. Every Russian person I have met is super nice.

Governments though, they suck. Governments bomb apartment buildings full of people. These particular governments are barbaric.

I think it is important to acknowledge that both the US government and the Russian government are responsible for terrible atrocities. It is not racist to say that.
