Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

    Instead of arguing to win, I argue to learn about the other side’s opinion. I trigger people for them to say more for my AI training. (/j) If the argument is something I’ve seen a thousand times then I don’t bother.

    Also, if someone starts using personal insults (“fuck you”, “kill yourself”), that means they ran out of arguments and lost.
