I’ll help with the deep conversation part. All conversations can go deep, if you keep questioning them.

It’s hot out today. -is it getting hotter every year? Seems like it. I think it’s global warming. -what do you think the solutions are?

I think Gary is cool. -what do you like about him? He’s got a sweet mustache -have you always liked mustaches? My uncle had a mustache, he used to takes us to cool places when we were kids. -would you say your uncle had a big impact on your life?

The point is, if you keep inquiring a step deeper, the conversation inevitably becomes deep. Good luck, and have fun.

I seem to remember Sweden did a study on this, but I don’t really want to google around to find it for you. Good luck!

I know how it works. It’s just gross. Watching seemingly endless money get poured into a war machine so we can get right up on russias border… And at the end of the day, Flint Michigan still has undrinkable water. Guess I’m just getting a bit tired of suffering getting the lion share of our tax dollar.

Ukraine is being attacked, give them money!

Ukraine is holding off Russia, give them money!

Ukraine is attacking Russia directly…? Uhh… give them money!

This is the comment that gave me the most to think about. I don’t have anything to add, I just wanted to let you know I appreciate it.

You are exactly the guy a don’t encounter in real life. But I think lemme is right. The reason I don’t hear you, is because if you advocated for punching conservatives at a bar, you would get hit by a conservative. So you don’t say it out loud when that’s possible. You give permission to others when there are no consequences to yourself.

It’s scary how often we’re asked to question reality. It’s equally scary how easy it is to just give in.

I live in the bay area, and wish we had more mixed zone housing. But then I see it in action in other cities and see they end up crazy expensive. So I’m not sure if it helps anything at all. Does anyone know of this actually helps or hurts?

I used to reply to this on occasion, “Oh then I have to confiscate this. Got another one?”

You can’t believe it, because it’s probably not what happened. The real story is probably stupid and boring. This story however, gets clicks.
